    ahhh Nope. 99.4% are recovered from it. I have an overactive immune system so it is not a problem. There is no 10% fatality in the population as predicted

    So what is it about your ‘overactive immune system’ - whatever that is - that protects you from SARS-COV-2 and stops you from developing the virus.

    Between that and your clearly immense intellect they’ll be studying you for years.

    Does having a pre existing condition make someone expendable? Shoulld we let all diabetics die, asthmatics, people with a heart condition? Not worth the inconvenience, eh?

    Do you have to actually experience something for it to become real to you? Not great on the old abstract reasoning, are you?

    So I will take it as "No"? But 10% of the population was supposed to die. Arent you asking questions?
    If you have a weakened immune system that would explain why you are more susceptible. Yes you should be seeing results and if not you should be asking questions.

    There are no healthy people dying if anything the death rate is down on the same period on this time last year.

    Its just the flu is all. My over active immune system is no blessing. It has its moments.

    Would you say you have 100 numbers on your mobile phone? have you deleted one of those numbers due to COVID? Then you should be asking your self questions. Did you see Phil Hogan? Been a public representative at home for over 30 years. Not a bit of fear on him heading into the Lions den in Kildare to play golf with his buddies. What do you think he knew and all his Dail golf buddies knew that you didnt?

    That is the same amount of people who die from a normal flu. It will sweep the elderly with 2 and 3 pre conditions and youths with immune deficiencies the same as in Italy.

    I believe you've picked wrong school, or wrong way of education altogether.

    Where on earth did you pick this up from? I've been following commentary on this site since the start and I've never seen such a claim made before you started doing so in this thread

    Yeah its been around. I thinking about opening a water cremation cemetery at the start. Could digest a body in two hours and have them running 24/7 doing 12 bodies a day.

    I know Glasnevin is always busy and the grave yard is close to full. Most of the body reverts back to water and chemicals and minimal amount to dispose of.

    Great. That's why I said you've picked wrong school. All you need is few (small) plastic bags and you fully set up.

    I suggest you read the article. It does not suggest "10% of the population will die"

    Yeah I was thinking about saving costs and you wouldnt need a coffin, just a shroud. Its amazing how fast a body breaks down with washing soda, warm water and an electrical charge.

    No it doesnt but based on the Pie chart from John Hopkins University. Nearly 17% in Belgium and 1% in Russia, 10% would be about average. This is why I am so skeptical about the whole thing.

    No there is a woman in Meath doing it but I think she has only one chamber I was thinking of having 12 chamber allowing 144 bodies a day.

    17% of Belgians have not died from this. It currently stands at less than 0.1% of the population (and Russia at less than 0.02%)

    No. Do you know anyone who has actually died of covid without a preexisting condition?

    I know one person who died of covid. He had mild asthma, was fairly healthy and in his 30s. Not all pre-existing conditions mean your in danger of dieing tomorrow. He was asthmatic since childhood and played sport etc, nothing you would be overly concerned about but yet contracted Covid and left behind a lot of people who cared.

    Its one thing continuing your life as normal as possible, thats absolutely your choice however there is nothing stopping you doing a bit to help stop the spread by taking very simple steps that will help contact tracing in the event you or others in your class become infected

    No it's not what you have been saying. You have been making outlandish claims about numbers to simply try and justify your own position. Your claims are very clearly false. No-one ever said that 10% of the population would die

    Just one? ok. But he had asthma? Asthma can be very serious. I had a childhood friend who died from it. It is nothing to be taken lightly.

    Tell that to my friend who is currently recovering from it and who would have likely gone into cardiac arrest had they not made it to A&E in time. Can't say I've ever heard of the flu causing heart attacks.

    Spanish Flu is estimated to have killed 0.95% of the world population

    Again you are exaggerating the real situation (well actually I suspect you are simply plucking figures out of the air) to try and justify your own position

    Anyway back to the topic - I am delighted Maynooth are thinking of the wider population and sharing this information appropriately

    I never said the flu wasnt dangerous. If your immune system is down and you get it for what ever reason it is dangerous. read it again. But this covid is widespread and killing 10% of the population, that is nonsense.

    The Spanish flu has to be seen in the context of the first world war and its aftermath. You had men on the front with lice, malnourished, shell shocked, in damp and water logged trenches filled with Rats. No wonder it was so contagious and their immune systems were down. Plus you had major food shortage in Europe and afterwards in Russia.

    Just got this email this morning from Maynooth University. They want to just share details with the HSE.


    "I wish to let you know that Maynooth University may share your contact details (name, telephone number, email address) with the HSE to support the contact tracing work of the public health authorities.

    The University will only share this data in order to assist the public health authorities with contacting students or staff who may have been in close contact with a person who has tested positive for Covid-19. You can be assured that only these limited contact details will be shared and solely to comply with public health requirements. Your student ID number or other personal identifying data will not be shared.

    The University has developed the MU Check-in App, which you are encouraged to download and use (available from Google Play Store and Apple Store). This App allows you to scan the QR code for the seat you occupy in each teaching venue so that your location is noted. The location data and the contact details will be used to help the University support the work of the HSE public health teams who may contact you if necessary. I wish to assure you that the University will not use any data collected by the App for any other purpose."

    They dont monitor microchipped dogs this way!! Where are GPRD rules?

    Eminently sensible email outlining an eminently sensible course of action and a great and innovative use of technology. And great to see the university taking their GDPR responsibilities so seriously.

    Sounds like you picked the perfect school to help you grow up.
