There’s an old saying about babies and bath water. If the result of this is a wrecked economy then we will have a wrecked health service and a wrecked society as well.
I think it is vital to keep the economy going as much as possible while taking sensible precautions What’s going to happen when the tax money runs out? We have seen in the recent past what economic devastation does to a society. It’s relatively easy to shut things down, it’s not so easy to get things started again.

We might come out of this with a slightly weaker economy, but a stronger and more united society... where people care more about each other and a bit less about what's in their bank account!

The race to the bottom, is one of the core reasons that this virus even came into existence on the first place! China being the main area of the world that has to respond to our ever increasing consumerism!

Absolutely disgraceful what's happening today. I have been showing symptoms sweating and coughing my lungs hurt so much. Told I have to reply for test. Waiting 5 days already. Had Pneumonia 12 months ago and have underlying autoimmune disorder.

Tears are running down my face as i type this. I can't believe it

Their death rate is virtually identical to ours.

Is it compared to our population level? That is good news if that is the case and I would be optimistic that we may have this under control if there is not a big increase. If this goes well for Ireland Leo Varadkar will go down in history for leading us through this.

What do you mean? It hasn’t spiked in Germany or in Ireland ?

Why does Germany have such a low death rate when they clearly have a lot or cases?

What is Germany doing to manage this so well and is there parts of that model that we can follow ?

People think they're hiding or smudging the figures. Appratntly, if you're terminally ill and you pass away, and a postmortem shows you also had the virus, they're not putting that down as cause of death.

I personally think that would do more harm than good to their reputation. They're seen as the leading democracy in the EU, why risk that with this.

Very stressful for you, but please try and rest as much as you can, ring again to set up test. If you are really struggling ring for an ambulance and say you are waiting for testing so they can be prepared.

If someone dies with the virus but also has another underlying health issues they are putting that down as cause of death ,We are doing the opposite

I think so, too.

The Robert Koch daily report for Germany can be downloaded from this page:https://www.rki.de/DE/Content/InfAZ/N/Neuartiges_Coronavirus/Situationsberichte/Gesamt.html

The report in German shows that they have a low hospitalisation rate:
Hospitalization was reported in 1,783 of the 19,797 reported COVID-19 cases (9%).

The English version gives the age split:

15,122 are male (55%) and 12,222 female (45%).

In total, 202 children under the age of 5,570 children aged 5 to 14 years, 21,373 persons aged 15 to 59 years and 5,165 persons 60 years and older (see Figure 2).

The age of 126 notified cases is unknown. The median age is 47 years.

Did you talk to a doctor and self isolate. If not you are being totally irresponsible.

It’s not an either/or situation. We have to strike a balance. What are we going to do if a new strain of flu emerges next winter? Shut down the economy again? Covid-19 is not going away anytime soon, if ever. We just have to manage it like all the other health threats that exist around us all the time.

Have you watched TV at all in the last month ?

The whole idea is to stop this peaking at the moment or end up with it totally out of control (Italy ) ,

Literally the most important thing at the moment is stop the spike , We can think about the economy after that ,

Why is Simon Harris still in a job??

3 weeks ago he told us all that we were not at risk of the Pandemic that we now have.

Yet he is still in his job, that We are paying for!

Call for him to be replaced!!!

Yes, it is when you compare the number of people who have the virus vs the number of people who have died in the respective countries. For both Ireland and Germany it is around 0.5% so far. Figures from here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Same as that. A lot of unnecessary cases blocking up the system.

Why don't they just come out and say that then?

This is about massaging numbers.

Yet the hospitals will still be overwhelmed. That can't be hidden.

We were told everyone who was referred would be tested. We have spent a fortune on testing sites around the country.

Now we are told hardly anyone is going to be tested.

Great news, we'll only have a handful of cases.

If you don't test there is no problem by default. That's the theory anyway.

You've really got to wonder about all of the idiots who came back from Spain etc. Whether they've had the cop on to self isolate when they didn't have the cop on two weeks previous to not go abroad.
Spain is becoming a real European worry now. Some of that worry must be coming our way also.

Definitely a lot didn't. I was in a Tesco Extra the Friday the school's shut and the cashier remarked she was glad she went on her holiday when she did, came back from Barcelona on Sunday. Didn't seem to have a notion she might have caught it and shouldn't be working in close contact with the public. Had to bin all my uncovered veg as she had touched them.

Should all countries not be recording information in the same way so it is clear and consistent?

For example, if someone with asthma passes away from being infected with Covid19 is that not the cause of death as opposed to asthma? They would have been able to live with asthma so I don’t understand why this is being classified as cause of death

I would have thought people had to report deaths related that tested positive for Covid19.

I would think so, too.

it's not just Germany.

France is also not counting in the total number the elderly who have been dying in the nursing homes (EPHAD).

asking the EU to develop common guidelines to classify the deaths:

Yeah I know someone who is 100% sure he got Coronavirus over 2 weeks ago. He had all the symptoms and isolated himself completely. His GP told him he was on the testing list but he never got the visit despite several reminders to/by GP. He recovered ok and still has not been tested.

To put unnecesary strain on already strained services is what is irresponsible. Exactly what you are advocating here.
