Gee I wish I was 22 again and my biggest worry was my current entry level job and a part time degree...wow...

I'd go on the dole for 6 months, get a sharp haircut and swipe right on everything, everything on Tinder.

I'd need another 6 months to recover.

I have been reading the figures and I have to say that for a country that is very urbanised and has light restrictions compared to the rest of Europe Sweden is not actually doing to badly.

86 deaths, so far, per million population doesn't agree with you.

From what I’m seeing I’m more concerned how the general public are abusing restrictions. A party out my neighbors back again, about 12 people going a little ape.

Ring the Gardai, i would.

Is anyone going to shine the light or something tomorrow night ?

RTE are suggesting sending lit lanterns up into the night sky at the exact same time there is an orange fire warning in place and the emergency services are kinda busy with this pandemic thing - sure what could possibly go wrong? :rolleyes:

I have to say, of all the stupid suggestions I've heard this one is in the top five.

As of Wednesday night? I'm still confused to be honest.
So 7K doesn't include German results and is up to Wednesday night.

8K is up to Wednesday night including all the previous tests that were sent to Germany.

or 8k is including all results up until tonight?

Always best to stick to one number going forward.

There are three figures given.

7071. This is the total number confirmed up until Wednesday midnight - whether tests were analysed in Germany or in Ireland. The further statistics he gave (median, sex, number admitted to hospital, number admitted to ICU, etc) are all based on this group.

7074. This is the number of cases confirmed by Irish laboritories up until sometime this afternoon. This is the number they have been tracking daily all along.

8089. This is the number of cases confirmed by Irish plus German laboritories up until the same time this afternoon. The 1015 German cases confirmed yesterday and today (ie 8089-7074) represent "historic" infections, ie, probably from two weeks ago or so.

As I understand it anyway.

It's an absolute nightmare but the fear would be that anyone coming in off the street would be carrying the infection with them.

Horrendous situation for the affected families though.

900 of these cases each day in Spain Italy UK etc.

Yet people need to escape their prison cell that is home.

Ryan Tubridy just had a mild cough. I don't understand how people are getting it worse.

It's not about anyone having a good time and us not, its about them spreading the virus around whilst we all make a considerable effort not to.

I wouldn't hesitate for a second to ring the Gardai for others having a party or barbecue etc..in my estate given the present circumstances.

They are prolonging the lockdown for everybody with such sh1thouse behaviour.

Funsterdelux · 10-04-2020 08:41PM

I hope Ryan Tubridy has stopped shedding the virus.

Yup.
An utterly braindead Idea.
Let's honour Frontline Workers by littering the countryside with literally flaming material that could potentially start gorse fires and injury domestic animals and wildlife.

I'm sure the firefighters, farmers, rescues, and vets are thrilled to be thus honoured.

With so much vacant space in hospitals at the moment could they not put patients near death in a separate area away from others as much as possible?

And they are all getting paid. And chose the job. I have the height of respect for them but some are just short of beatifying them.

It’s 480 today and the rest are backdated, we sent them to Germany earlier in the week and got the results back today.

Interesting point Wibbs.
When the ratio came out in China, some pointed to smoking.

The western media did, the Chinese didn't so much. They noted the odd finding that while smokers if they did end up in ICU's faired worse, but appeared to not come down with it in the first place, or at least not bad enough to get them to hospital. In the age range of 40 to 60 50+% of Chinese men smoke, yet of those same age ranges presenting to hospital only 13% were smokers. If it was hitting them harder you'd expect to see many more, never mind that smokers are more likely to have cardiovascular illness too*. From what I gather on the Chinese and Italian stats asthmatics were also not particularly hit badly. Again a bit unexpected. Cardiovascular disease seems to be the biggie as far as risks go. I did read on very small sample of British patients in a covid ward and out of 30 something IIRC, only one was underweight, a few were normal weight, the rest, the majority were obese or morbidly obese.

Finding the raw data isn't so easy. The Wuhan stuff is easy enough to find, but they're pretty small sample sizes. No doubt it's because medical staff are so run off their bloody feet they really can't be arsed getting into that just yet and any medical research types who are qualified in medicine are getting stuck in themselves. regional factors are surely at play too. Level of local pollution, Asians not nearly so troubled with obesity as say Americans, or Irish for that matter, so that could be missed, even local genetic population differences too.

*If there's any case here, I wonder is it because smoke being so toxic buggers this particular virus too? Or smokers cough more on a daily basis because their cilia are fecked so move more crap out of the lungs because of their hacking coughs? Smoking is about the worst thing you can do to your health, but like anything there are a tiny few things where it appears to be protective. Ulcerative colitis is one. Smokers almost never get it. Takes the edge off ADHD too.

The father of a family friend has been in hospital, dying, the past 10 days with absolutely no visitors. Only this morning they were all sent for as it won’t be long now.
Surely people deserve to be surrounded by loved ones as they approach the end of life no matter what?

People have been posting this for weeks, so that people can learn how serious this **** is.

Everyone should just stop and think, if you have a loved one, imagine now being not allowed to be with that person in the last days/moments of their lives.

Pick up the phone, Skype or Facetime said person you never know what might happen no matter how healthy they are
