How can the peak be at the end of the month if the new restrictions came into place in March? Where would all the new cases have come from that would contribute to this new peak?

So far 1 in 15000 have died, man of them elderly in nursing homes, or with underlying conditions.

In 19 days we need to move on.

Instead of dying peacefully in their sleep after spending a long life working hard and raring their children including fcukwits like you, they are left gasping for breath while suffering from covid19. They deserve much better. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Most people are concerned about the fate of the elderly with the odd exception like you.

I’d argue everything you listed is critical. What about mammograms as someone else mentioned, angiograms, endoscopy..etc etc, are these all going ahead. Essential that are completed, but critical unless the patient is in an emergency situation, in a lot of cases no. Or not yet

Oh look, it's the fun police. Just tucking into my easter egg now and thought you might like to know that it's delicious.

Enjoy, if you have too many left you can melt them down and make all sorts of treats.

You might even get them on 1/2 price tomorrow, if you are willing to risk the easter egg shamers.

Only if they are not half afraid to visit their doctor.

Those who have tested positive but are still awaiting results because of the backlog.

That's not happening in ireland and you know it. If the lockdown isnt lifted there will be nothing for many people to return to.

Everyoneis concerned. But we need balance.

Some people still think they'll be going to Albruferia in July.

A lot still in the denial stage.

Got a text of someone the other day asking me should they cancel their holiday to Portugal in late May.

Obviously I said yes and they were still unsure if that answer was the correct guidence.

Jesus wept.

You are right.

Lets lockdown forever.

They will die far worse if there is no money.

Like in Ecuador where they dump them on the street for collection.

Or New York where they are buried in mass graves.

But lets lockdown forever.

You keep saying you don’t mean lift all restrictions immediately, you think that’s mischaracterising what you’re saying.

But you’re happy to mischaracterise what others are saying as “lockdown forever”.

I agree & they should be tested. One "super spreader" supermarket worker could infect a lot of people. It's even stranger given how slow they were to implement safety measures. But are people's occupations being published ?

Not being published but I'd imagine if a bunch of workers from one particular supermarket were getting sick you'd hear about it on the social media grapevine.

You don't actually know. There are reports of painkillers running short in the UK already.

In scientific terms how does covid 19 look different than other corona virus, are they shaped differently or contain a specific amount of something.I know they look at DNA, magnify it and can see various virus types present, what's does covid 19 look like

Good job on not reading my post, quoting only the hyperbole part to respond to. Fair play.

They won't get to Portugal, most airlines (Ryanair, Easyjet) estimate that schedules may not restart till June 17th and that's only current guidance, could go on into July before planes are back up and running.

I'll put it like this.

I have 11 nights in Lanzarote booked for mid july. If airlines are flying and resorts are open ill be going. Especially if there is no refunds offered or vouchers given in lieu.

If it goes on much longer the whole aviation industry may never recover.

Airbus and Boeing will have no customers so what will happen them.

But lots of people here want to grandstand that everything should be locked down indefinately to protect people in nursing homes.

They are off their rocker if they think they will be flying again anytime this summer. Without a vaccine airlines as we know them are finished for the foreseeable.

In an ideal world everyone would die peacefully in their sleep like a Disney movie. But unfortunately this doesn't happen in the real world, there are thousands of different viruses and diseases which kill elderly people...even a small fall can kill an elderly person.

The reason I asked is as follows.
Friday night tubs and Amy huberman spent 20 minutes waffling about how important the whole social distancing was, and how it’s vital that we all stay at home.
Fair enough so far yeah?
“I hear you got a dog”says tubs to finish an already sh1te interview up.
It’s not bad enough the late late insist on interviewing either Amy huberman or Brian o Driscoll once a week but now they are interviewing the fcukin dog.
So away goes Amy and lands back with the dog and explains that the gardener and painter were holding the dog in the hall while the interview was on Incase it would bark.
What’s the story with that?
Tubs and huberman the 2 wafflers caught waffling.ye all stay home but we can carry on as normal.
Do as I say and not as i do.
Did anyone else see that farce?

To be fair one of them should have explained the running joke that she refers to her husband as the painter/gardener but I think you are overly offended by a LLS segment. I found Amy discussing her worries having her Dad in a nursing home very interesting she also tried to keep positive and upbeat which I think most people appreciate.

It’s a terrible indictment of the leadership, Varadkar in particular.

When all the confetti has blown away, from the ‘ohh look aren’t we modern, we elected a homosexual to be our head of state’ party... what we actually elected was a bunch of horrid right wing fûckers who when they had opportunity and expert information to get ahead of this, be proactive, save lives, their major priority was enabling people who like to make money, to continue doing so... to hell with the wellbeing of the citizens of Ireland their priority is enabling the health and wellbeing of balance sheets.

He is advocating for an indefinite lockdown.

If we lockdown for any longer after the 5th of May a lot of people will have nothing to return too. That is a legitimate concern for many.

What he is saying is manipulative.

Im all for protecting the most at risk groups but destroying our economy isnt the way to do it.
