German people are sensible, efficient and work together.

Irish people on the other hand....

I can tell you firsthand that such a sweeping generalisation is far from correct. Different cultures have differences but particularly from a European comparison, the differences are far from vast.

There are plane loads of people arriving into Ireland every day and I was not allowd to attend an elderly relatives funeral.

Leo Varadkar - traitor
Simon Harris - traitor
Simon Coveny - traitor
And now Micheal Martin - traitor

I predict a mass protest on the streets soon.

It's a bit silly. I don't mind his\her posts or attitude but there is no need to sign every post. It's bloody irritating.

LoL i like it podgeandrodge

to be fair when i'm just posting a question or my update or the daily stats i don't include "Regards".
when i reply to a quote i feel more like i'm replying to a letter or email then I follow what i was taught as polite way to reply even when i disagree with someone(I still might be wrong about the idea) but feel it's less like a flame war and more a disagreement that people could resolve

regarding your questions i think people/police would understand and approve.
from your point i would use any make any mask you can or have as it would be hard to think if a few months if something happen you had not taken every chance to protect her. the risk is very very small but everyone who makes it less is doing there part.

side note i would love to think people started to be more polite on the internet due to me using "Regards" but i would also love to win the lotto. think i have more chance of winning the lotto

Regards

Coyote

Why are your regards not kind?

Did you miss #BeKind?

Yours sincerely,

That was his point. Reduce the numbers down to manageable proportions but trying to get it down to 0 would be a total waste of time - it would be doable, but at the cost of your society no longer even existing at any meaningful level.

We could actually get it down to zero in a couple of months. This would reduce the chances of community infection hugely. Those with symptoms would still need to self isolate. And we'd have to restrict visitors to the country.

But it would mean the elderly could meet their children and grandchildren with low risk of infection.

She said reaches capacity, not collapses. But you love doom and gloom so changed the wording.

A fruit farm has confirmed that they flew them over. I rechecked there but their website has crashed confirming their statement saying they are essential workers.

Now their produce is either picked or it will rot. And it goes to your supermarkets that you frequent. I previously posted concerns about their accommodation.

And the reason eastern Europeans have been coming year after year to do work that is back breaking and pays poorly predates the last recession. We Irish are both not willing to do such tough work nor accept the pay on offer. We've sneered at Brexit Brits and yet we're doing the exact same thing.

It's part of a much wider issue about how advanced economies rely heavily on migrants. It's only bring noticed now in both a good and a negative way.

This lockdown will work, I think. It's slowed the spread and bought us time. But we all need to have some sort of PPE on when it gets eased, face masks in particular. If everyone is wearing some sort of face mask, we can stop the virus dead in its tracks, just like in Wuhan and Hong Kong.

Always said our best chance of keeping this low was restrictions starting in late February.

Deaths today are directly linked to bad decisions in late Feb/early March and poor decisions in general such as a failure to protect nursing homes even though we had weeks of notice from Italy.

LRNM · 16-04-2020 09:11PM

Havent been following this thread in weeks, honestly not even going to try catch up.

But have to login to get things off chest.

It's very apparent things are starting to pickup now at work. We were waiting and waiting for weeks, and at times we were often saying "have we dodged a bullet?" while looking at the headlines from the UK and US.

Its been a slow trickle, and thank god we acted earlier than other countries. It gave us time to prepare but this week I've been starting to feel the full whack of it. I really hope it doesn't get any worse than this.

I lost a colleague to covid19 and it really changes everything when it stops being just headlines or patients who are strangers, and suddenly you can put a more personal name and face to the numbers we hear about.

Any other healthcare workers on here?

Hows the PPE situation going for you? We're managing thankfully but my god, I've had to wear full head to toe PPE for upwards of an hour at a time and it's hard going. I feel physically sick in them and its hard to breathe. It hurts your face so much after about 30 minutes.

Today I had to hold back feelings of wanting to vomit.
My goggles had puddles of sweat building up inside them.

Don't know how anybody could do it for more than 1 hour at time without a break.

A lot of the Chinese stuff we're receiving is terrible quality. Utter crap.

I'm appalled when I enter nursing homes. I've had covid positive patients and when we enter the nursing home in full PPE you have entire staff just walking around directly dealing with these patients with only so much as some vinyl gloves (only good for making sandwiches). No gowns, no masks, no face protection.

On a brighter note, what makes me smile so much is the support we're getting from the young ones. The kids off school.

They always wave, cheer at us, give us the biggest smiles. The amount of drawn pictures giving us support brings a tear to my eye.
Honestly after a rough day such a simple thing can make me feel so much better. Keep up the good fight ye legends!
