Heard an FDA official on Bloomberg saying the drug trump was referring to can’t be used as it has not been tested and no Proof it can do anything meaningful.

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.

there are releasing more stats now https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/ebd698-statement-from-the-national-public-health-emergency-team-19-march/

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

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.

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

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...

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.

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

Would you?

0 positive tests for 2week period.

Why? What’s your reasoning? Why not relax the measures if we are nowhere near ICU capacity?

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

I would absolutely do this- try to get infected deliberately and "get it over with" if there was hard evidence that this grants immunity.

It doesn't; there have been multiple cases of reinfections.

Thanks for that.

Was wondering why it had not been discussed or mentioned by the different health organisations around the world.

Yes. Niall Collins TD said pubs in the town of Rathkeale were still trading. The Gardai cant do anything as of yet as no legislation is in situ

At the outset most/all suspected cases were hospitalized,this is now not the case

I don't think they all need to be. Reason is that while there is some capacity, for now, medical teams want to observe first hand.

31% of cases we know about. We don’t know the true number of cases.

yourdeadwright · 19-03-2020 08:34PM

People need to clam down we are testi g alot at this stage so it'll go up like this for about 5 days then drop off again,
Also the social distancing won't kick in for over a week

Yeah, this was confirmed, the first infected were basically treated like guinea pigs, well treated very well, but you know what I mean.

No it’s being allowed on compassionate grounds for now as it’s being studied further. I swear if Trump developed a cure for covid 19 some of you would rather die than take it lol #TDS

Ya, because they're trying to get us out of this sh*t.

Leo, fg and the outgoing/caretaking government got us into this sh*t. The day the island of Ireland got its first case was the day they should have put a stop to flights coming in from the known European hotspot at the time. There was no quarantine measures either. People were told to self isolate if they show symptoms. They got us into this and the mess that is going to unfold here.

There's no such thing as national immunity.

They arent, many with mild conditions are told to self isolate, theyre not going to have people in mild states clogging up hospitals

It was the FDA who came out and contradicted his bullshít, not me.

When did Ireland get its first case? You mean 1st positively tested case? At that stage it was too late. In reality, the first case was probably here weeks beforehand. If it was so easily avoided why are there 140+ countries with cases? Are Leo and FG in charge of all those countries too?

drunkmonkey · 19-03-2020 08:38PM

Has anyone mapped today's results into Italian curve, how's the flattering going?

The median age is a bit worrying here at 43yrs old.
