How about making mobile homes available - 1 person dwelling, they are generally in isolated areas with electricity and water - quiet areas so anyone isolating could isolate in peace away from family without the possibility of spreading in their immediate family. Food and essentials could be delivered to them and there must be thousands of these mobile homes in Ireland and all unoccupied.

Makes complete sense

Hospital worker in self isolation after been spat at by a person with covid 19.

**** me what happened to this country.

Lock the "patient" up in a room with a bucket and a tap and a few tins of dog food.

If they are still alive in a week, take them out and straight to the barracks.

They don't have the capacity to deal with the annual winter flu. The hse is not designed to deal with a pandemic. Absolutely stretched to the wire . They are doing their best.

The wait time for testing is a concern however. The system is beginning to creak

Oh they do.

Its people clogging up the A and E during the flu season that means they are stretched.

As today showed, 12 people waiting on trolleys, record low.

The HSE could deal with the flu season easily if idiots didn't go to A and E and waste everyones time.

Do you think the family wouldn't have been told by the hospital what she died from? Or do you think she died in a car crash and the family just lied?

Here's another:

And another:

Yes I understand there are individual cases, I never said there wasnt. My point is that it's very rare for young people to die, you cannot dispute these facts.

The mayor of Baltimore asked people to stop shooting each other to save hospital beds.

By the looks of things we really seem to have this under control which is fantastic. I don’t understand how we are doing so well as we didn’t restrict travel at all but I’m so happy to see our numbers aren’t shooting up.

I don’t understand the logic of not testing more people that may not have symptoms but Dr. Tony seems very level headed and confident that we have this under control.

Maybe it’s probably better to look at the numbers people that need hospitalisation and ICU as opposed to the tests? Our death rates is quite low.

My thoughts are with people who have lost loved ones.

Why would people allow infected people stay in their mobile homes?

Now to listen to Mirium criticise everything we as a county are trying to do.

igCorcaigh · 25-03-2020 10:40PM

It's an amazing thing to see so much private industry, like Dyson now, and others, committing resources to fight the pandemic.

Amazing too how private health care has been utilised and brought under the service of the state for this fight.

Sure didn't a few GAA/AFL players come home as well. Maybe they should declare war on us for that too.

Belgium is very concerning with 56 deaths today and a total of 178 deaths for a country with a population just over twice that of hours.
Holland had 80 deaths today and a total of 356 with a population almost four times ours
Sweden with twice our population had 22 deaths today and a total of 66 deaths
Denmark which has a population slightly more than ours has had a total of 34 deaths
Germany, which for a long time had a very low death rate, had 47 deaths today and a total of 206.
Scary stuff.
Hopefully we don't get a surge like any of the above countries. I would think that their health services would be rated as being better equipped than ours

F*ck that is scary when its put like that youd have to think their health service is superior to ours too

Some local NI journalist said Covid-19 was far scarier than the troubles and would surpass it.

Troubles - 3,600+
Coronavirus - 7

Maybe it will but I still thought that was a bizarre statement to make.

It was actually the health minister in Northern Ireland who first made that statement

Some of the statements are there to shock people into staying at home.

Also , the fatality rate at the end of the year is the one to look for.

Not sure if this was already posted

A teenage boy has been arrested in Waterford in connection with an investigation into people coughing on others on purpose.

He was picked up for a public order offence in Dungarvan on Monday.

Separately, a nurse says a group of teenagers surrounded and coughed on her while she was out for a run in Clontarf in Dublin.

and remarkably

Minister for Health Simon Harris has also said that such an incident had also happened to him.

It's not a bad idea if they were isolated sites but most are in caravan/ mobile home parks and they are on the list of closed business's.

It is amazing but you'd have to think the private hospitals are getting money out of it, but of course I'm delighted that they are made available.

I would think it's more a factor of time lag combined with public interventions?

Or not. I don't know. Just hoping we don't follow the European curve.
