Oh wow. I dont know what baffles me more, your statistics or our government actions with relation to your statistics. No wonder you dont want lockdown to be lifted. I'd be worried too. Except for I wouldnt as those statistics are complete rubbish.

So what should happen now? let's shut down the state once again and screw everyone going back to work and living a life. Just because of a rather insignificant growth rate.

We have to keep social distancing going. We can't keep people locked up inside for eternity for a 1.4% growth rate. Protect the elderly by all means, but get healthy people back to work.

Maybe this will help you decide, economy over lives....

So you don’t like the figures, they don’t suit you so they are rubbish.

Pity you didn’t look at them long enough to realise they are figures for a different part of the world

Come on man don't be a misery guts. Tell us how many people recovered. Oh wait.....

He forgot to tell us that less than 2000 people have the virus in Ireland and a huge % aren’t now contagious. You’ll never see that posted on here.

RobitTV

196,958 people recovered and were discharged from hospital in Spain.

2% of the current active cases are critical. 98% are mild.

But don't let the facts and positive news get in the way of some doom and gloom and rosary bead holders.

No, they are rubbish because they are.

If we had a pandemic that had 4.4% mortality or 3.6% mortality, total covid deaths now would easily be 5 million + worldwide.

But they arent, in fact road crashes account for more deaths so far this year than covid.

RobitTV

21,060 people have made a recovery in Ireland. But the "worst is not over"

You should just look at the figures.
They are for Georgia.

Yeah I'm one of the people calling for the lockdown measures to end quicker, but I'm not overly against this quarantine. Why risk importing cases? Can't imagine our tourism industry is going to be booming in the next 2 months regardless, under the current plan it will mostly still be closed. No point encouraging people to leave the country and spend their money elsewhere either..

I’ll spend my money where I want thanks all the same. I don’t fancy being a prisoner on this island indefinitely. Freedom of travel underpins EU policy. Whilst the rest of the EU closes its borders I’ve no problem adopting similar here but once borders reopen across the continent it’s unrealistic to think we should be any different.

They are also highly infectious and generate surges that are known for bringing down health systems, typical of road crashes LOL

Case Fatality rate is not the same as infection fatality rate.

Various serology studies have put infection fatality rate of 0.1-0.4%

You don't have to look any further than our own Health care workers, Over 8.000 confirmed infected and only 7 have died.

Fatality rate among Irish Health care workers is less than 0.1%.

Lets keep the thread relevant to Ireland as you've mentioned yourself earlier that Peru/Brazil figures are unreliable and state of Georgia figures are unreliable. Surely our figures ARE reliable?

Event was limited to 5000 people. We should down to single figure digits by end of june and then u will see us open up.

Irish Aris

Just thinking out loud and nothing to back it up, I reckon though that in US there is more pressure to re-open the economy as quickly as possible, money talks and all that. So maybe they are a bit more open to take the risk that people will get infected and some of them will die. I am not saying that this is right or wrong, just that this could be their approach.

Having said that though, I work for an American multinational and in the latest update they have pretty much hinted that everyone that can work from home will probably continue to do so until October or even the end of the year.

Wow. They clearly didnt hear WHO announcing covid mortality rate of 3.6%.

Or they did and realized WHO also advised against travel bans from China in January. Lol credibility shot.

Your last bit is Epic.

You go on about opening up, that lockdown isn’t necessary and then when actual scientific evidence of lockdown being lifted to early elsewhere shows you that lifting restrictions early can be a big mistake you want to keep this to just Irish figures.

Also a note on Israel


While Israel has largely emerged from its two-month lockdown, many regulations remain in place, including a ban on gatherings of more than 50 people in open-air settings, according to guidelines posted by police.
Restaurants, bars, pools and hotels are only slated to open later this month and a ban on concerts and other live events is only set to be rolled back on June 14. Masks are still required in most settings, though that regulation was temporarily suspended this week due to a heat wave.

HA! Really now? How is that? People can go outside in a watered down lockdown. Unless working in an office is beneficial to the old immune system?

People have less reason to go outside. Going outside for the sake of being outside gets boring and repetitive if you’re just aimlessly walking around a build up area like most of us who live in the cities are doing.

Normal life gives plenty of reasons to be active.

And do you know why that is? Because we have leaders in this country that care about more than just money.

Trumps business interest are in property and hospitality, two areas that stand to be massively affected by this. His motivations have always been financial.

The only trolls on here are the people spreading fear and hysteria in order to be proven right.

Let's ignore the recoveries and declining cases. We need our egos boosted.

What is your opinion of covid mortality in Ireland? Looking at below factual evidence? Or you dont believe our own figures?

I disagree, i accept that people think differently and that's totally fine. I am not here to cause a scene.

But i don't agree with certain users spreading fear stories about people going up mountains and going outdoors :rolleyes:
