Is the population not complying?

A certain % will never comply, no matter what.

Having enforcement measures hopefully will show the gravitas of the situation and importance to those already complying also.

Don't tell this eejit is still here talking utter crap

Whilst his comment is glib, the concept of economic suicide leading to more deaths than the virus itself is not without merit. The problem is that those economic related deaths will be silent, and uncounted. But will be preceded by anguish and poverty. Many could be suicides. The visible and immediate deaths from the virus will always have a higher profile, but the response shouldn’t be based on those alone

This is a forum to share information. I don't want people to be misinformed.
You shouldn't be misinforming people about something you clearly don't understand.

I've posted information from scientific journals. That's not my opinion. If you minimise the risk more people get it. Did you read any of the links?

Yet again, the only official advice in this country comes from the HSE.

Yet again with the talking down to people, follow the official advice and if you dont like what I'm saying take it up with the hse because it's all on their guidelines. Maybe you should ask them to change it.

The ring-a rosies are the rash.
The pocket full of posies are the herbs people hoped would keep them safe.
The rest is self explanatory.

The plague did not give you a 'rosy rash' or make you sneeze, that's nonsense.

This is most likely not true. See wiki below.

Reasons against the Great Plague explanation

Folklore scholars regard this explanation as baseless for several reasons:

The plague explanation did not appear until the mid-twentieth century.[20]
The symptoms described do not fit especially well with the Great Plague.[25][28]
The great variety of forms makes it unlikely that the modern form is the most ancient one, and the words on which the interpretation are based are not found in many of the earliest records of the rhyme (see above).[26][29]
European and 19th-century versions of the rhyme suggest that this "fall" was not a literal falling down, but a curtsy or other form of bending movement that was common in other dramatic singing games.[30]

Well consider yourself fortunate then because a large amount of people are pigs.

Actually had a thought there, it's quite possible this virus would never have got off the ground if people knew to cover their mouths when they cough. Such a simple, non-costly thing that every human being should have drummed into them from childhood.
I could be very wrong of course, maybe it spreads or sheds in other ways.

You haven't been paying attention have you. We need lockdown now, deal with the economy recovery later.

There's this thing called science. People do experiments, they write down the results. They share them. If it is proven and replicated we trust it. People learn stuff and we improve as a whole.

You should check it out. Google science.

I don't doubt science.

Only one study has shown that it's plausible that it lives in the air.

Note plausible, does not mean definite.

Also, if you believe in science then you should know that you would need more empirical evidence than one study to state something is fact.

Yes, this is common knowledge.

And what makes you so knowledgeable, I follow medical advice by the HSE who are the only official source to follow.

I'm not going to follow someone online.

Don't follow me. Don't be a sheepeople either?

So the world health organisation?
Centre for disease control?
New England Journal of medicine?

HSE is advising people based on the greater good. Why do other countries wear them? Do you think that we know more about diseases than they do.
Luckily I don't intend to be a statistic for the greater good.
Good luck.

Anyone ever play Plague Inc?

Good game

It's quite funny that here as we all wait relatively calmly for the tsunami of disease to arrive, a lot of us are really really triggered by that ring-a-roses plague b0ll0x

btw, we should all start our campaign for a real social history of this pandemic by writing diaries.

When it comes to a global pandemic. I'm not going to wait for official advise so there can be an enquiry afterwards.

It's like the people in Grenfell tower. They were advised to remain in their apartments. Despite the fact the building was clearly on fire. Do you think that following the guidelines was the right call in that situation?

HSE never got anything wrong.
Cervical screening. / blood transfusion scandal etc

There is no evidence Mary Tudor was quite contrary or had a garden of Silver Bells, And Cockle Shells - nonetheless, regardless of when it was composed, it's a children's play rhyme that refers to 'Bloody Mary'.

Children have had 'inappropriate' rhymes for as long as children have played.
Getting all Victor Meldrew about one referring to Covid 19 is nothing more than faux outrage.

While the poster may have expressed it in a slightly better way, there is merit. From what I have found is that everything, even from experts is conflicting. Take ibuprofen, HSE website says it’s safe, French equivalent says different. WHO is reserving judgment so it’s very confusing. Relying solely on one source also is difficult. I’m sure people in U.K. relied on advice from their countries medical experts.

I think it is best to be as vigilant as possible. Distancing as much as you can. If feasible self isolate with family. No non essential going out. It’s easier for some than others. I can and am grateful.

Masks etc are not a priority for me but if I was in public it would be different. I am keeping myself occupied and trying to distract as much as possible.

Totally the parents to blame here, I have two boys and I haven't let them mix with anyone, including their elderly granny, which is breaking their hearts.
They totally understand though.
Some Parents are complete ****ing idiots!!

And we can now say the situation in Ireland is fully in hand as posters squabble over the more burning issue of the origins of a nursery rhyme!

Sky news report from Bergano:

https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-they-call-it-the-apocalypse-inside-italys-hardest-hit-hospital-11960597

"And for the record, it is NOT like flu, it is more often than not chronic pneumonia and it is killing hundreds here each day.

The head of emergency care, Dr Roberto Cosentini, says they have never seen anything like it, and he and his staff are warning other countries, especially the UK, that they will see it soon.

"It's a very severe pneumonia, and so it's a massive strain for every health system, because we see every day 50 to 60 patients who come to our emergency department with pneumonia, and most of them are so severe they need very high volumes of oxygen."

You're just looking at from the angle of getting it. We're talking about spreading it.

I'm about to sneeze at you from a metre away. You have a choice between me wearing a mask or not wearing a mask. Which do you pick and why?

As i said in my other posts you should only wear a mask if you have it.

You should wear the mask if you're infected as your sneeze will spread more.

Me wearing a mask in your example would not stop it going to other surfaces such as head, clothes etc.
