Hey, don't like you're tone "read it again".

I won't see your next post.

Well it's getting pretty common in Dublin . I went shopping today and wore a mask and saw at least 20 other people with masks on too while I was there. At least half of the staff in SuperValu had masks on too

Brilliant. That's actually reassuring! I feel the more we see it the more acceptable it will be!

It hasn't hit my neck of rural Ireland yet!

Thank you for your wonderful contribution. Theres a long line up of HSE cover ups Cervical Check being the most recent with many of them still going through the courts from the 1980s until right now.

So its not exactly strange to wonder is yet another one happening in the presen because they have solid form. Already we are seeing HSE managers claim everything is fine while doctors and nurses plead for PPE on Twitter.

Tip of the iceberg comes to mind.

Argentina has announced it is suffering from a shortage of Viagra as a result of it's lock down

The quarantine has had one unexpected consequence, according to pharmacists, a shortage of Viagra, after the stock for March sold out early.

“There was an unexpected consumption,” said Marcelo Peretta, head of the Argentine Union of Pharmacists, who blamed the free time at home by the imposed quarantine for the run on the erectile dysfunction drug.

I believe Ireland (or more specifically Cork) is well equipped to be of assistance in that regard.

yeah I'm familiar with the Cervical Check scandal. Your logic here seems to be something along the lines of "they engaged in coverup before, hence that must be the case this time also" when there is no reason to "raise questions" here at all. All government bodies in every country engage in coverups in case you didn't know.

Your idea that 15,000 positive cases as a milestone would cause a public panic they are trying to avoid is so bizarre and obviously not the case, it's really only something you would see someone on the internet saying.

HSE coverups since the 1980s, really? Perhaps you can lecture us all about these HSE scandals through the 1980s and 1990s, ears wide open, you have the floor. Extra credit: were you even alive in the 1980s or the 1990s for that matter?

Lived in Spain for 20 years. People use to bring Brennan's out and we froze it.
Not as good as fresh bread but better than the Spanish stuff.

The reason our figures aren't as high as they should be is because of the snail's pace we are testing people at.
I think we have just about hit 20k tests.

I was out shopping on Friday and saw an odd person wearing Face masks, my initial thought was whoa, but then i copped on and i realised that I've no idea as to any existing conditions that this people may have, there's **** out there, but there's a HUGE amount of decent people doing good things.

Hard to make sense of what's coming out of the states. Trump has flip flopped on his New York quarantine plan. But at the same time Cuomo has ruled out a sort of "lock down" (hate using those words) for New York because it would "paralyse the financial sector". Those creaming over Cuomo recently might have to put their boners away for now.

You are dead right actually we tested 17,992 up to 23/03/2020 so it's about 20K now.

They are now only testing people who have 2 symptoms and also have had contact with someone else who has tested positive.

This makes sense if you are trying to cut down on the rate of transmission as they are doing. It says very little about how widespread the disease is in the community.

Is that 20k a guess or have you a source?
Last count was 17,992 on the 24th. Averaging 1622 tests a day.
I'd guess we're at least at 25k tests (conservative estimate)
That's 5175/mil population.
UK are at 1827/mil
We're not going at a snail's pace

They are testing people with 2 symptoms, you don't need to have had contact with a confirmed cases. Just the 2 symptoms is enough

Not going to Google it but I am pretty sure Dr. Tony Holohan said in his press conference a few days ago that they were testing people with 2 symptoms and who had had contact with a confirmed case.

Could be wrong but it does not matter - we are testing all we can test. Finding as many positives as we can and isolating them.

Our health professionals and out Government are doing their best. I don't doubt this.

No the 15000 figure was put out to make sure people listened and panicked(if that's the word you focus on)and the reason we are not at 15000 and doing so well is because we are a good nation of people,and we get slightly scared and we listen when scary 'panicy' forcasts are broadcast by our leader.... Keep the Social Distancing and stay safe everybody.

That 15,000 figure wasn't just made up. Spain surpassed 15k cases in the same space of time as we could have.
