Whats the difference between a private hospital and a private factory?? They've already taken over private hospitals.

They don't have to take over anything.

Ban exports for 3 weeks like Germany did.

I can't really see how people have a problem with it, because of some vague consequence.

The consequences of not having enough PPE is real and dire.

No, I think you shouldn’t demand things without understanding the consequences. Who are we relying on for important goods or supplies that may be effected by us commandeering these supplies?

Build up our own reserves.

We have one company in Limerick churning out 2 millions masks a week who are exporting to Europe and the USA.

While we are struggling to get them in from China.

It's not a mental concept, they can still do it but they supply the Irish market first.

The more I listen to various spokespeople trying to explain what the new regime means for all of us, the more I come to the conclusion that the whole thing has not been thought through at all. We are committing economic suicide which will result in the eventual breakdown of our social fabric.
There really is no plan in place.

For a change the government's main objective is to save life's first and foremost
Everything else can wait and be dealt with after that ,

That's not the point i'm making. We're doing non essential work when we shouldn't be travelling for one. And two we could be redeployed to something more productive at this time.

You're only taking the angle you did to have a cut at me. Your earlier big list of whinges was judgemental BS. Know it all. You think you're better than everyone. The 'gombeens' as you call them.

You’re the one that’s whinging. If you don’t want to work say it to your supervisor instead of bitching and moaning that you are in work but in your opinion shouldn’t be.
As for the rest of the post i don’t think I’m better than anyone else.all I do know is I wasn’t one of the sheep queuing for a toilet roll or a Big Mac.

Attack the post not the poster. What are rules on bold font sorry if I've upset you.

Luckily we have an open internet. CCP did a good job suppressing information. It seems that slick press conferences , men in suits , and vague stats seem to give you comfort to not question anything.

Do you think we have enough PPE for front line staff?

There's also a rule about backseat modding. If you have a problem with any of my posts, report them.

I don't know if we have enough PPE, but I do know that efforts to ensure that we do have enough equipment for this crisis have been on-going for weeks and months. Way before you even started posting in these threads.

It's going to make a huge difference to the folks trying to isolate from others, in a very confined space. Having people isolate for weeks on end, in cramped spaces is seriously detrimental to mental health and shouldn't be done if it isn't absolute necessary. Think of one parent stuck in a room for weeks trying to avoid passing to others, when they may not even have it, but can't get tested.

Yeah this is a big problem. It people don’t get confirmation they actually have it they will become too frustrated to isolate themselves properly. Some will do as they are meant to but others might nip out for a walk or drive when it’s quiet when they are not meant to leave the house at all.

At this stage some people may not even bother ringing to get the test as they’ll be told to stay inside for two weeks but not get confirmation. It is challenging for some people to do this particularly if they’ve no support to help out with things they need. So testing is important from this point of view
