    Have you changed soap? I got red hands from using hand sanitizer (when I was out and about) but when I was just washing with soap and water, I didn't have many problems.



    Maybe get some moisturizer next time you're at the shops.

    Make sure to dry your hands properly when you wash with soap and water. And you should hand-moisturiser several times per day

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    We are doing all time-critical surgeries (including cancer surgeries) in the hospital. It a person’s condition will deteriorate and cause a significant impact on their health, the surgery is proceeding. There are still theatres running for operations in the hospital every day of the week

    I said essential, not critical. Only those with heart attack getting stents for example. It’s the procedures that prevent patient’s becoming critical that are impacted, and can only go on for a period of time before these problems become critical.

    An Taoiseach warns us that we haven’t even hit the peak of this, but makes no mention of upgrading our fake lockdown.

    You always see loads of people out jogging without masks or anything spreading their germs. People congregating in parks. Time for a real lockdown!

    Yeah 1 in 15000 of our population are now dead, many of them in nursing homes too.

    600 people die every week in Ireland. Often from nursing homes.

    If somebody has a bowel, bladder, throat, etc cancer, this will be completed. If they have a query cancer, the diagnostic process will proceed. If somebody has a blockage in a blood vessel and it needs to be unblocked, this will be completed. If somebody has a fractured bone, this will be completed. If somebody needs a C-section, this will be completed. If somebody has appendicitis, this will be completed. If somebody is bleeding or has a burst bowel, this will be completed. I could continue on with the list. Essential surgeries are completed in the hospital

    Some interesting data, but I notice some of the younger patients are listed with hypertension as pre existing condition. An awful lot of people in thier 40s and 50s have undiagnosed hypertension

    Lockdown will be lifted on a phased basis from May 5th regardless of the status of Covid.

    The Economy needs to be kick started.

    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.

    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

    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.
