Good news is a slight slowdown in the rate of increase of new cases.

Bad news new cases are up on yesterday by 200 I think and that's the highest number of single day deaths so far by far.

Just had a friend ring me form UK asking if it was ok to drop up for a visit next weekend as he is over visiting his parents.. I politely told him to stay where he was. He honestly didn’t see what the problem was and said I was being dramatic and said if it was that serious the health authorities in U.K. would be doing more about it. This is a well educated man in a professional job . The mind boggles how a lot of U.K. residents are in the same mind frame.

I do appreciate that worry.

Do you appreciate though that without an "OTT lock down", you're talking of deaths in the 100k+ range?

In Ireland?

Is that the one where you just hear a voice of a guy who says his mate works for Europacar?

Unfortunately fake news is lapped up by many as 100% true.
A work colleague told me the Irish army are being mobilized to seal off the border tomorrow night/Tuesday morning.

The bit about EuropaCar is true. They have taken a lot of cars from them. Friend works for them and confirmed this. I think the stuff about the 8am announcement is nonsense.

If mortgage payments will be defferred so be the rents. I do not see how any landlord will try and succeed to evict you.

This is how society breaks down. Just because the law is in the tenant side, doesn’t mean man’s lizard brain is. Things could get bleak if this recklessness continues.

Yeah.. People should not be throwing money at some random guy who set up a GoFundMe page. Our government are financially equipped to feed them.

Thats an idea. If the Govt sanctioned an official GoFundMe to ease the burden and channeled the cash towards doctors and nurses I'd donate.

How did it go so wrong for Italy???

Their infection rate is the worst in the world.

They'll have as many deaths as the whole of China within a week if these figures continue.

I wouldnt put it passed some of the vultures but the thing is they need to change like everything else does. Keep their ridiculous rent prices high and they themselves can enjoy getting zero rent.


This isnt a time for greedy arséholes.

China's numbers are a complete pile of rubbish.

Some of us will catch this virus and say 'Why me?'. However there'll be euphoria all over Europe in May 2021 when Eurovision is finally held, but spare a thought for those who met their Waterloo. Hopefully the vast majority of us will rise like a Phoenix.

To conclude, at the end of the day J'aime la vie

How bad could the societal impact be?
I know solitary confinement is a form of torture but are we talking total breakdown of law and order after 4 weeks?

People are only going to be in face to face isolation, they're still in constant contact 24/7 with whoever they wish through their phone, computers, gaming console etc. It really shouldn't be likened to solitary confinement. :rolleyes:

Jim_Hodge

Action groups have been set up in our, and the neighbouring, parish to run errands for those venerable or unable to get to the shops and to keep contact with those feeling isolated. I'm excluded from helping because I'm over 60 but would love to help out. This is when a community shows it's real power and compassion.

What's gonna happen to the UK with them delaying containment

Are cases going to skyrocket

It isn't what he is doing. He is trying to get a vaccine and then sell it off to other countries while his own will be looked after either way (after it is developed).

Well I say looked after. I mean probably "free" to pay a massive amount to get it. Land of the free and all that.

He's really looking to get reelected and this could put the kybosh on it!

He has to look after Americans first, its his job. If Leo had a vaccine that would help everyone in Ireland but he shared with with the world instead so that say, 25% of Irish were looked after, would you be OK with that?

The correct analogy would be Leo finding out an Irish company is working with a German company to build a vaccine, then us trying to buy the vaccine exclusively for us based on that.

Trump is a dirt bag for trying this.

Can you explain what NSAIDs are ?

Here you go

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are members of a drug class that reduces pain, decreases fever, prevents blood clots, and in higher doses, decreases inflammation.

Just got a message from my sister who's a doctor that NSAIDs will seriously worsen the prognosis of someone who contracts this.

This was from an advisory from a consultant in Cork that 4 young people with no underlying conditions are seriously ill. All apparently on NSAIDs.

Crazy stuff

Have seen this mentioned on twitter today by a few reputable sources. A fever seems like it should be just left alone.

370 deaths in Italy good lord, they must have run out of the ICU beds today like they were saying last night.

Poor_old_gill

Once again I'm only joining this now as have been at work since 7am.

Is there talk of mortgage deferrals? Or is that just boards speculation?
