How about maintaining the lockdown until the number of new cases per day has fallen to single figures (according to extensive and reliable testing), even if that takes 2-3 months?

It’s an interesting science question. We have no vaccine so want people to get it but not in huge numbers all at once. I wonder how long though an economy can be put on hold for that to be achieved.

But all supermarkets sell dog food.

I have seen a lot of elderly people out walking locally here by themselves and with their dogs.

You mean like they are doing now with all the people that were laid off.

Thats only a fraction of their wage and its applied to all. If everyone EXCEPT those with asthma, cardiac issues etc. are allowed return to work but they are discriminated against they should recieve the full wage there were on before being forcibly removed.

Why not?

Because it's the footfall factor that constitutes the element of risk.

Some of the fair, generous, considerate, charitable, friendly banks are open too.

The number of tests in Germany had been a mistery for a long while,
I finally found it buried in the German report from Robert Koch - page 6, section titled Labortestungen.
Google Translate: "The feedback from the laboratories showed that 918,460 samples have been tested so far from the beginning of the collection up to and including calendar week 13/2020, of which 64,906 were tested positive for SARS-CoV-2."

Looks like a lot around this people are reading headlines and not the actual articles perhaps or just posting stuff for a way to get some dig politically.

That could take 3/4 months. The economy couldn't take that. And like it or not the economy is vital to us all.

Government and the HSE doing a great job of handling this crisis it must be said. More importantly Irish people have responded brilliantly.

I don't own a dog so don't know the difference but it sounds a bit unbelievable that loads of different brands of dog food from the supermarket isn't good enough for you dog and only some hipster, probably vegan dog grooming bought food is good enough.

Why are they texting people with the deceased's name?

Technically they didn't text, it's a message on the school app, not that it makes much difference.

Well if you think that, are we not all being discriminated right now by being removed from our jobs and receive our full wage. I do think they should compensated in some way though.

I dont get the negativity on here tbh

Yesterday we had tested over 30000 people in total to date

Today the UK had tested just over 150000

So if they had tested at the same rate as us, with a population 12 times our size the figure would be 360000

They've not even done half that.

Their death rate today of 563 would equate to approx 40 deaths here today, not the 14 reported

Our population are compliant for the most part with restrictions

The deputy CMO today said signs were positive

Wtf is up with all the bickering??

Who cares how many die, the old we are not as bad as the Brits argument.

Everyone is being treated the same so no discrimination. If you force people out of the workforce permanently as a policy then thats a problem.

I spend about 70 euro a month on a 15kg bag, if you cant even bother spending that you really shouldn't have a dog. The supermarket stuff is awful. It really is awful stuff.

This is happening the world over, reopening before we and the world have this under control would be pointless and stupid.

It took Hubei /China three months to get this under control under much more draconian measures. So we'll be doing well if this under control the world over in three months.

Am I the only person who thinks this isn't really going anywhere until we have a vaccine? A lot of positive comments on here but at the end of the day its 208 new cases even with all the restrictions (I know the lockdown figures) will take a bit of time to be reflected but from what I saw people were social distancing in general quite well from well over 10 days ago now. Considering the global nature even if we get it under control we're likely to get imported cases or when we return to some sense of normality it will flare up again. When will the balancing point come from people dying from covid and maybe mental health issues/other issues due to hospitals essentially being shut down for diagnostics etc. Just to add I'm in support of the current restrictions before someone has a go and know why its needed just how long can it go on for? a Month? 2 months? indefinitely?

France has 6000 in ICU today.
They have been able to move patients by high speed TGV train to Regions less under pressure (similar to Italy, which is using military planes with biohazard equipment)

Good luck with what? if they are in the vulnerable age group and don't adhere to the isolation request then it is their own fault if they get the virus.

They will be told to isolate for their safety..

Its not just their safety, people of that age maybe happy with the risk and may have come to terms with the possibility of meeting their maker, but the health service wont thank them if they show up in hospital all at once.

So you would prefer everyone not to have a job rather than the few as not to discriminate.

Yes, lots of dogs need hypo-allergenic or fat-free food.

I'd prefer everyone to be alive and have no jobs than people have jobs and thousands dying from covid-19.

Post covid 19 what does the economy of the world look like ?

We know we are going to have a recession , but with all the printing of money going on I can see a serious cash deflation happening

No one is being discriminated against, they would have the choice to work but it's up to them if they want to take the risk.

So you think we should stop everyone from working people because a small minority of people have underlying conditions?? the most logical thing is that everyone else keeps the boat afloat and keep the economy going while the people with underlying conditions stay at home for their safety.
