I was and others were accused of scaremongering.
Not believing the HSE false narrative we were accused of being conspiracy nuts.


Here we go.

Taoiseach says that "easily" 50-60% of the country could contract #COVID19.

He says "we'll have to cope as best as possible" but that a health service twice the size of ours would struggle.

"If the worst case comes true, this will be unlike anything the world has seen."

5% in Italy. No point in looking at individual countries.

The reason I chose South Korea as reliable , is they are doing the most random testing , of people not sick - For many people under 40 (not me ) will get the virus , but will be pretty much symptom free , sore throat/ cough etc - This will hugely reduce the mortality rate of virus , rather than fear inducing higher figures such as 6.5 etc.

Sick pay of €305 a week from day 1 of illness including the self employed will be a relief to many.

So the government is taking some reasonable steps here. I wonder whether the crowd saying Leo is weak, is a muppet, shouldn't be let back into the country etc, will be in to withdraw their posts before or after armageddon?

I would imagine that any decision taken today will have had to have been through all parties hands as any party that comes into government will have to have agreed and this is likely what will have delayed things.

That does not sound like any flu or runny nose to me.

China's numbers are like in all honestly probably fake. The party cannot lose face.

Chinas numbers are fake.

They were only the people who died in state hospitals
Any deaths at home were not recorded officially as corona virus deaths.

As for italy, they have a massive chinese population working in textiles so theres a big link to China there that other countries dont have. At least 320,000 but that doesnt include anyone working and staying illegally.

600 is the maximum awarded (some get extra).

Medicine is also in demand, and there's a finite amount of resources to teach it.

There are different routes too as well. Longer, but different. A biology degree can then lead into medicine if a student was determined enough.

You can get into graduate medicine with any level 8 degree. Probably hpat type exam maybe interview, but first degree does not have to be science related. Bit off topic..

Greece, Denmark and Australia all close to 100 cases now. Denmark had 35 just a day ago

Always best to link to a primary source or even better a video interview, if available. I could amend the colored text and add "did not" and the whole ocntext has changed.

Yep. Minimum 2.1 honours degree with GAMSAT exam deciding the entry.

A very good decision. Would be nice to see employers who dont currently offer sick pay (such as my own overlords) pick up the slack or at least some of it to keep people close to their normal wages for the 2-3 weeks. It's not like most are going to be out for 6 weeks or more.

I have a chest infection and took today off but was planning on going back in tomorrow. Would I be entitled to this now or will have to wait until the legislation has passed etc. ie. will it be retrospective? (Probably too early to ask this but it is relevant to my decisions now)

No it absolutely does not. You continue to assume every infected person in the world has been tested and found. There are likely many many people with mild symptoms who recover without ever being tested.

I'm looking at certified confirmed resolved cases
You can't assume undetected cases, nobody knows if there are really that many, some may develop critical symptoms weeks later

I'd hope the so called preppers read this and feel ashamed of themselves but I know there's no chance of any self reflection. To the panic is good crowd, this is the results of people panicking without good reason and stockpiling goods that other people need more than you do.

Exactly, healthy people don’t need to stockpile.
The vulnerable need every chance and they have genuine need to stockpile, but it’s insane to think healthy people have being stockpiling goods that may be required elsewhere.

Feels like something's finally being done today, which is good. Initiative is lost, but at least it feels like somebody woke up.

We'll have to wait until the bill is published before we know. I'd be surprised if it will be retrospective.

Your post makes no sense.
1) preppers stocked up months ago. They are not the people emptying the shelves now.

2) Those worried parents are worried for a reason, the virus is here now and they are trying to protect their immunosuppressed kids. If they had been listening to the preppers they would not have to panic buy now.

3) It is the people who have been trying to ostrich this situation. Who saw what was happening in China and said it wouldn't happen here. Who couldn't look at
Another country/continent and realise that was likely going to happen here. The people who scoffed, ridiculed and policed the people trying to warn and prepare for the last 6 weeks.

Those are the people who should be ashamed.

At the risk of being told to stock up on tin foil, this is what we're in for in two weeks time.

This is reassuring. Mild cases creeping ever higher. Was 80% at one point.
