Do we know much more details of the 4 Irish deaths, lication, age, underlying conditions etc.,? I know perhaps the families do not want to release information but some more information might help scare more into taking better care, precautions, stubbornness of not staying in

Do you guys think we have managed to flatten the curve?!

You should have no bother isolating the kids anyway.

China is twice the size of the EU. 15 cities were put in full lock-down, not just Wuhan.
Covid-19 reached every province of China, and was the epicenter for the entire pandemic.
China has virtually no new domestic cases now.
Anybody willing to write off what any Asian country has done in relation to this virus must first produce a very good counter-proposal.

Did you read the post I was responding to?

If so perhaps you would explain the logistics of providing daily food rations and meds to every single household in the EU which was what was being suggested.

Let's make it easier - let's say to every single household in France. Every day prepare and deliver food and meds. To approx 30 million households spread across 543,965 km2 - 2 meals a day - avg 2 occupants per household that's 120 million meals to be prepared.

Where?
By who?
Who delivers?
Who pays?
Is it centralised or regional?
If regional how localised is it? Village? Apt block?

If people could go to a few locations to collect prepared food with a hell of a lot of planning it might not be impossible, but to deliver to every household during a pandemic?

That was the suggestion I was responding to.

And that's not even getting into seizing people's dogs and 'humanly kennelling' then in some location or other cared for by ...???

I think a fairly sizable portion of the population don't realise the Flu is really bad. Many people who think they have/had a flu were probably suffering with a bad cold.

I'm in my early 30's and to be best of my knowledge(and my parents) i've never had the flu, some bad chest/throat infections.

Having seen a family member with a flu a few years ago, opened my eyes to how bad a flu actually is

100% agree.

Since that flu in December, I now truly realise what the flu feels like. My brother got it really bad too. He honestly looked like a zombie when I saw him.

Brother ended up at a Doc on Call on Xmas day with it. Mother at a Doc on Call a few days latter. Both felt horrid, and also felt there was a weird mood from the doctors about it.

I know it wasn’t the same dose, but bloody hell that was a weird bug

Simon Harris briefing is very good

I had the flu at christmas and it literally took me a month to recover, it was 7-10 days of choking cough, shaking, high temp and stuck to the bed. The rest of the time was spent just lying on the couch. awful it was

Losing their licence? Not a hope as they're not actually doing anything that's breaking the law.

Not breaking the law, but being (extremely?) irresponsible, maybe better off they don't get the 'ol license renewed the next time.

Anyone know how long it takes to be called to be tested after your GP has requested it?

BorneTobyWilde · 20-03-2020 06:07PM

It's only a few day ago the Government had the ''expert'' on Late Late Show telling everyone it's only a cold, go out and live your lives, as Ryan smiles and asks audience '' do you feel better now''

Funny how Dr Ciara Kelly had someone in a hazmat suit out to the house quickly to be tested and test results in 2 days, rest of us aren’t getting the same treatment obviously.

Oh and the argument that she is a doc won’t hold up, she’s not practising. She’s a journo.

39 people dead in The UK today. Their approach to this is frightening.

Not really any different to Ireland's now

We really don't need to be guessing how many people are going to get sick and possible die do we now?

No need to guess, the public health scientists have run the numbers its between about 80,000 and 150,000 in this country unless people cop the **** on and get with the social distancing effort.

Usual death rate in Ireland is approx 30,000. And crassness is utterly irrelevant.

He always came across to me a sincere man doing his best within existing constraints.

Has grown in stature during the crisis, I only hope his health holds up, and that he does not do himself more serious long-term damage.

My opinion of FG as whole remains totally unmodified.

expectationlost · 20-03-2020 06:10PM

if you are well enough to complain about not getting to a test, then you you've no worries

Ireland's approach should have been much more stringent earlier on but is infinitely better than the inactivity of the British approach. A lot of damage done in weeks of prevarication
