I had major surgery in Beaumont and they sent me home early a few weeks back to recover at home due to Covid getting into the place, thankfully I am probably out of risk range now, at least I hope, I wish your friend the best.

I know speed is of the essence, but you'd hope anyone writing a story on the report would read it through first, and then pick the relevant points to report.

Having said that, I don't really know what would be a good way to report "historic" deaths. It feels like they are somehow less of a death the way they do it now.

There is a time honoured way to write a press release. The first paragraph contains the information that you most want reported. You then continue to write on that basis. The idea is that sub-editors with a certain amount of space to fill will just read enough to fill the space and no more. It is rare for journalists and editors to read the entirety of a press release unless it is very short. Remember, they all want to be first with the story. Therefore, if there is information that you would like to go unnoticed, you put it at the end of the press release.

It wont stop parties ffs, its not that hard to drive across the border and im sure there will be plenty of enterprising lads selling on the black market

If schools stay open and those who cannot WFH are going into their workplace, forget about any drastic measures like stopping off sales.

Short answer, no. Long answer, no.

I haven't seen my kids, parents, ex wife or friends face to face in 6 months because of this thing. I'm dead serious

And why haven't you seen any of them ?

Outdoors, 2m, masks etc take the precautions. I've been visiting family every few weeks keeping distance, mask on, hand hygiene etc

Thanks Simon. I’ll stay safe thanks.
Please implement a policy that stops the spread and unnecessary deaths. For that to work you’d have to stop talking out of both sides of your mouth.

What’s incompetent? Do you believe people don’t have the right to protest current policy as dictated by an unelected group of doctors?

The first means of dealing with these idiots ignoring the lockdown rules is their identities should be recorded and they should be refused access to public healthcare if they ever get covid. If they're not going to take their health seriously, then why should the rest of us worry about them.

So should the same apply to all the obese people who don't take their health seriously? Or all of the smokers whose habit makes them vulnerable to Covid?

Breathing difficulties, cancer and sepsis. Just released yesterday. Still not at full strength

It's allowed simply because everyone has the right to peaceful protest.

They're a group of fools but not breaking any law, only person they can go after is whoever organised it

Anyone advocating violence needs to go see a specialist, you need help

Would you prefer your doctor was elected rather than qualified?

Will it be 13 days to reach 1000 though? The north had around 300 cases a few days ago and it jumped to over 900 two days ago and a high number again today (over 700). That's a huge jump in cases.

So it could be sooner than 13 days when we see 1000 cases a day. It's possible we might be up to 1000 cases by next weekend.

Which is probably why Leo and others are saying we should stop fixating on cases and look at hospitalisations and ICU entries.

Take Care, Stay Safe, even the worry of catching it or passing it on would give you panic attacks, I fear we are going to be hit worse this winter than March and April past in cases and deaths, our hospitals won't cope

So can we also apply your logic to smokers, the obese, people who drive too fast, people who work in risky occupations, people who engage in risky sports /activities? Basically anyone that doesn't hide away under their bed.

The only hope I see at the moment is with those recovered from it (35k in Ireland), if there can be a period of a year plus that they are 99.9% not going to get the virus again we could relax social distancing for these people and allow them to return to normal life in controlled areas amongst fellow recovered. Coppers could reopen and if you hadn't had the virus you are not getting in

People could then decide to get deliberately infected to regain a quality of life and stop going around the place like it's Chernobyl.

has the makings of a great dystopian film - the possers living the good life in their garden of eden biodome while starving filthy neggers constantly try to break in.

We are hoping for a vaccine. But hope isnt a strategy. So frustrating.

You are hoping for a vaccine but us all hoping for that is not the strategy. The strategy is all of the money that’s been pumped into research. The work so many medical scientists have done creating the many currently being tested. The bravery of the hundreds of thousands of people willing to be tested on. The best potential vaccines that have been in mass production for months already so they are ready to go when approved. The major purchasing deals for hundreds of millions of the front running vaccines the EU has confirmed. The beginning of a rolling review on Oxford AZ by the EU to speed up the approval if it passes phase 3. The distribution plans being formulated now.

That’s the strategy. We’re just hoping it comes good and being ready to do our only part in the strategy. Which is to take it when offered.

If the pandemic goes on long enough their numbers will swell and eventually become the majority.

Yep. I've said it before, the government plan is "I hope when I wake up tomorrow that there is a vaccine".
