    Why are people so obsessed at what the U.K is or isn't doing? We have enough to deal with here; with an already shambolic health service, which is not free at the point of entry unlike the NHS.
    People in Ireland should realise how badly served we have been for years with regard to the management our health service for generations.

    Because they've undermined our efforts

    Just as soon as someone finds a way to blame RCC for the current crisis as they are blamed for everything else then there’ll be a thread about it. You can see the posters here who are chomping at the bit.

    The teachers want to remain on full pay. That's grand. Let's check in again in 12 months when the 2nd emergency budget is announced and all teachers get a 20% pay cut.

    The least ye could do is work for Simon over the next six months.

    Could be a hunch, but my spidey-sense is telling me you don’t like teachers.

    With UK closing schools and not going ahead with exams. I wonder what measures will be taken in regards to Leaving Cert students this year.

    Good question, no leaving cert at start of summer means no exams corrected over summer, means no university intake in summer 2020. But like everything to do with this pandemic, these decisions seem to come as a total surprise. Apparently we're still planning to all come together in Tokyo this summer for the olympics.

    Their figures are being affected (positively) by the restrictions. They are still getting new cases but are out of exponential growth. That's the first step to recovering and getting back to where the health system can cope.

    I don't know if this is true but I've been told that Germany aren't counting their death rate correctly. If someone with cancer catches COVID-19 and dies, their death is being put down as cancer and not COVID-19.

    That may not be true but it sounds reasonable.

    The health service can't work miracles in Germany so it's unbelievable that they have 27 deaths in total out of 11,302 cases when the USA have had 117 deaths out of 7,730 cases.

    ve have vays of hiding zee figures

    Over 99% of cornavirus patients in Italy who died had pre-existing health problems...OVER 99% ! ...With an average age of 80 years old....

    And. What's your point?
    Having a pre-existing health problem does not mean you are going to die tomorrow, next week or even with in the next 10 or 20 years.
    Know anyone a bit over weight that could be classed as obese? Any diabetics in the family or friends?

    And no. It's not 99%. That's BULL.

    Im not a Dr but anyone with respiratory problems are usually advised to avoid ibuprofen. Our daughter has asthma and the consultants always told us to use paracetamol for fever. So while it's not directly related severe symptoms of covid 19 if you get them can include respiratory problems. That's why they say don't use ibuprofen. If you are sick and not having respiratory issues then it's perfectly reasonable to use ibuprofen to reduce fever or pain

    Madrid: 446 patients in ICU - hospitals on the brink of collapse
    https://www.larazon.es/salud/2020031...zh2tfnsqq.html


    Of the 446 patients admitted to the ICU throughout Madrid, 419 required a respirator. I had to read that twice.

    Estimated 10-15% mortality rate among those admitted to ICU. Christ.

    I'd argue irish are so obsessed with it because UKs failures ultimately will impact Irelands hard work and swift action.

    They are putting multiple countries at risk with the stupidity of their decisions.

    Nah, it’s because a lot of people are treating this like they do most things in life. More worried about da Brits and scoring points than they are about what is going on around them.

    It’s sad really.

    'Asked about the study, WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier told reporters in Geneva the UN health agency's experts were "looking into this to give further guidance."

    "In the meantime, we recommend using rather paracetamol, and do not use ibuprofen as a self-medication. That's important," he said.

    He added that if ibuprofen had been "prescribed by the healthcare professionals, then, of course, that's up to them."'

    TBH that poster should just be ignored. Constant bashing of everyone and everything. I foolishly responded to her posts a few times. I won`t be doing it anymore.

    Agreed!
    I saw a "leaked" report from America earlier, that was an edit of the imperial college report with every reference to UK changed to US....

    BBC is a pretty major TV network and their article suggests otherwise:

    https://www.bbc.com/news/51929628

    I can't find anything on the WHO site other then listing Ibuprofen as appropriate for use.

    Or you could look at it another way S, ICU patients are the small minority of folks who get a serious response to this virus, and even then they expect the majority well still survive. I'd not be surprised to find 10-15% mortality is actually quite high in the normal run of things in ICU's

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.
