Real time as in active cases. -No its primarily old people and those near the end of life. -What evidence exists to show the effectiveness of restrictions? Harris today once again claimed that 3500 people had been saved here and again referenced completely flawed models

But the fact the link below and it shows that the hospital figures are measured at midnight on the day detailed The age breakdown from tte same link clearly shows that Covid-19 affects the both young and old. I I detailed this in the post you replied to in case you missed it . It's there in black and white. Deny it if you like. It doesnt change the facts.https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/6185ef-statement-from-the-national-public-health-emergency-team-thursday-30/#hospital-statistics I see you also refuse to believe that restrictions in China and Italy didnt help reduce the rate of infection in those countries? Really? You do know that the pandemic is global? And it's not just Harris yeah? Reckon best leave off with the party political bashing. Theres enough ****e to deal without that type of bs. The amount of it on this thread is more like an Ard Deis special tbh.

Or the annual overcrowded hospital wards during flu season? Or the waiting lists that see many people die before they get the treatment they need? The buses up north for the cataract surgeries? It's all bluster and self-aggrandizing. Of course they have done less testing than they promised. Of course they are vague on when the restrictions could potentially be eased (for now). They couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery with Oliver Reed and George Best.

I'm well under 40, but immunocompromised, so the company have questioned my feelings on a return to work (I'm happy to go back, I need to get out of the house), are providing PPE and additional PPE just for me because of my health condition, and are supporting me in any way possible - which included giving me the option of continuing to stay at home on full pay. Lots and lots of places are going to slowly start reopening, the likes of companies where working from home isn't viable.
