I suspect that's due to hospitals getting tighter with who they admit for fear of our capacity.

So you’re saying hospitals have been admitting people who don’t need to be in hospital at all? That’s more positivity right there.

Ah Jesus stop, if that's anything to go by if I get this covid I'm completely f..led. Anytime I've had the flu it's been horrendous.

Except for the times you've been asymptomatic and didn't even know you had it.

This is a great idea focus on an indicator that lags 3 to 4 weeks behind the one you are currently using. A great way to make quick and timely decisions. :rolleyes:

Yes lets follow Belgium.

2,600 cases yesterday and one of the highest death tolls in the world.

Good man Jim.

You should have doused the scrote with sanitiser.

It's hyperbole sure but I don't see how it considers cancer or covid to be a joke.

Disgusting comment? You're really going to have explain why.

Blaming young people for not sticking to the rules is hilarious.

Children and teenagers are all mixing and their parents are in their 30s, 40s and 50s.

They are not stopping their kids from mixing. All age groups, perhaps with the exception of the elderly, are not complying with the rules.

The negativity in this thread is ridiculous. The posters who are now permanently afraid and scared of Covid. I think ye might need to actually leave your house and go for a walk or a pint. It can’t be good for ye to be stuck inside worrying constantly about how people are getting on with things. A good pint of Guinness and a few packs of tayto will sort ye all out!
Great to see hospitalisations decrease over the last 24 hours.

I think most of them probably have being working from home last 6 months or so and haven't being living in the real world, most of the people who go to work every day are just getting on with it, practising safe measures and wondering what all the fuss is about.

Micky 32 · 03-10-2020 12:27PM

If someone asked me do i think masks work i really wouldn’t know how to answer that to be honest because i really feel that i don’t know, so many conflicting reports. I do wear one when around people i’m working with and in shops as a courtesy and of course for the “ just incase they work” i have no problem with that at all.

My partner works in a small shop. One of the girls she works alongside tested positive ( she was down the country with a large group of friends. A load of them tested positive on their return)

Luckily my partner wasn’t working with her on her return. However she was working with another girl that had worked with her all day alongside her the previous day. They were in close proximity for most part too. Girl B got tested and the result was negative to the relief of my partner.

The interesting bit is that both of those girls wore masks the whole time. Make of that what you will.

Agreed. That cluster used as an example at the press conference during the week were not children or teenagers. Great for that couple having a really active social life, but jesus could they not tone it down just a little bit during a pandemic?

There's plenty of "family" get-togethers happening at the moment - I know it's family, but there's a number of different family groupings at each of them, and they each have their own social circles in turn. Adults need to cop themselves on too, and it won't kill them to postpone grandads 70th birthday party to this time next year.

I have zero respect for anyone that questions the parenting of others based on your own fears. Here's a question I'd be interested in a response. You take issue with people sending their kids to school, what do you suggest frontline workers do? Stay at home with their kids? You described the children going to school as Guinea pigs.

Why are you picking out frontline workers? It's the same decision for all parents.
You just have to find a way to make it work. If you have two parents then you can work it so one is at home.
As regards single parents, I don't really know. It's a tough situation even without a pandemic and I have no experience of being in that position.
Thing is that if kids with two parents were staying at home then there'd be plenty of space in creches and schools for those from single parent families. It might actually be safe.
Children going to school are guinea pigs for the government providing stats on the spread of the virus in badly ventilated buildings.
They are also guinea pigs for parents like me, I didn't make the decision for them, who decided to wait and see how things were going in the schools.
My plan was to wait until just before Halloween and make a decision then on whether to send them back at that time.
I finally got numbers on positive tests in schools and it's been going up week after week so my kids aren't going back this year.
I'm still trying to find out what happens if a child is in a class that's sent home due to a case and then gets tested while at home and is found to have coronavirus. It appears these kids are not added to the school numbers but are added to cases in the home.

Very interesting that, last time they had figures that high, there was 500 dead a day from it. Now we are at 15. Very same curve and lag times as February and March.

No worse than the delusional brigade who refuse to accept that Covid is a serious illness and who want to carry on having their house parties etc. as if it had never appeared.

Masks are not a biohazard suit, they reduce but do not eliminate transmission. It is all a question of percentages, if transmission is reduced so that R is less than one then the virus dies out, if R is more than 1 then it gets worse each week.

And just on this, when are you going to understand that there's no fear in my life.
I just take all the information given from good sources, whether positive or not, evaluate it and make decisions based off of it.
