Presume alcohol will still be on sale in supermarkets in UK?

Why would an Irish person be so keen to defend him for the last few years?

As for watching him, it at least gives us some perspective that no matter how bad we have it with politicians it could be a hell of a lot worse.

Don't think anyone is defending him. But there's far bigger idiots here, in the UK and the EU who get a free ride. We're not exactly overflowing with competent politicians this side of the Atlantic. The EU have been invisible in all this. Most people probably couldn't name the EU "president" at the moment.

But the Irish seem to get annoyed watching him? I laugh as well. Irish seem to get so serious about him.

Are they confused about which country they live in?

I guess a lot of Irish would have relations/friends over there.

Serious question and forgive me if it comes across as scare mongering.

But we are looking at the UK and saying they're fecked / got it wrong / put themselves into lockdown.

They have had 6650 cases
We have had 1,125

Their population 66.44 million
Our population 4.83 million

They've had a case for every 9990 people
We've had one for every 4293

But they're much worse off than us?

How?

Because they only test people who go to Hospital.

Compare the death rates ad ICU rates.

The older doctor talking on Claire Byrne - lol - great man. Talking about TB in the 50s and mayo only had 1 respirator.

Ken you absolute champ.

Thank you.

Claire Byrne looked well for someone getting over the illness. She did some coughing though and the sound of the chest was a bit hoarse.

It looks like a dreadful dose.

This makes for grim reading.

That Doctor in Claire Byrne Live - I like the cut of his jib. "you won't get it from the wind, you'll get it from other people, stay away from each other, get on with it, deal with it"

He pushes the economy for about 80% plus of these press conferences, fook the economy until you sort out the virus, then the economy will look after itself.

Hopefully Bressie stays isolated in all ways.

Pacing Mule · 24-03-2020 12:27AM

OK lads. It seems like my question has been asked many times before.

Much irony in the fact so many exasperated people saying it's been asked many times before posting what's already been posted many times before too

In all seriousness though. Haven't read all 9000 plus posts so far but have read many and hadn't seen it mentioned. Apologies for bringing it up again.

Thanks though for the answers. Understand now

USA did a good job closing travel early from China and Europe, when the MSM were calling him racist and people on here saying we should retaliate. At least now they can devise a plan state by state and have that extra leeway.

You're joking right? Sure he made the headlines, & got his approval rating up by banning travel, which is all that is important. But he let the few cases that had already leaked into the country fester.

Only recently has social distancing been encouraged. Too late. There never appeared to be a focus on contact tracing either, to control any clusters that sprung up. He didn't care. He made the 'swinging big d*ck' move of closing the border. The dimwits thought that was all that was needed to control the 'Chinese virus'. He's failed his people.

The main delay is at the labs isn't it?

Theres 40,000 people waiting to be swabbed.

Thats a backlog before they even get to a lab.

Surely for the tests they could train people to complete the tests in a day and put them out in the field.

What does that mean?

JP Liz V1 · 24-03-2020 12:28AM

Did Simon Harris say today that the contact tracing for confirmed positive cases was shortening so social distancing self isolating was working

BorneTobyWilde · 24-03-2020 12:29AM

UK never mentioned construction? Is that essential, all the B&Q's all the hardware yards, all the garden centres?

They did start two weeks ago. Things take time

Coronavirus has been front page news since at least January 1st. We were told by the HSE time and time again they were well prepared for something like Coronavirus. We are at the very bottom of the ramp when it comes to cases and their testing process is already essentially overstressed and broken.

Funsterdelux · 24-03-2020 12:29AM

Do you remember video phone reporting from warzones 20+ years ago, they were better than this skype sh3te
