And if that person can also give me the lotto numbers too, preferably euro millions but will settle with the Irish one.

Very difficult to estimate but I've heard mentions of some time in June when restrictions 'could' start to be lifted (but this is highly provisional of course)

Excuse my ignorance but saw the video in Italy today - very serious situation and people of all ages hit with it. Do they have a different strain of it? Reason I ask eg: Dr Ciara Kelly did not require hospital treatment?

Maybe many had only stayed for a night or two, people get on and leave at many different stops throughout the cruise journey. Not everyone was on it for weeks . Anyway, what is your point? Everyone on the ship was tested, they got their figures by testing everyone so I dont see how else it could depend how the figures were gotten.

Anyway, it was about 745 tested positive, and it was 3700 on the ship.

There was a lot of variance of behaviour on the ship not to mention the variance in the environment. Some people were confined to cabins with or with balconies, there were probably 10 decks etc.. Some didn't dine with the others. There's a whole host of variables. I believe that it should be studied very closely but I don't think any conclusions can be made as of yet.

Only around 1 in 5 people who contract would requite medical treatment. Even though a lot of people are dying in Italy there are many more experiencing a much milder form of illness.

Talking to a mate of mine and he was telling me his 20 year old son has just gone out for the evening to be with his mates. My mate is livid of course but there's not a lot he can do.

It does seem that younger people are just not taking this serious and I'm not sure what can be done to stop it.

Not everyone is affected the same by an illness. The vast majority who get this won’t require hospitalisation thankfully.

The only thing that will stop it is the virus starting to cut down guys in the 18-26 range, once that happens these thick ***** might start paying attention to it. Alternatively we can follow Coveneys advice and deal punishment beatings to any of them found in groups of 3 or more.

So the number of new today was lower than yesterday but if(heavy lifting here) the number of new cases doesn't double of triple over the weekend is there scope however small to be hopeful ? The people in my life aren't that annoyed over the social distancing it's the fact they are hoping for a glimmer of hope that we won't get like Italy or Spain and we may be able to reopen stuff on a phased basis in a couple of months. That may be wishful thinking but my family can't be that much different to anyone else's.

So hoping we aren’t going to be like Spain or Italy. The gov. are being very good now but the young people need to come on board. I wonder if large gatherings of young people was a factor in the spread in Spain and Italy, probably nobody knows at this stage.

This guy is a great communicator. Gives off a great vibe of calmness and self assurance. He may be freaking out on the inside but he does not show it. Most famous man in ireland now id say.

My point is that I think the mortality rate was a lot lower than 1.2% I'm not disputing your figures, I'm just saying it's strange only 20% of people got the virus on a cruise ship that was riddled with no control measures to stop it.

Yes but that age group is suffering less with it but they people they give it to is immeasurable.

Totally agree, because teenagers in 2020 are irresponsible, careless, self absorbed, shallow, poorly dressed ****bags. Should have been more swallowing or curtain wiping in the early 2000’s and we wouldn’t have this problem now.

LRNM · 20-03-2020 10:10PM

Some people I've been talking to are legit too afraid to go out and buy food. I don't mean immune-compromised people either.

One guy I know refuses to even go to the shop or interract with people full stop.

He scolded me saying I shouldn't have gone out for a walk up the road earlier.

Some people are just very anxious and worried, thinking they'll legit catch the virus if somebody passes them across the road :pac:
It's okay to go outside and do things, walk, cycle, go to the shops, just keep distance.

Swab didn't go up far enough on Tubridy
