Hopefully! I'm not in the business of predicting the future but I'm smart enough to figure out the people who know what they are talking about. None of them are on boards.

seems like half our "clusters" are in either hospitals or nursing homes.

If for example the Government were to tell us that there were clusters in Howth or Donnybrook or Dun Laoghaire etc would people stay away from these areas I wonder.

Would you stay away from a supermarket close to a hospital?

Well we could start with this which was being taken as fact at one point

https://www.businesspost.ie/health/irish-health-authorities-predict-19m-people-will-fall-ill-with-coronavirus-701e4838

Note they have 50% of those cases being in the following 3 weeks. Which have past and we are still a little shy of 950,000 cases.

And the headline is a lie. Health authorities never predicted that. They said it was a worst case but it was run with anyway. Similar for the 15k by the end of the month

Not sure if posted earlier.

Fauci and Birx used Modelling to show Trump that best case scenario is 100,000+ deaths even with Social Distancing. Worst case 2 million going by ladt nights CNN briefing.

This made him change his mind on opening Country by Easter.

My own dad insists on going for a walk every second day . Waits till there is no one around and does a lap of the green area right outside the house,
Iv begged him to stay in but he insist he needs his walk, and wears masks and gloves while he does it,

He's 73 and no underlying condition and I pray to god it doesn't become a case of me wondering was there more I could have done to stop him

A lap of the green alone, with good handwashing before and after should represent no major risk, its socialising and close contact with people that has been rightly identified as risky, especially for those with underlying conditions.

There's an app on the way, apparently in the next 10 days or so, based on what they used in Singapore.

Which makes perfect sense given that the only “clustered accommodation” in the state are hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, boarding schools and the like. Most of us live in separate family units...

Yes exactly. It's why I've always been saying we would never be the same as Italy or Spain. Our urban sprawl and rural one of house make sure of that. A quarter of all cases are healthcare workers. We would do pretty well in comparison to other countries even if we just had the social distancing measures announce originally. I think we could go back to opening coffee shops and
clothes stores etc just maintain limits on people inside as the numbers we are seeing today are an effect of those measures an prove that they probably went far enough.

Yet you said this earlier:

July? These restrictions will be relaxed in May and antibody testing will start in April. People will have to go back to work much sooner than July or all the businesses that are closed now will be closed forever. That’s the last I heard from our government anyway. I’m going on holidays in July.

What a daft question. How would it make any difference as to whether you would get the virus or not?

This made him change his mind on Quarantining New York

I am not sure he has the power quarantine New York which may have been his issue there. He could ask neighbouring states and ask New Yorkers not to leave but that would have been it I think.

Worrying times ahead. They had a good day in terms of deaths yesterday. From 550 to just over 200. Hopefully that continues (still sad for those 200 families).

We are at these low numbers because everything is closed. I don't think we should be complacent now.

It makes a difference as to severity of the illness.

Apologies, I edited my post since. It made him change his mind on opening up the country before Easter.

It would make a difference with how capable you are to fight the virus,

People who smoke lungs are not as strong and that's where the virus kills you,

Strangely enough vaping mite be harder on your lungs than smoke ( not cause cancer but damage them)

Having good lung capacity could safe your life if you get COVID19,

Smoking is going to effect how seriously you get the disease as you have lung damage already.

This doesn't mean that non smokers shouldn't be careful but it has come to be another way people can rationalise in their head that they have nothing to worry about.
