    Glad it’s only 3 but in reality 3 is very hard to believe at this stage.

    Three new cases, all "Local Transmission" as the HSE puts it. Doesn't say where yet.

    A lot better than I feared - hopefully we can keep our figures low - will be difficult

    I find it virtually impossible to believe the same virus that has infected thousands in the space of a couple of days in Italy and Spain has racked up less than ten here. Impossible.

    You said mild cases can be left with lung damage, once it hits the lungs you are no longer mild.

    Not true.
    Children who had very mild symptoms were scanned and lesions were seen. That's how they knew the kids had it (before the tests were developed).
    They make the point to keep an eye on it going forward in after care as lesions maybe likely in kidneys and testes as well.

    Previously linked in one of my previous posts to the med article, if you want the source dig back through them. though that was over a month ago, and I havent seen any more recent updates.

    Well the "official" figures will always be low anyway.

    There's a lot of "only old people will die so you'll be fine! :)" floating about even from statistics type people, which is disgusting. How easily they forget their parents and grandparents.

    Stats are stats. There are no emotions in statistics. Presenting stats does not mean old people are expendible.

    Is there an up to date list somewhere with the details of all our current cases? Sex location and transmission?

    It's the default for Irish people to whinge about the way things are done here but I don't see evidence that the HSE is doing a bad job overall. Any worse than any other country at least. Imagine the stressful nightmare that it is for healthcare workers.

    Sadly I think Vlad checked out weeks ago. He can only think what socks he will wear to the White House, and then what life together with Matt might be in another country. Sorry if that sounds offensive, but that's what I am getting.

    So the new TS is Harris. I know he is MFH but haven't heard a word from Coveney, has anyone else?

    The tragedy of all this is, there is no elected Government, only those carrying on in the interregnum. Can't blame them for not having full on control either. Although they are trying.

    SF have been kind of silent too as have FF in all this. Running for cover I suspect and delighted they don't have to deal with it. I am noting this attitude for the future.

    Can somebody explain wave2 in November thing?
    This WuFlu can become seasonal (annual) and mutate slightly with time, Inf A/B, even Swineflu is still making the rounds each year, in many countries.

    Our summer is flu season down in the Southern Hemisphere, so it may loiter (mutate) down in Aussieland, then come back up here again for Winter.

    Vax not on cards until approx March 2021.

    // Take a look at the Spanish Flu 1918, it was Wave2 that did all the damage.

    No GDPR/privacy/data protection

    We have lots of elderly people.

    If you have symptoms you get your infected ass away from everybody else and do not spread it.

    You only care about yourself is that it?

    No I responded to your claims that society would break down, do you not think it would be better for the vulnerable to be isolated and the fit and able try to keep society going to provide for them.

    It's confirmed cases not the number of people with the virus. Two completely different figures.

    3 weeks of intubation and ventilation is scary though. Undoubtedly he'd be dead without such intensive care.

    Coronavirus death toll in Italy rises by 100 for second day in a row, jumps from 366 to 463

    https://www.rt.com/news/482676-italy-death-toll-jumps-coronavirus/

    Italy is in full on meltdown, tanks in the street, riots in 27 prisons.


    Tanks in the street were for a NATO scheduled training exercise...
    "the largest deployment of U.S.-based forces to Europe for an exercise in the more than 25 years."

    But I never said anything against the stats being presented. I'm talking about the sentiment in the posts that accompany them.

    I mean a list of all the cases they have announced so far, they've given those basic details for each. Also that was proven to be a lie, theres no data issues around this info.

    At 24 cases, we have the same number of cases per capita as the UK, 4.8 per million population

    It's a lot of resources that are required.
