There won't be an economy to deal with. Why don't the "lockdown now" shower understand this?

Dear oh dear

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.

...like the disgusting practice of people (male, exclusively) spitting on the sidewalk in our cities and towns.

Anyone ever play Plague Inc?

Good game

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.

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.

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:

"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."

Was talking to my dad the other day (69 years old) and he was saying he wouldn't mind if he got the virus and died from it.

I, a bit perplexed as you can imagine, questioned his thinking. He said that from what he understands of it, people that get it are off their heads in and out of fevers and their breathing slows until they die. He reckons the respiratory system giving up, whilst you're so out of it with the 'flu', that you'd barely notice, and "with a few whiskeys in you" it'd be a grand way to go.

I did have to laugh, but it got me thinking: how do you actually die from this? It does seem to be mostly related to the breathing issue, from what I can see (it shuts down your ability to breath properly?). Are people dying in their sleep and over night with it, just by suffocating?

My mam (73) said the same, it's her time to go, she says 😢

Suppression is a failed strategy.

The kids where you are at least retain their sense of humour and perspective. The adults on this thread don't.

And some adults have their heads so far up their asses that maybe that buttplug that someone suggested earlier might indeed be a fairly good idea for protection.

Suppression and lockdown is a way of slowing it down.
No one has ever said it is guaranteed way of stopping it.

Fine if you and the others kike Jimmy Garlic want to carry on as normal but don't fooking expect others to have to deal with the fallout from your disregard.
You might be fine and healthy but your neighbours, your loved ones may not.

I do not trust the HSE because their incompetence has been shown time and again.
And they are playing catchup most of the time.

So definitely go further than they advise, just to be on the safe side.

If the person who coughed/sneezed was wearing a mask?

It catches droplets and reduces spread. But people who are infected should not be in public and isolated as much as possible so the above should be less of a risk
