    To the economic worriers (bless), money does not exist as a thing in itself. It is a means of exchange between human beings, most of whom are in the same boat as regards Covid 19.

    Good idea but unfortunately the Ferrari factories are closed being in the eye of the storm.

    McLaren and and least two other F1 teams are starting to process healthcare machinery.

    785 cases in Ireland... How is this possible? We were letting in plane loads of people from Italy? There should be more. Or are symptoms really that mild in most of us?

    almost certainly there a large number of younger people walking around with zero or little symptoms.

    Severe levels of suppression there. We know the demographics. Jaysus.

    Why are you being such an autist?

    Really... could you have used a term such as pedantic instead.
    This is not on.

    on CNN there is a story about an Italian family in New York who were all at dinner last week. Within 3 days of the dinner, 4 of them were dead from covid 19, and 7 are still in ICU. The family name is Fusco. None of the family experienced any symptoms until that night.

    Wasn't there an Italian article a few days ago that said Ferrari was going to make ventilators?

    Other major manufacturing and engineering companies in Europe can adjust their line.

    Lads - because of the autist in our midst.

    1. I’m Irish
    2. I live in England
    3. Am posting pictures of empty shelves to warn my home country.
    4. I truely think England is going to be the next Italy - so my Ireland needs to be aware.

    5. I honestly think my country has the medical staff and political leadership to get my Ireland through this.

    Just sending you guys reports from the craziness that is England. You do NOT want to copy it. That’s all.

    I chided you gently the last time now I'm spelling it out. Here in the old country we have moved on.

    We don't use autism as a slur anymore.

    Is there a graph somewhere for confirmed cases in Italy by age profile?

    Ireland currently - numbers are increasing much more in the 25-64 age groups

    Good Man Colin Keogh.

    However I would prefer an automobile company, like Ferrari or say some manufacturing company to make the ventilators. They would have the workforce and equipment.

    3D printers are not the bee all.
    What would they bring to the party?

    We're mainly talking plastic extrusion here. I would hazard a guess that the car makers subcontract all that work out. Possibly to China.

    cf 3D printers, decent number of industrial scale operators, don't require manufacture of precision moulds, just software files.

    Fastest solution, construct using existing components and standard seals etc. Doesn't need to elegant, just effective and reasonably compact.

    and they're roaming around in huge bored groups now making a mockery of social distance.

    parents need to cop the feck on now and be responsible.

    Sorry if I am out of date.
    Things are moving fast I was working off a report from a few days ago.
    They certainly would have the expertise.

    Jesus Christ.

    Right. I’ve had a few glasses of wine.

    But during my years in London , working in Tech , my best workmates were always Italian. This is really cutting me up.

    As if the virus went after the nicest people in Europe. The Spanish and Italians. Why? Because they have strong families and interact. So sad on so many levels.

    Rant over. That was a powerful post.

    To the economic worriers (bless), money does not exist as a thing in itself. It is a means of exchange between human beings, most of whom are in the same boat as regards Covid 19.

    When a storm comes, be in the biggest boat with the most people, sure it might get a little bit "Lord of the Flies" but most survive.

    Think you'll find a lot of these parents are just as immature and irresponsible as their off spring and don't give a ****e about anyone, not even themselves.

    Sad but true.

    Dialogue is a waste of time. Only enforcement works.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,152 ✭✭✭dougm1970


    Just caught a Sky News report from Italy - if covid19 victims die in a care home or private home , they ARENT counted in the stats. The Italian death stats are from hospitals.

    Jaysus. This could be way way worse than we can even imagine.

    isnt that what germany is doing....attributing any death they can to any underlying health issue they can and NOT to the virus itself.

    Those photos from Italy :(

    Very sobering altogether. The families must be in bits. It is unreal now.

    We normally see these kind of pics from earthquakes or floods etc. far far away, not that they don't deserve sympathy don't get me wrong, but this is very close to home now.

    Far away things are not real to many, but close to home they are, that's how it works.

    On the off chance hydroxychloroquine works we will have plenty of it anyway and for free with novartis amongst others committing to donate around 200 million doses.
