Honestly, at what point is living a sh1tty life of fear worth it.

The medicine is becoming worse that the disease.

I hope you don't make a career out of trying to cheer people up. The empathy is strong in this one. :rolleyes:

Don`t forget today is Good Friday which even if things were normal would still have been a day off for the public service.

Were they all not giving a conference an hour ago?

Do you understand the difference between those who run an organisation and those who work on the frontline? Clearly you don't!

Healthcare workers have been let down more than anyone by HSE and government mistakes.

I do actually which is why when I'm talking about the health service I make a point of saying which part I'm talking about. I never say the HSE as a blanket term unlike you did.

By May what is going to happen economically?
Not just to Ireland but Europe too,

Well food will be a problem. All the cheap labour that is used to pick all the veg in spain can’t cross the border.

I know it’s hard to think 2 months in advance but we could be back to meat and 2 veg. If hardware store was open I wouldn’t be painting , I’d be planting my zuccinis and other foreign veg which won’t be available in supermarkets.

I welcome the government being honest about the lockdown extension. It is long but it's just what is required. The UK government know it'll be ages yet but are being coy. I think people feel less anxious when they have a concrete date. I'm aware that it could be extended beyond May 5th but at least you can plan that it won't be before that.

They haven't been honest once in this entire shambles. The whole thing has been an exercise in communication management.

You didn't make it very clear, tbh I don't believe you. I think your backtracking now after being put on your place.

Source ?

Figures presented based on testing that we subsequently discovered couldn't have taken place.

CIARAN_BOYLE · 10-04-2020 05:57PM

ECDC has us at 7393 cases after inclusion of tests sent to German laboratories not included in the total.

Yes which is another reason why there might not be another briefing this evening.

I've been saying from the get go, that "normal" life wasn't resume until the vaccine become available.

Normal being we can get on a plane and go anywhere in the world.

That's true. We will most likely require a vaccination cert to travel internationally. That doesn't mean, however, that we cannot get back to 'some sort' of normality.

You're getting in the way of "economic progress" with that attitude.

*Sarcasm mode disabled*

You'd swear the sky was falling in for some people with extension of restrictions. While the numbers diagnosed with Covid-19 are still rising. Impatience and selfishness are not the highest virtues.

544 new cases only in Sweden, two times our population, during the last day. An exemplar in how to manage affairs without imposing a draconian lockdown like we did.

Um approaching 1000 deaths btw, more importantly. Their cases are low because what is the point in testing large numbers if the goal is herd immunity, testing is just for the purpose of contact tracing and slowing spread, which Sweden have no interest in doing

They're obfuscating on the number of cases and the number of tests completed.

It's very disappointing

Tippex · 10-04-2020 06:03PM

UK going to be above china by Sunday at this rate for confirmed cases (yes I know I know about the numbers)

They gave figures based on testing that hadn't actually taken place.

Watching the Angelus just there : lovely touch to put portrait pics of Irish healthcare workers instead of the usual material

wakka12 · 10-04-2020 06:06PM

Some areas of alarming growth in the last 48 hours are:
Belarus +1000 cases
Singapore 500
Ecudaor 3000
Russia 3200
Turkey 10,000
Brazil 2200
Peru +1500
Japan almost 1000 cases in the last 48 hours

An Ciarraioch · 10-04-2020 06:07PM

Will there be a daily case update today?

Is this not the result of more testing being done overall ?

Daily number of cases is irrelevant until the backlog is cleared. They could tell us there was1000 new cases today, but most could be over 2 weeks old at this stage and not relevant to current situation. The data we need is the positive tests by test date. That would tell the real story
