Hopefully Italy starts follow the same trend by the end of the month, but really fearful.

It won't be the same trend, unfortunately.

The Italian idea of a lockdown isn't the same as the Chinese idea of a lockdown (or wasn't at the beginning) so it will be a good while before they get a hold on this.

The Irish can only dream of what the Tories gives the Brits.

Free GP visits.
Free school books.
Lower income tax and no USC
Rail links to airports.
A much better train network.
Some of the world's best universities.
Etc etc.

The UK paying 80% of monthly wages up to £2.5k for those workers impacted is unreal. Makes our €203 a week (€880 a month) seem miniscule in comparison.

We don't have our own currency.

We have to do what the Germans tell us.

He knows everything. If only he could be used by Boris for his Brexit negotiations, the EU would sh!t themselves at the site of the pubstool politician that is Humberto staggering towards the negotiating table. :pac:

That will be gone in jig time. Six months from now we'll have the red carpet at Dublin Airport out for the IMF again. Or at the docks if the planes are still grounded.

50 billion would be closer to whats required but our government have been swimming without trunks.

We don't call the pandemic that swept through the world between 1918 and 1920, killing an estimated 50 - 100 million people, the American virus. Academically it is referred to as the 1918 influenza pandemic.

Trump is engaging in low brow xenophobic rabble rousing in his insistence in how he repeatedly refers to the current pandemic. Maybe “severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)” is beyond his feble intellect.

He's a dangerous idiot. Someone should ask him if he thinks SARS-CoV-2 will be a bigger problem than the 1918 American virus that killed 50 - 100 million people worldwide.

You talking about the colloquially named Spanish Flu of 1918?

Have you got a breakdown there? Even a back of the envelope would do for now.

The UK economic help for their workers suggest this is going to last months. Frightening times. Not sure the Irish Govt will be able to match what the UK is doing. We have done well to keep the death rate so low but impossible to say whether we can maintain this.

The WHO have shipped 1.5m tests around the work DR Mike just said they need to scale it anywhere from 80 to 100 times over the next few months

Don't think you're comparing apples with aples there. Isn't the €203 our unemployment assistance whereas the 80% thing is a grant to an employer to keep someone on, rather than lay them off?

mikeoc85 · 20-03-2020 06:47PM

Two idiots down here in Galway, were in Dubai (one of the busiest hubs in the world) and came back yesterday. No self isolation and now meeting frontline staff at the hospital. All for a cheap photo opp and some publicity

Sure. And we have nothing equivalent to that grant.

Let's not forget that italy did it way later (in relative terms when ye have exponential growth going) than China and that I doubt italy are doing half as much of the technical things China did. Some of the stories about the use of technology to track patients and gather information were mind-blowing (they were obviously well set up for this, but even Singapore and South Korea appear to have taken this on board)

Nothing to suggest that. They need another week to see any effect of a lockdown
