    How can the politicians not accept the advice??. If they don't and things get worse they won't have a leg to stand on

    First locdown started when we had 68 ICU and 380 Hospital cases.

    Today we have 21 ICU and 134 Hospital cases.

    Have we been preparing for this or just fingering ourselves silly for the past 7 months? Looking at these figures it looks like we've gone backwards.

    Unless they don't want to stop elective surgery and out-patient procedures this time around. Meaning numbers are really tight.

    Because the advice is idiotic

    They can but never do. That would end their careers. It's mostly symbolic.


    I'm bringing a camera to tesco.

    Come back to me in a months time.

    Cause and effect.

    Some believe gravity can be defied.

    Sadly not.

    Definitely outta spacers!

    It would be nice to know how many hospitalisations are from Covid and how many are with Covid.



    If this exchange from last week is any indication then there may be more to this than meets the eye.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 454 ✭✭Mwengwe


    **** this lads.

    What's the earliest this might come in in terms of enforcement?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,059 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    I'd just like to thank the people of Dublin, Cork and Donegal in particular for their diligent work plunging us into a likely Level 5 semi lockdown. What with the weather having turned to shi'te I'm sure we'll all be glad of this opportunity to sit by the heater/fire and daydream about Spring.

    Very soon and 4-6 weeks at a minimum at whatever level they decide.

    Does one require a bed and the other doesn't?

    It's not just those counties,a player from dungarvan played a county final over the weekend AFTER testing positive

    Oh **** off! 573 cases in Cork in the last two weeks. That's 1 in 1000 infected. Please don't imply that anything other than a tiny minority are to blame.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 454 ✭✭Mwengwe


    When is the earliest this is likely to be enforced? Tuesday?

    *** Sorry, thought the last one didn't post.

    Both are reported as a hospitalisation. Both are very different to each other.

    Its as if the mods are afraid of that thread ,, if you want a recommended plumber to fix a leaking tap it has to be done by PM ,, but yet on that thread you can promote anti government lockdown advice and its ok ,, even promote the protests in dublin no problem ,, its like Gemma has a hold over boards.ie

    I think it's to keep the simpletons there and away from the grown-up conversations.

    Kermit only back 48hrs and country heading for level 5 and site has gone tits up. Coincidence!

    Could just as easily be later. Government not enamoured of the advice and may take a bit of time to come to a decision.

    Website is an absolute f*cking joke lately, problem after problem. Hopeless.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,513 ✭✭✭bb1234567


    About 3-4 courses in pods of 40 (mostly medicine students) are hardly the cause of cases rising like the original poster suggested.

    Architecture students are also not entirely online, just one example. I'm sure theres plenty

    They both need a hospital bed and hospital care, they both take up valuable resources. Can't kick a patient to the curb cause they have covid but weren't hospitalized due to covid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭alentejo


    Very depressed at this. No level of level 2 normality this side of Christmas. We are not living with Covid-19


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


    We need to get real. Real soon. MM's plan of opening schools will lay waste to most hospitality businesses. 'I guess that's why level 5 being implemented. What dies level 6 look like? If we are at the start of October and level 5 is being levelled, where do we go from here, during winter?

    edit: chart looks like an ecg.

    There was no need for him to be here when we had cases low and under control!:D

    It's what hackers call a target rich environment.

    Can this get any more like Deus Ex?



    It's literally the plot of this game playing out in real life.

    we (the public) most definitely are not doing all we can. that's the problem.

    It would be more accurate to state that a certain cohort of the public are not doing all they can because they can`t be arsed to follow simple measures and have zero concept of personal responsibility.
