    Can't they drive you to the shops and you go in and get the shopping, not perfect but better than them going in.

    Yes we'll go at the time for elderly and vulnerable and they will give me their Id's.
    They are physically able but I'm happy to help them. Obviously the home delivery system has been overwhelmed.

    Lads I don't know why you are going on about uk and crowds in shops, ireland was as it last week and is still bulk buying. Also check out all the images from yesterday of beaches etc. Ireland is just a bloody bad.

    4,500 tests today, rising to 15000 a day quite soon.

    I guess if your child was waiting 5 days for a result you would have a different opinion. If that is not the case then you are a totally different makeup of parent to me.

    A lady down the road is in self isolation as she was traced as a contact, BUT she said it was not a confirmed case they are still waiting for their result. The fact that the first case was not confirmed made her feel more "relaxed".

    I think there is a big difference in saying "you have been in contact with someone who MAY have the virus" as opposed to "You have been in contact with someone who has tested positive".

    I know you dont think it makes any difference, but in reality peoples behaviour is really influenced by facts like this.

    Its hard to know because the vast majority of confirmed people are not hospitalised , So there are recovering at home
    yes but it does skew with stats massively, as we would be down in overall cases and have better stats, i know most here have a bonner for this to explode and get worse, but if we dont have numbers to take away this only encourages all the lunacy.


    as china did from the start to monitor both infected and those that went into recovery, giving quite good idea on how many are vulnerable, here seems its just stacked together to make number bigger, which we know in most cases its false, as many reporting and given time period would be in recovery stage, yet many interepet this as each case was found very same day with skews with any real info.

    Would it take much resources though, to issue fines? They could employ the traffic corps.

    Maybe your not from this country, but traffic corps are just gardai that doa specific job, they are included in overall garda numbers, theyre not an additional resource that could be called in when things get tough.

    However I do agree that in the event of a lockdown the Gardaí should issue fines to anyone not observing the rules. The fine needs to be substantial, ie €1000-1500 to ensure compliance. Failure to pay the fine should result in a larger €5000 fine which is to be taken from pay/SW etc

    A pissy little €50-100 fine will be ineffective, it has to be hard hitting and draconian in order to get idiots to pay attention and observe it.

    Dense urban areas seems to be the common thread in high number of cases. Wuhan, Madrid, London, NYC, Dublin. Lombardy also has a number of urban areas.

    Well if they have been then why the fuk have the not even ordered or got protective gear for Hse staff !!! The most the majority of Hse staff have to protect themselves at moment is a pair of gloves!!
    They are being reactive to everything ... even as they we’re warned to pull the finger out and be pre active by the Italians!

    The staff in Hse and govt depts will try their best to handle this... but their leaders and advisors incompetence in acting earlier is going to cost lives that wouldn’t need to have been

    Ps I’m not attacking Harris about this either ... I think he has been playing a blinder... online anyways ... I think his advisor tony Holohan has downplayed the virus too much up to now which is exactly why at least half the country aren’t listening to the social distancing ... he should’ve advised a shut down last week... most working at home or unemployed at this stage anyways so might as well have closed the place down ... it will be enevitable in another week when scores of people come out as infected .... anyways I really hope I’m wrong about the last bit but ...

    So how do you know if they haven't ordered PPE for staff?

    Do you also not think that they might be hard to get during this time?

    This is an unprecedented and rapidly changing situation and people within government and the HSE are dealing with situations that they have never had to manage before.
    Overall I think good plans are in place. Hospital beds are ready, testing plans are in place and people have been impressed with the process, as reported here.

    People on the internet are demanding perfection, instant lockdowns.
    Instant tests for entire population with instant results.

    It's just not going to happen and I think people with keyboards with very limited information apart from anecdotal or some website should really stop all these demands.

    I actually wouldn't and I would accept that 5 days and be happy to explain why to anyone in the household. It is something that nobody can do anything about but I would see it is being resolved now.

    So from what I gather, if you start showing symptoms and you are tested and its positive, then they start contact tracing from the day you started to have the symptoms.
    But why not for the 2 weeks before you have symptoms, as one can be a carrier of it for up to 14 days before you start showing symptoms?
    Are you not a risk even though you have it you are still asymptomatic?

    You’re obviously going to get more cases if there are more people.
    Raw number of cases per region analysis doesn’t really give us any meaningful data. Per capita might or transmission rates might.

    Besides which if you count up everyone in Ireland with any sort of respiratory, cardiology, or auto-immune disorder, I would be surprised if it wasn't the majority of the country.

    Think that last sentence is a bit overboard.

    Well if you are to be believed you are the "model citizen" who does exactly as hes told, and are not swayed by "maybes".

    Unfortunately this is not the norm (see videos above), and we need to deal with the norm to get this under control.

    Yep, the attitude here over the weekend is as bad as the UK, despite what the Brit haters infesting this thread believe. Get our own house in order, why keep looking over there?
