If we only assemble them then we're at nothing so. Without parts to put together we'll be getting very little from Medtronic.

Yeah assembly, testing and validation.

This country is not in a position to stand alone from world markets for a long time.

There will be no vaccine for coronavirus or similar for anywhere from 18-24 months

Cillian De Gascun stated last night on claire byrne live, coronavirus expert

mick987 · 17-03-2020 05:35PM

People saying this will be over in 2 -6 weeks are way off, it will get a lot worst eg lockdowns / restricted movements and more than likely be 3-6 months before thing can start getting back to normal.

Parents at work will unlikely to be fatal to grandparents

That's obviously what i meant.

Look if you don't care about the health of your parents that's fine just consider that for some people some things are more important than money.

It's not like the banks are going to foreclose for a month or two of payments. There are obviously going to be concessions made by the banks. As in other countries.

What about those that rent? Or people without kids. They have no worries?

And there are six of them all huddled around a small podium.
If they won't practice social distancing what hope is there?

You may be right but no one can be sure. I would be hoping by the start May we would have a good good handle on this.

Lockdown/ restricted movements can not continue for 6 months.

Ok, 6 weeks, then what?

From memory the uk folks where calling it still 10wks (yesterday) from peak (perhaps more) as they try to slow the curve.

Followed by hyper (short-term) optimism, some market recovery in the Summer mid-May+.

Also some caution about a potential pending Wave2 (and/or mutations), later towards November as this becomes a regular guest of seasonal flu seasons.

In 2wks, realistically things will be like now, but with a 'x' factor of situation multiplication: (damage control) type phase.

Were there are any lessons for China to be learned following SARS but were not?

How can the claim that we should be thankful to China be reconciled with the claim that if they hadn't tried to hide the outbreak of SARS-2 when it was discovered by one of their own doctors for three weeks, 95% of the cases and fatalities could have been avoided?

The UK are not testing the people staying at home with probable Covid-19.

Is that hiding the real figures ?

The USA have not a clue how many people are infected at present, again because they are not testing. Hiding the outbreak ??

This epidemic came out of the blue for China and they had 0 months warning that it was coming. China was the canary in the coalmine for the rest of the world, you cannot blame them if the rest of the world did not prepare adequately.

That's not a scary at all. Having a loved one in hospital in a critical state would be critical. You'll be grand. You've a long life ahead of you hopefully.

How is potentially losing your job and spending the summer in isolation with a restricted social life and not knowing when you'll be able to return to school/college not scary? It's a scary scenario at any age.

Italy has the oldest population in the world or Europe.

They greet people different - kissing etc,

I read somewhere that large % of men smoke - no idea how accurate that is.

There are 66millioin people - in reality only a small % have been tested, i.e. the very sick - while a high % probably have it but not tested.

I saw a statistics table on twitter last week, showing Italy, China and Iran. Males in those countries average 40-49% smokers, also high air pollution and their ageing population were factors. Can't find it now of course..

Had to go to lidl for a few bits , in fairness they have signs up and tape on the floor at the tills to show the required distance but young people/ teenagers are not paying any attention to it , walking around mauling food as well - some really ****ing stupid people out there . Going by what I have seen in the past few days we will need a lockdown because people are not paying attention to what they have been told .

In certain parts of the US or amongst a certain % of the population more guns is the solution to absolutely everything.

I'm just counting myself lucky that for the most part Ireland tends to behave sanely and like one big family in a lot of ways. It's at times like these (which don't come often thankfully) that you do actually appreciate that we all genuinely do seem to have each other's back and care about each other.

When this thing's over you're all getting a group hug! (with adequate protections)

A lot of the US is like that too, but there's an element who seem to live their lives in fear of others and protecting their hoard from some kind of imagined zombie apocalypse.

YES. Swine flu from US. Enough of the xenophobia please.

China the country should be criticised, they skin dogs and other animals alive for their fur and toss Muslims and other religious people into "re-education" camps. There's no freedom of speech, the internet and other media is heavily censored and doctored for propaganda purposes. There's no religious or political freedom. They've executed more people than the rest of the world combined over the past couple of decades, many of which were innocent people. The whole reason those markets came about and they started eating everything like rats is because people were starving due to the communist regime.

It's one of the worst countries on planet earth.

I’d SF are counting their blessings that they weren’t able to form a government as they have zero experienced politicians in any field and would be blamed for all the misery that this crisis is going to cause over the coming year(s).

I’ve been watching and listening to both Irish and UK broadcasters - Ireland is just way ahead of UK and indeed USA in terms of education, the ask and the guidance- and the conformity of society overall here is just way ahead of others also - we have clarity, we have structure, it’s not nice but it’s clear- I’d hate to be living in UK or USA right now
