    So you think that all the deaths are being basically concentrated in March, and then the mortality will be lower than normal in the coming months.So the overall mortality rate for the year will just be normal, despite the pandemic. I get it, I just think it is far fetched, and very likely will not be what happens

    I didnt say I agreed with it, I was just explaining what the person outlined on the radio interview. If this comes under control be September then by probability the mortality rate will drop as there are less people to die. Do I think the same amount of people will die anyway, no I do not. The average rate will be much higher.

    Seriously where do you people come from? What's Putin got to do with the outbreak in China? And why shouldn't he be quiet? Whats he going to say about US and western incompetence?.

    Its like trailer park America in here.

    There's a clear link between the Trump supporters and the attacks on both China and Irish handling of this. The doom merchants for Ireland who think the government didn't act quickly are often cheer leaders for the orange buffoon.

    I agree the death rate will be lower by then but itll be because of cocooning and not the fact that the virus has killed such a high proportion of the at risk groups by then that there is nobody left for the virus to kill. There will always be a huge proportion of the population who are highly vulnerable, the number of deaths no matter how high, even in a worst case scenario, will still only kill a relatively small chunk of this population

    10-15% of the population are 'at risk'(people of any age with chronic illnesses and healthy people over 65) from this virus and a further 10% are 'highly vulnerable' (over 65 with comorbidities)

    With both China and Russia sealing their borders, I have had an incredibly dark thought as to why that might be. Best left for a conspiracy thread, though.

    everything the HSE do is telling us what will happen in the future nothing about what will happen now. We dont know how many have been tested or how many tests there are per day. They seem more at home with spin than with doing things.

    When the plane lands with the gear at the airport it will be like the HSE have found a cure, their media spin will be off the charts.

    Yes, millions of people are dying and not paying their mobile bills. We've had that. There's no evidence of that from social media in those countries but that might be because all of the people with smart phones died. Thats my theory anyhoo. Maybe billions have died. Maybe trillions. Who can tell with Commies.

    I think the lockdown didn't work in Wuhan. In fact they may not have even had a lockdown, it was all CGI. Alternatively I believe that they did this to attack the west and started with their own people but they knew their own people wouldn't get it, so nobody has it in China. We should nuke them.

    Ill now retire to the trailer and put on some country n western.

    MAGA!

    Good question and while not completely systematic, yes there is plenty of that sort of think going on

    The 3rd to Join the hall of shame for spitting at Gardai, take a bow Ms Healey from Ballyfermot. Denied bail.

    I hear there was another in Cork yesterday. This behaviour is now making headlines abroad.
    Very little to do with COVID-19, that type of scumbag does it to gardai and emergency worker all the time.

    I've witness a number of public order arrests of the type over the years and they have increasingly involved the foulest curses, physical threats, attempted assault, and voluminous spitting.

    Previously it just has never been prosecuted as is should have been, and tolerated behaviour becomes normalised over time.

    As a state we have tolerated assaults on gardai and emergency services, never stamping down on the perpetrators.

    Genuinely think Simon Harris is showing real leadership during this. His daily updates are great. Whatever about why we are in this situation and the blame game. We are in the sh!t. I've been very impressed by him.

    yep, you wear one out painting and noone bats an eyelid. You enter a packed supermarket wearing one during the most serious and deadly and contagious virus threat in the history of the republic of ireland and suddenly you're getting notions. Though I think in the past week or two people are finally starting to get it - very few wearing masks still though.

    The problem is there are very few available. And those that are are expensive, I was quoted 5 euro yesterday in a pharmacy for a single use mask. Eventually we will need to get these down to 20 packs for a euro, but carers take first responsibilty.

    If his updates are so good, how many people have been tested and results processed, how many tests are we now doing per day? This is a basic process that WHO says should be part of the reaction to the virus.

    Even by their standards, this is shocking.

    They were never coming back, Leo mentioned the coming surge on the 17th, which he expected about now. So pushing the date to the 29th was always temporary, and clearly going to be updated. I am not sure what LC students are going to do.

    One of the advisors already came out today and said he expects lockdown to last til June, which sounds about right. It's not a secret. Boris letter will probably outline this too.

    I would honestly feel much safer going shopping if everyone around wore masks. Sneeze <8 meters away can pass you the virus the new research shows. If everyone wore masks sneezing or coughing in public wouldn't be that scary. Even healthy people sneeze on occasion.

    Ah yeah - 'new research'

    I think they are doing their genuine best. And I'm no FG voter. Resources can't be magiced up. I think they should be braver on leveraging private resources though.

    testing is a joke. Needs to be improved. He is dependent on info from HSE as we all are.

    Question:
    "Can we do more testing?"

    Answer:
    "We'll get a boat, convert stadiums etc..."

    2 weeks later.

    "we said we could do more tests you never asked about results"
