    Ireland has been doing great, lets get real, every town and city in Ireland is a ghost town, yes a few sneaky pups open in rural places, and people going on trips to scenic areas, but that's a drop in the ocean to what we have achieved regarding distancing .
    We haven't seen '' sardine in a tin'' type gathering in Ireland, like we've seen in the UK in the past two weeks.

    But you can only lockdown for three weeks or so before people start to go stir crazy and just disobey it. There are 25 in ICU beds at the minute with Covid 19, that's a manageable number. As that number starts to rise, yes you tighten restrictions but not when it isn't nessesery yet.


    Embrace the NEET lifestyle - they don't get cabin fever at all.


    They have an evolutionary advantage.

    5000 case surge in New York:

    https://www.mediaite.com/tv/cuomo-new-york-now-has-more-than-half-of-coronavirus-cases-in-u-s-after-surge-of-5000-cases/

    Surely the rest of the states will follow.

    You and Leo would make a good team:

    "But Mr Varadkar also said that people should not be berated for going to places that were crowded at the weekend.

    He said they probably did not realise until they turned up there and said that he believed most people were observing social distancing"

    That's the best thing he could have said. People losing their nerve and descending into outbursts at the behaviour of strangers is for internet commenters, not the leader of a country.

    Couldnt you say the same for people that lost their jobs during the week, couldn't they plant a few spuds instead of looking for a handout from the government.

    I am 6 months in remission from my chronic cancer and people in the UK with the same cancer as I are getting text messages from the NHS telling them that they can't leave their houses/apartments for 12 weeks. One of the people who received the text is 5 years in remission.

    Ireland acted too late, that is why we have been warned of up to 15k by the end of the month.
    We have not done a good job, it was airlines who stopped flights from places like Italy - it was not our government. There was no advice to people who then decided to continue go to Cheltenham, people were going on holiday as usual.
    Everything was late for us and its why its out of control on here like elsewhere, most acted too late and people who praise governments for how they reacted are being blind that mostgovernments have simply failed, including our own government and this is why it is out of control in most countries.

    my missus works in an old peoples home, and while no visitors are allowed in, the staff do not wear masks...seemingly no need as the virus isnt in the hospital and they have been told it would only panic the patients.
    its confused me a bit...if the virus got in, to my understanding it would be in at least a couple of days before symptoms showed....and is potentially panicing a patient worse than potentially passing on the virus if you had it.
    maybe i'm looking at it wrong.
    cant really have a good conversation with missus over it as shes working long hours and tired and gets irritated with me trying to debate anything to do with the virus with her.
    They should wear masks during the flu season regardless. Japan is far ahead in this respect.

    Yeah they have said it'll take a bit. This new regime is from today , 50 centres now operating and 6 labs. Hope you find out soon and it's negative.

    But the question is are we included in the tested numbers? even though we've had no results?

    The HSE doc earlier couldn't answer how long the sample was viable for, we could end up with thousands needing tested again. I think we have done well so far but they need to start giving clear numbers.

    I saw a graphic from New York yesterday, the exact number of tests conducted in each area of the city.

    Most of those cases have come in the last few days. 5% seem to need ICU treatment . It takes about 10 days to get to the stage where the 5% are going to need ICU. So those 25 are from 10 days ago in terms of when they started to feel ill. I think the ICU will start to fill up quickly from now on, hopefully we will be able to handle that surge. I think they should increase the amount of businesses that are shut so as to mitigate that surge.

    Some people prefer the knee-jerk reaction. People around me are trying harder and harder at distancing, even just in the last few days, it's really noticeable. Businesses have found ways to make it work for them (some of them, the rest have closed).
    I've said this before - it's a marathon, not a sprint. The Government are striking a balance between keeping control on it and not pushing people past the point they can stand. We are not China. They are an outlier in terms of how controlling of people's lives their Government is. If it happens, I would foresee total lockdown here to be for a short enough period only, and only if numbers start escalating out of control completely. For now, they are doing enough.

    Agree wholeheartedly with this. Do the least for the maximum result seems to be our approach. I imagine it would be quite difficult to maintain control of a full scale restriction of peoples freedom of movement. Also if it is done to early, the more... 'dimwitted' among us will see it as an over-reaction, flout the rules, and as such propagate the spread of this disease. This would then have the affect of making those same people see the restriction of movement as a failure, creating even more non compliance.

    It's a tough situation for the government to be in. It's as much understanding the disease, and how to suppress it's spread, while balancing that with the psychology of the population & how much their behaviour in a way that is sustainable. I do not envy any of the policy makers dealing with this.

    I'm not saying that a 'lockdown' isn't required at some point. It very well may be. All I know is that I am no epidemiologist. I will take my advice from those who know better. For those who think we are handling this poorly, please look at the figures, they say more than anything else. We're doing alright.

    Statistics can be anything you want.
    Ireland 4 deaths. UK 335 deaths.
    4 into 335 = 84
    5 million into 66 million = 13.2
    Pro rata, Ireland should have 26 deaths.
