First attempt at a Patricks Day shamrock pancake

Edit: Turned out to be the best attempt!

We are far more globalised now. The amount of people Ryanair moves in a day is probably more than were moved in the whole of WW1.

Ok - if you think plane loads of people arriving on Ryanair compares to literal armies that lived in camps with basic hygiene, then travelled together in groups of thousands in cramped conditions with basic hygiene, often for days if not weeks, to arrive home where they immediately spread out across their home country to houses/tenements with basic sanitary conditions (no indoor water/outdoor privies) than I'm not going to even bother trying to convince you.

You cannot compare the world The Spanish Flu decimated with the world under threat by Covid 19.
They barely had radio so getting the message out was beyond difficult.
The study of virus' was in its infancy.
Modern medicine was in its infancy.

The public didn't even know there was a pandemic until it was too late - no whatsapps to spread any kind of information - radio and newspapers was all they had. If they even had access to those.

We learned from the Spanish Flu - and that is why Covid 19 has been contained as much as it has been.

Brave move but the right thing to do. Being a divided island makes it impossible for us to do the same.

Personally, I feel this virus could kill twenty billion people. Worse than all the great wars combined. People will be eating snails from the garden. Birth rate will drop as couples will not perform coitus.

I think we will end up there as tricky as it’s going to be

20 billion you say?

There's a lag between an action and the resulting effect. But I'm sure you know better than that.

well that lag seems fairly long atm if its 4-5-6 weeks total military state, given impact longterm those few weeks will result in years of recession, not all bad but imagine plenty of people that need to feed mouths and pay bills to keep afloat.

I suspect America is going to be a bloodbath. Their healthcare set up is simply not up for this kinda thing, not without a lot of changes.

Temporarily. It WILL bounce back and I'll lay bets now the speed of that bounce back will surprise the naysayers. We've bounced back from much much worse as a species. Hell, look at Germany in 1945. Utterly fooked. Millions dead, a generation lost, cities pulverised. My own father and an uncle saw it first hand just after the shooting stopped and they couldn't believe how any society could possibly recover. Fast forward twenty years... Same went for much of war torn Europe.

Plus what look like and are horrible disasters to live through, the survivors pretty much always end up living in better societies after it passes. Put it another way, without the Black death we wouldn't have modern society we cherish today. It directly impacted class mobility, workers rights, the reformation, the enlightenment and a host of other drivers of the modern world. And the Black Death made the very worst of the possible outcomes of Covid look like a pleasant picnic in the sun. With cake and ginger beer.

I’ll take that bet Wibbs!

We need to be carful making fleeting statements to prevent causing panic.

85million were quoted as having died during during that war.

Where did you get your predicted figures

Poster did say, 'Potential'

3.5% of 7 billion people on the planet?

Its more than 85 million

Who knew there were so many qualified economists in Ireland!

tobefrank321 · 17-03-2020 01:37PM

The question is can you flatten the curve without closing borders or grounding all flights.

lots of people out running and cycling today and keeping the distance,great to see people are looking after the health and taking advantage, ...i think most irish people are taking this very seriously and we are all ready to row in behind whatever needs to happen...course ye will have a small minority ignoring everything but feeling positive about the way our government is handling it and how most people are following the advice...its gonna hit us hard but we will bounce back,lessons have been learned from 2008...we are a different country now...we just need to do whatever is possible to slow it down so that our hospitals can deal with whats gonna come at it and the people most at risk can get the appropiate care

Forest Avenue restaurant, Sussex Road in Dublin have their doors open today and there's a queue stretching all the way around on to Leeson Street, with everyone 2 metres apart but as they get to the restaurant, it's a cram.

Money hungry ****ers.

It's the hungry feckers in the queue and inside that are big part of the problem, too.

tobefrank321 · 17-03-2020 01:41PM

It seems you can test negative for CV when its at an early stage and test positive later.

It happened this guy.

I suppose it demonstrates the importance of waiting for symptoms before testing.

Charlie Brooker of Black Mirror fame already wrote it, Dead Set, where Big Brother show goes on during a zombie apocalypse. Still on Netflix I think, good watch, tho maybe not at the mo. Not the first time one of his outlandish plots has come true (hints Pigs getting things done to them by British PMs)

He's finally conceded on twitter that maybe he is a soothsayer!

A business opportunity for brave:

A restaurant/shop/pub/night club for already infected only. You could hire already infected staff only too. Just need to wait for the first batch of infected to get well.

Just freeze mortgage and rent payments for 6 months.
Go to Tesco get the shopping and tell them you'll be back in a few months to pay. Same thing

I'm off to pick up some bits.

This is what I was saying earlier about an untapped resource.

Dunno if this vid has been posted before. From Italians if they could have warned themselves a few weeks ago.
