with the slower than expected growth, are we not pushing the peak out further?

The whole point of flattening is that there is no peak and we stay under the hospital maximum capacity

Well maybe calm down on the Trump stuff is all and concentrate a bit more on ourselves. The Americans can worry about Trump.

It’s a global crisis.
He’s leader of the west.
USA has most cases now.
It’s all relevant.

Trump may be a bumbling idiot but he is right the widespread lock downs can't go on indefinitely.

We will have to accept this illness as a fact of life sooner or later, something to be managed.

Hopefully things can start opening up again soon.

It will take months not the one or two weeks that he seems to be considering

Zimbabwean house party going on in an apartment below mine right now. Making a racket, with complete disregard for what everyone else in the area is doing. Also must be contravening social distancing guidelines.

The more symptoms I hear of the more I'm convinced it's like the strain of the flu that was going around just before Christmas.....only now it's worse. I'm wondering if it's that flu that might have mutated.

No

Jesus. Sorry. Is taking her home anywhere approaching possible?

I so wish, she needs 24 hour care, she lost all physical ability after a stroke. Everything..needs help with everything.

As other posters will know from the first thread, my own boy is disabled with very complex medical problems. He is 20. We have been in Lock-down long before most.

We are her only family bar her husband. We are caring for him and my own elderly father.

She should have been safe.

This isn't a Hollywood film. We are members of the EU and thousands of miles from America. There is no leader of the West. He isn't even control of America as it is a federal state with each state being a de facto country.

Send out a family message saying to stay away, no exceptions. Anyone who disagrees, set out the facts.

Well it’s clearly not possible, is it? Where are they going to magic 4.5m tests from, get them done and processed, before the numbers change massively again?!

Where is the prediction of Ireland's peak being mid April from? I had read it would take 12 weeks to peak so that would be mid to late May.

That would be with the flatten the curve effect. With no intervention, the peak would be even sooner.

Has anyone asked how the nursing homes are being staffed if staff go off sick with CV?

Is there now a ban on new residents entering nursing homes?

In fairness if it is found in any nursing home they should test everyone in it and tell there there next of kin if not that be illegal no. So I say if you have not heard from where your loved one is you should be ok. I know I am been too trusting here

That would be a complete waste of test kits and would delay testing for others. Testing is based on risk assessment,symptoms etc. Testing willy nilly helps no one
For example if a positive case appeared in one wing or unit of a nursing home it may make sense to test residents and staff that came into close contact with the positive case. Testing other residents in separate isolated wings makes no sense.

I agree to an extent but I think there has to come a turning point where the restrictions may cause more harm than good. There has to be a balance.

from_atozinc · 27-03-2020 12:34AM

In the last couple of days, people are getting more used to this whole scenario and for the most part doing as they are supposed to. Dare I say it, feeling more relaxed about it all.

I know cases are going up but based on the trend so far, we will not reach the 15,000 figure mentioned for end of month

Is this all a false sense of security

Have we even started the hardship here really and will yet see a massive surge etc

Director of Operations of the HSE on Prime Time tonight. It sounds plausible : six weeks of growth followed by six weeks of decline, on a par with what happened in China, Hong Kong, S.Korea, Singapore etc.

No there is no ban. Public health advice however states that there should be no admissions during an outbreak.

Where staff are missing nursing homes will need to use agency staff, same as hospitals

This obsession leads to a lack of scrutiny into our own affairs. So it is serious point.

It's also part of a wider movement which will see us become disconnected from Europe and lead ultimately to us leaving the EU.

Who mentioned the Eu?
I said the west, as in western countries.
Trump is the president of the USA, it’s his responsibility.
He’s in charge.
What the hell are you on about?

Yep. One of my aunts was a nurse in southern England in late WW2 when the V1 & V2 rockets started landing. The psychological impact of them on many people was actually worse than the risk of being killed. The V2’s were the worst, absolutely no warning before impact. Its was one of the many burdens people put up with back then. Now unfortunately its our time to face adversity and try to stand up to it.

Following on from my post yesterday, my mother in law passed away with it today. She had underlying conditions (cancer and diabetes) but was scarily quick how it took hold.

Nurses were an absolute joy to deal with, gave great updates etc.. fully in line with family not being able to be present. Her husband and daughter only spoke with her at 10am and she was chatting to them over the phone with the aid of one of the nurses in her full PPE. She was actually terrified which was the saddest thing. But she was alert and hopeful. By 1pm she was gone, before she had even made it off isolation. We were told it happened very quickly. Its very f*cking real.

I hear ya, as Ciara Kelly would say. Hubby and I hardly cross the door. Son no. 1 takes off every morning at 6 am, for a day's fishing, to a secluded spot, Son no 2 and his gf are "isolating" between her house and ours. My nerves are wrecked. On the plus side, we're all doing more stuff together. Last night we played "Scattergories" and had a great laugh. Netflix tonight and Monopoly tomorrow night. Jeez, those "Happy New Year" wishes on January 1st take on a whole new meaning now.

I really would like some more analysis on this. These homes can't get agency staff at the best of times and they are constantly under staffed.
