    S Korea and Singapore face the same issue. Repeat infections from external sources

    And where are we in all of that? somewhere in the middle perhaps.

    Another way of looking at it: only 5 yet confirmed as recovered. So that's 675 unknown outcome, and that's only those tested positive.
    Stats worldwide say 80% mild so you can expect the same here.

    Maybe you're a parent of one of the types?

    Yes because obviously if you disagree with violence you are a ragging scumbag with feral children.

    Obviously. Or maybe you are a bit of a scumbag yourself? Or more likely it never happened.

    So today, here was my experience when I decided to get out of the house and go to a wilderness for a walk where I knew I would meet nobody. Got there by car. On my way I observed road workers talking and working in close proximity to one another; I saw walkers along the road, side-by side; I saw a bunch of cycling enthusiasts compressed together as they rode along; I saw a golf course car park full with cars and more worryingly full of golfers chatting away with little evidence of distance between them. With the Italians going through hell with no sight of abatement, it is really strange that we are not heeding their warnings about what social exclusion means..the social distancing measures are not really been adhered to here - there is a laxity and complacency in some quarters. Check out the live covid site..we currently lie number 23 out of 172 countries in numbers of cases, yet we have such a small population compared to many other countries. http://ncov2019.live

    Don't know the age but the CMO did confirm two days in a row now. No reports of underlying conditions.

    It’s confusing, i think the fact that they wouldn’t Mention the age of person and they also said there were no underlying conditions makes people think it was a younger person however some online news sources said it was an 88 year old lady, hard to know what to believe.

    So essentially yes is what you are saying. The country isolates for 2yrs, theres no normality if people are isolating in hotel rooms for 2 weeks. No tourism, no business visits. There'll be about 5 airlines left on the planet when this is done.

    Maybe no civilian airlines at all. Military aircraft only.

    This is exactly why we need lockdown

    I think we are trying to be more like the first two especially in higher levels of testing and contact tracing and we have implemented a range of measures aimed at mitigating the spread. So time will tell and we'll see come the end of the month. You'd like to think we've got it right and have some level of control over it. The level of communication we've had has been very good.

    To my understanding all the fatalities have been elderly with underlying conditions.
    I'll see can I find sources on that.

    Edit: (sources)
    https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2020/0314/1123205-north-south-council-armagh-coronavirus/

    Doesn't give an age, but confirms an underlying condition on the second. The first was an elderly lady, with a terminal condition, if I remember correctly , and the third was an 88 year old woman.

    I was in Aldi in Ennistymon this evening and a young lady from a well known ethnic group was walking around coughing and no regard for anyone.
    The nice lady at the till told me that's the 4th time she came in and did that today.

    It looked like she was testing people's tolerance, then off out to the hi ace or whatever they call them ffs

    Im not racist by the way, seriously

    I would suggest she is chasing compensation for being slandered or embarrassed in public. They are going in to shops now and pretending to shop lift in the hope they will be stopped. Insurance claims are a major source of income for them.

    It is shameful to be going about coughing like this. Two of their community broke into my mothers house last night, but were caught. Kept in station last night and up in court this morning. My mother is in her 90's so its pretty low to invade her home in times like this. However, they dont care, and get away with lots by claiming they are persecuted and ostracised.

    Because our response so far doesn't seem haphazard or chaotic. Very low death-rate. Loads of testing. 24,000 people signed up to be emergency staff across the healthcare sector. Med-tronic is doubling its ventilator staff. People aren't being savages in supermarkets.

    I'm aware of how dangerous this is but I'm confident we'll get through this strongly.

    Oh I'm not having a go at our gov on this. They had a very, very slow start but have recovered strongly and I'm in favour of our approach to this in general.
    And some of the very recent developments will really stand to us.

    But the numbers are stark for the next few weeks. It's baked in. Our health system is going to be many times over capacity within a week or so.
    Maybe less.

    Seeing some of the posts here and on other social media sites, I think it is only a matter of time that people working in shops will say fcuck it, it’s not worth it. They have been working every hour god sends and in the line of fire. If there is not much difference between what they take home and what social welfare is (without the stress and risk) it’s a no brainer.

    Unfortunately it’s not lockdown and whilst people have lost their jobs to limit social interaction this is not going to stop till we are ordered to stay home . Needs to happen sooner rather than later .

    Very touching scenes from West Kerry today. Locals lined the route of a funeral to pay their respects taking into account the need for social distancing. A gesture that was greatly appreciated by the deceased's family.

    Yes I've seen up to 87% reported. But that is a percentage of what exactly? Testing numbers seem to vary erratically from country to country. And in all countries it is acknowledged that there are likely significantly more cases then are tested positive. Which is good as it can only increase the percentage of mild cases.

    Just back from a walk on my own. Big change from two nights ago. No groups of young people whatsoever. Mostly people walking alone, or couples, all went out of their way to adhere to the distancing.

    I know of others who are so worried working in retail where hoping the store close to protect them can’t blame them
