    God Brazil is such a mess right now.


    How on earth did it get to them though? Makes no sense

    It isn't airborne.

    It doesn't survive on surfaces
    Kills old and ill, but really only kills the old.
    All of society stops even tho all cases are in one area.
    Countrys have reopened, yet the Irish must remain at home.
    Italy reoped. Denmark and a few others too with no spread.
    No epidemic amoung front line retail workers reported.
    Numbers in Sweden.. So much worse without intervention?
    McDonald's open, yet cancer screening stopped
    Then there is the coroner's input into deaths or the lack of.


    96.5% of covid 19 deaths were 60 or older. In Italy.

    Why is a whole nation locked up and routinely fed fear. It doesn't take the need for a cmo to see a strategy from the stats.

    Haven't big street parties been happening in council estates for a few weeks now, lots of kids don't social distance. Taking a very long time for the penny to drop.

    So much wrong there that I can’t be bothered anymore. And you didn’t actually address what I posted, just ranted.

    Oh, and I agreed with the need for lockdown and think we are opening up too slowly now

    Given the last few years in Brazil, it wouldn't surprise me if it is intentional.

    What should we do with the clown who didn't listen to anybody?

    We take one isolated incident, and magnify it. The stats try debate me on that.

    Makes no sense 99% of people in Wuhan never got it , yet it ends up 1000 of miles into a jungle.

    That's a number that a lot people forget about each time 10+ deaths are announced each day. 90 other people are dying each day if other illnesses.

    We could do with a General Death forum really.

    Edit; sounds like someone from the US army roaming around Afghanistan.

    Honestly wouldn't be surprised either if it was intentional , I'm sure their land is very valuable. I don't see how it could accidentally get to so many tribes

    I just gave you one example off the top of my head that I know about. I've seen many people doing things they shouldn't but I don't know if anything happened because of those things.
    I'm not out hunting for stories about what's going on.
    Fact of the matter is he wasn't the only person who went to Cheltenham and didn't self-isolate when they came back. There could be hundreds of those stories and we'll never know about a lot of them because the carrier was asymptomatic.
    I'm not interested in a debate with somebody who only has one agenda which is to put everybody back out on the street. You fire ahead and do your thing, I'll be going nowhere until I feel it's safe to and neither will my wife or kids. We'll homeschool until this thing is gone.
    I'm happy to watch from the sidelines and ensure my family stays safe.

    Did this actually happen or is it a hypothetical

    That, and there are very few areas of the Amazon that haven't been penetrated by logging companies at this stage.

    96.5% were 60 years or older.. Let that sink in.

    13.5 percent fatality rate.

    This virus is not the problem, poverty and crime will be.

    I've heard stories of people at that meat factory putting their heads in ice buckets to fake temperature tests down there.

    “Nah boss, it’s grand. None of them are over 37. I took all their temperatures and they’re all between 2 and 6 degrees.”

    Are you for real?

    Does being over 60 negate the value of a life in your book?
    Have you seen the impact this virus has had on younger patients?

    Thankfully people in the real world have compassion and a degree of decency coupled with respect.

    The people who missed screenings. I care about them.The impact any serious illness has on a young person is trajic. But it isn't a black and white choice. The numbers from the hardest hit areas point towards anither plan.
    The the 96.5 percent were 60 to end of life age could they along be temporarily segregated.
    Didn't one Nordic country take all notes from the cases in Italy and structure the outcome?

    How you ignore the numbers and then try guilt me?

    What do you think of my plan? What is so wrong with segregating old and weak in response to available data?

    I would worry about an economy being closed for a day let alone multiple months.

    That's doesn't deserve a reply. But as a 62 year old I find your line lf logic deeply flawed and extremely self-serving.
    As I said, thankfully you don't represent our society as a whole.

    Good luck.

    What is the story with Cork new cases were down to single digits over a month ago now averaging 11 new cases over last 7 days? Not really seeing any improvement.

    Meat factory in North Cork and at least one nursing home in West Cork

    Cork still in bottom 10 in cases per 100,000

    It does deserve a reply. The risk of catching and passing from this virus v everyone loosing their jobs, lively hoods and all else that goes wrong.

    Reason with me how you think it's OK for the entire workforce to halt given over 96 percent of the illness effects those 60 or over.

    I am not throwing anyone to the dogs, it would have been cheaper to give all those 60 or over early retirement.

    Is that supposed to shock us or something? I think everyone knows it almost exclusively affects the older age group, most people have a problem with the fact it is killing this demographic in such large number in affected areas.

    Is it my imagination or do i detect a noticeable evaporation of the ultra cautious slowly goes posters over the last few days.Apart from the few locked up at home,home schooling, Armageddon types until they perceive its safe,whenever that is,is anyones guess. I think that their is a new realisation that we really need to speed relaxations up.

    If numbers keep falling and deaths staying low or none at all I don't think anyone will be able to stop businesses reopening
    Just as long everyone knows it could blow up again and restrictions may need to come back in - next week will be the tell on whats happening out there as far as the virus is concerned

    I would have expected you to at least acknowledge the statistic. But you won't.
    Nobody want to die, we can all have a problem with it effecting that age group but we can also work around it. We haven't done that and now we will face some interesting times ahead

    I am acknowledgeing, I just don't think that a large number of people in their 60's and 70's dying is in any way okay or something we should just ignore and get on with, especially people in their 60's, that's just out of middle age, I don't consider it old at all in 2020.

    I know we need to find a way around this but I just took issue with your phrasing , 'just let that sink in', it implies that you think people are being hysterical over something irrational, and that we shouldn't be reacting this way as it is only old people dying.

    You dont believe you can influence a virus through better hygiene, distancing and the elimination of the majority of person to person interactions? How do you actually think a virus is spread?

    5G apparently or something the Q group told them.
