The U.K. are screwed - herd immunity was never a viable option, 250k attending Cheltenham should never have happened. They will reap what they have sown.

When the ****e starts hitting the fan it may lead to the end of Johnson as PM.

Two days of 25% increase, while encouraging, is too small a time frame to read into anything. Likewise if it's 120, no need to react the opposite way.

Blushoe 45 would be 12.5% increase on yesterday

The real number we need is how many people are hospitalised ,
the trick to beating this is to keep that number as low as possible which is quite obvious

I think we're going to get this once a week.

Re. groups in parks, those not observing 2m gaps etc.

It's hard for some people to unlearn social norms. Then there are the clueless.

How many thousands went from Ireland though? They have helped screw us as well!

Some people still not observing the social distancing. Speaking to someone earlier saw a big gang of teenagers hanging out together no social distances. I know this is difficult for everyone and today is a lovely day but seriously they need to cop on. My knuckles are cracking and sore from hand washing, I scrubbed the house trying to do everything right, disinfecting kitchen surfaces and table constantly, put car keys in separate box, put food like sugar and flour etc in tubs and binned packaging and yet these people or their parents don’t give a €hit. Sorry for rant really annoyed...

he seems like a smart guy. but how do you explain the massive sudden requirement for ICU and ventilation equipment? if this was nothing out of the ordinary this would not be the case. health systems would not be overloaded like we saw in wuhan, like we are seeing in Italy and Spain. it just doesn't make sense.

maybe someone can explain his argument better to me though, i'm not sure I fully grasp his logic.

His logic is pretty sound - for every country except China, Italy and Spain ...

Since 2016 is not a veteran.

Who said anything about the word veteran? This happens on here quiet a lot, posters in a comment throw in phrases at another poster that they never actually said. It's very poor debating skills.

It does sounds promising, but it has some interactions with medications used by some of the high risk populations.

In terms of the approvals, per a post on the prior page, there seems to be some confusion as to whether the fda have approved it or not

Don't see anything on FDA website. The commissioner was just at a press conf with Trump and there was a few quotes on twitter, but nothing relevant yet.

Wow, really helpful measure here by Bruno Bruins.

In relation to NI, 1,646 tests have been conducted there, so 77 positives is just under 5%, roughly on a par with the Republic:

They should never have been allowed back. I personally don’t know anyone who went over but if I did I’d be keeping a big distance from them - selfish bastards

Was in work today, work in retail, and I'm shocked at the lack of self control people have towards social distancing. People chatting in groups, kids running around, nobody abiding to the 2m rule, customers constantly up in my face looking for stuff.

Did people just forget about Covid-19 all of a sudden?

It's time for supermarkets to limit the amount of customers entering, for their own sake but also for our sake, the staff.

I think someone termed it "normalcy bias" in the previous thread...

Basically, many people refuse to believe the reality of the situation we are in... perhaps it's their brain trying to protect them from becoming overwhelmed by all of it.

Or in more simplistic terms... like an ostrich with it's head in the sand, if they can't see the danger... then there is no danger!

They should have been quarantined. a lot of people said it at the time but it didn't happen. They should have been quarantined or the very least told to self isolate for a few weeks.

They're actually shortening the infection phase but shortening the life of someone else also. The best way to deal with it is say we will prioritise those who need treatment and self isolated. Won't be long seeing the fcukers run indoors then.

Who would be able to prove that one way or another? Good in theory but unworkable.

Need to stay away from people for a couple of weeks until the penny drops with these idiots. Not easy when I still must go to work.

olestoepoke · 19-03-2020 05:00PM

The reality of the situation really hit me today. An ambulance pulled up to the house 2 doors down from me. Two guys get out with masks and plastic aprons and testing kits. I watched them when they finished, they striped down all their gear, mask, apron gloves and placed it all into a yellow bio hazard bag. Hits home when you see it so close to your own home like this.

China has no new domestic transmission cases today, meanwhile this disease is about to become the American virus

All the shinner base is done for now with this happening, forever homes and the likes are back of the queue for the next few months. Thank **** they didn’t get in to government because we have the people we need handling this right now in the right way.

B*llox theer probably going to be shortage now. Lot of people inc myself use it to treat autoimmune issues. Problem is if we are taking off it for some time it can take 3 months for it to start working again. I don't fancy having major flares again

An independent newbie knows better?

Your newbie comment is at best facetious.

Her committee work, and the widespread respect her contributions have garnered, has put in more work than others there for a decade and more.

There are over 80 amendments so far from right across the Dáil.

She was echoing the widespread concern expressed, and did it with precision and effect.

There are still flights from the UK. A good number every day

SusanC10 · 19-03-2020 05:03PM

Back here again after a break since last Friday.

Haven't left our place in a week. Finally have Kids and Husband (working from home) in a realistic routine that works for everyone.

Expecting a Tesco delivery tomorrow so will see how that goes. If lots of things missing then will go early on Saturday morning to re-stock myself.

My Mum (elderly and with healthy conditions and living 3.5 hours from me) is doing fine. We talk twice a day on the phone. Local shop delivering groceries to her which is working well. Mass on the TV now every morning for her too.

The Italy numbers are still scaring me. As is the UK method of dealing with this.

As are different people's interpretations of social distancing based on contact with my friends and photos on FB etc.

Your post? I'm clarifying my own post and yes we all do all of this, just in different ways.
