    Surely someone will be held accountable for this nursing home scandal? A lot of good was done but it's criminal how nursing homes have been devastated.


    Happened everywhere around the world. Impossible to solve, you need a lot of staff, and they have to interact with those guests staying in those homes, and they love making their ham sandwiches , in fact in a report on Virgin One it showed people in nursing home tucking into Ham Sandwiches. The handling and touching of surfaces that go into a sandwich is CRAZY in current climate.

    Crazy, these people lived through the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, World War 1, World War 2, and where finally killed by a fcuking Ham Sandwich !

    Really? Because when the case numbers were bad I’m pretty sure you were going on about how you can’t make any insight into case numbers because it all depends on how many had been tested in total in the last 24 hours? Now, when the deaths are by far the worst figure we’ve seen so far, cases are being called “the one to watch”. When will people realise we’re not doing all that well right now...
    We are doing well. It's unfortunate that we are seeing the disease in vulnerable indoor populations, but every country is having the same problem in nursing homes, mental institutions, hospitals, jails etc. The real number of new infections is dropping, and the evidence for this is the ICU numbers are decreasing.

    You can't compare numbers across countries. The UK figures are nonsense, as are the US. Italy was under-counting deaths significantly, as were the French.

    God it’s very sad and depressing. So many families devastated.

    I’m finding it hard to stay positive now, it’s like looking into an eternity of bad news.

    But have to hold out..

    Number of new cases is falling.

    ICU numbers are improving.

    Those are the ones to watch, and they are moving in the right direction.

    Anyone got comments on today’s figures? Why are they still so high?

    Simple, the virus is spreading because we didn't do a good enough job containing it when we had a golden opportunity to do so... (the nursing homes being the most glaring example)

    Government incompetence - backed up by deluded cheerleaders in our population, who cannot see the wood from the trees! Or just merely choose not to.

    Some lads only want to see the worst in everything and "lockdown until 2021" is their mantra.

    You are short staff all year round because you wont pay the wages. Just look at the high turnover of staff. Private Nursing homes only care about profit. In or around €1200 per week for one resident! Madness

    The government did a lot of good, but their handling of nursing homes has been catastrophic.

    What good have they done?

    The lockdown is a shambles, groups of Travellers coming from the UK for funerals.

    The testing has been a shambles, results delayed by weeks.

    And the handling of nursing homes has been a shambles.

    Have you figures that prove private nursing homes are doing worse than public homes? Or are you just using this for a political agenda?

    Without the government restrictions we'd have 100,000+ cases. We have some of the highest testing numbers in Europe.

    And let's overlook the 77 unfortunate people who passed away, the highest tally yet. An inconvenient statistic which doesn't fit your selective focus.

    Implementing the lockdown when they did was a good thing

    Otherwise there would have been many more dead!

    No figures but it's fairly obvious, do you watch the news? Or read?
