Ranked 3 for what ?

Agree. We are doing good so far at managing case numbers.

Nursing home clusters have raised the death rates significantly. That cannot be ignored.

Seems to be the case in many countries certainly in Italy, Spain, USA and here.

It's funny how all the experts talk as if everything is Trumps idea - under the direction of Trump, at the request of Trump....

I don’t think anyone’s been laid off, there’s no lockdown, my friend in South Korea says there is no lockdown they just obey the government to wear masks always and they don’t socialize, just go to work and home.

That is the truth.

Can’t really get my head around it , same people spouting the same crap day after day but **** me the government might not be perfect but they are handling this better than a lot of the so called powerhouse nations.

I've been banging on about this for ages now.

It was encouraging to see Journalists at the daily briefing today raising the issue.

Maybe what we say here does get heard where it matters.

The whole world is struggling with the this crisis.

It's now a global crisis.

I don't see the point in turning this into a political issue and blaming our politicians with hilarious names.

15,000 tests a day is not a PR exercise, it's a target they are working towards and they are presently at 5,000 a day. By tests I mean results, not just swabs. They were at 2,000 last week.
People do not accept it takes to get all these things up and running.

Constant sniping at politicians and other geniuses pointing out how they predicted this crisis the moment they heard a person in Wuhan had a sore throat is boring , and that the government should have gone full lock-down in February,achieve nothing and make this thread unreadable.

In the meantime our death rates remain low compared to other countries and that's nothing to do with the impact of the decisions taken by the government. It now means their forecasts were false.

Just on that 5000 tests a day - both Cillian De Gascun (chair of the HSE’s Coronavirus Expert Advisory Group) and Dr. Tony Holohan (our Chief Medical officer) said tonight that we are doing 1,500 per day.

“Over the last week we have seen a significant fall-off in the number of tests provided because of the shortfall in global supplies, so we’re probably in or around 1,500 per day, that’s across the country,” Cillian De Gascun

Be interesting to see the death toll of that group. Interesting is probably morbidly wrong to use, but a police force should be healthy imo.

I did not say I would rather live there , he asked where would I rather be and I took up the question to mean which country has produced a better reaction to the outbreak. I dint consider money because I am OK for money at the moment, maybe I should have. What I was considering was the medical reaction and they are certainly well ahead of Ireland in that respect.

That's why wearing a mask is great...BUT... everyone wearing a mask is GREATER.

They may lax the rules somewhat but when you have healthcare workers being asked to live in isolation (i.e. healthcare workers not all living together), you can't let the general public go out to the beach at the weekend.

Like people say that the city is dead etc, but if you went into a hospital it's probably been as busy as it's every been, especially ICU beds.

I think I'll be working from home until August at the earliest - I hope I'm wrong - I just don't see how they can let everything go back to normal without a widescale vaccine.

I am due to start mat leave in May. Currently working from home. I doubt I will see the office again before the end of my mat leave next year. It's so strange

Agree with other posters who said things will likely be phased back in. Restrictions wont be just switched off at midnight on some specific date.

Isolate: You do as asked and go somewhere and don't come out for the prescribed period

Quarantine: Someone forces you into a compound surrounded by a tall razor-wire topped fence and men with guns on the outside keep you there for as long as they want.

If you want to be "fully protected" put a condom over your head. Or better still, stay away from everyone for a long long time.



We have two eyes, two nostrils one (larger) mouth.


We don't tend to inhale water particles through our eyes.


It's always about probabilities-minimizing the risks.
