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?

Which should be scrutinised carefully. Anyone who works in scientific research knows how long papers take to get published usually due to how long quality research takes and the checks and balances in place such as the peer review process. Papers that are coming out in a matter of weeks are likely to be error-ridden and of lower quality.

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

And when a play chant is such a disgrace they need to post online about it.

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 😢

Or touching surfaces with their hands that they have coughed or sneezed on.

That's why hand hygiene and distancing is important. Not masks and gloves.

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

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!!

Across the road from me there is a house that is just a ticking time bomb. Woman looks after kids of all ages so lots of people in and out of the house all day.

who the f is spreading it, is it among families can the HSE tell us?

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.

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.

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.

They all do that with alarming frequency at that age! I had a neighbour who used to say that every year from her late seventies. She was 92 when she died.

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

Luckily this is not a novel area of research.

Respirators are designed to prevent people from inhaling toxins. A virus is very small but there are C.E certified "masks" that block them out.

Again ask yourself why do doctors wear them?
I think it's to minimise risk.
Why wouldn't you minimise risk if you could?
Seems a no brainer.

You added that bit later.
Your original post was full on Victor Meldrew. For all we knew those children could have been in their own back garden.

And in the great scheme of shameful dangerous disgraces what the children were saying is waaay down the list.

As i've said, if the person is infected then they should wear the mask (But they shouldn't be out).

But that's not why people are wearing them here. They think it prevents then from getting the virus.

I've said this numerous times now.

I was paying for some groceries at a shop checkout this morning and a guy came right up behind me and started coughing in to my back, some people just don't think, scary.

Did you know that
"Ring-a-ring-a-rosies
A pocket full of posies
A tissue, a tissue
We all fall down"
dates back to the Black Death?

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.

Growing up, I would go to little park set on a hill in South London. We always sang ring a ring a rosies when we were there as we’d been told that the bodies of those who died were beneath us.

This is another one that always spooked me when I stood on the platform

Bakerloo Line, London Depot, near Elephant & Castle At the south end of the depot lie two tunnels; one leads to Elephant and Castle whilst the other is a dead end and acts as a runaway lane for trains that are unable to stop. Behind the walls of the this tunnel lies a plague pit.

Doctors wear them because they're in direct contact with infected people and it's high risk.
Of course they wear them. But it's also to stop them spreading it to other people,

Also, the normal surgical masks that doctors normally wear in theatre. That's not for their own protection but the patient's.

Unless your mask is welded to your face some droplets are still getting out around the edges of the mask. Just. cover. your. nose/mouth. It's so easy

Obviously it's not a novel area of research.

It doesn't matter if the experimental methods used are new or old, quality research takes time to produce. It's laborious, often frustrating stuff.

They work.

Typical of the on-thread nonsense being posted - calls for checks of cars disembarking Ferries (check what exactly?), on the spot fines for people standing talking to each other and now a 'one-shop-a-week' enforcement policy.

Do some lads think we have an army of thousands of bureaucrats on stand-by to monitor and enforce whatever is the latest stupid policy they dream up?

Id prefer once a forthnight to be honest.

It doesnt need an army, it just needs to be broadcast by gov/health officials. You dont need to panic buy you just need to buy sensibly.

By your definition most laws are unforceable, gards etc are not everywhere because most people obey the laws and rules of the land

I know Im talking to the wall with you but anywho

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

I understand the global economy is already collapsing before our eyes. You haven't considered the impact on society if we simply ignore Covid-19. We would be looking at total collapse of health systems, mass deaths (Think WW1+WW2 +++) and an extremely enraged population when everyone realises governments put economy before health. I understand its not an either or and both are intrinsically linked but you absolutely cannot say 'let's just get on with life and let the virus kill the vulnerable'

Oh and don't come back and say just keep the vulnerable and elderly locked away for a while, that is logistically impossible because of the immense number of people involved.

It has yet to dawn on some people the scale of the problem we are dealing with and the sooner they acknowledge our new reality the better for everyone. Mental health etc will all improve too and we can collectively work towards improving the situation for all.
