    Maybe google some virologists see what their expert views are, they will probably differ as well.So much information flying around.
    Epidemiologists for spread, counter measures etc, virologists for nature of virus and possible methods of attacking it

    China absolutely has responsibility if it was lying about the extent of the virus.

    That doesn't mean European governments haven't made mistakes. But deliberately lying about the extent of the virus and arresting people who were trying to warn the world is nothing short of an international scandal.


    Maybe the Chinese were lying maybe the European governments were lying, maybe both made mistakes. It is something that no one seems to have handled perfectly , when does an omission become a lie?

    All EU countries knew in very early January that the virus is going to spread across the world, yet nearly no country have started preparing.

    .

    So the government or their advisers have fecked up in some areas- not shutting down air travel sooner, , but we are in a far better position than Spain, Italy and the UK in terms of mortality rate per head of population due to the fact we implemented restrictions sooner. That fact can't be denied.

    Population size and density is incomparable with Ireland. Have you been to Madrid?

    So the majority of people being admitted to ICU are under 65

    https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2020/0404/1128465-covid19-coronavirus-tracker/

    Yet we are told the average age of those dying is 82.

    So are old people not even getting to ICU?

    Edit: the post below kinda asks the same question.

    Glad someone is reading. I always say if you want your news three days earlier come to boards.ie

    3 days ago

    Yeah shows how important physical distancing is within the community. Again credit where it is due offers much more insight to what is going on. Fair play to "EPI Team" in hse.

    One thing from that report. Of the deaths thus far 90% of deaths have been in 65+.

    However ICU admissions much less skewed to older ages so any age can end up there. Hopefully they all recover.

    What were Sweden doing...something similar to Germany in how deaths were recorded?

    They are only recording people who die from Covid with no underlying health issues.

    Well SARS and MERS stayed very far away and this was "just a flu'" to start with, so not really a surprise how we collectively responded initially. We'll know for the next one.

    Governments knew. There were official NATO warnings sent early January, maybe Ireland is not a NATO member, but it doesn't really matter. All Countries knew this thing is coming and it's coming with heavy weapons.

    Germany has one of the best healthcare systems in the world. Not just that, they have vast resources and testing capacity that few countries can match. They also very quickly stopped medical resources leaving the country as Switzerland found out. I think it’s very difficult to work out how any country is handling this in comparison to others.

    Yes, we do have a major advantage in that regard, which demonstrates how castastrophic it was for the Uk to not introduce strict lockdown measure sooner in London to slow the spread of the virus. We are now seeing the dire consequences of that ditherting.

    I thought the WHO were issuing guidelines on what way deaths should be recorded?

    I'd find that hard. The slightest breeze would blow your papers around and the brightness from direct sunlight. Unless some sort of tent structure?

    It's politicking at the worst possible time and really not helpful to anyone.

    Seems US has taken goods in a third party country on grounds they are US property because they are manufactured by a us company (3m). Wonder what possible consequences if they deploy similar measures.

    Our gov will defo appease them. Better get orders in now.

    Uk might start taking paracetamol made in Waterford.
    We all know about the ventilators made here.

    I hear a lot of guys saying that they hate the word "moist", with me it's "cluster" as in a cluster of haemorrhoids or genital warts, just saying, I'm hearing it a lot the last few weeks.

    Just one of the many words and expressions we would like to see forgotten!
