    Agree, they need to start giving much more specific information as to where clusters of positive tests are found. No names needed but I'd like to know if our local town or village say was a hotspot, so we would be extra careful. This business of advising of cases as in the 'east, south or west etc' is useless.

    They need to send out text messages to every phone on our networks. With the current guidelines etc. There are people out there that dont read news etc.

    The Medical Council have issued guidance to doctors on prioritising treatment:

    "Patients with the best chance of survival are to be prioritised as coronavirus overwhelms the health service, even where families disagree, the Medical Council has told doctors.

    “In making decisions based on the principle of prioritising the use of scarce resources to treat those patients most likely to survive, more lives are likely to be preserved,” it has said."

    https://www.irishtimes.com/news/health/covid-19-patients-with-best-chance-of-survival-to-be-prioritised-1.4203716

    Some info present in this internal memo regarding the preparations for reorganizing hospitals, treatments and the pulling of life supporting measures when overloaded.

    Revised it to 8am last night but sure I dunno what to believe anymore.

    Don’t believe everything you read on WhatsApp, pal, might be a start.

    Also, I've never said I was health staff. I said I worked for the HSE.

    Holy hell. This does not instill confidence in the HSE.

    Please tell me you're the tea boy or something?

    I too was annoyed at the vagueness of the '5 cases in the west' & '10 cases in the East' messages, at the start.

    But I think the reasoning behind it is to keep people vigilant and to not think that they do not have to practice social distancing and hand washing etc just because the cases are not in their town or locality.

    Revenue have more or less said that staff will be redeployed to ensure critical business needs are met across the wider public service.

    Would love to know what critical needs NEED to be met and if this isnt just a excuse to keep people busy instead of keeping them safe.

    Are you not allowed to go out for a walk ?

    No, there were people who were using their dog as a way of going for a walk but that has also been stopped. They have also began to fine people and you can also be put in jail.

    I can post a recent payslip if that would please you. I couldn't give a rats what you think is likely. Also, I've never said I was health staff. I said I worked for the HSE.

    If you don't give a ****e why would you go to the bother of scanning something?

    A lot more testing will be going ahead according to reports. Are we looking at high 40s today, maybe high 50s for positives today?

    Figures are irrelevant at this stage. What we need to see is the plateau and then drop off of new cases, whatever level that is. Months away I suspect.

    At this stage what does it matter. Just assume it is everywhere and act accordingly.

    Fair enough point but that would make more sense back in the spanish flu, their would be so much travel between the 2 nations same as here as we are an island too?

    Did you say your other half, or someone's other half, works in Tesco and were told of the imminent lockdown? Are you just barefaced lying or making things up for the craic?

    New weekly reports expected from today should have that information.

    Does Coveny and vardkar think the public is crash test dummies

    Serious information vacuum here

    Coveny on the radio then saying WhatsApp rumours are nonsense

    Jesus Christ, there's so much information coming from them.

    I was talking to a buyer last night. The stocks are fine and the supply chain is fine. There is some lag time over very specific product (e.g. buttermilk) but the supermarkets are not going to run out of food. He is putting in very large orders every day. He did say that the supermarket staff are overworked and shattered. They've had to put up with a lot of 'Christmas Eves' in the past week. The panic buying was idiocy and shameful.

    Hopefully settling down as people get used to the new reality. It's the dramatic announcements that panic people. So I would expect another round of toilet roll free for all later this week. And then settling again.

    If you have symptoms do you call 999 for the first responder testing? GPs dont seem to want you near them

    I work in the Civil Service. HR sent an email around this morning looking for volunteers

    I haven't gotten anything like that.

    Got an email about overtime rates, a circular regarding Waiver of Pension Abatement for frontline staff in the context of Covid-19 and circular about HSE National Collection of Daily Absense for Covid-19 (how you log sick leave if off with the virus).

    You call your GP who will decide on refferal.
