The Red Hand will smite you, yellow NW (Donegal yellow and green).

Otherwise correct, haven't had any NW for quite a while.

Yeah I have seen it but that other person being anonymous it could have been anybody. Maybe doctor or maybe just a janitor...
There are other comments there from other doctors and nurses so he may be onto something there.

the guy seemed to have info about him being taken off the ICU ward though

Sweet Jesus - just got an alert. Boris to go on a ventilator. “Sources”.

Unconfirmed obviously.

First link I found. Dunno how much trust I'd place in it TBH
Russia’s main state news agency claims it has a “source close to the leadership of the NHS” who says Boris Johnson is being put on a ventilator 🤔

Interesting video from a doc in NY.

So he thinks it’s like a high altitude sickness, so many unknowns about this new disease.

Yeah , I got it from Sputnik.

But it does tie into what I heard on LBC - that doctors were concerned about his breathing.

From what I can gather, a lot of our deaths seem to have occurred in nursing homes. I think Tony Holohan gave a figure of 15 deaths in hospitals after we had over 110 deaths. This would seem to tie in with the clusters of cases in nursing homes and the high median age of those who died.
Obviously, a huge effort needs to be made to care for those in nursing homes. There is a crumb of comfort in that cases in the general public seem to be relatively low. It could be that in 4 - 6 weeks, we could be back at work under restrictions

Looking at the European averages there isn't much of a crum of comfort for us really. We are still being hit proportionally higher than other small countries like Austria, Denmark and Norway.

I'm not sure what this means, I just found it interesting. Scientific studies have concluded that males are more susceptible to infection than females. (Previous post)

The distribution of cases in Italy reflect this but the numbers to date in South Korea and Ireland go against it.

Distribution of Coronavirus cases in Italy as of April 3, 2020, by gender
54% Maies

Distribution of Coronavirus cases in South Korea as of April 3, 2020, by gender
40% Maies

Covid-19: 21 further deaths, 390 new cases in Republic of Ireland

The figures released this evening relate to data from the HPSC as of midnight on Friday, 3 April.

It shows that 47% of the cases of Covid-19 are men and 53% are women

Fantastic gesture by Leo. Not alone has he shown such examplary leadership throughout the crisis but to actually roll up his sleeves in the midst of it all and help out says alot about the man. Fair play to him.

I have no problem with Leo ,I think he is doing the best he can at the minute . There will be no need for him to roll up his sleeves ,my understanding is he will answer the phone one day a week with no specified hours . Please correct me if I have the wrong information

I sometimes wonder reading news updates in this thread if I'm still on the last page.
People - 4 hour old news has probably been reported multiple times already

Yet in Ireland more females are testing positive..

What he is saying makes sense.
He's getting a lot of agreement and encouragement from other health care professionals.

Screenshot below of the Russian website which seems to have started this. No clue about it’s reliability though.

Edit: I looked it up and it seems to be an affiliate of Sputnik so fairly institutional Russian media. Not sure what they’d have to gain for publishing this incorrectly and they’d look silly if it turned out to be immediately proven wrong; so I am inclined to think there is at least some truth in it. But I guess we’ll know more soon enough.

With Boris being admitted 11 days after testing positive, does this not raise questions about the 7 days of self isolation and if it should be increased over there?

It's 7 days isolation if your symptoms stop. If your symptoms don't stop after 7 days then you keep isolating.

No great fan of Boris Johnson but last thing this country and the EU generally needs is a power vacuum in the UK, and ensuing power struggle.

He wasn't taken to hospital by ambulance though, if he was serious enough to require a ventilator then surely he would have need an ambulance

“ The Guardian was told last week that Johnson was more seriously ill than either he or his officials were prepared to admit, and that he was being seen by doctors who were concerned about his breathing.”

The determination of whether or not he might need the assistance of a ventilator is unlikely to have been able to be made at his residence, i.e. without the benefit of additional diagnostic measures normally made at hospital.

Also, I can understand the desire of all in Downing Street not to have an ambulance turn up and fuel rumours, when his police protection could convey him to any number of London hospitals in minutes.

Agreed, a hospital is only minutes away, so it was probably well choreographed.

And it would be rather easy have oxygen in the car, if that helps.

This could be anything, but they wouldn't send him as a precaution.

It is'nt, at current numbers ~400 a day confirmed cases, 20% (80) of those will need to go into hospital, and of those 20% (16) will require an ICU bed.
That's an absolute minimum.


The average stay in ICU is 15 days, a widely accepted figure for current infection rates is generally 10 times confirmed cases, so 50,000 active cases, plug those numbers into the formula above and then tell me again how much bollocks i'm talking.

Even with the numbers above the ICUs wouldn't be overrun in 2-3 days which is what you stated in the original post.

So yes you were talking bollocks
