FFS:mad:

One of Ireland's biggest geriatric rehabilitation hospitals is now battling to deal with eight confirmed and suspected cases of Covid-19.

The hospital complex - in the south - now threatens health chiefs with what a doctor described as “one of the nightmare scenarios we had hoped to avoid”.

Public health officials have effectively placed the complex in lockdown.

Don't forget that to keep the country moving we need fuel and mechanics. And those mechanics working in garages need a supply chain of parts behind them. And those supply chains needs office workers, purchasing, delivery vans, etc.

If every truck that breaks down is taken off the road, we come to a standstill on basics like food and medicine just as quickly as if we shut them down.

No one knows... the virus has only been known to science since the beginning of January.

Trump's lies still having an effect, it seems.

China knew about it in December. Didn't they lock up the doctor who tried to warn them. They knew even before that

Was just walking to the shop with my brother and sister and some old lady barks at us from behind to keep our distance from one another. We said we are siblings and live together and she says 'you are no exception, you are killing people', and storms off.

Hysteria going to some people's heads

No theyre not. Even at 650,000 cases that's only 10%. You need over 60% to achieve herd immunity.

650,000 is only 1% of the population of Italy.

You are forgetting all the invisible B2B that keep the country running.
Electricity, Gas, Water, Waste Collection, Recycling, Ports & Airports for freight, warehouses, couriers, banks/finance so you can get payed, government services so you can get pension/disability/unemployment benefits.

There will still be a million people going to work everyday.

'Chemists' is what us old folks call pharmacies...

No, I meant Pharmaceutical companies, sorry. It's often shortened to Pharma, as in pharmaceutical industry. Pharmacies also need to stay open. Chemists by the way are not pharmacists but it's funny that, in Ireland anyway, we still say we are going to the Chemists to get a prescription. For example, I'm a chemist but I can't fill prescriptions.

Does anyone know why Spain is just getting worse and worse? Didn't they more or less lock down ten days ago? My parents decided to take their chances staying put and now are basically sitting ducks while it worsens around them. If anything happens, they will be alone

Also read about Ryanair suspending flights for April and May so they are really stuck now, and will likely miss their first grandchild's birth too. I just don't understand how it got so bad over there when the authorities seem to be implementing the measures quite strictly

Yep basic maths is hard, if Italy wanted 'herd immunity' they'd have to go through what they just went through another 60 times.

Is any of these predictions of any use when our whole testing situation is a shambles at the minute?

If this is more contagious than the flu then Italy likely has a few million people infected.

Have they not tried to get home? I thought anyone from Spain was told to make arrangements last week?

We live in Europe, it’s completely different to how China for example handles these situations.

But they are not shops.

Those services are already classed as key and required to remain operating and would be the last to go.
