Your opinion about suicide is terribly and horribly ignorant.

I'm sorry but it's a reality and I don't agree with it.
Here in Norway they don't dare speak about suicide or any news related to it, weird for sure.

Amazing the places where people are looking for treatment solutions!

From bats to cats via humans.

That's mad, transferred from animals (bats) to humans & now back again to animals (cats)!

Dogs have also been diagnosed previously and one has died (though it's not currently known if directly related to the virus):-

heres another post for the unpopular opinions thread....

the government realise there'll be a certain proportion of people who follow their guidelines to the letter, a proportion who will go further than that, and a sizable proportion who will flout the guidelines, either once in a while or often. thats all built in to the modelling of the spread of the virus.

Dr. Tony Holohan was on RTE saying there's no-one in hospital waiting rooms, beds are empty... maybe some of us are being too careful

Can you not see the daily deaths rise already?
They expect ICUs to be full by Easter Sunday.
After that, it's a points system (age,underlying issues) that determines who gets the ventilator.

If ICUs have capacity by next Sunday, we are winning.. time to double down.

I think those estimates are way way too optimistic, if we want to continue protecting the vulnerable we will need September at a minimum.

A couple of weeks ago a post like this would attract dozens of thanks, now it attracts dozens of posts disagreeing.

The penny is starting to drop, for all but the most fervent bedroom-dwellers, that a lockdown beyond the next few weeks, isn't sustainable.

So why is he going answering phone calls then? That’s ok to do but not go on the ward. Answering phone calls is still time taken from his job as Taoiseach.

If the job of Taoiseach can be double jobbed with another role during a national emergency, then the role and wage needs to be looked at once this is over.

Two words: patient confidentiality

Doesn’t stop people who die form multiple other reasons being named regularly, car accidents, work place accidents, drownings etc etc

*not saying I necessarily think people should be named who have died from Covid but why there is a difference is strange. They should definitely be giving exact ages and much more narrowed down locations (but obviously not exact).

Quoting pseudonym from here

Summary:
People talking with any certainty about lockdown being done in 2 to 4 weeks or in for the whole year don't know what they're talking about. The probability is lockdown till the end of May followed by a gradual reduction in the severity of lockdown until a death rate, which is deemed the maximum level which the public will tolerate on an ongoing basis, is reached and allowed run to October. In Q4 we'll have to see a tightening of restrictions again to keep the death rate down. What death rate will they view as acceptable? I suspect 50 dead a day or less will be the level but don't know, a lot depends on what the public tells them is acceptable. In 2021 it'll all be about keeping the death rate at an acceptable daily level until we get the vaccine. As treatments improve fewer social and economic restrictions will be required to maintain a stable daily death rate which is acceptable to the public.

The Govt were right about this. Towns acting unilaterally were completely ignoring the advice of the Govt and the CMO.....totally the wrong thing to do in the middle of a pandemic and sending out the wrong message.

The Govt specifically told these towns further guidelines were on the way imminently and to wait for the official advice.

So the nursing homes should have remained open too??? Since Harris and the CMO had stated that too?? Imagine the shit show in them now if they hadn't closed when they did. :rolleyes:

If my dad catches this and it kills him I would have no issue for him to be named as a remembrance thing.
Makes it all the more real for the public, like seeing a name of a person and not just numbers and statistics.
Victim naming is a thing you know, and dying from a virus isn't seen as a shameful act such as suicide.
And yes, I am suggesting something is odd about this corona thing.

What do you find "odd" about it?

Yes people are named when the family gives the go ahead, HSE/DOH have no rights.

5 year old boy dies after falling from farm trailer they havent named this boy, why? Because its just happened imagine how the poor childs family are doing! RIP

Im sure his name will appear in the media in the coming days, but only after the family give the go ahead.

Sky news a minute ago - the Queen’s speech to the U.K. was meant to go out on Easter Sunday , but was brought forward to yesterday.

Interesting ... does lend credence to it being linked to Boris’s worsening condition.

Alot happens in a week at the moment, needed to get the message out sooner rather than later I would guess

Sweet Jesus - no wonder there’s a certain degree of secrecy or obsfuscation when it comes to covid19 information from governments. And that started with the CCP. Trying to prevent a genuine mass panic and civil unrest?

And it really begins to explain the numerous cases in Italy where they couldn’t get patients off ventilators. If this virus attacks the oxygen transport mechanism in blood itself , that is genuinely friggin scarey as hell.

Again, for those extolling the Swedish course of action
