How does your stat sit alongside 'normal business', if that is even available?

There doesn't seem be much in the way of distinction in any country between OF covid and WITH covid. If you are in God's waiting room anyway, you are likely in an institution that is riddled with the bastard, one that operates as a straw on a camel back.

1 month is a long time and all it takes is one virus to cross species barrier.

11 days waiting on results. Still have symptoms. HC worker.. getting annoyed now

if your not very sick i.e. need of a hospital, testing positive won't change the treatment - self isolate and keep in contact with a doctor.

Multiple times now you've been asked what your suggestions are and multiple times you've ignored the question.

Either answer it if you are so knowledgeable or stop posting drivel.

I have in my bollox.

I've already posted numerous times that restrictions will need to be relaxed, the vulnerable groups will need to continue to isolate and the rest of us will have to take sensible precautions while getting back to some form of normality.

It's not my fault that you're hard of reading and it's hardly rocket-science.

It's funny that in nations where the masks are easily got damn near everyone is wearing them. Taiwan gave them to every single household in the country and made it illegal to not wear one in public.

BTW if any authority gives you two contradictory statements, that means one of those statements is wrong. Never mind that many authorities have had many headless chicken moments when dealing with this new threat. The WHO among them.

HSE covering their arses from litigation, nothing new there. Wank3rs.

More than one person has died in Europe from COVID every minute of every day for the last two weeks

One person dead for every minute of a calendar year would be 525,600 people.

The annual death total from flu is around 650,000 people per year.

I mean, how could a mask that filters out 99% of particles in air provide protection against something that can be passed on through coughing, sneezing, or breathing on someone? :rolleyes:

Sometimes I have to wonder.

Asian countries took this seriously from get-go because they took SARS seriously. Many people here didn't take SARS seriously because we have a lot of people, who apparently think that if something is in Asia it can't affect us. :eek:

I was one of them !.
SARS in Asia.Ebola in Africa none of them affected us so we ( the public) can be forgiven for not reacting straight away.
Once it reached Europe the government and CMO should have been all over this. Restrictions to and from hot spots, preparing for this. Though hindsight is 20/20 .

In 2016, 5.1 million Europeans perished overall.

Yes, I agree, the eating of live animals is disgraceful, all live animals, pigs, cows, cats, dogs.

All major pandemics in history have been animal to human. A plant based diet is the only safe alternative to follow.

just pointing out the hypocrisy some people have with the Chinese eating dogs and cats. it's morally no different to eating pigs, which we love in the west.

The numbers are only those who die in a hospital setting - don’t want to even imagine the real numbers - and given they have adopted this approach I’m guessing the true numbers are a lot higher

Up to 20th March they were under reported by 24%.

With new guidelines in place regarding over 75s and resuscitation in nursing homes there is every reason to believe it could even be higher.

It doesn't, it's just an excuse to use xenophobic type language because Westerners perceive themselves as 'civilised'

Definitely Week 3 strain at work here! I really don't get this ire towards whether people wear masks or not. It is a choice we all make. Some choose to, many do not. All we can do is be safe ourselves. If they are nowhere near us then leave them be.

Can we ban people from cycling and going out jogging altogether? The 2km rule has only made Rathmines more busy as people who would have gone to UCD are exercising locally. The paths here are narrow physical distancing is not being adhered to.

It is actually illegal to cycle on a pavement in this country.

There were recent protests by women in Saudi Arabia against restrictions on driving, in fairness.

It's less about the deaths, some would unfortunately die, as the overall effect on a health system and the wider economy, with people being out for 14 days plus.
