Glad you think someone having the virus is funny.

I wish him all the best and hope he fights off this terrible illness.

Oh stop being so preachy.

He's the man who said he'd send the virus packing in 12 weeks stalled on bringing in restrictions, and I think his decisions will ultimately kill thousands of people.

So I don't wish him ill-wil but it is ironic that he got it and i'm not the only one finds it.

Reports coming in that a 16 year old Girl in France with no previous health issues has died after contracting Covid19 If these reports are accurate then it's getting scarier by the day now

What has their testing shown? I didn't know they did mass testing.

Iceland is testing all of it's population, it is why so far such a small country has one of the highest number of recorded cases per capita in the world. SO far Iceland's tests have shown that around half were asymptomatic which is interesting, though I dont know if that means they were just asympatomatic and incuabting or they will never show symptoms

TBH I wouldn't wish it on anyone, even Trump.

But the way he is acting if he were to disappear lives will be saved.

It's sad but it's also exceptionally rare.

It was an illegal market. The local party and medical chiefs were sacked.

It's now illegal to sell wild animals for food, but it wasn't illegal when this nonsense started there. Neither were the many thousands of such markets in China. It''l be interesting to see how they actually clamp down on this backwards practice, especially with so much dirty money behind them.

And the sackings were the usual party optics. The other usual party optics was the silencing of doctors and others who tried to highlight and warn about this outbreak. But yeah the Party is only great. :rolleyes:

The more I read of your stuff the more I think of the Chinese version of Israel's online apologists.

Of course the West treats it's truth tellers and whistle-blowers far better than that !

Any rate for requiring hospital / ventilator?

He's the decision maker there. I for one am glad to see him exposed to some of the consequences of his decisions. Of course, he won't be on a trolley in a makeshift ward but it might make the fucker think twice about the consequences for the plebs of his actions and decisions the next time.

Or maybe it won't and he still won't care. Who knows.

This is baffling to me. Why are they unique in their thinking?

Ski Reports are hopping with people, night trains still running with people sharing rooms to get to the resorts. Music festivals splitting stages to conform with the 500 people gathering max rule etc etc. Pubs restaurants,gyms open with only restriction of no standing.

It just seems totally bizarre to me.

Back from a supervalu in a small Laois town.

Way too many people inside, the aisles are packed. People tripping over themselves.

I thought the same during the week. I was like super sonic running around the isles to avoid people. They need to limit the number of people going in. There was far too many people chatting in isles. Shop assistant said there was a lot of older people coming in everyday and really weren’t getting the message.

There will always be these irregular cases. Some young people die of the flu but we never hear about it. This poor girl had a very unlikely reaction so lets not build it into something widespread as the stats don’t support it.

He will get over it, think he is invincible and expect the same from the great unwashed.

It's a good job he doesn't see his kids.

We shouldn't be complacent, but the media will tend to focus more heavily on the novel and exceptional cases. They're as rare as the stats suggest, but as the case count increases, we'l obviously see more of this.

from_atozinc · 27-03-2020 12:41PM

when do ye learned people think that the surge will happen in Ireland?

a week from now, 2 weeks?
I guess we haven't really even started here yet, when you see them preparing temporary morgues and all this and more ICU beds etc

The important thing is they acted decisively and that they, Singapore, South Korea and Hong Kong produced endless data and models on how it could be successfully fought and contained.

Contrast their actions and directives with those of the EU leadership for example who are only now getting involved when its much too late.

We can still learn lessons such as how Singapore and China deal with incoming flights to stop a second wave spread.

Sweden are a very foolish nation, they try so hard not to offend someone and might see telling people they cant congregate as hurting those peoples feelings.

At the time of testing they had no symptoms. Maybe they wont show, but just because they didnt when they were tested doesnt mean they wouldnt develop

Any source on the info they are testing the entire population? Have seen it mentioned but found no numbers

Deaths more than doubled in 24 hours.

That's not a great sign.

Could it be the case that very cold or freezing conditions can kill off the virus in the environment maybe?

I use very little cash now more and more, almost entirely since about the start of the year.

Paying €3 in coins for the weekly astro game is about the height of what I need cash for. Maybe if I go for pints as constantly tapping on the card is a nuisance but sometimes pubs will let me start a tab if they know me. Or getting a taxi.

I had gotten used to having very little cash on me, even before this pandemic and recommendation to use less cash.

You have the choice, which is the point. For convenience, using a card is fine, but getting rid of cash completely means you have less control. You end up just being digits on a bank computer.

Seriously, people need to be very careful in what they wish for and the likes of a cashless society won't be of any real benefit to the man in the street.
