Boris's herd immunity policy

I think as well people are complying with these measures on the basis they are only for 2 weeks. After that might be a different story

It will be bad but why worse than Lombardy?

Interesting fact, about 70% of the biomass in the ocean are microbes, and of that 20% are killed by viruses every single day, it's almost all viruses killing bacteria like lunatics

Nothing to do with the comment above though

I'm even losterer now than I was when I posted that comment, just really glad that I have about 10,000 augmentin duo to take once this virus gets into my local community, going to start on a low dose to build up an immunity and ride it out.

We'll see who's laughing then!

The horses just run by themselves i suppose.. No jockey, trainers and owners..

It's unnecessary. Every other sport is shut down. But theses money hungry so and sos.

They clearly feel they can implement social distancing and it's not hard given the size of a track. Its literally jockeys and trainer that's it, along with starter and a handful of officials

Jockeys aren't even in the same dressing room as each other.

Listening to New York Mayor on CNN now

Clear instructions to its citizens well worth listening to

Calling on companies/ individuals with stockpiles of PPE to donate them or sell them to the state

Asking companies to change production lines to making them

Used an acronym PAUSE ( cannot remember what it stands for will google)

Calling on elderly and those with underlying conditions to isolate themselves screen everyone who has to interact with them ( carers) wear a mask in this interaction and insist on the other party washing hands and putting on a mask, take solitary walks keeping well away from people

Telling younger people to cope on and stop congregating in crowds

Ended it all by saying I take full responsibility for all these measures

Lots of other measures

For every action an equal and opposite reaction.

Many will be dying. People's survival instincts will kick in. It will be better. Will adapt to this new social norm

That the English CMO and Chief Scientific Officer who proffered that herd immunity advice, and based it upon wrong/flawed research and interpretation really need to be held to some form of account.

Be it just a token sacking, rather than pitchforks...

They have cost lives already.

Belgium is in full lockdown since Tuesday.
2200+ cases, of which 164 in intensive care (of which 114 on a respirator ventilator)

Presume you meant the following. Keeping it clean given the confusion regarding masks / respirators, don't want to add ventilator into the mix.

You seriously think eating snakes, bats and other wild animals is cheaper than chicken / pork?

This. The wild meat market makes up about 5% of the consumed meat in china and its mainly the well off that eat it as it's expensive.

This is it. The toerag next door, who lives with his grandparents, was marauding around with his gang of mates. I called him up on it and his smart arse response was "the government aren't making us stay apart, they're just asking us to".

I reminded him that this kind of thinking is what leads governments to change from asking people to do something to making them do it.

****ing idiots.

When said grandparents get a 1500.00 fine if this is enforced, well??? that will learn em

:D

Is more than 191 increase today a real possibility?

I think this is the mentality as to why it'll spread. Who do we know who the jockeys were in contact with? Who were the trainers or the officials in contact with? The fact is that it's unnecessary therefore should be stopped.

Is it published somewhere what time the HSE daily press conference and daily numbers are released? Seems to be a random time everyday & wondering how to find out. Thanks

Very real. I wouldn't be surprised if its over 300.

The_Brood · 20-03-2020 04:47PM

I want to not go out every day in the city center, but the shoeboxes apartments in Ireland are not built for long-term living. If you stay a full day inside you are pretty much exactly in a jail cell. I know that "nobody likes to be cooped up" but there is a major difference between at least being to walk a few feet from one room to the next.

Has the government or anyone thought of anything concerning this topic? I don't know what the solution is, but clearly it is a heck of a lot tougher for us in the city center shoeboxes.

I'd be very surprised if we are not in the mid-high 200 range today,maybe even higher.

That could be clearer. What are groups exactly? Family groups (yes presumably), groups of friends who meet for a walk (no I would think), random people who don't know each other (no) ...

Are individuals within a group supposed to stay 2 metres apart or not?

There's no room for ambiguity here if they expect people to heed their advice.

Probability more than possibility I'd say, unfortunately

Fair point. I would take an 'other' to mean someone that you are not living with.
