Breakdown of deaths by age group when deaths reached 2,003. 88% of total are 70+, 96% if you include the 60-69 age group.

1/500 if your 30-39

Added a map based view of cases in Ireland (from published numbers) at

Most the big retail stores have shut, all education, pubs, clubs, salons. I'm not sure doing more will make much of a difference. We've got a median infection age of 43 so far, that tells me the most vulnerable are taking precaution.

This is very interesting. How many of the thousands of Italian tourists had it coming here? Too late now but it was insane to let them travel.

Today I had the joy of manning the "observation boot" of my tourism site job (we are closed) and the amount of rental cars/campers coming in is staggering. These are Europeans mainly with the rest being about 15% of them being Americans and 10% Irish. Between work and home life I haven't checked if the government has stopped flights coming in yet but we damn well need to. I am talking over a hundred cars during my shift (there are several shifts rotating between a handful of us). I am afraid of being without work this year and the future of tourism but this seems like madness if they are still letting people into the country from abroad.

Clearly it's the age differential. It's definitely the most memorable part of that movie for me. I always think about it when I see unsustainable one-upmanship.

FYI, the movie has not aged at all. Keep the memories of it that you have.

its varying hugely from place to place

the instructions from dper are clear enough imo but local depts just do as they wish regardless.

some depts simply arent communicating at all, some have instructed staff to attend work under threat of disciplinary regardless of wfh capability or urgency of work, some places have told staff stay home regardless of there being work they can do remotely

some depts far, far better prepared for remote working than others.

therell be major inquests into how some depts have found themselves still in the 90s or how they just havent reacted since the whole thing broke.

line managers left in a rotten position in places.

unions hopeless also, maybe there'll be an article about it in the next forsa mag eh

That would be the 1890s, mind set never changed after '21.

They need a Catherine Motherway. It's just a shame the demographic who could use that message most probably definitely don't watch Prime Time.

This is a silly arguement as is the whole "Cheltenham" travel.
Wuhan didnt suffer becuase of their airport or because of horse races.

It's ridiculous to point the blame to single points of mass gatherings. It's very clear that community transmission is the problem.

The virus was coming here regardless. People would still be going to the pub and unwittingly transmitting the virus if we had a fake sense of safety from cutting off flights\

Yes indeed, all countries our size in Europe have the virus and many have more cases than us - Austria, Norway, Denmark, Czech Rep etc

This thing with the 5000 Italian rugby fans is almost an urban myth at this stage.

15 Italians who were in Ireland test positive for Coronavirus on return to Italy

https://gript.ie/15-italians-who-were-in-ireland-test-positive-for-coronavirus-on-return-to-italy/

15 Italians who were in Ireland for flight assistant training with Ryanair have Covid19. Some of them were under treatment in two hospitals in Dublin while others have been quarantined.

It is believed that they contracted the virus in Bergamo, near Milan, where the training began. Bergamo is the area with of the largest number
of Corona virus deaths in Italy. Ryanair daily direct flights from Bergamo (Orio al Serio) to Dublin were discontinued only on 10th March.

The group left Bergamo for Bari on 2nd March, when the whole Lombardy region was locked down, and they arrived in Dublin on Saturday 7th March.

Michael O'Leary you pr!ck :mad:

I thought somebody had overdubbed the real video with German (like, as some sort of Nazi reference) until it became audible.

168 new cases in Turkey.

Anybody not see this coming? In a few days it will be 1,000's per day.

Countries lie then can't hide the crisis or the bodies and in desperation start reporting the figures when it is too late.

Turkey > Iran

Turkey realised they cant hide it when nearly every other country in the world has cases - no matter their pandemic plans

Please tell me you're joking?

Paper cash is just a receipt of what you have in your bank account no more.

I don't have any money in my bank account, so does that make the cash hidden under my bed worthless?

After watching the Sky News report from inside the hospital in Italy and listening to Dr Motherway on Prime Time and comparing that to what I am seeing outside and people acting I'm afraid that a full shutdown of all non essential services is required for a minimum two week period.

People dont need to suffer like those in Italy, health care workers dont need to have to make fhe choice of life or death

Its going to be a very hard lesson to learn for some and for the first time since all this started a little bit of fear is,creeping in on me

It's like bringing a fire onto a plane and dropping them off in a dry forest.
Then collecting it and bringing it back.

It was going to go on fire in parts. But this just added to the fuel.

That's a huge line of trucks.

They will be taking away more than one body at a time in those trucks.

If this is the first time you have felt fear, then you either have not being paying attention and you haven't been as careful as you should have, or you for some reason thought you we were immune.

Starting when? I cant see the Government locking down too quickly.

I have an Australian friend living in rural north Thailand whose embassy contacted him asking did he want to go home. He declined as he is quite self sufficient with his own water, food, generator etc. He does not have to come into contact if he doesn’t want to. He told me that a lot of Thai people are very worried about the virus but cannot stop going to work as no social welfare. The shocking thing that he did say was although the government has issued a lockdown, it did not effect popular tourist resorts such as Phuket due to the economic impact(It has officially in the last day) but he said that nothing has stopped. I looked at various tattoo parlours in Phuket on Facebook and all business as usual with tourists.

They do have restrictions and a negative infection health certificate issued within 72 hours to get in, but yesterday had the largest jump in new cases.
