Calm before the storm guys. It will be carnage out there when the second wave hits. October, November, December, January, February, and March all going to be pretty grim. I like most right thinking people am completely terrified. My recent panic attack in Tesco was the longest few minutes of my life as I lumbered from the health and beauty aisle to the exit leaving my basket full of essentials behind me.

Mayhem on the way. The just a flu brigade has swelled to a relax the restrictions army. Chaos will reign and Ireland will burn.

I wouldn't call it a panic attack per se Paddy - it was a rational reaction to the unfolding disaster surrounding us right now. Wishing you well at this time.

Look after yourself first and foremost Paddy.

It is indeed going to be a rough Autumn/Winter and im worried a lot are just burying their heads in the sand and pretending we haven't got a major incoming health emergency on our hands.

We need adults in charge and im afraid what we have is now a government that i wouldnt trust with hedge trimmer never mind the well being of the nation.

One upshot is that with continued social distancing and mask usage, the seasonal flu epidemic is likely to be severely reduced this coming winter. We might not actually witness the annual news stories about the hospital trolley crisis.

Don't worry guys, Covid is gone forever. There's 6 in hospital and it'll be gone come Sunday. Theres zero evidence of long term effects, stop being such a doom monger. Ok, so there's like 2 examples, plenty of others that are fine, I think you're enjoying being scared. Ok Ok, so it's 91% of nurses, but they're probably just a bit tired from working, can't believe you're pulling yourself over this. It's all fine.

:rolleyes:

Anyway, does this thread really need to descend into these stupid back-and-forth arguments all the time? Theres loads we don't know, it's ok to be cautious and learn more about it, may help to calm people the more you know. It's also ok to not worry so much and look on the bright side, may help to calm you too. It just depends on your outlook.

I like this thread 80% of the time when people are quoting figures and discussing nuances between different countries results and actions, etc. It's clear some people worry too much more than I do, while others dont care are more carefree than I am. It's like anyone driving slower than you is an idiot and anyone driving faster is an idiot.

A major driver of flu is the schools then the home.

Not much social distancing or mask usage planned for either.

I mean part of me gets annoyed at your trolling. But to be honest, I kind of admire it. I read your posts, tut, and then giggle at the follow up posts of people telling you chin up etc.

There are some great minds in our government in fairness, thank god that the Simon H is still there. Simon said recently that there is no guarantee of restrictions lifting on the 10th and Simon is at the cutting edge of our governments Covid19 battle plans. At this stage of the new normal I think it is time a minister for Coronavirus was appointed and a whole new department created as a measure to deal with the emergency.

General advice- spend a few minutes researching complications associated with influenza, rheumatic fever, chicken pox in adults and other common viruses. Covid is significantly more serious than flu, less serious than mers and sars 1, but the types of complications associated with it are not unusual

Just quoting this in case people didn't see it. It's very important that people read about the complications associated with other viral infections in order to get a bit of perspective.

We have studied other viral infections for over a 100 years, our knowledge of this new one is barely in the door.

Calm down, there may be a few things we don't about it.

I agree, NPHET have done a great job, but what a lot don't realize is there role is only advisory. Although some may argue they have at times been a puppet government.

Hence the need for a Minister for Coronavirus and a Department of Coronavirus personed by a dedicated team of civil servants who will consult with experts to devise strategies for the long term war on Covid19.

Not to be funny, but people affected by this won't have the resources to sue the government.

https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/0729/1156284-cystic-fibrosis-face-masks/

A teenager living with cystic fibrosis has spoken of the importance of people wearing face coverings to help protect the vulnerable in our society.

Benat Broderick's tweet saying there was "no excuse" for not wearing a face mask went viral on Twitter earlier this month.

The 16-year-old from Dublin was motivated to write the tweet when he saw "online people using excuses" for not wearing face coverings.

Surely, CF sufferers and others with seriously underlying physical health problems can wear special respiratory masks, i.e. the masks that have filters on them.

You’re agreeing with a very obvious (and hilarious) troll account.
