So you're not worried about losing your job or winding up impoverished at all? I know I am. I'm only 22 working in an office. I'm starting a bachelor's part time in September. This could irreparably **** up my whole life if I get sacked or let go. Am I supposed to just not mind?

I am heading into my second global recession last one was only 12 years ago

Hopefully this will be your only one

Look if simply insulting people gets you through this then fire away but if this is how you view something that is not just about YOU then you have a long hard road ahead in life. For goodness sake look around. The entire world is in the same boat. You are not being signalled out for special treatment.

Using the 8089 figure from today going forward will cause confusion if they are going to give us a daily increase from 2 days ago.

For example. The 480 increase on today relates to Wednesday. That brought the total as of midnight Wednesday to 7054.

The 8089 relates to total now, today.

If the daily increase is 400 on Thursday and then announced tomorrow you'd expect the the new total to be 8089 plus 400. But it will actually be 7054 + 400.

We will then then be given a new total as of Saturday which could be 8089 + 500.

They need one cut off point not 2 as reported today

I think that is where the confusion arises.The number as of midnight Wednesday night was 7071.

7054 is the number of cases as of this evening that have been processed in irish labs.8089 is the figure as of this evening including German lab results.

At least I think this is the position.

Tony under a bit of pressure tonight over the published cases.

What was he playing at?

Thanks for that. I appreciate you talking to me like an adult rather than going full guy on the internet on me like some

Look head I get you. I really do. If I were 22 again, especially in how society has evolved over the last decade or so, I would be sh1tting myself. It is a lot more high stress oh christ I have to get my ducks in a row yesterday than it was. The things I expected out of life, a job, a gaff etc, are not so clearcut today. Not when someone outa college is looking down the barrel of Dublin rents for shoeboxes. Your average middle aged type tends not to see this. And I speak as one.

I certainly don't envy you LZ on that score at least.

Now speaking as an middle aged cnut, because I am one, and I know you won't believe me, I sure as hell wouldn't at 22. Or now for that matter...

but when you look back on this you will likely go "jaysus that was a pain in the arse, but..." and the rest of your life will tend to look pretty OK. You'll almost certainly be in a place different than you think, and that's good too.

You may imagine you`re an adult. Sorry to break it to you but you have a lot of growing up to do.

Ah I dunno. Sh1t I'm 52, 30 years older than him and the day I reckon I've figured it out or have "grown up" is the day I'll need to be measured for a pine box.

Yes it's like the même with a pic of Nancy Regan, listing all the just causes they campaigned against and at the bottom it says "I'm a republican, I don't give a **** about you untill it happens to me".

Did you say you were 22?

Perhaps you meant 12 with this attitude.

big problem is journos asking how long people are waiting for "tests" when then mean "test results", its the irish way of speaking but gives the officials an opportunity not to answer the question.

The initial figure of about 7,000 cases is incorrect and it is actually over 8,000.

When the journalists took him up on this mistake, he seemed to caught off guard and a little defensive.

Perhaps it's exhaustion, but this doesn't look good if he was trying to conceal the real case load.

Nothing is irreparable. Especially at 22. Comes across as extremely entitled.

I don't think the journos are clear themselves on what they mean by that relentless question.

I don't think Hololan said anything wrong tonight (it was Henry who wouldn't answer questions on test results)

its the person who wrote the press release that confused the journalists because the german lab result figure isn't in it https://twitter.com/ciananbrennan/status/1248668178642862080

megatron989 · 10-04-2020 08:58PM

No point complaining about something with absolutely no solution. Especially no good solution. It's like an earthquake. It happens and it effects everything totally. And you can't do a dam thing about it. Welcome to real life.

“That is why we’re worried about our friends in America, where the problem of obesity is well known and where they will probably have the most problems because of obesity.”

was he having a dig at america ( even if its true)

Im judging you aren't an adult on the make up of your posts not the age.

But I've a feeling you knew this anyway.

Enjoy your evening

Nothing new that. ICU medics and nurses here have been saying this for a couple of weeks now.

I see a few comments on this thread about how this will screw up plans.

Unfortunately, many of us are led to believe that life is a track and there are set goal points to reach by certain ages or dates.

In reality it does not always work like that. A lot of things can and do happen: recessions, illness, conflicts (we had one on this island until 1993), wars (not just WWII - plenty of our parents generations who had any time living in the US faced being drafted into Vietnam and Korea and so on), bizarre political instability - Brexit being a good example of it as is Trump, and even on a personal level people run into illness, injuries, family issues and so on.

All I'm saying is that life is about adaptation. COVID-19 is one of those situations where we're all just going to have to work around the problems it's presenting and will continue to present over the next few years. It will mean plans will be delayed, disrupted or changed, but that's just life.

We've had a lucky few decades, far luckier than most of those who've gone before us. Times were generally very predictable.

I just think we all need to take stock, see things in perspective and accept that life can throw things out of kilter now and again.

We're still lucky in the sense we live in a highly developed social democratic country and one that people are willing to pull together in a crisis and deal with it. Keep that sense of perspective as this next year or two will be bumpy but we do have each other and stand behind each other and we will get through it and come out the other side and eventually this will just be a memory that you'll be droning on about in your old age to anyone who'll listen.

In the meantime all any of us can do is be flexible and try and deal with this one day at a time.

People asking questions of Trump, pans to reporter in seated area, the seating is flip down seating at White House, She's sitting in one , but seat next to her has no one in it, so seat is in it's flipped up position, so underneath of seat is viewable, and their is chewing gum stuck all over it. The whole general seated area is filthy in general.

Yeah but there's still the world of havoc this'll wreak on the economy. What about that?

We will all be dealing with that together. Almost all of us are worried about it. To look at it one way: We’re all in this together. A slightly different take on the same message: You’re not special.

When I graduated college at 21 it was into the last major global financial crisis.

It's something that has long struck me looking at photos of people in the media who have died younger. It might be partly why more men die from this compared to women? While obesity affects both, men tend to pile on abdominal fat, which can't be easy on the breathing. Men suffer more from sleep apnoea too and obesity is a major factor in that(though not the only one of course).
