    I think you did a good job of that yourself.

    And any chance anyone has a graph showing ages/co morbidities for Italian casualties?

    Reported earlier, flu like symptoms.

    Could be just that though of course.

    Fantasy is believing a health care system that consistently ranks as one of the worst performing in Europe during normal operation will suddenly become an efficient, effective system during a pandemic.

    Go visit a and e on a regular night or better yet the weekend for a taste

    That's grand and everything but why are you quoting me?

    I was calling your man's post pathetic as it directed his anger in the wrong place. I.E. the front line staff. He was called out on it by Beasty or was that wrong.

    I don’t see myself as reassuring you that we can handle Coronavirus. I am simply objecting reality into this discussion.

    I’m saying that we will have fewer deaths per 100 infected people than America in my estimation. That’s very different than cheerleading the HSE.

    Yes you are correct. Once ventilators run out there will be a large spike in deaths. More people will die than many believe.

    What you and others are doing is extrapolating our from things I say and then saying I’m implying etc other things. I am simply saying what I’m saying. I’m not cheerleading or doing PR. I’m trying to be reasonable and factual.

    So let’s be clear. It will spread, people will die and when the ventilators run out lots of people will die very rapidly. Probably more than most imagine. I trust this makes my lack of cheerleading clear.

    How many ventilators do we have in Ireland would you know?
    (Just curious though maybe I don't want to know...)
    Someone here mentioned 12 before and I really really hope they are way wrong.
    Bruce Aylward mentioned they had 40-50 in one hospital in Wuhan.

    It doesn't help that the press is talking about a member of google staff with flu like sysptoms.

    Religious nutters, an evangelist group is behind one of the clusters in Spain too - these f*cking c*nts are dangerous - they believe it's all God's plan, so they will either get it/not get it / die/not die anyway.




    The hazards of belief!

    This country continues to allow the education system, and some hospitals, to be run by a religion. I don't subscribe to that religion myself but I think two of the words you used would be of use in this context.

    Potential case being one employee out of 8,000 displaying flu-like symptoms. To the untrained this could well appear to be something like....


    ...flu
    whad'yrekon?

    Interesting link but not reassured that we score badly on treating lower respiratory infections, in the current circumstances...

    Their disaster relief agency, FEMA, is well prepared, with their arsenal of AR-15s and enough ammunition to kill everyone in the US 3 times over (at least).

    The Indo headlines are a bit hysteria inducing !

    The public needs facts and calmness not hysteria

    Huh?
    Automakers are scrambling to find parts and prevent shortages in their supply chains as the spread of the coronavirus rattles markets and threatens to roil manufacturing processes globally.

    How about this one then? 19th in the world. Quick glance shows ~10 EU members ahead of us. Not bad for a healthcare system that "consistently ranks as one of the worst performing in Europe".

    Many of the papers have.
    They even forced Mary Lou to make a statment since her kids go to that school. They were going to mention her in an article so she made a statment first.

    Given the name of the school is now in the public domain, if it's put to them at a press conference they should confirm it.

    People working outside of Google who went for meetings and stuff being contacted via their own organisations.

    Just precautionary from organisations given the reach Google has.
