    The English figures haven't been published yet today, for some mysterious reason.

    they were published a couple of hours ago. 87 deaths today I think

    i said not everyone can be a medical doctor. nothing you have said proves otherwise.

    You said anyone could get a Phd, which is absolute rubbish.

    Like it's great that they want to come home - but imagine if some doctors working in hospital in Ireland just decided to go straight back to Oz with no notice . I don't think we would be too happy.

    They're yesterday's figures

    Spain thought they'd never be like Italy. The Uk who are next in line also. Or the US

    Given that we have at the moment and had until recently direct flights to and from all these countries with no checks at our airports and no mandatory isolation for those coming from there, it seems likely we could be as bad as them two weeks from now.

    But they are all densely populated countries or at least heavily urbanised countries. Two weeks ago I wouldn't have dreamed of suggesting we would be different from those countries but we have to start investigating how we compare to other countries when it comes to virus like the flu this should give is some indication of how we will be affected by this.

    I'm not a fan of FG but I had a bit of a soft spot for Simon Harris though. I always thought he was thrown into the deep end and many people were and are too critical of him. I like him and he comes across very well here and genuine and sincere. I hope he minds himself during this sh1tstorm of a crisis and hopefully he has someone at home looking after him too.

    I know that we wouldn't be happy about it, but I think it's their choice.
    Some of them are probably terrified for their own families and want to be in their home countries.

    Okay. The reporting is pretty rubbish

    If that's right then 235 and 18% increase.

    I see a litre of Hand Sanitizer for sale in a chemist for 30 quid today

    Chemists have been ripping us off for decades now, all their christmases have come together now.

    It'll be on in a minute or two anyway.

    Does Wales have a high proportion of elderly people, English who retired there? This explains their relatively high death rate so far.

    Stereophonic having a concert on 14th March in Cardiff can’t have helped

    No rip off, you can thank the silly greedy ***** who were out bulk buying it for the increase in prices.

    Be good if celebrities who can afford it will follow suit.

    Would be helpful. Would also be more helpful if those non-resident for tax purposes paid their taxes. Fairer society and more money for health services.

    I know there is also an issue about how the HSE spends the money.

    187 new cases in uk today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,817 ✭✭✭SleetAndSnow


    Dublin up to 659 cases according to that link above, hse tracker. Cork on 133. Up to 23rd

    Just watched Simon Harris' tweet there. The man is clearly giving 110%. Fair play to him.
    I've no anti government agenda nor am I a Fine Gael / Conor McGregor fan boy.
    Just want transparency. Doctors and nurses essentially begging for PPE in one of the smartest / richest countries in the world demands attention.

    That can't he right, has to be a much higher figure.

    The last thing we need now is a change of government right smack in the middle of this crisis.

    Why? I think the people in situ are managing the situation as exists quite well. I would have a few issues with initial response but things seem to be managed as well as anyone could. Martin sticking his tired old head in won't help much
