In Italy they put the very elderly on ventilators for 12 and more days and there they lay suffering and they all died in the end, alone without any comfort.

How can people continue to ignore the begging for social distancing, to insist it's an over reaction and to blather on about how it's making it worse (they're right ya see, not the WHO) and to shoe-horn in their own political agendas?

Gonna be interesting to see how many factories try to bend the rules to stay open especially when it seems to be self regulated you basically deem yourself essential by your own interpretation of the list and issue your employees with a letter. For eg. I wouldn't imagine a window manufacturer or a Boat builder would be essential but you could make the list suit

It may not have gotten into the nursing home.

This virus was always going to get here. There is now not a single country in the World without it, the entire point of a lockdown is to time it to have a real effect. Pointless doing it earlier because people would have a tendency to ignore (as some fools still want to) thus make it ineffective.

Time it to late and you get an overwhelmed health service ala Italy and Spain.

Judging on the rate of increase we seem to have our timing correct, giving our health service some chance of control. We are still however 10 to 14 months from a vaccine.

Neighbours near me had visitors all day, including children. Cluster waiting to happen. 3 cars currently. They won’t change.

The strongest vodka is 40% alcohol, and you need 65%.
*LISTERINE SERVES. It is 65% alcohol.

That bit is clearly untrue, Listerine is not 65% alcohol.
So there's a good chance the rest is bollox as well.

Nope I'm a completely realistic poster have been since day one and like I've always said I had hoped I was wrong about everything.

Yeah but didn't you also have a tantrum, get in a strop and get subsequently banned?

Saying, "It's getting away from them" is not being realistic because of the number of deaths in one day.

Did they ever clarify if the ICU figures are current or cumulative?

That is no excuse, most counties have had hospital/nursing home outbreaks anyway

It's been reported that Italy's nursing home deaths are going uncounted.

Spanish Eyes · 28-03-2020 07:39PM

Tough choices are made every day in hospitals around the country well before this CV outbreak. In a lot of cases if the patient has little quality of life at admission, and treatment will not improve that, the patient will be sedated, be under palliative care and will slip away. I know this for a fact, you can choose whether to believe me or not.

Also nursing homes ask Next of Kin (where resident is not compos mentis) whether family would like resident to be moved to hospital for treatment or to be resuscitated etc. in the event of serious illness a DNR if you like. I know this too.

That was my mother, god rest her. She had a very peaceful passing at a great age with no beeping interventions and tubes and the like. Bless her, and all those that have passed during this outbreak. You can be assured that they will not have been in distress.

Plenty of younger people involved in car accidents and other traumas are also removed from Life support i.e. ventilators too. It is no way genocide, it is the right thing to do in a lot of cases, and has been going on since ventilators were invented.

Look what happened in Spain where nurses and care staff contacted the virus in a nursing home and couldn’t come to work and the homes were left deserted. The army found elderly dead in their beds. The care staff definitely need some form of protection against this virus.

I know and your right but I worked in one for years, its just not possible. The sight of staff in Hazmat suits would finish them quick. These places are full of people with severe dementia, imagine their reaction, its impossible.

Condolences to all the mourning families.

Unfortunately the deaths are probably the most reliable index of where we are on the infection curve.

No one knows how many positive tests were incinerated when the backlog was cleared.

Agreed , deaths and ICU numbers are a better judge of overall rates I would think as we can quantify them. The numbers of people testing positive are not a good indicator.

Grab All Association · 28-03-2020 07:41PM

Little scumbags tried breaking in whilst i was sleeping, fever the past few days finally recovering so the house looked empty, hoping now it is Covid-19 and they die a painful death from it. they have snapped the internal lock on my pvc window. With no way to secure it or bolt it, I can't exactly go out and get a replacement. Nor have An Garda Siochana attended. I'd love to say protect your homes here by whatever means, but you'll be the one imprisoned if you do. Narcolepsy so it not going to be possible to keep my guard up.

60% alcohol suffices.

Grammer nazi alert.

I'm a realist but sure aren't you the lad who laughed and ridiculed myself and other posters (now banned what a surprise BTW) who said this would collapse the world economy as well as destroy the health services.

But sure yeah let's just zip by that inconvenience and attack my spelling.

I'm on our side how about yourself?

This must be a terrifying time for families who have people in nursing homes. A lot of clusters in these institutions. The mean age of those who passed away today [RIP] is 81 so these must be all from nursing homes.

My 78 year old Dad is in Hollybrook Nursing home. 2 cases in there so we were worried. Managed to get a phone in to him this morning. Thankfully he is in great form and was only worried that we'd be worried about him. Nervy few weeks ahead for sure though.

Very intresting take on political matters, as if you say growth is not enough to keep the government in power, when do you see the regime collapsing? Next year? 5 years?

So the number of people currently in ICU could be a good bit lower than that figure.

I went to the chemist this afternoon. Our town Thurles was bright and dry but very cold. Normally on a Saturday at 4.30 it’s very busy and bustling. There were lots and lots of walkers out, both individuals and “couples”. I encountered a mother and a granny with 2 kids walking two dogs but they were the only ones not observing the rules. Apart from that it is a ghost town.

True, but isn't much comfort if they're only freed up due to deaths.
