    Surely that's the definition of "critical case recovery" no?

    I suppose so, yes. Sorry for my choice of words.

    I was just thinking about something tonight and this is something I'm interested in. Like the quality of life after this infection and after ICU. I know it's a new virus and it's early days.

    Wasn't there reports from china of lung transplants happening there?

    US figures of 2 trillion dollars to save 2 million lives is a million dollars per life..

    $1000 per life maybe?

    US aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt is docked in Guam. Apparently 100 of the crew have the virus. Quarantining the entire crew is being considered.

    So you reckon this way of living is likely to go on for a number of months to come??

    Who the fook knows? Why are you asking random lads on the internet who, in reality, probably know no more than yourself? Just follow the guidelines and wait and see like the rest of us :)

    2,000,000,000,000 (2 Trillion)
    2,000,000 (2 million)

    = $1,000,000

    Maths is hard.

    Don't forget Leos unrealistic prediction of 15,000 cases by the end of the month.

    I see lots of people celebrating and saying fantastic job by the Government because we didn't hit the 15,000 cases or 30% increase per day.
    You are the same kind of eejit that would be giving out about FG about putting the economy first if they didn't react to the virus and for all intents and purposes close the country

    It's almost like you and that other clown weldoninhio would find any angle and use it as a stick to beat Varadkar.

    Dublin. Before the crash diesel 1.32, after the crash diesel 1.20 (today)

    That's not even 10% reduction, WTF?

    Tax is so hight in this country on fuel in Ireland

    Apparently...
    WASHINGTON: China's "wet markets" have reopened - selling bats, pangolins and dogs for human consumption.

    The move is dangerous as scientists believe that the Covid-19 causing coronavirus first lurked in a bat in China and hopped to another animal, before getting passed on to humans.

    Going by how quiet the roads are, I’m in North Dublin and I’d be hearing cars in the evening pass at one every couple of minutes, nothing has passed in about 2 hours. It’s fücking weird.. silence is deafening out there. Reassuring though all things considered. The prices might be forced down because of this.

    The “ramping up of tests” etc was a PR exercise. The “we have plenty of PPE” was a PR exercise.
    The bullshyte about getting to “15,000 tests a day” was a PR exercise.

    All we are getting from Simple Simon and Varadkardashian is spin and PR bluster.

    The whole world is struggling with the this crisis.

    It's now a global crisis.

    I don't see the point in turning this into a political issue and blaming our politicians with hilarious names.

    15,000 tests a day is not a PR exercise, it's a target they are working towards and they ar presently at 5,000 a day. By tests I mean results, not just swabs. They were at 2,000 last week.
    People do not accept it takes to get all these things up and running.

    Constant sniping at politicians and other geniuses pointing out how they predicted this crisis the moment they heard a person in Wuhan had a sore throat is boring , and that the government should have gone full lock-down in February,achieve nothing and make this thread unreadable.

    In the meantime our death rates remain low compared to other countries and that's nothing to do with the impact of the decisions taken by the government. It now means their forecasts were false.

    The CMO was saying this evening that if the current measures take effect, we could see a relaxation of the current measures. Would this be the reopening of schools, colleges ect or what are we thinking?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,949 ✭✭✭ChikiChiki


    Christ thats some turnaround by Trump. Only a week ago he banging on about back to business at Easter and the China Flu.

    Moron absolute moron.

    It may be time for everyone to mask up
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is having second thoughts about masks.

    Citing new data that shows high rates of transmission from people who are infected but show no symptoms, he said the guidance on mask wearing was “being critically re-reviewed, to see if there’s potential additional value for individuals that are infected or individuals that may be asymptomatically infected.”

    The coronavirus is probably three times as infectious as the flu, Dr. Redfield said. Some people are infected and transmitting the virus probably as long as two days before showing any symptoms, he said. “This helps explain how rapidly this virus continues to spread across the country, because we have asymptomatic transmitters and we have individuals who are transmitting 48 hours before they become symptomatic,” Dr. Redfield said in the interview.

    This from one month ago......



    Then.



    And now, today 30th March, just one month after we had Zero cases here!

    UK / NHS Confirmed cases 22,000
    UK / NHS Covid-19 deaths 01,415

    IRL / HSE Confirmed cases 03,235
    IRL / HSE Covid-19 deaths 71

    Hopefully it will disappear just as quickly as f when it's finished with us.

    You can have all the lockdowns you want but if for example you continue to import cases from abroad lockdowns are pointless and we never get on top it.

    14% of over 300 cases today were infected abroad. That's 45 cases for just one day. Fully understand that Irish need to be brought back but introducing 45 cases a day from abroad into the community means lockdown becomes unworkable. If each of those 45 infect one other person such as a family member and so on you still have a significant exponential spread.

    And lets not forget all community transmission stems from someone who originally got it abroad, whether its only one degree or a number of degrees of separation.

    Yes, but not all in one go. They would probably open cafes, restaurants and retail stores first and pubs some time after that.

    Schools and colleges will probably reopen in September.
