They're also very unlikely to even know that they are infected.

Isn't that great?

And in the meantime the have the potential to infect anyone they get that little bit too close to ..including their elderly relatives, their colleagues / customers with underlying conditions, etc.

It's so tiring that months into this thing this simple fact still has to be explained over and over and over again:mad:

Social distancing solves that problem.

Our government are amazing. Clearly they are of the opinion that we are all stupid. Just keeping the head down saying nothing about any changes in the spread of covid-19 and our schools reopening is still full steam ahead. Released stuff on Friday evening about it so they didn't have to face questions about it and give people the whole weekend to think about the questions asked.
We badly need new younger politicians in a new party to get rid of this deadwood.

Reading a good book at the moment and there was a good quote in it.
Book is michael t. osterholm, Deadliest Enemy: Our War Against Killer Germs.
Written before current situation but updated preface.
There's an audio book too.
Highly recommend it.

I used to be a teacher and from discussions with my former colleagues you can expect exactly the same thing here unless the unions start to negotiate for blended learning.

Absolutely. You better fcucking believe it!

Tell you what, you go and socially distance a load of youngsters and report back with your findings.

Some interesting new data.

This is the kind of data that interests me and explains why a lot of people are assympthomatic. How many of us were assympthomatic back in march but obviously never tested.

It's awful we will never ever find out the true case toll. Probably 10 times higher if the IFR of 0.6% is to be believed.

Could say the same about the pensioner who bought a house for 10K for house in 80s and didn’t care about inflation. Now house worth 500K and young people can’t afford a house.

“Nothing we can do sorry”

The same pensioner who paid 60% tax and faced 17% interest rate on mortgages?

Every generation faces challenges.

caveat emptor · 16-08-2020 09:08PM

Don't know what's going on the site.

We are constantly being divided.

Pensioner vs Young person.
Rural vs Urban
Cork vs everyone

It's just an attempt to so discontent to distract from the real issues.

Of course pensioners had it tougher.
Young people have a candy floss illusion that everything is awesome
but a large percentage will never be able to own a home.

Sorry for biting, I'm neither generation.

The Antibodies test says 6% of the UK population have had it out the 100,000 volunteers. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/largest-home-antibody-testing-programme-for-covid-19-publishes-findings

Wondering do we lose the antibodies after a while, would they have got the same results 3mts earlier?.

The fact is a 10K loan for a house bought in 1980 doesn't look like very much in todays Monopoly money.
So any loans taken today at negative interest rates will not look like very much in 30 years time.

It's besides the public health debate. EU is introducing massive stimulus whether we avail of it or not.

Closing the restaurants/food pubs is the strongest card they have to play but actual facts and evidence would say it's the wrong target and the meat factories should be shut down.

harr · 16-08-2020 09:17PM

Angry tonight with talk about further restrictions all down to some current rules not being implemented we are suffering because of lock down especially here in kildare because various rules not being policed.
Meat factory issues highlighted months ago , direct provision centres also flagged . Dame lane issue a few weeks back and again yesterday .. this current spike could have been prevented if inspections had of happened..
The government have no one else to blame only themselves over the current spike in cases, and they have a nerve to try make people who are adhering to The rules Suffer further.

I have been in 3 restaurants/food pubs the last week and I have never felt safer,tables well spread out,staff wearing masks and all table service,no mingling of people,if the government decide to close these considering the clusterfook in meat factories then it's safe to say the government haven't a clue what they are doing

Is this the same virus that nearly killed Boris?
Now it's Neil Fergusson's model's fault that it's not a killer virus.

They only decided to lockdown after they all got sick. I'd say their firsthand experience was more influential.

I'll save anyone else the effort of reading that, don't. Written by a "stock market investor and commentator".

Funnily enough it says that the UK modelers estimated the IFR was 0.66%, which has turned out to be quite accurate.

Thanks. Seemed crazy to me given the highlighted sources but now you’ve pointed it out it’s interesting that it worked.
