Serious crime can still be dealt with by way of special sittings.

In reality most public order, low level drugs and general petty crimes can be put back a few weeks if necessary while violent crime is dealt with on a case by case basis by way of special sittings.

It would be far more damaging to the administration of justice if huge numbers of judges become unavailable to oversee proceedings due to illness.

I know it's a nice story to tell, but were they? Really? Do you have any examples?

Come on Beasty you know it's true, check the Irish Times, indo, news talk etc sites from a few weeks ago. "the risk is low" was repeated as nauseum.
Before that they barely even covered it and this was a regular complaint right here on these threads.

We have one of the strongest economies in the world.

Us being isolated is an advantage in this instance and you don't have to worry about your parents unless they are very old and your kids will experince only mild symptoms, if any at all because this virus doesn't target their age group.

My point is that people are over reacting and absolutely pulling the mickeys off themselves to the misery porn being pedalled by media who are currently in a slow news cycle.

Follow the simple instructions from the HSE, accept that some old and sick people are probably going to die and look back on all this in a few months time as just another Y2K, peak oil, SARS, Sellafield.

That’s one of the most narrow minded, ill informed, immature moronic posts on any of the 6 threads on this topic.

Not much comfort, but the overall ratio of mild as opposed to serious or critical cases continues to rise. Currently 89/11. Was 80, then to went to 87.



In Italy its currently 90/10.

The higher that number goes the better, more resources can go towards the more serious cases.

So when do the HSE change the testing criteria, is it when confirmed cases go over 100, because if I get this and I am isolating but start having breathing problems and I keep getting the runaround with the testing criteria I WILL go to A&E as I will be fearing for my life. Of course I'll explain this as well as phoning my GP for him to explain to HSE my condition, but if I can't get that test I will be forced to present. Crossing my fingers I don't get it at all but would hate to catch it in a months time when they start the triage phase.

Whats the point? I am sure 1000's of people have already had it and haven't even noticed.
Testing should be focussed on the vulnerable.

Not really, what im saying is no matter what pedestal anyone is put on or puts themselves on.

If they get the corona virus it'll knock them off that pedestal.

Juat because you or others look up to these people it doesn't make them high profile, they're just ordinary people who are unfortunate to come in contact with covid 19

Until we run out of resources to throw at the serious cases and then have to make the hard decisions on who lives and dies.

Much thanks for posting this. Cronaldo in his jocks and Dybala shirtless is always worth a look. Has lightened the mood for me anyway.

Does flattening the curve mean we still get the same number of cases but over a longer period of time? Or is there a way to reduce the number even if it can’t be eradicated?

A couple of weeks of a shutdown now of all but essential workplaces, public transport, schools and unis would do wonders to slow this spread.

With the resources being limited, in a sea of bad news let's take all the good news we get.

Yes (kinda)

Treatments and vaccines. Both of which are being worked on at a crazy pace at the moment.

You have contributed nothing but obnoxious post after obnoxious post in your short tenure on this site. Clearly for the purpose of stirring up an incendiary reaction. Why bother, are you that troubled in your own personal life or just a plain sociopath?

God you're really annoying joke shop. Very very irritating. Hope you have no elderly relations. Idiot.

Or relatives with chronic conditions.

Or relatives.

Even if you are cold, and pragmatic, and willing to sacrifice everyone over the age of 60 for the sake of a few euro it would be wise to recognize (even for one's own selfishness) that the entire health service will collapse if we have 10s of thousands of cases. It will just cease to function. The health service is used by all sections of society.

If you have a ruptured appendix and there is no health service to care for you, there's a fairly high chance that you'll die. What am I saying? A weak member of society that is suffering from appendicitis should be culled anyway, waste of space.

Would a medic know if the drowning pneumonia, or a distressing version of this associated with C19, could be helped with palliative care.

I hope so, have an elderly relative suffering at the moment but is battling on at home, however she has said DNR but asked us to try and make her passing as pain free and as comfortable as possible if she contracts the C19. I have heard some awful stories. Thanks.

If you're trying to spout "true facts" and sh!t please stop. You're not funny and you need to seriously consider what you're typing before you say it. You're becoming really insensitive about certain people's situations (like above) and it's just downright wrong.

Please for the sake of others, stop trying to spout "le funneyy xD facts" on "oh well people are gonna die regardless even if its sad it'll happen." There's a time and place to say those things, and it isn't here.

This is the last of my opinion, you're not funny and you're not helping anybody here.

Not necessarily. It can be 6mths to a year after an arrest before it gets to court. Unless it's a special sitting, that's pretty much straight away.

I think one or two are seriously ill which is in line with internatioanl rates.

So none? Bring seriously ill doesn't mean ICU.

I say again, it's a virus. It WILL spread. By all means stay at home but remember that there's thousands of people in this country that cannot stay at home and those people will need to go home. They will need to interact with people who stayed at home.

Then there's the thousands that need to go shopping, to the doctor for non covid stuff and so on and so forth.

The other thread was locked but let me just finish by stating that so the illnesses I mentioned there were contagious (somehow someone claimed HIV is not contagious unless....)

Wash your hands, wear a mask if you want but for the love of Jebus stop acting like it's the end of days. No illness with 10% mortality rate at it's highest will have such an effect.
