    China was in lockdown for two months. And they done it properly. That I can handle but not this half arsed lockdown dragging it on when people don't take it seriously.

    We still have people jogging on the footpaths here not a mask in sight. Our "lockdown" is an absolute farce.

    Is there an argument to be made for reporting Nursing home deaths and cases separately, because realistically lock down measure will be having little to no affect on them?

    I had thought about that earlier on - but at the end of the day - while deaths are an issue - it's the numbers in hospital and ICU that needs to be looked at - If hospitals are overrun with people under the age o 70, then reporting that large % of deaths in nursing homes, will only make the hospital situation worse, which to be honest I don't think people think about - all they talk about are deaths.

    i think everyone should be wearing a mask outside now.

    or use a scarf.

    Only if masks are worn properly. The problem is if they are not then they could be more hindrance than help. Besides there is a dire shortage of the proper type.

    My neighbor who is a carer, is sitting out the front of her house having a BBQ with her sons (who don't live in the house with her), cutting each others hair with their tops off. One son works security for the Luas. His GF comes over in another car with the 5 y/o son. Another two people show up who Iv never seen before. Its difficult to not notice this as they are the last house on the cul-de-sac, having a knockabout listening to scummer FM. These are the type who ruin it for everyone.

    Sure tell random people on boards - make some people anxious instead of either going up and telling them this or calling your local Garda station and reporting them.

    So many people on social media posting about said people, but not wanting to be the ones to be civil and just tell someone to cop on.

    You want the chinese measures, bandit? Lock everybody into houses?

    About the only extra thing we can do is ban joggers in certain areas, footpaths in urban areas etc. Not much more we can do, evidenced by the fact that your only complaint is joggers.

    The reality with this situation is that no matter how well we manage this lockdown, no matter how low we bring the R0 number, it doesn't matter. We could eradicate covid 19 in Ireland in the morning, and someone would come in on a plane or ferry in the afternoon and the cycle starts again.

    The fact is that what we, and most other countries, are engaged in, is a holding manoeuvre. We are trying to buy time to allow our medical services to adapt, and allow our scientists to develop effective treatments and eventually a vaccine.

    We will nearly all get this. The elderly and ill can be shielded but it will require enormous care, and they must remain out if public. Those who interact directly with them will probably have to do the same. This will be life changing for many. Some elderly people obviously dont understand, or dont care, and I can empathize with the latter. They have decided that if they go they go.

    This is like a military rearguard. How long can the economies of Europe and the world hold to allow us fight this action, is what will determine how long it lasts.

    Why that should be respected they should be remind that the health service doesnt care if you are willing to meet your maker, they still have to treat you. So the more elderly who are a peace with the idea of contracting this for the sake of trying to live on as normal, the more strained the health service will be.

    We need people welded into their homes like the Chinese did with hidings if you stick your nose out the window.

    That's a real lock down.

    Leave the mask stock for the ones who will need it
    Everyone outside should be educated to stay home

    How are you getting shopping if not going outside?
    Tried ordering online for my dad and sister, closet slot was three weeks, went ahead with it and it was cancelled on the morning that they were to deliver.

    My sister lives across the road from him and as she is still driving to work in public service position, is doing shopping for both of them.

    My brother in law was in bergamo in italy in late jan and madrid in March
    He was very sick when he came back and applied for a test
    They came out to test him after about 10 days then he was waiting weeks for the result
    Last Wednesday he got the results saying he was negative
    Today they rang him back saying he is positive
    You can make up this ****

    I think fergal bowers wrote something yesterday that a healthcare worker was told they were negative and a few days later a phone call saying they were positive.

    Jesus....you'd be hoping anyone testing positive or awaiting results

    Would have enough commonsense to stay in anyway

    Yeah, you would... but hope don't float!

    In reality, our total cases is probably more in the 90,000 - 180,000 range (at least). We are not testing anywhere near enough people, and the results turn around time is abysmal too!

    People who seem to think we're doing okay, are completely delusional as far as I'm concerned. We're struggling.

    Some posters roll the Irish deaths in with the northern Irish deaths. So that number is for the whole island. 33 here in the ROI

    Ireland is 13th in the world for deaths per million. That said that raw statistics hides a lot. Spain has3 50 cases per 1M and we have 65. The US, with much lower density than Ireland, is at 61. The thing is the US reports later than Ireland so they generally catch up over night.
