Hydrogen peroxide works as well, but that'll **** up your clothes.

Formaldehyde as well.

Or wear an apron.

Maybe so now, but the UK can and will create more ICU beds.
Ireland can not.

Sure you only have to say you're going to the shops, they'll be no fines.

Aye just got stopped by the Gardai, told them I was going to the Chemist, was actually just popping to the Supermarket for a shop, fair play to them for asking, but there's not much they can do if you just say Pharmacy or Supermarket. Unless they pull you over on the M50

An online friend of mine in America with terminal brain cancer got this letter from her hospital. She’s 40. I hope things don’t get bad in her home state and that she doesn’t catch coronavirus. Shit like that is just so scary. To see it written starkly like that is so shocking. I understand the rationale but holy living fuck. And she’s a pretty long-term survivor so she could have a few more years left.

How can they, without a constant supply of the much needed ventilators it's not much use having an ICU bed.

Went for my test earlier. Have seen Gardai out this morning carrying out checks on people who are out and about. On the way back went through a checkpoint - they were stopping everyone on the road- drivers, cyclists, runners, walkers.

I just put the window down a crack and held up my mask in front of my mouth and said I was on the way back from the test. “Grand, take care”.

Didn’t catch the conversations they were having with others.

All in all I was glad to be seeing it policed in some way.

Well that all we fecking need now. Traffic backed up and a Guard spreading the love to each and every one.

No, it most certainly isn't but some in the insurance and medical industries would love to replicate the price gouging utter bastards of the American model elsewhere.

One thing about this crisis, it just shows how absolutely petrified by death we all are. Doesn’t matter if you’re 90 or 40, once you reach the age where the tho7ht of mortality becomes a part of your immediate future, we will do everything to stop it, including shutting down whole economies leading to economic catastrophe so a 90 year old can live a few more months in a nursing home.

We shouldn’t fear death, will come to us all but humanity acts as if death is not a universal experience. Just have to hope there is something beyond.

We will of course fear death when it is somewhat preventable and it's long before our time.

1) We are not all petrified by death. I'm not. It happens to all of us.
2) Based on UK figures, the average 90 year old man can expect another 4.1 years of life and woman, 4.7 years of life. That's way more than just a "few more months in a nursing home".
3) Nobody acts like death is not a universal experience. People are acting like they want to keep as many people alive as possible. If the hospitals are full of covid19 patients, how do you expect people with other diseases and turns to be treated? Or are you actually suggesting that everyone ill with covid19 should be just left somewhere to die without treatment?

1. I wouldn’t want to be in a nursing home
2. If I was 90 I would be scared but accept that I’ve had a long and good life and probably would want to be out of said nursing home

How do you know I’m heartless. Humanity does act as if death won’t come to us all. And that’s what Has stood out to me from all of this. Doesn’t mean it isn’t sad or tragic or that ai want people to die

Believe it or not most people want to see their 90 year old relatives live. And most 90 year old's want to see their grand-kids move through life.

I have a relative close to 90 still full of life ,who still does some farming and makes the point of buying himself a brand new car every year. The farming keeps him going.

There are some extraordinarily fit and healthy elderly out there. These people gave so much to the country during their lives, so treat them with the dignity they deserve.

People saying we should sign a deal with the UK to take some of our patients when it's more likely we'd end up having to import some of the herd.

Yeah they shouldn't bother otherwise anyway, control the parking spots out near the beaches and walks and parks, that's the whole point of it and where any excuse won't work

So the poor lady is being triaged even before she reaches the hospital !

A lot of Americans have their health insurance tied to their employment. With the current downturn, the loss of the job also means loss of health insurance and an average bill of $35,000 for Covid treatment.

If ICU is involved in the treatment the cost becomes astronomical for the average individual.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/mar/27/coronavirus-pandemic-americans-health-insurance

Ever since Mary Harney started the rush to private medicine in this country, the number of private hospitals has mushroomed and the public hospitals have been starved of resources.

Are we sure this privatized medicine is the right course for Ireland ?

Personally, I know my own answer to that. But I think after all of this nonsense is over, others may be having a serious rethink about privatised health care.

completedit · 28-03-2020 01:36PM

Good point. Didn’t think about it like that. Get the whole at capacity and it’s not just people with Corona Virus who are suffering(even said so much in the last thread) but deducting my argument to its natural end I’m left with deciding whether I believe someone critical with Corona should be left untreated which I obviously don’t.

THey are advised to cocoon so to speak but what they choose to do is up to them once its withing 2km radius of their house apart from shopping and medicine

Do you realize a young 16 year old died in France? Australia is diagnosing coronavirus in kids, seems like they aren't immune after all.

This seems to be the case.

Shielding, or cocooning, is to be introduced for everyone over 70 years of age and other vulnerable categories of people, effectively requiring them to stay at home.
