Most Cancer treatments have been cancelled which is pretty poor. Is it now that someones life who has cancer is valued below that of someone with COVID. There was a 38yr old woman with 3 kids on the radio earlier who is only staying alive because of her chemo treatments but they have been cancelled indefinitely. Thats a bloody stupid trade off.

That's crazy, surely there must be more to the situation? From the sound of that they've condemned her to death.

Jesus christ, the ventilators aren't the problem. It's having trained staff that can use them that is the limiting factor.

No it isn't.

Ventilators are most definitely the problem.

How do I know this? the entire world are looking for more of them.

You have to be highly trained to insert a ventilator not to look after a patient on one.

As a sovereign nation state it doesn't need to be "allowed" to do it.

Not judging their action here; but just pointing that it is incorrect to think any entity can disallow Germany to do this.

What are we doing as a sovereign nation to protect our health care workers?

Someone on here said masks are manufacturer in Limerick. Ventilators built in Galway? God knows how many PCR machines we have in the state with all of the Pharma / biotech companies here? Tweet below saying Trinity have one. Are we really using all of our available resources?

Can't we divert things we produce to serve our need first.

By the way I agree with you but I think it's morally reprehensible to keep supply from those who need it most in the medical sense.

This throws light on the whole economics of healthcare. Shows the whole private / public thing to be a sham.

You can't profiteer on sick people.

Do we really produce ventilators?

Or do we assemble it?

If we bring in parts and put them together we all know what will happen if we keep productions to ourselves.

No one will ship the parts here.

Another day doing non essential admin work in an office today. a few are working from home but others like myself who have asked have been told it's too messy for yous to work at home. I've asked for staggered hours to try to stop being in with many, I'm 20 years with the company. I'm always in and never out sick. I have a family member with a serious underlying condition but I'm still told there's nothing they can do for me so it's 9-5 again tomorrow and the two bus journeys ontop of that. Really think I might go out on the sick with stress before I do actually get sick with the virus and bring it home. It's against everything I stand for but I'm just so upset at the thoughts of passing this on and my employers not helping me out at all. My job is work that could literally be left there for weeks and have no impact on anyone

That is so awful to hear, your Employers are dicks!!
Is there anywhere you can report them?
I would go out sick if I were you. Family is far more important.

I look at other countries' responses, near and far, and I am very thankful for me and my family to be where we are just now, as you should be too.

This thing has only started for us... other countries had cases before we did.

You have no idea how we are going to handle this crisis. Nobody does really!

Saying you are glad to be in this country, without having any clue how this will play out... it's a bit foolish tbh!

I hope you're right btw. As everyone should... but I'm not so sure everything is as rosy in the garden as many people think. Plenty of people are getting WAY ahead of themselves on this!

Dont worry, the hero paddy is saving the day single handed. He knows more than any politician.

Even though absolutely none of this falls under the CMOs watch. Sorry to keep giving this idiot so much air time but its blood boiling that he is basically attempting to be the voice of the nation while at the same time asking for the personal details of a covid patient to give to a foreign journalist. Sickening

Well then it will be all the GPs fault, as almost all requests for testing would have gone through them.

So what you're saying is that in the middle of a global pandemic, GPs were requesting spurious tests when people presented with a common cold.

Sounds highly unlikely to me, pal, but we're all loving your righteous anger
.

Again your underestimating how stupid the Irish public is, a lot of the referrals are over the phone you tell the gp what the symptoms everyone knows and he referees you to a test

Look people need to get smart the government aren't going to safe us
Its on us as people to save our self's ,
Everyone been told what to do countless times at this stage but still can't do it , not the governments fault its the peoples

Was in Tesco Rathmines today and in the carpark people were disposing of crate loads of beer bottles. Clearly people are taking the opportunity to have house parties!

Couples out walking two abrest holding hands making it impossible for others to observe 2 metres social distance while passing.

Irish people are incapable of doing the right thing unless the Guards force them to. Gombeen nation.

Mate. You obviously have never worked in a hospital. To look after a patient on a ventilator, you need specialist training. Tell me how you manage PEEP in a mechanically ventilated patient if it's so easy.

Again, no one wants to horde complete produce. Just enough.

There is a company in Galway making them and we are struggling to get ours in from China. Then that is fúcking nuts on every level.

You have obviously not looked at the news.

Why is New York currently demanding 25,000 of them if the problem as you stated isn't ventilators?

I think the government under estimated how ****ing stupid the Irish public is, way to many people just turning up with nothing more than a common cold and causing the whole process to go to its knees,

Its the peoples fault not the governments that they had to change testing strategy

All the d1ckheads that normally swamp A&E are now swamping the testing systems.

Naggdefy · 25-03-2020 05:21PM

'5210 new cases and 683 new deaths in Italy. Protezione Civile chief Borrelli, the person usually holding the daily press conference, is at home with a fever, while the former chief Bertolaso is now hospitalized in Milan after having tested positive to the virus'.

My God, grim reading.

Hi
sorry off topic but can someone please tell me if you subscribe to an apple podcast? What happens? Is there a fee? I couldn’t see any information.

Sofiztikated · 25-03-2020 05:22PM

We listened to the announcement yesterday, and one or two said "Oh, so back to normal in the office on Monday, so"

I immediately said "If I come in on Monday, and there's more than there is today, I'm turning on my heels and going home."

**** it, my job can be done from home, I went in because they haven't figured out a way to divert phones (mostly because general admin and IT have stayed away from the office.)

If you have such an issue with him why do you keep posting his stuff and going on about him.

TBH he does seem to be trying to do something, what are you doing?

italy had 2 daily decreases this week but a jump again yesterday. This is another decrease but until its a noticeable increase for a couple of weeks consistently theres no way they are over that hump yet.

South of Italy may be an issue now

Why don't you just spell out your agenda against the government - instead of searching for every twitter post trying to feed it
Maybe the conspiracy forum would be more suited to your ramblings

Busy? Quiet? I always remember what that doctor from Bergamo tweeted a couple of weeks back about going when its quiet. He considered it very important.

Busy, know a cashier working there and she has said although it has calmed down since the initial panic buying but she said theres never really been a calm time the past few weeks

I'll post what I want, its blood boiling, one minute hes looking for nurses personal details, the next hes having a dig at the people trying to move the country through this. What's that jumped up tosser ever done here ?
Get real, the man is on a pure agenda run.

What have I done, as a private citizen I've obeyed the social distancing, I stay home as much as possible, I've made myself available to volunteer groups locally and I've signed up to volunteer to the HSE.

And you?
