Your not factoring in the MASSIVE difference of population though. Even for Italians, it is very unlikely any particular individual will get Covid-19.


Look at China, 80k have gotten it out of 1 billion. That is not very many in the grand scale of things and of those 80k, only a small percent have died. Whilst the numbers are slightly higher in Italy even when total population are considered, its not really that bad. And it wont get nearly as bad here.

Those numbers mean a lot to their families and relatives.

As a complete aside, would anyone happen to know which Boards thread had recorded the most posts before Corona Virus?

The only threads I can think of are:

Paddy Jackson
8th Amendment
Anna Kriegel
Graham Dwyer
Donald Trump

You dont seem to realise that the word commandeer has more than one meaning and is not just a militaristic take over of a facility; commandeer also means that you are enlisting someones help in a task. And thats all the govt. will be doing in renting out hotels with the hotels being paid for it. Maybe you should consult your dictionary in future before going off on rants about authoritarianism?

From Cabridge dictionary:


commandeer

verb [ T ]
uk

"to take possession of or control private property by force or for military use"

What dictionary are you using. Urban dictionary doesn't count by the way

I don't think it's silly at all, I made a similar point here yesterday.

Perhaps residents of countries with higher levels of pollution are more prone to the very bad effects?

I'd imagine hospital stats in the early stages can be misleading as initially hospitals will take in a lot of confirmed cases regardless of how severe the infection is or age so that the medical staff can see first hand symptoms and go through the treatments etc.

Over time the numbers start to give a better indication of the age profile of patients that are seriously ill with the virus

Good point. There was a doctor posting here last week psudo something , can’t remember the name.

Would be interesting to see what he thinks as he was quite informative

It's going to be interesting watching you move quickly through several stages of grief over the next week or two.

I hope you stick around

Only 80k got it because they locked parts of the country down. Tens of millions of people were in that lockdown.
Hospitals aren't equipped to handle thousands of cases of any highly contagious disease coming in at once. There just isn't enough space, staff or equipment. There is no vaccine or cure. The number needs to be kept low or else hospitals cannot cope.

Look at Italy. They don't have enough ventilators so they can't treat everyone. Some are left to die.

Web summit was a few years ago in the rds, now in Lisbon I think. Not sure about one in February

Had been think of heading there today but was feeling a bit lazy and opted for the cliff walk in Ardmore instead.
The one thing about that walk up to Coumshingaun is that once you get over the first bit in the woods social distancing shouldn't be a problem.

YOU are constantly post nonsense in the covid19 threads.

Did it occur to you that other countries, including Italy who have top of the range healthcare systems, better than ours, have been brought to their knees ?

7500 ventilators in Italy and still not enough. Triaging the people with health problems to die on morphine, so those with a chance of surviving being intubated can try and live. Even still the damage done to those who have to be intubated, means their lives will be short anyway.

Grand scale, my hole.

There's a pub local to me (rural) that's currently open letting the alcoholics in via the back door?

Should I call the Guards and report it?

hmmm

30% of patients testing positive in Korea, including many who would otherwise be asymptomatic (no fever or cough), are reporting that they have lost taste and smell. It could be an important indication that someone is infected.

""We have also identified a new symptom (loss of sense of smell and taste) that may mean that people without other symptoms but with just the loss of this sense may have to self-isolate - again to reduce the spread of the virus."

Pubs supposedly still not adhering to guidelines! This is why there will be a lock down earlier than needed imo

Went to Aldi this morning to get some groceries.

I was in the queue 2 metres behind the man before me (as marked on the floor).
This oul biddy aggressively goes to me ARE YOU IN THE QUEUE!?

I said yes, just keeping my distance.

WELL IF YOU WANT DISTANCE GO OUTSIDE!! she says to me.. Still plenty of ignorant people out there

People ignoring social distancing.


Bit like shopping at the same time, like nothing is happening.


The pandemic is just a big inconvenience.

So, I had to drop some supplies down to the father in law this afternoon. Decided I’d have a quick drive around the Phoenix park since it’s a nice day out an all.

The place was packed! Looked like people were struggling to find parking. Lots of people walking, jogging, cycling, picnics, sports etc.

On the radio it mentioned there was queues to get to the hellfire club. Roads were busy.
I imagine every hotspot was packed today.

People walking carrying flowers that I assume are for dropping into their mothers.

Seriously though, absolutely way too many people out in terms of stopping the spread of a virus.

I reckon a full lockdown is the only way.

Just wondering if members of the travelling community will be at a higher risk of getting infected due to their lower life expectancy and many living in small spaces in close proximity to each other. It's a genuine question and it may have been answered already so I don't want to turn into an US versus THEM response. I've been thinking about it for the last few days and hadn't seen anything mentioned about it.

See if he was enough of a selfish prick to go to Cheltenham knowing full well the risks then you shouldn't be in the least bit surprised that he is still acting like a selfish prick now. These wankpuffins don't give a flying **** about anyone only themselves in many cases not even their own family.

Do you believe the numbers coming out of China ? Oh, to be that innocent again.
They tried cover up the outbreak.
Lying to the WHO about human-to-human transmission after they knew it was happening. And didn't they threaten doctors.

If social distancing is being observed what's the problem. The government has not banned us from going out unless your showing symptoms or are a high risk group or a confirmed case.

Operation Lima goes into effect

Minister for Foreign Affairs, Simon Coveney, has said that there is an agreement between Aer Lingus and British Airways to send a charter flight to Lima in Peru in the coming days to bring Irish citizens stranded there home.

He said to charter this British Airways flight will cost around €300,000, but he understands that in this situation, that around 70% of that can be claimed back from the EU.

Mr Coveney said plans now need to be made to ensure that Irish citizens who are in Peru make their way to the capital Lima, where they can take this charter flight.

He said around 60 or 70 of the 135 Irish citizens in Peru are mostly backpackers and are in different parts of the country, outside the capital.

We've got to lock this mother****a down pronto.

Utopia Parkway

All the usual holiday spots are absolutely rammed around the country like its a Summer's bank holiday weekend. Forecast is decent for the week ahead too which will only encourage people to get in the car and go for a drive or a stroll. And the vast majority are heading to the same popular spots.
