    I would think so. Hopefully it is

    If Germany is not on the green list there is no point in having a list.

    Another Irish business that deserves our support, Croi Restaurant, 14 Prince’s Street, Tralee.

    "Two groups of US diners were turned away from the Croi Restaurant in the historic Princes Street quarter of Tralee after admitting they had not quarantined. They were drop-in diners who came to the door, chef Noel Keane said.

    The refusals took place on Wednesday and Friday of last week."

    Fair dues to them... doing the government's job at a cost to their own business.

    I wish hotels, hostels and guesthouses would do the same - a night out in the rain might convince them to go back to the address where they are supposed to be isolating.

    How much more evidence does the government need that voluntary self isolation is just not working ?

    'Second infection' is equivalent to saying reinfection. I think your question would be more apt if directed at your own post.

    No, you posted articles from February, anything more recent? The latter part of your post is more obtuse and irrelevant as ever.

    Any chance you'd post actual links with actual relevance?

    Your posts are nothing short of you trying to come across as 'i know better' and they aren't very becoming.

    How about drop the narcissism and tell us how you really feel?

    a man in the other group said the Covid-19 pandemic was “over-hyped,”

    Says it all really - ban US visitors now - apart from the ones who won't quarantine we also have the ones who think it's nothing more than a cold

    Here's what enforcement looks like. No point having a rule if you can't enforce it. Businesses shouldn't have to confront people just as much bus drivers shouldn't be responsible for enforcing the mask rule. It's not their job. It is the governments though.

    They should prove that they have two weeks accommodation booked and paid for or a letter from a family member stating quarantine will be observed. Any break and the person or the relative will be fined heavily.

    Could have done this but we advertise via hashtag. Great craic altogether.
    A group of six Victorians fined $24,000 after police busted them trying to cross the Queensland border against coronavirus restrictions were told they might have the disease.

    I'm not saying that it is. I'm saying if it was.

    Also while he is a clumsy dope not everything he says is untrue. He has been right with some of his stuff. In any case I'm sure he has advisers which aren't all idiots.

    Our government has failed us in so many ways. Back in March, it was pubs closing themselves before St Patrick's Day. It was small towns cancelling their parades and four months later we have businesses stepping up again.

    Is it though?

    Because all we care about is hospitalisation and death rates. If nobody got real badly sick and nobody died we wouldnt care how many got this virus.
    Thats what has me wondering about all these record new cases reports every day. You never hear how many died. Must be pretty low then.
    If people stop dying from it its just a cold.


    I mean that the low death rate can be used to dimiss the virus and any preventive measures such as wearing masks.

    The Whitehouse/Trump are also using the low death rate as a sign that they have the virus under control and that the country needs to reopen.

    Today the Whitehouse are attacking Fauci because he hasn't been going along with this narrative.

    Navarro - says it all really
    He was the one saying everyone is getting an injection to stop you catching it (prior to a press conference) over a month ago (among other ludicrous claims of his)

    A pearl of wisdom thats neither here nor there. Someone was dismissing something I said because it 'sounded like Trump'. I said it doesn't and in any case he is not always wrong.

    Why are we talking about Trump now?

    The first major study of patient health after recovery has been released. It is based in Italy, 44% of participants in the study report diminished quality of life and chronic illness 60 days after onset of symptoms.

    Though is it important to note that the study only includes those hospitalised with the virus , and of course this group experienced much worse illness than the majority of infected people.

    Apparently nursing home in Mallow, Cork has been locked down due to a cluster identified in the mass testing. Not sure if it’s true.

    I heard Macroom Home also lockdown

    Put any older person in a bed for a few weeks and their quality of life will deminish drastically, a loss of mobility is a killer

    We will probably start to see lots of more studies like this.

    For context in this country, approximately 13% of those who tested positive were in Hospital per the government covid data hub (3,330 hospital admissions from 25,638 positive cases).

    I know someone who wasn't hospitalised and they have had over a 100 days of symptoms. Hospitalised or not it's not a nice virus to get.

    Yes I'm sure there are other factors to it and I certainly wouldn't say that the percentage of patients found to experience long term effects could necessarily be extrapolated to other groups not represented in the study obviously but it is interesting research nonetheless.

    Some posters voiced concerns about long term illness post recovery and their concerns were dismissed based on other posters anecdontal accounts of people they knew who had recovered fully and the fact that no studies such as the above had been released yet. So the research does validate those concerns to some extent for sure.

    Face coverings to be mandatory in UK shops from July 24. I think it's a question of when not if for us now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,760 ✭✭✭✭ACitizenErased


    HSE Daily Operations Update
    14 in hospital, increase of 3.
    3 confirmed cases in hospital last 24 hours, 2 in Mater and 1 in Letterkenny.

    10 in ICU, decrease of 1.
    No deaths last 24 hours.
    5 ventilations, decrease of 2.

    If it is mostly the invulnerable young getting it, than why the admissions to hospital?

    You'd expect a few to need hospital for oxygen etc.

    There was a time when we were more proactive than the UK - now not so...

    My first time in to Dublin city center since the lockdown today - lots of shop staff wearing masks or shields and screens up
    Even tho I found it really uncomfortable wearing one today (found myself not getting enough oxygen - wearing a cloth mask) the gesture should be reciprocal

    No evidence of reinfections in those articles. My post said that there's zero proof of reinfections and it'd be all over the news if there was.

    If you could point me to actual evidence of reinfections I'd be interested to see it ☺️
