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

    Ireland are doing so as you speak.

    Opening 20 bed ICU buildings that are being constructed in 10 days

    yes, flights to and from UK still happening anyway

    It doesn't matter at this stage, WHO have said as much, stop scaremongering and trying to distract from what's happening in Ireland.

    Would it be fair to blame China for not only being slow in containing it nationally but also more crucially letting it out to being a global disaster as we know it?

    It's not about allowing a 90 year old a few more months in a nursing home. This virus doesn't understand age. It's coming after all of us.

    While not condoning what he said, what you are saying is wrong.

    Genuine question.
    Family of 4, we want to go on a walk within 2km of the house for some brief exercise together. Are we allowed?

    Yes and people willlynch me here but it seemed leo recommended social distancing. I presume as groups block up footpaths and other trying to walk through would not be able to maintain social distancing properly and also strangers would not know you were a family

    Lynch away

    Soap! If it's just this virus that is your main concern. Just always leave it for a while, then rinse it off afterwards

    And wash at a high temperature, that might shrink your clothes too which is handy for when the food shortages kick in

    Ridiculous letting the thick fùck home. Should lock him up for the nations good. Dumb fùckwits like that are the whole problem.

    How would they when the minister for justice ordered the release of over 200 real criminals from our prisons last week.

    Not sure, but if you split into 2 pairs walking a distance apart then I would think it's ok

    Are the over 70s included with the rest of us as regards the 2 k radius, unless they need to shop?

    Or are over 70s advised you be cocooned completely?

    +1 and be bloody sure to wash your hands like your life depends on it when you bring your bins in. It just might. Wash before you leave them out too, to help protect them.


    They've asked us to disinfect the bin handles before and after emptying - easy enough with a bit of bleach solution, and probably something we should have been doing anyway.

    Just a thought -

    Would decompression units, as used by divers, assist breathing for people with respiratory problems?

    There may be quite a few of these units around, the navy, garda divers, commercial divers, sports divers, etc. surely have access in case of emergency

    Bear in mind that these units allow for various mixes so oxygen level could be increased

    The below is not about decompression, but related to diving.

    They are only allowing 2 in at a time apparently. A queue is inevitable in this situation.

    You can just not compare the resources that the UK has, vs the resources that Ireland has.
    I will just name the UK armed forces, they have got medics, can built camp hospitals...
    And the industrial sector in the UK.

    There is a a consortium called Ventilator Challenge UK, involving companies including Airbus, Rolls-Royce and Ford.
    Ireland just does not have all these industrial plants on its soil.

    But we have Medtronic who normally manufacture ventilators

    They can go back when the queues are shorter, supplies will still be there.

    Don't waste a day needlessly queuing.

    Just going on what Leo said maybe adults stay separate and walk with 1 kid each. Presuming it is two adults and two children in your family.

    are you joking the UK are going to be a many times worse than us, especially in London, they will have no extra capacity/

    Such an agreement would be reciprocal, not one way.

    We are already creating more ICU beds and I don't think we should be left on the hook of potentially having to import NHS patients.

    That's great, but it is one only plant, isn't it ?

    Think about all the factories still in the UK.
    Factories have been redeployed to produce goods that are useful in this epidemic.

    In France, perfume factories are now producing disinfectants; in Italy, textile factories are now producing hospital gowns and face marks.

    If you don't have many factories on your home soil, you can not redeploy them.
