I agree about the mask. But gloves can make a difference and every customer in a shop should be forced to wear them. Its very unlikely most people who go shopping wash their hands beforehand and many are likely covid infected. If you dony wear gloves you coild bring it home with you infecting everyone in the house.

Gloves are worse. How many times are you going to wash your gloves?

My sister was diagnosed + referred by GP on Monday morning so nearly 5 days now
apparently as a priority case as there's a child with Down Syndrome in the house
she's worse now but holding steady at moment
there are 5 of them in lockdown in the house, Dun Laoghaire area

still no HSE call to test

I doublechecked with GP the referral was done

Can anyone give me a steer on the testing timeframes at the moment please? I'm starting to wonder whats going on??

thanks

I imagine that a decision to close a restaurant, pub and any other business is not taken lightly

haha I assure you a n95+ grade mask is not useless

And this is why theres a lack of them in the health service, people have them when they dont need them.

No that's wrong. Vaccine will give immunity, but no point in giving it to the young first.

They will more than likely be prioritised for HCW.

Okay but point stands that without a vaccine first the herd won't just become immune to a virus, well unless you are Wolverine

Pretty sure herd immunity only kicks in once a vaccine is found and given to the young first, we then get the immunity from them.

Never heard of the human race just becoming immune to a virus without a vaccine being given first.

Such sh1te, humans have been around millennia. Vaccines about a centuary, what did we do before that.

Probably the least surprising post in the thread given the absolute shite you come out with regularly here.

I'm surprised you haven't learnt your lesson by now, after outing your mate Noreen Spicer the other day with a FB screenshot and snitching on McGettigan's bar for being open. Obviously your IQ hasn't increased since you're still tagging the bars were at, like the complete edgelord that you are.

Good lad.

Gloves are an awful lot worse that's the point, you wear a glove and come into contact with covid or any other virus, it's now on the gloves, you touch god knows what throughout the day, falsely thinking that because you have gloves on it's less risk, but no, everything you touch potentially now has virus left on it.

Compared to washing your hands a few times a day and getting rid of any potential virus each time.

Sorry but that's utter crap. It's not spread through air. Unless you have contact with someone who has it then you wont get it. It's not airborne in that sense.

Again and I can back this up with various medical articles, only healthcare workers or those with an at risk illness should wear them. If your healthily it makes absolutely no difference if you wear them, it can still enter via the eyes.

so you're saying we should all be wearing masks and goggles

gotcha

We won’t know anything about the social distancing results for another week.

Well we know its not happening so thats a relatively good example of it not working.
We cant blame politicians, etc - although that seems to be a lot of peoples default.
People have been treated like adults and asked to do something, a good chunk of society havent and the inevitable solution is that we'll be forced

They will develop immunity from exposure to the virus or the vaccine.

People cannot develop immunity from exposure to those who have been vaccinated. At least that's what I thought you were saying.

We didn't have planes, cars, trains etc at that stage.

Some tribes died that was the end of their pandemic.

Hopefully the Italians will ask him why information about this virus was withheld for 6 weeks......or if China will finally outlaw wet markets ... or why they lied to the WHO saying there was no human to human transmissions even though they already knew there was.

Why do hospital workers wear masks then? Because it spreads by air if you're near someone with the disease and only n95 is rated to stop small particles like viruses.

Surgical masks are useless. The mask needs to be rated for this type of threat. If you say paint or work construction and own a mask - you should wear it.

So first you said they don't work but now you're saying they should be only for health service??

Why wasn't our government proactive and planning for this? I bought these months ago when the virus started in China. I value my health so I bought n95s

Yes. I am absolutely sick to f**king death of how everyone is pretending this isn't a 'China' problem. Of course it is. It's not racist to say so, or any of the other pure sh1te I've seen people spouting.

It's 100% China's fault.
