One of the biggest problems with the whole crisis is peoples failure to grasp the exponential function.
A scientist puts a bacteria in a petri dish at exactly noon. Every minute, the bacteria divides into two. At exactly 1:00 PM, the petri dish is full. At what time was the dish half full?

The level of vitriol and sarcasm on this thread directed even at non pro alcohol posts is astonishing. Literally every post gets picked apart by someone.

It’s a discussion thread, if something is posted it’s going to need verified sources to back up and rightly so

Way too early for that. Could take awhile to recover fully that’s all.

50% of ICU cases in France are under 60

The dole queue is going to get very long very quickly. The government will need a system to stop everything trying to sign on all at once.
Businesses are already closing and laying off people.

They have an online facility and their workers are doing overtime and weekend work to manage it. Its on their site. Posted today. Its a start if nothing else.

Non pro alcohol?

Close the borders

Credit to the Irish authorities they are I think taking the right approach. We will get to a point quite soon where only chemists and Supermarkets will be allowed open. The scary thing is until their is either immunity through infection or a vaccine then at what point will people be able to circulate like normal?

statesaver · 14-03-2020 11:42PM

People here praising Simon Harris for calling out a pub in Dublin as great leadership or a sign of strength need to get real.
This is a government minister who did nothing or refused to stop flights from infected countries because "movement of people, single market". EU seems to be first then Irish.

Are there any modelling projections? I remember hearing on the news that modelling predictions would be completed this week but heard nothing more of it.

How do pubs enforce social distancing exactly? I mean you have a load of lads with 5 or 6 pints on board- how do you force them into social distancing?

Same way you would heard a flock/swarm/??? of cats.

Ironically, you have questioned people’s grasping of exponential functions . . . But said the bacteria divides, it multiplies!!

Ok, what’s the best educated researched guess on the numbers that will text positive in Ireland by say, end April?

What annoys me about this is there are people who actually think these lads are mad craic altogether.

Tried to stay away from it this evening but WhatsApp groups are lit all day and this was probably already posted but what the **** is wrong with people

https://twitter.com/SimonHarrisTD/status/1238929572701384704?s=19

Selfish bastards putting the lives of elderly and immune deficient people at risk and ****ing over the people doing God's work in the hospitals

Call it faux outrage but personally I'm ****ing disgusted at this behaviour

Fair ****s to Harris for calling this out straight

What Simon Harris isn't saying is that the message hasn't been strong enough. Via facebook, twitter adverts in the news papers, constant public service announcements. The message has been very weak. Very weak indeed.

You're clearly not a scientist.

Simon expressing outrage is not enough, he has the power to close the pubs now but I have a feeling he will wait till Wednesday to do this. The Vintners Association has too much power in Ireland.

Didn't stop flights from infected countries, but yeah, outrage because government/EU won't close pubs.

Horse bolted etc ........

Sorry to hear you are unwell. I don't know where you are but suspect it's Cork since you mentioned SouthDoc.

I thought there was a drive through facility for testing in Cork, or was that just a Facebook thing.

Examiner reckons it's a thing.

Not clear if it's doing tests yet and if it is they are by referral.

It’s so unfunny, and not because it could be deemed offensive; it’s just childishly immature..

Bacteria reproduce by dividing! If one thing divides in two it becomes two things!!

64 dead and 16538 counted cases by next Saturday by my calculations. Real infection rate 65K. based on the R-0 and exponential function.
