The present crisis has shown up Greta Thunberg and co. Shown her to be a child, immature.

She was in the headlines throughout 2019. She could easily be posting online messages that her peer group and followers would see, on how to behave responsibly during the virus spread. She could call on certain governments for lockdown etc. But just a one trick pony.

That leads me to conclude she's just a tool used by others with agenda related to climate change.

People gave out to Martin Luther King when he voiced opposition to Vietnam, that he should stick to civil rights. He replied that he was fighting segregation all his life, he wasn't going to segregate his thoughts.

Agreed.. or Gretas silence may possibly reflect a view that this is by default advantageous to her sole cause. If things are to be believed nature is benefiting somewhat... though if Greta saw the amount of plastic gloves being used in irish supermarkets...!!!

youll have to explain what that means I don't have a degree in statistics .

8% of Brits between ages 25-39 live at home with their parents.
31% of Italians do.

If four times more people in that age bracket live with their elderly parents, it will lead to a quicker spread of the disease to those vulnerable people.

Virtue signalling by Simon!

At the cusp of the most serious and deadly health crisis of all of our lives, to accuse the health minister of virtue signalling seems to be woefully ignorant

Think about it for just half a second - how it must feel to be Simon Harris right now, the incredible stress he must be under and how this crisis must be demanding every moment he has.

Do you really think he has the time or inclination for 'virtue signalling'?

Thank you very much.

Wind your neck in Harry...your suggestion to get football started again so Liverpool can win the league was to purposely infect players so they can recover sooner and finish off the season....all just because you want Liverpool to win the Premier League.

Part of the medical material seized last Wednesday in a warehouse in Lovosice, in the north-west of the Czech Republic, was destined for Italy by the Chinese Red Cross. Czech Interior Minister Jan Hamacek admitted this today. "Customs officers seized hundreds of thousands of masks. Unfortunately, it later came to light that part of it was a Chinese gift to Italy, "Hamacek wrote on twitter, adding that obviously" Italy will be compensated ". The police seized 680,000 masks and 28,000 respirators. Of this material 101,600 masks and respirators were destined from the Qingtian city of the Zhejiang province to Italy.

Another death in the Mater today. Wasn't included in today's figures .

The Irish figures seem to be 1/2 days in arrears

I know there's maybe 10 percent if people behaving irresponsibility but maybe the 90 percent are enough... Obviously the more the better but as long as most people are being sensible and especially older people then the measures should succeed.

See, 90% isn't enough. Imagine if someone fixed only 90% of a gas leak in your house. Would you just "be sensible" and not use naked flames and/or turn on or off anything electrical for weeks on end, or would you prefer that the leak be properly fixed?

Oh yeah? Someone died in the Mater? Any details on age, existing medical conditions?

I'd probably caution that the paper is from 2000. But would much have changed since I wonder? An incredible 82% of young single people lived with their mothers

Hi all. Just my 2 cents here. Hope I'm not breaching any rules.
I've had some symptoms progressing through out the day today and I had to do some deliveries to customers so I was a bit trigger happy in trying to get talking to a doctor for some advice.
Being a Saturday i knew my GP would not be working but I dialed the primary care centre incase there would be any info given in the "We are unable to take your call message". I guess that would be a bit much to expect.
I then went to the HSE website for the info I needed. Advice given was:
Don't go to a hospital, doctor or pharmacy. Call your GP and they will asses your symptoms and organise a test if necessary. Yeah we have all heard this before.
Anyway I Dialled the local out of hours doctor MiDoc. This seemed logical but didn't turn out that way.
When the doc answered, I obviously started to explain that I believed I may be developing symptoms of the coronavirus but she abruptly stopped me in my tracks saying that she could not do any assessment or provide any test and advised me to contact my GP on Monday.
So I asked her what I should do If my situation deteriorated.
She replied, follow the guidelines on the HSE website.
I then explained that that was what I thought I was doing right now.
She then said she couldn't help me.
I asked her if the coronavirus is a deadly virus?
She said it is.
I replied, yet I have to wait 48 hours to raise the issue with a doctor? Can I go to A+E.
She said absolutely not, just follow the guidelines on the HSE website.

Moral of the story is don't get Coronavirus at the weekend.

Does this scenario sound balmy to you guys ?
Does anyone know if you can just rock up to a drive thru testing centre without a referral? I'm thinking not.

It's really not complicated. If you are showing symptoms, you self-isolate. You get a test when you can. The GPs are overwhelmed at the moment, and we need to have patience, though I know it is frustrating.

What you don't do is work as normal. You also don't go to A and E, and you don't go to a testing centre without a referral. All of this info is freely available, it is not rocket science.

You seem to think that you have a grievance here, when in fact the answers are obvious and well known to 90% of people - if you have symptoms, self isolate. Get a test when you can. Do not, under any circumstances, become someone who passes on the virus.

It's probably the same everywhere, reports have to be through the proper channels and not confused with the normal (and still difficult) bereavments which are occurring so as not to skew information.

Is it illegal to have house parties at this moment in time? I am going to report it as the noise is excessive anyway, they’ll know who’s reported because of the house’s layout but fup it anyway.

Unless you don't have the means to self medicate anymore. :eek:

Each to their own, I have to say (no offence to Cinema Guy) that people cope in different ways. Running, going to the gym, going for a jar, going for a coffee etc. are all verboten now.

It's the new normal. Cope as you can. I would not judge anyone these days.

+1 Even when they don't live with them under one roof, they tend to live very close by, same apartment building or street and are much more in and out of each others homes. It's in a very general way of course, a much less nuclear family society. Spain is similar enough. Which is fantastic is so many ways, but might be a weakness in this case.

Just assume you have it until tested. And don't do any more deliveries. You are probably delivering to vulnerable people trying to isolate.

Ah makeandcreate that must have been scary for all of ye. I bet they are delighted to have you home and plenty of time for holidays. Garden best thing for the head.. seed and spud planting here too. Keep well and enjoy time with kids.

Thanks - doing the best we can - find helping others keeps me sane, look in on a few and bring a dinner to them and have done before this. Hopefully can continue to.
Meeting a friend online to see can we provide parents locally with art and craft packs with You Tube Vids going forward - challenging the kids to try arts outside of school curriculum.
And as people are going to be isolated more, perhaps a Grow and Sow initiative - I know little about horticulture but if we all have a plant we can take cuttings from and leave them on the wall for neighbours or seeds.
No excuse for extreme competition in Tidy Towns this year.
This could be the most valuable educational year we all get in our lifetime.

That was a joke:D

Some on here have the impression I am anti drink because I was annoyed at packed pubs while we have a deadly virus spreading.

Sitting in having a few drinks is the correct thing to do.:)

I would say the Covid crisis has done nothing to discredit Greta. If anything, it may enhance her cause - people might take her warnings more seriously having seen what a virus can do to our way of life.

I don’t think it will have changed much because it’s a cultural thing. My understanding is that it’s just their way of live; multiple generations living under one roof, pulling together so everyone has a good life together, without fear or pressure of money woes. It’s a cultural way of life I’ve long admired, as someone close to his mother and brother, and I find it a shame so many people over this side of Europe run as far away from family as possible.
