    Good man. Sorry can’t keep up stuffing my face with peanuts.
    You accused me of trolling by posting a chart.
    Ignorance is bliss I can see.
    Put me on ignore and you won’t have to look at a ‘graph’.
    Don’t back seat mod please.

    Ah lad, very touchy altogether. It’s okay I’ll leave you alone.
    Heading for a pint now. Xoxo

    Sure he is.:rolleyes:

    Sure he is.:rolleyes:
    He has a team of thirteen medical staff looking after him. I'm sure he has a better chance than most!

    Some seem to believe in the spin from Trumps doctors before they believe the facts on covid


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,101 ✭✭✭BringBackMick


    Trump will certainly survive this, the question is will it weaken him and how long he will take to recover.

    If the entire nation can put up with restrictions to help keep them safe, I think the least those people could do is get themselves into better shape. There are vulnerable people who can't do anything about their situation but those that can should.


    Some people in the both the non high risk group and the high risk group may be on medications, that don't help with weight loss or may in fact contribute to the problem, and drastically losing weight quickly is not good either, but I agree with promoting healthy eating and I don't think our government, society or economy and pharmaceutical industry does enough on a practical level.
    Earlier in the year healthy eating/ weight loss groups could not meet. However, I have not seen ever before, the amount of people on the roads here walking etc. So many people were trying at least. I t is going to become more difficult now with winter setting in. But why not have a website linked to the HSE that gives creative solutions. Maybe you have some to contribute?


    More importantly, a message to those who took up walking this year....


    Wear hi -vis this winter, when out walking, please.

    I'm guessing many will be disappointed if he suffers no after affects.

    The irony of you telling other posters to stop spouting nonsense is delicious even though you probably can`t see it. BTW the word you are looking for is quoted.

    And you might just be looking for can't.

    The ironing is indeed delicious.

    There is a lot of manure here about an inability to put up with restrictions, which says more about the posters than the majority of people. We are not going back to April, a lot of things will continue, perhaps with breaks in some parts of the country. The main problem now is simple impatience. We are half way through this thing, another 7 months will see progress. There are multiple vaccines in development, there are multiple treatments in development, there are multiple testing procedures in development. If each of these has a better that 50/50 chance of succeeding and the people who know think they do , then the chances of one of them succeeding is 90%. We need to do what we can, but some restrictions for a few more months is not half the catastrophe that the Jeremiahs here suggest.

    In order to keep the public accurately informed, Trump's team has assigned code words to the various strands of the situation.

    Overall Situation : Hunky Dory Outcome

    Trump : Model Patient with Excellent Prognosis

    Hospital : A Rapid Recovery

    So, in order to guarantee the successful attainment of a hunky dory outcome, we have steered the model patient with excellent prognosis towards a rapid recovery.

    Might splash out and have tayto and a bar of Turkish

    How ironic for trump after all the sh*t he gave Hilary when she was sick.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,089 ✭✭✭Non solum non ambulabit


    How ironic for trump after all the sh*t he gave Hilary when she was sick.

    He mocks people with pneumonia and now demands empathy. But so many people adore him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 456 ✭✭Jackman25


    What's going on up North? Over 900 cases yesterday and over 700 cases today. They're huge numbers.

    They might have a problem in that quite a lot of their society can remember clearly what genuine danger and good reason to be fearful is like.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,134 ✭✭✭caveat emptor


    Yeah I feel conflicted about the trump thing.
    As a rule I wouldn’t wish that on anybody especially with the risk of death being so high given his circumstances. Now he is not an average American and will receive cutting edge treatment so it might offset this risk by a good bit.

    However he is directly responsible for the deaths of over 200k people through is ‘playing it down’ policies.

    Horrible to think but I’m sure there are plenty of Americans who lost a family members who wish him ill.

    I’ll stick to my general rule however it’s easy to get outraged about someone who feels some schadenfreude. Harder to equate it with what he has done.

    Plenty of people think ‘coffin dodgers’ should die so they can go back to 2019.
    Is trump a coffin dodger?

    Their young son tested negative yesterday and I presume will be tested again and hopefully stays negative, or like most kids gets over it quickly with little or no symptoms. He is not his Dad and deserves privacy.

    There's a report function so that you don't have to post when you want to report something filling pages with spam, we are turning into a nation of snitches, permanently outraged.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,139 ✭✭✭What Username Guidelines


    10 deaths, 613 cases


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,762 ✭✭✭✭stephenjmcd


    610 and 10 deaths.

    Those who've been keeping track of swabs v cases announced (I gave up weeks ago) that looks to me like a large backlog through the reporting system. Anyone tracking care to confirm or have the numbers ?
