Not claiming to be a tough guy at all. I might take a beating in the process but I can guarantee the dickhead who coughs at me will be left with a few bruises in the process.

Oh would you look who it is....don’t you have free blowjobs to be handing out on halting sites?

OMG best comeback ever !!! Probably give someone a walk out of jail free card if you ever used it and they did you in!

Interestingly unsupervised little skanks were climbing over peoples walls into their back gardens the other day - someone called the gaurds and it must have been a quiet day because 3 squad cars turned up! First neighbours on the scene - the two whose teenagers were at it. Now that everyone has a phone and camera it really evens the lies out. Remember that Dutchman on the Aer Lingus flight - reckon they might make an example if caught - if they make it that far that is!!

Belter of a question by George Lee.

Good man.

"Are you happy with the level of PPE?"

Answer

"Advice goes beyond PPE. Extends to the their own basic hygiene advice / contact with patients"

Fuzzy answer at best.

I’ve been involved first hand this week again in a large hospital in Ireland. I’ve seen approx 60 patients with covid or ? Covid. I know some people here will scoff and call me a HSE shill and think I’m a wanker etc, but....

The effort we are making (As we should) is ****ing massive. This week we treated 2 patients with expensive experimental trial drugs and they both are cautiously improving. People are being flexible accommodating and generally sound to work with. I said initially that we really do have some fantastic docs here. I stand by that. There is a unique Irish balance of attitude, practicality, common sense and surprising smartness that we hide a lot of the time.

I sincerely hope it’s not a false optimism but I genuinely strive for us to look back at this and say we threw absolutely everything at it and we will compare favourably when we are looking back with the benefit of hindsight. It’s early early days. But we need to stop the exponential phase. Everybody needs to work really really hard at it.

Well done to you guys for the fantastic work you are doing, it's hugely appreciated.

There's a great nationwide team effort underway, everyone in the country (bar a few rotten apples) doing their best to beat down the virus.

Do they remove the recovered cases from the total, I would like to see what the total known active cases are.

Any of the tracking sites graph the active cases.

But that assumes there's nobody in ICU with any other illness. Of course there will still be all the usual heart attacks etc in ICU too.

Also since ICU beds are readily available (for the moment) would they keep even milder admissions there at the moment for better care and possible better isolation and less risks of deterioration?

The problem will come if we start to hit capacity and only the most serious can get into ICU.

I accentuate the facts. If there are 500 confirmed recoveries tomorrow i'll say so.

Stop being so negative.

Its does seem that italy has a high death rate when it comes to the flue. Well over 1% when the USA has about 0.1% so there may be something else going on in Italy.

Older population, on average. Italians live significantly longer.

Pretty much have to be a hospital case now to be tested. Something a lot of people were sneering at U.K. for a day or two ago. Suddenly this is the right way to go.

Our contact cases are now less. We have a negative result of 94%, so no point in wasting tests on someone that had it 8 days ago.

If your a mild case you know what to do now also. You should roughly know where you got it from as we are in isolation

They keep side stepping the question on it. They shut up shops etc on guesstimates not on a few hundred confirmed cases.

I stand to be corrected on this

I dunno,

Im by no means a violent person, but im pretty sure if a little scrote coughed in the face of my elderly parents, they'd be getting a punch very soon afterwards.

I don’t understand this, if someone is killed on the road you will have a name the following day at the latest why is this different.

The UK haven't updated their figures yet today anyway.

caveat emptor · 25-03-2020 08:17PM

Following the HSE testing logic ad nauseam.

In order to really maximise positive results we should test people who had respiratory symptoms and who subsequently died.
That would maximise the probability of a test being positive.

I think this could be used as a good indicator of how it will effect a country in general
It's not the flu but it infects like the flu does and causes similar complications. At present 2.5% of infected population seem to be in ICU this seems ok for now. At this time we are doing 100 times better than we could have hoped for.

Because it's not contagious and you won't have people blaming their family if you have a crash

How is his independence a source of humour?
You can’t trust any news report from the US because they are either completely behind or completely against trump.
RTE won’t criticise anyone ever.
The BBC go out of their way to be politically correct.

This guy gives his opinion on things, I don’t agree with all of it, but at least he’s one some side.

What’s he using his PayPal money for? Do you know?

His 'independence' isn't a source of humour. People being blind to the guy looking for cash off his videos, is mildly funny, while also maddening.

"What’s he using his PayPal money for? Do you know?" - well as he says:

"If you would like to donate to this project, please use the link below, thank you,"

i.e. if you want him to keep pumping out more and more of his musings that are not in his particular field of specialty, but like the misery and anxiety p0rn, please throw me a few quid.

Seen a grown man doing this as he walked behind two other pedestrians two days ago . I was walking towards them and noticed he was not covering his mouth/face as he coughed behind them and as he got closer he coughed directly at their necks as i ran across the street . It was a very nasty cough too .
The man in question here was coming from the direction of our local bus/train station and i had never seen him in town before either .
You just don't know who could be a super spreader ( read Kamikaze )
