    Is there an age breakdown available for “people admitted to hospitals”? Be interesting to see if it’s mainly the elderly.


    I’d love to see a breakdown of locations within counties of cases...
    not for nosey reasons but I think I’d people saw the spread it might cop them on..

    Need to stop all movement of people within Europe. Can't have people flying in from places with huge cases, anyway if a million people fly into Ireland, and a million fly out, as they do, then what is the difference if everyone stays put, the million that stay still have to eat and live ie spend money. It's really only the airlines and hotels that miss out, worry about them when all this is over.

    I cannot stand the sight of that girl her mouth is moving but it is somebody elses words coming out.

    Shameless use of a child.
    Being backed by a billionaire to make more money, poor child is actually missing out on her childhood.

    Hope this is getting through to them. My daughter is 13 and keeps saying but mum, they are self isolating 80% of the time ... I tried to tell her if you lived in rural anywhere when I was a kid you isolated more than that. She said "sorry but I need to tell you I cannot totally self isolate" and I said here's the number, call a taxi .... we're doing good so far.

    Our 12 year old grandson live with us and he is going out of his mind, keeps wanting to go out, then when he stays in he complains about internet speeds. It must be so difficult for them stuck at home with parents telling them "When I was your age there was no internet"...

    You have some serious issues with younger people, going by your posts on here. What's all that about?

    My teenage boys are gone old skool and I hear them wooing and courting the women via the old fashioned method of phone conversations... one obscure bonus to this quarantine!

    When these pubs licences are up for renewal, people should object on the grounds that they irresponsibly opened during a pandemic. I doubt it'd make much of a difference but it'd be more negative publicity anyway.

    Yeah, I've seen multiple people still spitting. Also kids coughing in peoples faces deliberately as they walk by, im assuming they find it funny.

    There may be a simple answer answer to someone spitting.
    I'm a bit forgetful, on the odd occasion I have touched My mouth and just remembered my hands are not clean(cv unclean). Then spitting is a natural reaction to not wanting to swallow a possible virus load.

    Before we All turn into police maybe we should just think. We are human, some of us a bit older and maybe a bit slower. Yes we all need to switch on, this is serious. Humans are not all perfect, virus or no virus.

    After a few mini meltdowns, they got over it. We do live in the sticks but close friends up and down the road. Luckily, all the parents on the road agreed we would not give in.
    I can imagine it being harder if your in an estate and can see friends outside though
    My girls have it a bit harder as I was in isolation in St.James's for all but a year(had the whole bring in the family/priests thing twice) -
    and then all but lockdown for the following year and hospitalised twice - only saw me every 4/6 weeks for a year and then every 2 weeks since. Every Winter we have to be careful and as we (I) finally thought we could have a cracking year, no hospital this Winter and had approval to take them abroad from Hospital team - this happens.
    We've planted seeds - first year I could touch soil, so that's something!

    Some commentators are noting that Italian family structure may be an important factor too. Alot of 18-34 year olds apparently live with their older relatives. If alot of these young people are exhibiting no or very mild symptoms it still makes them extremely dangerous to the older people in the house. Doesn’t take much to imagine what happens next unfortunately. Hopefully the Irish ‘flee the nest’ approach might save alot of our older people in contrast.

    A very interesting paper from 2000 comparing British and Italian statistics on the co-residency stats of children living with their mothers. The data is from the mid 1990's I think, but I'd guess it hasn't changed all that much since. See table 5 on page 735. The differences are quite startling and I think play a big factor in whats happening in Italy right now.

    Fair play him. License should be revoked and the people in them should be named and shamed in the papers. Anyone who knows a pub opening should report them.

    I have no interest in politics at all.

    But Simon Harris has conducted himself very well.

    My only issue is that adults should be setting the rules and giving the orders.
    Teens should be told what to do and obey and there should be consequences if they don't.

    What was the point in closing the schools?

    Virtue signalling by Simon!

    There are enough laws to close these pubs, licencing laws etc. If they want them closed, send the Guards out to clear the houses, prosecute them for opening, bring them to court and fine them, fine anyone 'found on', revoke their licence, and object when they apply again.

    There are laws there, fvcking enforce them! Never mind making up new ones.

    (This is not to excuse pubs opening, if they should be closed, they should close, and it's obviously a waste of resources chasing them, but FFS the country still needs to be policed, and we never had more Gaurds!)

    Never thought I'd say this but I hope the weather for the foreseeable future is atrocious. Keep people inside.

    Let it piss rain all it wants but I would welcome an increase in the temperature. This winter has gone on long enough.

    Having the kids play in the back gardens is a God send after nearly 3 months of storms. I hope the fine weather continues for their sake. Bad enough keeping them in but they need a bit of fresh air in the garden as well.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"

    Unfortunately not many parents will be as responsible as you.

    Dont think you can take too much from those stats.
    A lot of those (initial cases) were in hospital as an isolation measure, and not for medical needs

    Yes late Spring.

    Gardeners need a break.

    Would also cheer up those who lost holidays over this.

    Can't beat the feel of a bit of sun on your back.

    My oh is ten years older than me in his fifties.

    He doesn't follow the news, works from home and is generally quite unaware of what is go OJ ng on in the world.

    Due to my work and this thread/s I started stocking up in February and he laughed
    I sent him to buy surgical spirits and a thermometer and he laughed
    He stopped laughing when he discovered he got the last of both in the supermarket

    His attitude has completely changed now but sometimes people find it hard to believe reality

    Teenagers are not Automatons which you can program to behave the way you want.
    While not fully mature they are intelligent and rational human beings. they need to be educated like the rest of us and will rebel if treated the way you prescribe.

    I have no idea of your background so wont presume. but maybe try talking to a few teenagers if you get the chance.

    Painting them all with the same brush is lazy and for the most part plain wrong.

    Italy all non essential business's are closing.

    They should have done this far earlier


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,784 ✭✭✭froog
