I haven't read much about any miracle system they have for having those low figures.

Hasn’t got going there yet.

And they have the oldest population in the world.

Is that how other countries record them? I don’t think so but I could be wrong.

I think it’s confirmed new cases.

Dr Holohan makes the very interesting point that if we succeed in flattening the curve, the restrictions go on a lot longer.....you're dragging out the pandemic duration so to speak

That was always made very clear. The benefit is that the ICUs aren't overwhelmed, and there are enough medics with enough time to treat people.

Again, A flu can kill anyone.

Covid-19 is tending to kill those in an older age range.

The vast majority of people who catch this virus will live.

Here's part of the reason older people are more likely to die:

And a significant portion of people who end up in the ICU will probably end up with permanently impaired lung function.

Why on earth there are still f*ckwits downplaying this is completely beyond me.

You still didn't answer my question, where does it say about public requirements to wear masks and gloves?

Instead you chose to attack me personally, namely: my username, do I deny everything, and my views on the Moon Landing... This beggars belief really. It's exhausting and petty.

So, I'm very interested to know what PPE you would propose the public to employ when they have to go shopping? What are your specific recommendations? What grade respirators would you advise and so forth? Have you passed on your advice about PPE to Health Officials?

Also, what experience do you personally have in the utilisation of PPE during a pandemic of a novel virus?

In addition, in relation to the virus being airborne, that was one study, we do not know with 100% certainty that SARS-CoV-2 is airborne.

Initially we were informed it's not airborne, then one small laboratory study (conducted under laboratory conditions) illustrated some droplets to remain airborne for a few hours. Once again, this is just one study.

You'll probably ask do I work for the Defence Forces too, since I commended Naval Personnel for providing an ideal testing base for the virus in Cork.

Thank you once again to LE Eithne and Naval Personnel who will be carrying out the testing.

Naval Personnel are well versed and experienced in the use of PPE and coping with crisis situations.

Everyone in the Country is on a learning curve, please keep mindful of that before attacking me personally and insulting my intelligence.

I don't disagree with what you are saying.

You seem genuine. I'm sorry if I offend you, not my intention. There is evidence that it is airborne. It is a respiratory disease and other diseases like it are spread in this way. It is more infectious that the flu Ro number. Telling people that masks / respirators don't work when the COULD work is disingenuous. We don't need to know something with 100% certainty to make a decision. Otherwise we would never make a decision or get out of bed in the morning.

I've family who are healthcare workers. I was appalled at the level of PPE that were given to them. I did advise them to spend their own money in the interest of their safety. They did this.

As for going shopping. Why do we implement controls at all if there is no danger. You have reduce risk and break transmission chains.

Here's some things I would think are sensible given the risk. It's a lot of work but gives you an idea of why most people wouldn't get right, might sound mental but you asked.

don't go out if you don't have to.
if you do have to go out go to a supermarket when it is less busy
If you have a fp3 rated mask and or goggles. Wear them
Wear latex gloves if you have them but don't think you are invincible.
bring hand sanitizer in the car.
when you are shopping keep your distance as much as possible
only touch what you intend to pick up.
when you get back to the the car use the handsanitizer
stay in the mask as the shopping is essentially contaminated as are your clothes.
when you get home remove PPE in the correct manner. youtube it if unsure.
put clothes for washing
have a shower
sterilise shopping with disinfectant and or hot water and detergent.

Can you get the corona virus twice ?

ACitizenErased · 23-03-2020 07:15PM

Father works in a management position at the CUH. Prefabs are being installed right now to cater for more ICU beds. Old buildings are currently being renovated to raise capacity. ICU bed numbers are going to increase significantly.

I never really got the love for McDonalds here, independent chippers are a million times better and the price is pretty much the same.

The stupid spreaders need to be firmly dealt with.

You do realise the whole point of the measures put in place a week ago were to prevent us from going up that steep curve?

So far it would seem the answer is no.
Research is ongoing to try to determine how long you have immunity after recovering.

sounds like you had it alright... and got through it

so do you really need to do the test?

it sounds more hassle then its worth if you have to involve other people.

They do the test anyway to check for antibodies. If you've none you didn't the virus in the first place so still at risk. But I'm just emeldc on boards, not a doctor 🙄🙄

Do you see the 3000 sq km Wicklow Mountains National Park?

The range is the Wicklow mountains, a mountain range doesn't change name when a little bit of it is in another county.

Visit here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_Mountains

:P

The greatest threat to our health system in living memory and you're arguing about the name of a mountain range?

80 people attending a 21st. They shoulda been kept in the house when found instead of sent home. No use to the country any of them.
