This isn't aimed at you but I'm going to try and describe what I think is happening.


Every county in Ireland has 100 people who are particularly vulnerable. These are the ICU / deaths.

Week 1: It spreads a bit. Slow because of the incubation period.
Week 2: More people have it. Some people see their parents and give it to them. Small increase in pneumonia etc.
Week 3: A lot more people have it. Still mostly spreading it around the working age population.
..
.. Very few of the 100 extremely vulnerable in each county have been exposed.
..
Week 10: Loads and loads of people have it. People still barely even know about what this thing is. Now, these people see their parents, and unfortunately, there is simply so many people who have it that the extremely vulnerable start getting it from their kids and from each other.


It just makes sense to me right now that that is how it went down. Time will tell.

I think that's more or less what happens. It's how seriously and how quickly countries react that determines how health services can cope. Every country in the world is in trouble. However, by comparison to other western countries Britain, and to a greater degree the US, are unfortunately in deep sh1t.

Trump looks baffled.

You know it's ludicrous in here where people are blaming Trump for everything but it's poor Italy and poor Spain and not a word about their leaders.

I was showing how numbers can add up but the Supermarket is a risk.



How many unsanitized items does the checkout operator handle?

Are they wearing and changing gloves?

Do they all use sanitizer after each customer?

Does everyone keep their distance in the shop?

If you pay by cash how many have handled it beforehand or if by pin is that cleaned each time?
Is the store wiping down the trollies?


I know that all of the above are are risk items and care not being taken all the time. Any cases resulting would be nigh impossible to

prove and classed as community transmission.

If a checkout operator is using sanitiser after each customer why would they need gloves?

Customers should be using contactless as requested. Ideally phone's with Apple or Google Pay as €30 does not apply, accept for Tesco which archaic.

Also, most supermarkets have now put up pespex screens at the checkouts.

I think all supermarkets apart from Aldi have done decent jobs and are controlling crowds.
Up to the public now.

I never said it wasnt old , I said there are many other countries in Europe and Asia with comparable age demographics. The way its phrased, is as if this is just a problem for Italy, its only bad there because they have such an old population, when almost all of Europe has an enormous over 65+ demographic exactly like Italy

Sure. But Italy had a cluster that they couldn't get under control. Add in their unusually elderly population and you have a serious problem. The median age in Italy is 47. For example, in Ireland it is 36.

Becuase their leaders are doing their best in very difficult circumstances and were very quickly overwhelmed by the virus.

Trump delayed, denied and sneered at the virus. Refused to take action.

Played politics with it by calling it a Chinese virus or saying this is why they need borders.

Then he eventually had to back down as the numbers started ramping up. Assembled a team, huddle them all together on stage, shook hands with them al, whilst suspected of carrying the virus and pronounced what a great job he's done and gave himself a 10.

Now he's talking about stopping restrictions and claims they have a cure ready.

The man is dangerous, cares only about the economy and money and his hubris is costing people lies.

Spanish and Italian leaders are not like this, they're doing their best under extraordinary circumstances . They made mistakes but that is to be expected.

They''ve not made decisions that deliberately costs lives. Massive difference to Trump.

Is China retesting every few weeks or months?

Again people making massive deal about tiny numbers that are now coming into the country, mostly Irish citizens.

The virus is in our community now and spreading. That's where the fight should be.

People just to blame all the cases on those went to Cheltenham or Spain as if the infection rates were 100% there.

You went to Cheltenham didn’t you ?

No I didn't and it should never have gone ahead but the Brits were in denial than,

My point is though that people seem to think that every Irish person who came back was infected and they weren't. People are just looking for scapegoats.
