    Its 2.51 am and I can't sleep. My wife is a nurse who will be put to front line duty fighting this from Monday. She's a type one diabetic - high risk and scared. My 13 year old son is asleep in the next room. He's asking me will we be okay. Will mum get sick. Will I lose my job. I'm physically sick and genuinely scared.

    I wish you and her nothing but the best.

    It's stories like these that make me despise those c*nts who are in the pubs even more.

    Why not ? We might have a functioning health system after this passes , it will pass! But our taxes will be through the roof to maintain a proper health care system

    This is massive, right now I don’t care what tax I pay I couldn’t give a #uck, life is much more precious and if we don’t take all the necessary steps to try to stop the spread, the social consequences will be devasting and leave a lasting scar on Irish society just like the famine of 1847 did. Who knows what society is going to look like down the line, oil is tumbling even prices seemingly filtering down to petrol stations according to another thread here on boards tonight. I think our priority now is minimizing spread at all costs. Right I’m off to bed.

    So the Mayans were right all along about the end of the world. Only problem was that some tool put the date 8 years too early.

    Obliterated me h#@e,.I will confidently say that Ireland will come out the far end of this better than anywhere in mainland Europe.. Also remember only a small percentage of the population will get the virus and an even smaller percentage of those people will die..

    Sam. Every expert says 40 or 50% of the population will get it. Say 2 million people. If 2% pass away that's 40,000 people.

    How do you know more than every pandemic expert? Spanish flu killed 23,000 people in a less populated Republic of Ireland in 1918/19. So if this is much the same it'll do damage.

    Thats the worst case scenario,stop frightening the sh1te out of people!!

    S.Korea has a much lower death rate with much higher testing.

    I don't believe the World governments and most definitely European governments will even consider letting any Country go into financial melt down or even difficulties because of this virus. This is an unpresidented occurrence and will be treated as such.
    What matters now is feeding people(individuals being able to access grocery stores is a must)and infrastructure(gas,water, electricity etc) logistics(movement of goods and front line workers etc) it's not just the rich who will come out unscaved!?.... So everybody please put the financial thinking to one side. And God bless you all.

    I'm with you here. I live close to a road where the ambulances have to go to their destination and the increase i have heard has risen by multiples, now obviously they cannot be all COVID19 cases but i think with my assumptions and the testing they are going to ramp up over the next month we will see rapid growth in this (Unfortunately)

    It's not the worse case scenario. Do you read or listen to news? 2% death rate, conservative. 40% infection rate conservative. Many predict closer to 70%.

    Read up on it. It's facts. Government say it, WHO say it, experts say it. But anonymous Woodsie on boards knows better than anyone.

    Exactly. When the arse falls out of the health service people will die from other conditions. They won't get to hospital etc. Some people just can't work out the logistics.

    Everyone need to take precautions but there is no need for the panic you are trying to generate.

    People are still transitioning from the denial stage. It takes some longer than others. Unfortunately these are the same gobsh*tes who have been out in pubs etc this weekend, making the problem worse.

    I made a mistake with my maths earlier which I corrected.

    There are roughly 2 million people aged 18-42 in Ireland. The death rate for this age group is 0.2%. it would result in 4,000 deaths in that young age group.

    It's all here. Every breakdown.

    True statement. But you are doomsday fcukhole if you say this here. The government know how bad it is going to get also

    I'm not generating panic. Everyone with a brain cell knew this 7-10 days ago. You haven't a shred of a source to back up your hunch.

    Our graph corresponds exactly with Italy, Spain, France etc since first reported case.

    Naggdefy isn't trying to cause panic. The figures he/she mentioned are conservative. Unfortunately we are looking at a large number of deaths in this country if we don't slow down the spread rate. The country will be on a full shutdown like Spain by the end of the coming week in all likelyhood. Resteraunts and bars/cafe's will shut in the next 48 hours in my opinion.

    No need to panic though, access to food shops and pharmacies will be kept open.

    We have no idea, how many tests each country did in those days, or the parameters under which tests were done, it's certainly not uniform and not comparable,

    It's already been pointed out on thread, that the testing rate in Ireland went way up on the last day. And the time to get tests back had been greatly reduced, we were always getting a big spike under those conditions.

    You were going ón the supply chains were in trouble a few days ago. Can you stop your scaremongering bs. The situation isn't great but we don't need people like you trying to panic everyone.

    50% infection rate?
    Italy 60m?
    30m infected?

    It's serious but you lads are full of it.

    South Korea jumped in deaths from 110 odd Friday to 190 approx yesterday. You wouldn't know that I'd imagine.

    This is an evolving situation. If you took time to read about the 1918 pandemic it was the second wave caused most deaths. Viruses mutate etc

    The Spanish flu affected all age groups seriously, this doesn’t seem to.
