Not worth having a discussion on a discussion forum when people have different opinions, eh?



It didn't reach 19 at any of the reporting points, which is just a point in time, but why reject what the man in charge of the HSE is publishing?

Can't say I would trust as gospel what Paul Reid says.

He has been known during this pandemic to stretch the truth before or fudge certain statistics.

In this case I doubt he would want to but it is right to question. I don't think he has much medical background tbh.

If someone posts an anecdote that doesn’t fit a certain narrative, it’s a lie. Kinda how things work around here.

I presume you're not going to claim that isn't the case from both sides.

People in Dublin South are largely working from home with and will all have a personal vehicle

Similar trend in Madrid, as always the working classes take the brunt

Really not that hard if you plan your activity to avoid them. Most people, this cohort included, are still having a go at distancing.

That is true.


However, some people need to go to the shops (delivery is not available everywhere, and not for everything), the dentist and the doctor. Those are the three that would force me to leave the house from time to time. There are undoubtedly other examples for other people.

Go when the shop is quiet such as in the evening. Most doctors surgeries wil allow you wait in your car until it's your turn to see them.

Really?! So we should all just pack it in so and go on the dole?

Bojo coming out saying the restrictions just announced will likely last 6 months!
That's terrible for them but hopefully it works.

Icu will be at capacity within 2 weeks.
No deal forthcoming with private hospitals, are the Govt starting the poor mouth today in the lead up to the eventual bail out by private hospitals?

I found it hard to find this icu capacity information last week but in the last 24hrs it's everywhere.
In the 20s in terms of free beds at the moment. Won't be long till level 5.

96fm radio in Cork just reported a care home outbreak in Montenotte and at least 1 case in Penneys, Wilton

I heard an interview on the radio about a month ago and the HSE have a deal with the private hospitals
They will take over the hospitals again if the need capacity

These same restrictions have been in place for almost 3 months in Leicester and have made little difference.
The two chief expert advisers were wheeled out yesterday to scare the bejasus out of the population so that the announcement today wouldn’t seem too onerous.
There was one sinister hint that the military could be used to “help the police”. Things are getting serious over there.

Now that's real leadership. Being honest with people and let them be adults is half the battle.

The “new” UK guidelines look exactly like ours, except they’re about 3 months late

I had forecast ICU's to be full by mid October. If it's two weeks time we really face a catastrophe situation

Really, this is a ridiculous argument.

Why should ordinary people doing their best to get on with their lives be the ones to suffer because a few jinits who watched too many Youtube videos think they know better than the entire world's health professionals.

Get a grip.

Every country in Europe bar Sweden will be doing the same for the next 6 months.

Exactly. People think x number in ICU seems small. But they forget that ICU has to deal with other illnesses as well.

It's a full lockdown from Oct to March coming up.

They were playing hard ball at that stage, can't find and details about a definite agreement.
Think they are in a panic now as they are going to be at a stage where its needed overnight and they dont have an arrangement.

Cork is still near the bottom of the charts despite a few big days. A few more though and it might look different. I think it’s inevitable that most places will lockdown again thought tbh.

You think the whole country is going to Level 5? Or do you mean Level 3?

Call me Al

Has the HSE released information on the age profile of those currently being hospitalised/in ICU?
