    What do das Germans know that we don't? Pretty impressive, the difference between them and the Brits for example with cases/deaths is mind boggling.

    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.
    If trolling it's a poor attempt. If real, then I think you need to catch yourself on.

    We need to seal the U.K. / Republic of Ireland border.

    Not officially but I've heard of plenty of unconfirmed reports of bars opening their back doors.
    This is definitely happening .. a lot of local pubs have the side gate off the latch...

    Donald Trump has waived FDA rules allowing a malaria drug to be used to prevent/treat Coronavirus. Any info on this ?

    The FDA came out 10 minutes later and tempered his bullshít.

    The absolute fúcktárd is in some ways just as dangerous as the virus.

    No closed for the past week

    there's a pub in my family, its closed now obviously, but we had a conversation about the potential of having spaced seating outdoors only, it was only a thought experiment but we went thru how serving / staff would work i.e. one person at bar pulling pints as per order, one taking them outdoors to extra wide counter and one staff to drop to near customer.
    now he's lucky to have a lot of space around his premises.
    if its done super safely, i dont see the problem.
    plastic glasses only, and before the greens attack, those exist already and have to be used before they are recycled anyway.

    what do ye think

    its extremely rural, area doesn't even have a village

    So, exactly what metrics are required to relax the lockdown?

    Positive tests as a % of total tests on the downslope for X number of days?

    Just so we have an answer ready when people start to question why 30% of GDP has vanished and there’s 7 people in ICU.
    0 positive tests for 2week period.

    If Donald says it’s OK, then it must be OK. What further testing would possibly be needed? It’s not as if he’s ever been wrong about anything.:rolleyes:

    Really? I was told today loads in work are wearing gloves. I was going to wear surgical ones and change them throughout the day. Would you not recommend that?

    I'll wear for certain things not others,using a petrol pump prime example .....other things like handling money or inside shops is just getting a little too anal about everything ....I do have a hand sanitizer and will use soap and water when possible


    By the time this is all done and dusted I reckon we'll all be verging on the side of OCD :D.......it might be worth taking note of, I've honestly in all my life rarely given regard of what I'm handling or put my hands on (well mostly)

    31% of cases here have been hospitalized..is that correct? That seems very worrying.

    Okay... but you go first! ;)

    I would have no problem doing that. We have all had the flu or a bad cold before and got through it without panicking about losing our jobs or homes.

    The country is going to be an economic disaster in 3 months time.
    Other countries can afford to start massive bailout, Ireland is still paying for the last bailout and will be doing so for decades.

    Surely, as drastic as my suggestion sounds, the quicker we an build up a national immunity the better, and sooner people can get back to work.

    In a few months time all those small business that laid off people will not exist to employ them again once this epidemic is over. It will be the 1980's all over again, only worse because people will not be able to emigrate for work, because those foreign jobs will not exist.

    I'd be inclined to think if someone is at death's door you give them whatever you have. What do 'potential side-effects' matter at that point?

    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.

    Same. Was out for Cheltenham Thursday and Friday, as was most of the town, pub was packed. Was at my aunts 70th in a local pub on Saturday and went for food and a few pints on Sunday.

    Since Monday it’s been boring af though. Worked on Monday, went for a spin with a mate on Tuesday and Weds, was meant to be a Paddys Day party on Tues but my mate broke up with his bird and cancelled it, although got a Mickey Ds and had a stroll around a shopping centre and for a few games in case there is a lockdown. Back to work again today and tomorrow. Not looking forward to the weekend.

    Detailed stats was originally to be weekly, must be going daily instead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,791 ✭✭✭mohawk


    I have noticed an uptick in people wearing gloves that are wasting their time. If your wearing gloves when your out would you stop touching your faces. A dirty glove touching your face is the same as a dirty hand touching your face.

    As for use of face masks I wonder how many people are following proper techniques to put them on, replacing them once there are damp etc.

    From what I can see most people wearing gloves and masks are no more protected then those who are not using them.

    I can imagine it getting very messy once people have a few beers on board and trying to tell them to stay 2 meters from each other. Not a bad idea but at this stage we should be trying to encourage people away from social gatherings instead of into one..

    AFAIK they were hospitalising everyone in the early stage, partly to ensure their self-isolation...

    If we could cure all this now, all it would take is for you to give your life.

    Would you?

    I think that is skewed because at the start they hospitalized everyone regardless of condition.
