    Trumps a moron who should never be president.

    But CNN spend all day attacking Trump on purpose, lets not pretend they don't have an agenda, they do, Jeffrey Zucker admitted he wanted to destroy Trump.

    But Trump should be above all that, Obama was with Fox News.

    CNN love Trump, his constant mania has their viership and sponsorship running nicely, losing Trump would be a loss to them.

    As far I'm concerned, Fox is outrage porn for Trump fans and CNN/MSNBC is outrage porn for Trump haters. It benefits the American media outlets to provoke and incite it's viewership.

    I'll catch this presser tomorrow but he is so far out of his depth already that I can't see this pandemic being any way favourable to his election this year.

    Like other leaders before, he’ll quickly change his mind when the death count starts growing at a scary rate. And that is coming rather soon.

    A Chinese takeaway in Cabra donated 5,000 masks to the HSE - and are giving out masks to customers - mind boggling how some people are getting their hands on this stuff -

    Sent by friends in China? What's the big deal/what are you implying?

    Getting out and fining them would be better use of resources.

    I think he was implying if individual people can get the masks, why can't the government

    The usual Yuman Rights Association whingers are cooped up in their respective D4 pads not feeling great after their ski trips.

    Go for it cops. Rain down the blows. It's been a long time coming and may be a long time gone.

    I'm saying there is a shortage of PPe in Ireland, yet anybody - whether it's a chinese shop, or McGregor seems to be able to just buy them from China, yet we have nurse going onto Social media and saying that they don't have equipment in hospitals - seems a little at odds, as to why hospitals can't just buy directly

    The government will need millions, can't just get that amount posted over like anyone could get 5000 posted to them.

    Why would you go and sit in a and e for 14 hours if nothing was wrong with you?

    Does a and e function fine Monday to Thursday then?

    The drunks would be more likely at the weekend

    A 10 hour wait on a wednesday instead of 14 on a Saturday. They don't cope.

    Big problem is the gp's just flogging people out the door. And not making a decision on them.. clogging up A and E . But in my opinion if you're sick you go to hospital. Pandemic or not. So there has to be a nice amount of people one way or the other deciding not to go and I'd say it's simply that they don't need too

    Maybe the ones being handed out aren't the standard/type required for medical purposes.

    I'd imagine your local hardware shop probably still has plenty of dust masks.

    I didn't mean literally had nothing, but they are requesting more - assumes this means that they are running low.

    It was a consultant in St. James who posted the video on social media

    Trump is not a politician though and has no interest in pretending to be. He is having the time of his life at those media events.

    I’m not sure if he is having any real impact on the US response to the virus. I assume he is more or less just following the advice he is been given.

    Look, everyone knows the Easter thing is nonsense. It’s just typical trump bluster. It doesn’t really matter.

    He's not following the correct procedures to allow the crisis be handled properly. For example rather than having the federal government buy the ppe and drive down price by bulk buying he instead delegates that to the states and they end up bidding against one another. All because of personality clashes

    The man is an imbecile

    They tested an entire town in Italy and found that this was not the case there, there was not a huge amount of asymptomatic cases, this is an Oxford report that seems to be complete BS.


    https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-the-coronavirus-as-deadly-as-they-say-11585088464
    Next, the northeastern Italian town of Vò, near the provincial capital of Padua. On March 6, all 3,300 people of Vò were tested, and 90 were positive, a prevalence of 2.7%. Applying that prevalence to the whole province (population 955,000), which had 198 reported cases, suggests there were actually 26,000 infections at that time. That’s more than 130-fold the number of actual reported cases. Since Italy’s case fatality rate of 8% is estimated using the confirmed cases, the real fatality rate could in fact be closer to 0.06%.

    Award winning German microbiologist - one of most cited research scientists in Germany - says the covid hysteria is nonsense.

    By changing the testing criteria will this not skew any future curve that is measured against the HSE test figures?

    I thought we were doing a great job in this regard. National stadia provided as testing centres, drafting in the army, government green-lighting whatever was needed. It just seems again the HSE cannot execute the management of what is necessary even when every resource is provided.

    What do you mean? The testing criteria was too loose. They were testing lots but only getting 6% positive which is a huge waste of resources. GPs were the cause of the huge backlog of people waiting for tests. They were expected to triage, but sent every hypochondriac that has a sniffle into the queue.

    Some hospital staff are using those elsewhere. Most of the masks people are wearing are not even fit for medical use.

    How long would a mask last - are we talking a different mask for each patient you come in contact with?

    On Thomas St the other day and a certain cohort of shops all suddenly had masks available
