I think someone said that's due to their level of exposure

If you are working on a covid19 ward 10 hours a day, even with PPE that's a lot of exposure

Add stress and tiredness to that

Yes, the more sick people you are exposed to the more likely one of the viruses will get through.
Just needs one though.
They are very brave and hopefully are being looked after better than the poor health staff in the NHS who it is claimed have not been given enough PPE.

Interesting, didnt notice the per capita row on worldometres before.
Good bit higher than 32nd place if you take out the silly ones like Vatican city , St.Barth, Faroe Islands, Monsterrat that only have a tiny number of cases but a huge number per capita because the population is so small

Do you want us to be top of the league or something??

Or isolate the the country with a 14 day quarantine period for all people entering the country.

The problem is you're really saying "if you gave us another chance and slipped 5 cases into the county we'd get them this time for sure." I guess once bitten twice shy, we'd certainly take it far more seriously next time and lock down sooner but if the virus is out there in the world, and there are flights coming in to the country every day as before, the models suggest 6 weeks and we're back in another outbreak the same size again.

I don't think we could get back to full normality, and there would have to be checks and restrictions on people coming into the country. But equally I don't think we could cope with grinding everything to a halt for weeks every time the case numbers start to rise again, and doing that for over a year.

Anyone else in London ? Feeling very uneasy at the moment here.

wear a mask, and a good one at that, also latex gloves, and make no apology for it.

Unless you're thinking of just making a protest and point (not a bad idea), then I think you're advice is flawed.

The mask or gloves won't stop you getting the virus.

Unfortunately Cheltenham people only returned about 5 days ago. Huge amounts in Pubs/clubs etc culminating in Temple Bar last weekend. These probably haven’t washed through. I hope I am wrong. I also wonder how the medical staff will be able to keep going.

This probably also applies to the people themselves

There's been some briefings from the UK that seem to say a London lockdown is imminent. They're unlikely to 'pre-announce' as it might lead to an exodus.

Should be pointed out that by the time the Cheltenham crowd returned on Friday night, the country was already moving into partial lockdown. Footfall on the streets was already well down and social distancing coming in, so it's debatable what impact they had when they got back (apart from infecting their own families perhaps).

Lock them into the house and nail the doors shut.

Being serious though, a lot of people are having similar problems and there's a thread in this forum on that very issue that might be helpful to you.

It must be very hard on the old change their habits at this stage, especially for such a strange reason that a lot of us still can't really believe is real and are waiting to wake up and it all to just been a nightmare.

Yes just found the thread thank you, I thought it was just me!!

Friday night was probably the most mobbed Dublin City had been in 2020, which led to outrage after seeing Temple Bar. It was then the closures started. Also up until then public transportation at rush hours was also full with no minimum distance.

Lockdowns in Italy AREN'T WORKING!!!
Lockdowns in Spain AREN'T WORKING!!!

All they are doing is crashing the economies, people are gonna get sick anyway, may as well try the Dutch approach to herd immunity.

Would many of the Cheltenham brigade been in Dublin city centre though? They were probably all gargled out and headed straight home.

I was in the city centre on Friday afternoon and footfall was way down (and virtually no tourists in the city). The buses were quiet that day too....no way were they full.

Matt Cooper spent 5 minutes tonight tying Pearse Doherty in knots about the north not being in line with the south and that the nordies could spread the disease all over the Republic. Not one single mention from him or anyone else in the media about the thousands of people coming through the airport every day from all over the World.

Its about flattening the curve Yo. At least that's what they tell us. If we go the herd route we'll do an Italy and overwhelm the health service.
