    Yeah as long as the death rate in old people only goes up by 800% it's fine :(

    Whos says its fine. It was just an observation that they were all elderly, showing just how hard its hitting that age group.

    Bluntly Italy waited until it spread way too far to lockdown. Too many have it and are spreading it. We (and all countries) need to react QUICKER to avoid emulating the Italy situation.

    Theres a bang of fascism off Boris Johnson's herd immunity approach. Theyre essentially going to allow the old and infirm to die. Northern Ireland border needs to be closed if theyre following that approach.

    If we started locking down everything but local food supplies and pharmacies the numbers crossing from NI south would drop significantly. The issue might be people from here going North for all the stuff that's still open.

    Myself and the other half are living in London at the moment and the inaction over here is unbelievable.

    Really need to take a leave out of ROI's book, that is if it's not too late for the UK

    How do you know this?
    Bottom line is prisoners are being released due to Covid which doesn't sit very well with lots of people

    How do I know that doctors' knowledge is limited? Have you been paying attention?

    Prisoners being released doesn't sit well, whatever that might mean. And that is most certainly not the bottom line. The bottom line is the war on the virus.

    Any fools out there still think this is just a bad case of the flu?

    A lot of people are going to die soon, it's just a question of how many now... and how can we stop our country becoming the next Italy or Spain!

    No access for public? They've changed their approach so. Fergal Bowers will sort us out. He's been a real hero in all of this.

    News segment from Swiss TV saying avoid ibuprofen as it seems to accelerate the effects of the virus. Stick to paracetamol is their advice.

    Re Italy numbers. 21K out of a population of 60m is 0.03% of the population.

    I don't know what that means or why I'm posting it. But it might put things into perspective.

    Saying that, if we had that percentage we'd be at 1380 cases total.

    Some posters on here seriously need a good dose of valium.... A small very small percentage of people will get this Virus and a very small percentage of those people unfortunately will die.

    People should be contacting their local TDs urging them to put pressure on the Government to drastically upgrade the lockdown. We are all in deep deep ****e.

    Some example set to the returners today what with Leo taking a spin up north.


    We're here, the remainers working remotely while wondering what just happened to our world, hopefully just like the majority of of us.


    I'm looking forward to hearing a leavers story.



    As my husband just sang, "Start spreading the news.........."



    I'm liking his lyrics.

    I have to put my hand up and say I was one of those fools, was in Heathrow last month and scoffed at people wearing masks. Complete naivety

    Small comfort to those that lose loved ones.

    By next week we will max our ICU bed capacity

    No, I think that's merely in response to the rapidly evolving situation and huge media interest......nothing sinister
