Why would they wear masks walking home from school

I'm not saying they should.

But I would say there'll be a few cases from them chatting to each other for over 20 minutes or so. Not all were walking home of course, some were hanging around.

Case numbers will likely go up as a result amongst school going ages and then slightly up in their parents' age groups.

Will give the lockdown crowd on here and in NPHET something to get them hard/wet.

Sharp increase in new cases in Germany.

Initially it was the 9 largest cities last week but today it was increased to cover 75% of the population.

Painting a picture of an inept response really.

The point about counting every positive test regardless of symptoms as a case was an interesting one..

What I don't understand is, governments literally all over the world who are advised by experts, are completely inept and managing the situation terribly, but somehow 4 lads on prime time have it all figured out and would do better?

I didn't really see his point, if you test positive, you have Covid, therefore you're a case. What's the point of arguing about symptomatic Vs asymptomatic? Both have the virus, and both spread the virus

There's no point in putting it all on black thinking we will be grand when the vaccine comes, it may never come in which case we will be completely bankrupt with the virus still spreading with us not having enough money to treat anyone. Look at Aids, still no vaccine.

The point is that we can generally carry all sorts of viruses and not be symptomatic. That's a reality.

I didn't see four lads with anything figured out for what it's worth. I didn't see much in the way of workable plans other than just getting on it.

There's no vaccine until there's a vaccine.

If anyone doesn't understand that, we need to plan to get on with our lives without a vaccine. We need a plan that will get us back to as much normality as possible. The death rate relating to covid is tiny. I don't think anyone expects everything to get to normal tomorrow, but we need to get people back to work, we need to make sure entrepreneurs can keep going with their adventures, and we need people back spending and accessing life saving services as they previously did-or even better than before.

If a vaccine comes along, then great.

But look back at all the cancer and HIV research over the decades. And we're still here with those problems.

And don't recall lockdowns when they started.

Shocking that there appears to be not a single plan in place if a nursing home had a mass breakout of Covid amongst staff, this is 8 months after it all kicked off.

Watching Prime Time, and there is always a charlatan on as a guest pulling stats from his hole.
The average age of death from Covid19 in Ireland is mid 80's. Wrong.
Only a handful of people have died in Ireland under 65. Wrong.
Flu kills more people than Covid19. Wrong. Covid19 kills over ten times more people.

I haven't watched RTE news or current affairs for about two years now, and am all the better for it. You can get the headline news from many other sources. Forget the drama, fake news, so called experts, terrifying the lot of us they are. Feck them.

why would you need a vaccine against AIDs? The chances of contracting it are Tiny. Hardly a Valid comparison.

Terrifying alright, but not surprising. Hope they get a plan in place when hospital and care staff are out on the 14 day self isolation. Could you imagine skeleton staff in hospitals if there is an outbreak amongst staff, and add in flu.

This is just ridiculous, and someone should be put up against a wall for the lack of forward planning. But I suppose the 50million Senior Managers in the HSE couldn't agree or just thought, feck it, be grand. Back to your clipboards.

As we all know the HSE is accountable to no one. And it shows.

What is the average age of death actually, it can't be far off 80, the median age is late 80s.

Not that nobody cares, just the situation isn’t evolving all that much...

No news or updates on vaccines, the only thing that’s happening is a return to lockdown as numbers dis improve. Rinse, repeat.

I can guarantee that your mental health will radically improve if you stop watching RTE. You can easily catch up on the news online without the need to watch the purveyors of doom at RTE.
Life is too short to spend it hooked watching and listening to the constant stream of negativity from our national broadcaster. They are doing our country a major disservice.

I was a teenager in the 80s . I can't recall much of a panic, I suppose it's a bit like my children now who don't think this is much of a deal either.;)

Tip:- Stop watching/listening.You can get all you need to know on your phone/computer.
Why people feel the need to be watching/listening to it 18hrs a day is beyond me.
It's just the same old sh!t regurgitated day after day 7 days a week.
You'll feel better for it

Yeah, only 36 million active HIV infections last year and 1 million deaths, nothing like the current sars-cov-2 numbers.

There was ads all over TV, they were saying you could get it from a toilet seat or from shaking someones hand. It's to a degree a lot like the waffle going on about Covid, not a single case documented of anyone getting the virus from shopping in a supermarket yet the media have people feeling like they are walking around in the core of Chernobyl when they pop out to buy a few groceries.

The mean age is 81, and the IFR for those under 65 is circa 0.3% and that's based on confirmed cases so it would of course be much lower.

Poster was correct on the point regarding Covid fatality being higher than flu, but could not call someone a charlatan for pointing out deaths are primarily in those above 80 and that there have been very few deaths in those under 65 relative to the number of cases.

"Handful" was obviously not meant to be taken literally.

Thats because there wasn't, certainly not in the mainstream media and definitely not over here, Freddie Mercury for example insisted he had the flu!. It took a long time for AIDs to be reported on or to be addressed on television, meanwhile it had been quietly decimating the gay community in many countries.

There are really only two to three behaviors that will enable you to get aids.

695 people were diagnosed with AIDS in 1983-1999 in Ireland. Compare that with the 54,476 people that have been diagnosed with covid in just over 7 months in Ireland.

Not to bothered by the rules this time. They don’t apply to our elected officials so it’s a “nah yer grand” from me this time. Seems the rules don’t apply if yer attending a funeral of, what was it, someone you greatly respected. Golf for others etc.
