    WFH so it's grand.

    Don't laugh at me, but when I go out for a walk (on my own), I wear surgical gloves underneath other gloves and I don't give a fk who thinks that's mad.

    It may be useless, but gives me a bit of confidence. I watched the YouTube about how to remove surgical gloves correctly, for the record. The outer gloves go into quarantine in a basin of milton and washing up liquid outside the back door, I have three changes.

    Am gonna look ridiculous when the weather gets warmer, but I won't care either. Every little helps.

    The brother earlier slagged me and said I'm a model for contracting it. LOL with much touching of wood.

    Earlier on RTE quoted Monday’s figure that out of the 226 cases 86% required hospitalisation why such a high figure is that a quarantine measure ? or is it that those cases were very serious?

    only 6 were in ICU.
    so most were just being isolated

    Same scenario in our development.

    Absolutely and add the Liverpool fans that went to Anfield to that.

    And add anyone who went panic shopping, add anyone that didnt quarantine when the first case in china came out. How far do we go back. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

    This exactly. You can't even pick up a packet of biscuits at the shop without running the risk they have been touched by someone infected and the risk gets higher by the day. Avoiding this will be blind luck rather than being fastidious.


    I washed all our shopping yesterday with soapy water

    Its kind of an all or nothing deal though - non compliance by a handful of individuals puts front line people at risk

    This is very good: Covid-19 Interactive Model

    https://neherlab.org/covid19/

    Projects the estimated cases with a lot of detail, and allows the effects of mitigation to be modelled.

    Edgelord, edgelord! We got an edgelord over here!

    Just being honest. Actually a little less than honest as I was in the pub Saturday after the party also. All of you clueless basement dwellers and herd animals can shrivel away in your homes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,545 ✭✭✭✭billyhead


    Out for a solo stroll earlier and people are simply not observing the social distance requirements. Hanging around in groups and up close to one another. We really are a stupid nation.

    191 new cases with 69 in Cork

    What are you getting out of lying?

    Anyone who thinks the total of diagnosed cases = the actual number of cases in the country is missing the point. There is a multiple of actual cases versus positive tests.

    Keep on restricting person to person to contact and diligent hygiene. The test result numbers are no cause for panic but they are a reminder of the need to commit to fighting spread.

    I was in AIB Castletroy, Limerick to put some money into my bank card.

    Over at their online banking section there are two banking ports side by side. Two customers and two bank employees were very close together. Found it usually.

    Would have been better if they only have one of the ports working.

    86 cases not 86%

    Both. Early on everyone was isolated. More recent hospitalisations are only more serious cases.

    I thought GPs don't do the testing? An ambulance will come to your house

    But it’s the GP who orders the test.

    Anfield, Cheltenham and Crufts is not hindsight. Everyone who attended these events knew of the risks.

    The Government also knew the risks of the flights coming from Milan for the rugby.

    None of this is hindsight.

    Italy treated the initial closures like a holiday.

    Kids out etc playing people out and about.

    We are doing the exact same thing.

    We are not doing the same thing.... Italy was way worse initially, with partial lock down. They were in pubs, restaurants, short holidays, beaches, family gatherings for many days. People here more or less started social distancing and staying in almost immediately. I know we had some dumbasses over the first few days but nothing close to them.

    no $hit how many road deaths and other are there daily from way lesser unecessary risks that people take, this virus aint falling anyhwere near deaths we have on day to day basis. so i get where OP is coming from, and this joke of distance keeping wont make it go away, as eventually most will contract it one way or another, since buying time option is only for those who would face critical situation anyway, as been outlined today any real treatment is about year away. and people nor businesses wont be able to live like this forever, so coming to terms and accepting risk most can manage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,236 ✭✭✭mcmoustache


    Is it me, or do the numbers on worldometers make it look like the UK is further ahead than we are in terms of infection rates?

    If they are, their lack of social distancing, especially in the pubs, is going to bite hard.
