No wonder the news earlier today was talking about mortuaries

Impossible to do that unless all the other countries do it. They will the next time

mugsymugsy · 26-03-2020 10:12PM

If people can keep away from old ones, get health care workers tested asap and everyone else stay the fock indoors/social distancing.

Hopefully we can limit this!

That's just impossible.

No country can do that, apart from maybe The Vatican.

Among your Chinese peers / co-workers / friends, do they acknowledge the numbers of dead are much higher than the official figures or do they keep quiet?

No, there is open recognition that the true toll is beyond comprehension, but the official figures exist to avoid mass panic/panic buying and the like (though there was a bit of that in late January).

I’ve a parent in a nursing home. It’s awful. I can understand why they can’t say locations, but it would be so reassuring to know it’s not our area.

You'd be doing well to adopt some moderation yourself in this regard.

What is careful or controlled about criticising the HSE for not holding their briefing when suits you? You realise how busy they are?

Thats whats needed. But we cant do it.

And if 80% show relatively minor symptoms it reaches a stage where further testing does not achieve much. It's probably more a case of identifying those cases in the at risk groups who could deteriorate very rapidly without the right treatment.

This seems to get the updates quickly.

If visiting restricted then had to come from the workers, contact tracing surely will tell

Irish reporter Michael Lehane says “travellers” can’t be evicted, in relation to the emergency bill. Did he mean to say renters?

When Tony whinged saying nursing homes shouldn't have closed when they did showed up the stupidity of the HSE at the start. The start was the chance to prevent some of this.

I hear you A, but I can see why it's very difficult to keep a handle on nursing home and respite centre infections. It's a large group of vulnerable, elderly, often chronically ill people with lowered immunity mingling together and with off premises staff, who by the nature of things usually have to be very hands on with many of the folks living there. Washing, dressing, toiletries, feeding, administering meds etc. Triple all of that in folks with dementia. If something gets in and it can so easily do so, it's bloody hard to control. I find it hard to think of a worse environment for contagious disease to take hold and hard to stop spreading.

Evidently very. They shouldn't say the announcement will be at a particular time but the delay is obviously because they are up the walls. Working in communications - headless chicken time when there's a crisis.

No no. Iv been sanitising throughout the day. Regularly changing disposable gloves and keeping away from others. Iv been doing the right thing. I'm worried about the ability of the HSE to cope. There are some stark warnings starting to appear.

Don't misunderstand my comment. Iv definitely been doing my bit from the start

It's a little fcuked up how many people keep popping up to push new arguments for throwing granny under the bus. We get it, you like money, don't think you're personally in danger, and don't give a **** about other people. The pro-life, anti-euthanasia conservatives in the states are particularly egregious with their 'the elderly would rather die than see the young suffer an economic collapse. BS.

Its not just throwing granny under the bus, it's other people too - our parents, people with underlying conditions and there would be a lot of young people in this bracket too.

I personally think this is meaningless now. Ultimately this virus has spread worldwide, there are no countries unaffected. Look at the U.K. right beside us, there seems to be an awful lot of cases - diagnosed and undiagnosed. It is unprecedented, Ireland and western countries rely on air travel and ports to keep the supply chain going. They’re trying their best to slow the spread down & buy time, without society breaking down in the meantime. It’s very challenging, and I applaud the efforts of the people in charge.
I just hope they stay honest & keep the public informed.

There's already huge social pressure and official guidance to stay home as much as possible. Whether you want to call it a "campaign" or not.

But normal interaction between human beings can't be stigmatised indefinitely.

Interaction between human beings is not being stigmatised.

The normal reaction of humans is to avoid danger that cannot be fought.

Think "fight or flight".

Maybe it wasn't a pandemic when they left and there was no travel advice against going.

Either way you can't deny our citizens access to their own country.
