    That French figure is kind of scary.

    My brother is in France near the Swiss border he and his two little girls have had it and were quite sick but his wife didn’t get it at all, or if she did she had just an irritating cough.

    Whats this lady on primetime got against masks.

    They thought us how to wash our hands
    They thought us how to keep our distance
    They can teach us how to wear a f00king mask


    The bit I don't get is the assumption that the mask will end up covered in virus and fiddling with it will infect you. If it gets virus on it then it is really dangerous but that virus would have got onto your face if you had not been wearing it. You are still cutting the odds down by wearing it.


    To me it is an insurance policy.



    And of course you are right about the "training" BS. 3 or 4 steps and you are done.


    Of course you have to continue with all the other measures.

    Milan has shut its crematorium as it can no longer meet demand.

    Yes thankyou. I think it is very important for people to be very mindful of all wording that all media use during a plandemic. Coronavirus is just not Covid19 it also can be flu and just a cold (SARS),(MERS) etc, etc

    Influenza is not a coronavirus. Where ate you going with all this?

    Depending when the tests were done, some of the patients are likely well on the way to recovery but being reported as new cases

    I think you are looking for comfort in the confirmed cases total.

    The actual cases out there will be multiples of this so not really comforting when you look at the reality that the confirmed cases are limited by our lack of testing.

    I would rather see the reality than feeling comfort from focusing on an inaccurate/irrelevant number.

    Saw that on Channel 4 news.
    The reason the Council are digging so many graves is in case their workers get sick and are not available to dig them when they are needed.

    Ah sure they won't go to waste anyway. Someone will drop into them eventually.

    That's a good thing, we will get more accurate figures of who is positive.

    As Tony said the numbers are more about knowing who to use contact tracing on to identify more people to be tested/self isolate.

    Are you saying it is a bad thing to have more data?

    Test from Ireland are being shipped to Germany?

    If they'd just be straight that it's a supply issue I'd have far more respect for them.

    "They've" been acknowledging supply issues from the outset.

    Highly recommend reading this lengthy health based US article. From a few days ago but offers interesting insight into the future.

    Different method of recording deaths. Nursing home deaths don't occur in hospitals so weren't being picked up.

    It's the same in other areas too, the UK for example.

    I would hate to think that we would do anything like this. I think there would be a huge outcry

    I'm thankful to be in my mid 40s.

    I don't fear growing old for dying. I fear it for the loss of control I'll have over the fundamentals of life. I fear it for the loss of dignity, others cleaning me, helping me with going to the toilet, or when I can't make the toilet.

    I want to live to a mobile self sufficient 100 and die in my sleep with a clear conscience. Am I asking for too much :)
    No that's sound. You ask away.

    I had an interaction with two members of the homeless community today.

    They were both placed in a HSE building for isolation.
    Of course they were outside, pissed and being a general nuisance.

    These ppl don't give a f u CK. They'll tell you that they're infected, yet they will go to the local Centra/spar etc, get their drink and be funts

    The Gardai have no powers or facilities to deal with them.

    It's time to ship them all off to a secure camp, be it temple more, the curragh, or one of the islands.

    Civil liberties be damned.

    I don't have these marks, could it be possible to have been given the vaccine without being marked?

    Wiki Coronavirus.

    We know it's a family of viruses. This new one is a novel type of Coronavirus. Never existed before. Completely different from the others in the family. Only commonality is its morphology, ie the spikes on the surface.

    Virology is sure interesting, but I'm not sure what you are suggesting?

    Just reading through the numbers there. We are doing exceptionally well, it doesn't look like we'll see a surge. Only 100 ish patients in ICU at this stage is remarkable. Seems like all the hard work paid off thankfully.

    He's right influenza is not a coronavirus. You are being unnecessarily pedantic over terminology.

    Most people call Covid-19 the coronavirus, yes and we all know there are other coronaviruses!

    RTE talking about the pros and cons of masks.
    Unsurprisingly, the virologist from Trinity slow to recommend them while many countries now recommending/mandating them.


    If you have one wear it. I'm a firefighter we are under instruction to wear them at all incidents not just suspected coronavirus cases. Tells me all I need to know.;)

    It's upwards from here. We will see a "surge", but hopefully a slow climb and fall. We have been doing well though. Just not sure yet if we are truly seeing the benefits of the social distancing. That may be another week or two.

    All in all that seems a bit suspect! Why can't we test here?...will Germany charge us for testing? I guess not...maybe that will be another 120m down the swanee?

    Worst thing to do now is to get complacent.

    We have months of this ahead so let's not go all George Bush and declare victory prematurely.

    How does it compare with other similar sized countries?
