    Watching george lee on rte and he comments that in March we had some of the lowest numbers of icu beds available in Europe.
    What number was that?
    What number is it now?
    Surely we have built/ acquired more icu beds in 7 months?

    its not literal beds, its nurses + docs + hcas

    Restaurant owner in disagreement about how a virus is spread shocker.

    I think he made a fair point.

    If you can put in place a system your business can be safe. Look at barbers and hairdressers. Most appointments are at close range for over 15mins and they arent a hotspot for covid spreading.

    Government has released an infographic explaining whats what as regards restrictions in Dublin

    MM said regarding travel, people are advised not to travel in/out of county Dublin, except for essential work and for educational reasons.
    That's not as strong as prohibited from travelling in and out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,844 ✭✭✭Wolf359f


    How many hospitalisations this week? What was the media age of these hospitalisations? How many people will be jobless tomorrow?

    And we all know that these are not the businesses who are causing this.
    31 hospitalised this week so far.

    The current approach reminds me of the war on drugs. Surely to shut down house parties and big uncontrolled congregations in people's houses you instead provide safe controlled environments in pubs and restaurants...eh no we will instead leave people no social outlet but to instead congregate in their homes, bloody idiots.

    presser on now. rte player news

    “50,000 Staff will be laid off this evening right across the capital”.

    Rather that than 50,000 dead

    I've just seen 44 as the tally for last 7 days with 14 in ICU


    It might seem like overkill but RTE should be showing every press briefing live on RTE One. Shuffled away on News Now is a big strategic failure to get the message across.

    The one household 6 people limit is confusing.

    Can I see my family who do not live with me?

    Can my parents mind my child?

    As if we needed to hear from Eamon Ryan right now

    So is this going to be like before when Gardai turning people back on the roads? I haven’t seen anything about this yet.

    Ah look it a wedding is a big thing here.

    Great times now to curtail all the mullarkey, with due respect to the peripheral industries involved.

    Does anyone say WOW we are invited to a wedding, up country, three day event the works. Can't wait for the craic. Doubt it personally, even pre Covid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,784 ✭✭✭froog


    ffs no one needs to hear from ryan right now.

    If it is only one household at a time then it's fine but a max of 6 people from that household.

    Sam McConkey said back in March that we could have 20,000 dead. That was averted by lockdown then and it'll be averted again by this one.

    Eamonn Ryan - why?

    Yes to both.

    But someone brought up the nonsense of that one on the radio during the week too.

    6 only from one other household.. Grand. When they go home you can immediately have another 6 over. Or - as I take that further - what if you had a BBQ in the front garden and they stood outside your gate?

    Completely unworkable and the Gardai will have no powers to check anyway

    What do you want to do though, seriously? Just keep everything as pre-covid and let it run through the country?
    The roll of the dice is that venues where people gather in close proximity are liable to spread virus. 12 years ago the roll of the dice was that builder's and site workers were screwed. If we allow the virus to spread without check it would be Brazil here. It is the leading cause of death there this past while. If you were Emperor of Ireland could you stand over 30 or more people dying of it every day in a few months and do nothing? What would you do?

    Personally I have no clue why creative people have not come up with a load of ways for people to have the craic outdoors in a safer way. Big huge geodomes, with open sides. Monster marquees. Personal zorbs. Hats that are umbrellas, that not only keep you dry but keep everyone a bit away from each other!

    I hear you. I think we're not at a serious hospitalisation situation though, or approaching that yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I'm confused that I can't go on holidays within Ireland but I can go to a few European countries and enjoy a couple of weeks reasonably unrestricted services.

    Perhaps the key here is who/how many are going to hospital. Not saying to hell with the vulnerable, but the vulnerable do have to take precautions, as do those that come into contact with them. But public opinion will veer towards let it rip, if the situation is that for most people it'll be 'ok'.

    Should anyone feel comfortable suggesting despite his qualifications that McConkey is an idiot?
