It's just about one of the most infectious diseases we have ever known, and so very serious in that it at minimum incapacitates those who actually become ill from them for a fair while and thus renders them unable to work & contribute to the economy or work in healthcare; also it is deadly for a smaller number of people who could have up to 10 or more years of decent life left in them and would not have otherwise succumbed from influenza or other maladies their creaking bodies might have otherwise sustained.

It's a focking horrible virus that has us by the balls one way or another, until we hopefully get a viable effective treatment or vaccine or both. It will diminish the economy no matter what tack we take, but we really should try as best as possible to keep down deaths as all lives are precious. Generating philosophy to reinforce and educate our mental resilience by genuine folk of experience and wisdom, and some bloody light relief and entertainment to boot, is the best that could be done for us all to help us through.

Will the retired Brigadier get a Thank you for your service?

Great allowances, temporary promotion , so I elect to go for the Golan Heights. F the local plebs. Money talks.

The word PRIVATE is the key Joe.

All the same, the internal procedures for any barrier nursing in the home, were obviously slacking.

Add godspeed to the bing card please

Just a question .. but what protective measures were in place in the nursing home.?
Does seem strange that everyone seems to have got it

3pm, Jag's waiting.
I'm Joe, and I'm not slow.

Jaysus I'm crying after all this... and I actually have an autoimmune inflammation of the lacrimal glands (kind of related to a bit of inflammatory arthritis) which is making it physically painful over the eye orbits. It is bloody woeful, but 100 tines more for people actually directly involved in working in these places and having family there. I count my blessings of not having that worry myself.

So he is reading out reviews of nursing homes to finish up...thrilling stuff

I am far from a germophobe but there is one thing that grosses me out about Covid and, like in that nursing home, is the last person to get infected has gotten a virus that has potentially passed through 25 other people first.

Yuck!

Mena Mitty

"Siad one resident, it's a lovely place to visit".

He's hardly a resident if he visits.

More like "It's a lovely nursing home. Hardly any beatings".

The family have asked for privacy at this time. Then RTE lead the news with the story.

The very air we breath has passed through dozens of other lungs. We are all de facto quite physically intimate we each other whether we like it or not.

I know dat, I know dat.

But the virus doesn't travel in the air so to speak. It travels in droplets from other people.

Yes Ray, meditate on Death, that's what we are being given by RTÉ nonstop.

I got through most of the pandemic by avoiding RTE as much as possible, following what was required and it wasn't so bad.
RTE I think do try and depress people, they tell us how we should be feeling.

I am continually in awe of your doctor speak. You have more medical knowledge than my G.P. I’m only guessing that bit.

Anyway stay safe, stay pain free.

I described earlier in the week how a friend who works in a hospital told me that 8 front line wurkers are sitting at home for 14 days "isolating" cos of a mummy and daddy to be with the covid (and said nothing about having the covid symptoms).

Another win for Joe.

I said it then and I’ll say it again now - that couple should be prosecuted.

It dates from when I was brought into see an uncle, when I was aged 4, in St Lukes who was dying of prostate cancer. Being upset to see him so in that state I ask a hundred questions and wanted to know facts as to how and why, and what could have saved him, why he was moaning in pain. It broke my heart seeing him and I could only rationalise my feelings with full scientific explanations and learned woulda like cobalt, chemotherapy, radiotherapy before almost anything else. Other relatives criticised my mother for dragging me in to see dying relatives at a very early age, and my current knowledge is a direct result of that. However there was nobody who offered to mind me when my mother visited him, it's a long story, but her siblings were living far away and the dying man's wife herself in hospital with a strangulated hernia. It made a HUGE impression on me. The man died a week later.

Was there gold today?

High profile story of a nursing home in trouble, having been struck down with C19. HSE left them short of help apparently.

With the money these places are making and the pittance they pay, the owners of any that isn't non-profit surely have a case to answer in such circumstances.

(I didn't hear the show put it was played out on Drivetime earlier this evening-a very upset Director of Nursing, who was and is in an awful state, the least of the poor woman's worries was the fact that she herself is Covid positive.)

Thank you so much. I hadn’t heard it, so it was great to have the chance without having to wade through industrial size pools of shoyte in the Player to get to it.

What a major piece of work is Joe!

BTW, excellent production values, do you want a job in RTE? You could single handedly raise the bar!!

I knew of a nursing home owner, a dodgy character who certainly failed to do the best for his own lovely decent mother when she developed Alzheimer's. Decades ago, I don't think it is in operation any more. There have been absolutely horrible abusive people who have owned them in the past before there was any kind of inspection or regulation.

I saw pictures of the said "private" nursing home in Galway.

That's a 'private' nursing home? My mother is in a public one in Galway and it looks way better than that. I bet if I shared pictures of both here, most people would assume the public was the private one and vice versa.
