Phew! That's good to know. So you're saying that there's no long lasting damage to those that recover from this?

Answer me this - do you think having a piece of cloth over your mouth & nose prevents more, less or indifferent the amount of droplets that are released into a room if someone talks, coughs or sneezes?

A piece of cloth, mask, muzzle or whatever you want to call it is ineffective for several reasons part of which is how they are used but the chances of contracting the virus are extremely low and the chances of death are even lower.

Yesterday it was five deaths, four of which related to April and June. So we had one person who died from Covid and the whole country has been whopped into a frenzy with mandatory face masks, which is effectively a form of compelled speech, yet there is no mention of what the normal mortality rates are, no mention of recovery rates and no mention of ICU admissions yet we have people who cannot wait to show their compliance to wear a muzzle and show how they will openly and willfully snitch on fellow citizens who have no option to debate or argue against these decrees being imposed on them all because 1 person per day has died?

The Dail is on holiday, the government keeps working. We only need the Taoiseach and about 3 ministers to keep it all ticking over at present!

Ticking over :rolleyes:

Positive correlation between air travel and outbreak in US in early stage epidemic.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.06.20140285v1.full.pdf+html

As mentioned before, one possible major driver of the diffusion pattern is air traffic.
We compare the ordering of states according to. their air travel volume to their epidemic order as previously defined (Fig. 4C).
We consider both national and international traffic, and find a positive correlation (τ = 0.65 with p < 0.001)
between the epidemic ordering derived from surveillance data and air traffic,
suggesting the passenger volume of both international and national traffic are key factors driving the early phases of outbreak across the country

The correlation between the air travel ordering and the simulations is high
(τ = 0.83, p < 0.001) as actual airline data are used in the model to simulate the mobility of individuals (see SM)

The results also indicate that the source of introduction of SARS-CoV-2 infections into the US changed substantially and rapidly through time.
While early importations were from international sources,
most introductions occurred during February and March 2020.
Our results indicate that many states were seeded from domestic sources
rather than international. The presented results could be of potential interest in combination
with sequencing data of SARSCoV-2 genomes in order to reconstruct in greater
detail the early epidemic history of the US

Unfortunately the people working in the meat factories don't live in the meat factories, they live shop and socialise in the same places as you and I

I fully agree that there should be uproar but it shouldn't be directed at the Government, NPHET or anyone having to enforce lockdown. It should be directed at the factory owners and management who didn't implement effective controls and against people who aren't taking public health advice seriously enough

The government knew it was happening and they did nothing. Of course it should be directed at government.
