    Theres definitely going to be an African element in all of this, someone mentioned Egypt being the cause of some tourists getting invected.

    African elephant in the room as it were

    This guy has the virus too. Can't discount his story.

    For every person who is ill in ICU, there are many more who have the virus and are not bad.

    We can't let the media scare stories lead the agenda.

    We can't let the media's stories about reality lead the agenda.

    How about a segment on the six one about some lucky trader who's making a killing off gouging fake masks and hand sanitizer.

    So many feel good moments being buried by the negativity.

    Somebody suggested in Part V that RTE replace the Angelus @6pm with the daily Covid figures!

    Currently we stand @34 cases, wiith the UK on 373 confirmed Covid-19 cases.

    What? Sure he's probably not sick?

    The chances of catching it are slim enough. He's right to go to work unless he is showing symptoms.

    You're always a year behind. You can transfer the virus for at least 24 hours showing no symptoms.

    Are you playing up to the image of the muck savage?

    Some real heads in the sand on this thread.

    In UCHG there are only 10 icu beds.

    If 200 people get infected in Galway 5% of those will need critical care and boom! just like that there is no more icu beds.
    There are now 50 cases on the Island.


    But sure lets wait and see! It will be grand!


    WAKE THE **** UP FFS!

    And it's not like all the ICU beds are just lying idle...people are regularly stuck in regional hospitals waiting for these beds to become free!

    Realistically, the virus was just a news piece up to a few weeks ago. Most people have to get on with their lives, grinding to a halt while the rest of the world moves outside is not in our nature. Unless the moment comes where we are given clear warnings then I don’t begrudge people. There should have been a pledge with Varadkar addressing the nation for people to not go to Cheltenam or go to work if the situation is that serious.

    "spoke to the family of four who are in self-isolation at home following one member, the father/husband, being in contact with a confirmed case of the virus last week.

    The man, who is a member of the gardaí, was instructed by his workplace to self-isolate after coming into contact with a later-confirmed case of the virus last Tuesday, March 2."

    Garda info are giving wrong information.

    That's not like them at all :)

    Right - so I was on here a week ago saying flights should have been cancelled to and from northern Italy weeks ago.
    But the science experts advising the government said nah tis grand.
    Now all our cases are linked directly or indirectly to travel to Italy. 34 cases and growing, more today, tomorrow and the day after.

    Whose the genius here?

    That's not to mention HSE advice on their website that you didn't need to isolate once you returned from northern Italy, you can continue your normal routine including going to work. You call that expert scientific advice?

    The difference here which you fail to understand is I follow and advocate best practice - the Chinese model. Our government follow worst international practice.

    You don't have to be a scientific genius to recognise this.

    Basic cop on is what is required - badly missing in our government who are clueless.

    In summary I advocate following the successful Chinese model. You are still clinging to the failed Italian model which they were forced to abandon because it didn't work. Our government also continue to follow the failed Italian model. We all know how that ended up. Disaster.

    So no actual suggestions relating to the few issues that I came up with off the top of my head with your policy just in relation to schools?
    Didn’t think so.

    It’s very easy to make sweeping statements about what you think we should do - the clever people have to manage the fallout from those decisions.

    And if you knew anything about human factors, you’d realise that what worked for the Chinese will not work for us. For all kinds of reasons that have been explored in part on the thread. But you seem to think that martial law is the way forward.


  • Registered Users Posts: 761 ✭✭✭youreadthat


    All the people wanting everything to be cancelled, it’s now in human populations around the world, it isn’t going to disappear. There is no point shutting everything down for a month and crippling the economy (which inhibits funding of research, treatments and other functions of society that keep a society functioning) only for it to reappear in June. There is also a limit on how long you can feasibly expect to properly control population to that extent.

    Another import from Egypt, an Egyptian man has tested positive at an airport in Saudi Arabia.
    It is likely there is significant community transmission occurring in Egypt and would imply that this virus thrives in warm climates as well as cold.

    I know it's not much of a choice when you need to get where you're going, but people are choosing to squeeze into rammed buses.

    The drivers only drive them, they don't make anyone get on.

    Personal responsibility is key - especially going forward, people need to make choices based on what's best for them, and those around them.

    Realistically you’re going to get it anyway. It’s not Ebola. Most people will be fine and won’t even need hospital treatment. I think this is what will happen, we’ll just come to live with it and Will just be a new normal after a while.

    Ah now, P. This isn’t some strong “wind” or a bit of snow where people are trying to skive off for a day on the couch.

    I get pissed off with “martyrs” coming in with a bad cold, or flu, at the best of times and this is one bad flu I don’t want to get.

    Then the fact he’s going to a doctor’s appointment when the “recommended route” is to call the GP and “self isolate”.

    I’d be looking at “disciplinary” action against that lad on his return to work.

    Knowing endangering the entire office, and, more importantly, it’s efficiency has to be covered under some HR “policy”.

    the HSE can't handle this, we have to shut down and bring numbers back to a manageable standard as it is now in Wuhan. Even the red zones in Italy are already showing a decline in new cases

    We are most definitely in phase 2.

    Phase 1 was a farce - contact tracing is no longer possible, anyone who says so is fooling themselves. Just look at the first case in Cork. They were only a handful of cases in and they are already mystified how he got it. Which means there's a person walking around with the virus that no-one knows about.

    When you fail at phase 1, best to move on to phase 2, which is delay. Delay means closing schools and unis, cancelling all sports events and so on. The quicker they move to this the better.

    Yes, of course shutting everything down will cripple the economy. People realise that.

    The reason for shutting everything down is to 'flatten the curve' the health system will get, it give it some glimmer of hope. Wuhan style.

    Not true. Please stop spreading misinformation, it's not funny; you could literally be the cause of someone's death you absolute gowl. What the hell is your problem.


    Dr Paul O'Brien last night on Prime Time. The evidence indicates that even asymptomatic people are often carriers before the standard testing confirms it. Schools and events need to be closed NOW. It's a hard fact but people are in complete denial.
    I'd thread carefully, she's up for a bit of agro today
    She's at risk of death because of a virus that everyone seems to find hilarious today. I know we need humour to keep us calm, but laughing at somebody who is high risk of contracting a virus the goverment is doing this bad of a job of handling is completely sh!t carry on.
