So basically, we need to self isolate all the loud extrover over friendly social butterflys and open the windows. haha. But seriously, ventillation is a key paramator, that posters were talking about here earlier on but does seem to have been overlooked. I rember telling apartment dweller friends and family to keep their windows opened back at the end of february after seeing Asian research and protocols. Good you brought it up again.

Brilliant idea. Lets all keep the windows open this winter. So my OH who sleeps in the same bed doesnt get infected from the covid air in the house. Instead we'll all freeze to death. At least not a covid death then I suppose.

Is that what we're saying?

Nope, I think your strawman might keep you warm though.

But maybe if you have visitors pick an airy room. Keep room doors and windows open as much as can in that room.

So NPHET a team of our best doctors and experts in the country only plan for dealing with the virus is to lock everyone away in their houses for weeks. Is that it, i could have come up with that.

igCorcaigh · 06-10-2020 09:40PM

It's a bit crazy how all the WH staffers in USA are testing positive all of a sudden. Must have been some super spreader event?

I think it is a bit more nuanced then that, if you read the research papers, but if your OH has it, I would be thinking of another room or the couch for ten days. We spent a third of our time alive asleep. Think people are forgetting that before triple glazing and oil heating we managed to survive.:)

ps unless if you live in the artic circle, but then again you would probably have thermals.

Extra tog and thermals

Ventilation makes a huge difference, yeah.

A few businesses here a still open due to pedestrianised streets in the city. Hope there is more of this.

Yes.

In the end most people will risk assess.

Those who are cautious (which is the vast majority really) will observe.

And those who rebel against closures will rebel. They are the ones to watch. At least the GAA put a stop to their shenanigans anyway and that is but one example.

Next up are the house gatherings. Honestly it is not that difficult to keep a lid on it for a few weeks. Hate that stuff that causes another level and another in time.

People have bad risk assessment.
They will do what they see others doing.

There is a crowd effect.

Killeen still talking about an “exit point” on prime time. Talking about lockdown as an “exit strategy”.

It's still here!!

This guy infuriates me saying Donegal was 0 cases for 14 days and we blew it!

Does he not realise its a border county with another state thats currently out of control.

Yet he is allowed to keep spouting on about elimination and left unchallenged by the state broadcaster.

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has warned that a short lockdown may still happen despite the Government rejecting this week the advice of the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) to move to Level 5.

I actually think he’s not the full bob....the only way it’s an “exit strategy “ is if you close off the island like a NZ did....(and keep it closed until a vaccine is rolled out)...and we all know that’s not gonna happen...

Circuit break around Halloween midterm coordinated with the North could be on the cards.

It saved a lot of lives and bought us time.

I don't know how we go from here, but it seems sensible to me to restrict indoor gatherings.

A bit of creative thinking too could save a lot of businesses.

So it didn't deal with the virus.

So are a lot more people whom without lockdown, wouldn’t be here.

Killeen is a nut job!!! Like I’ve said before he’s a danger to himself at this stage. He’s definitely on some wacky tabacky too

It absolutely did. It protected the health system and saved many lives. Zero covid wasn't the strategy. Maybe it should have been? I don't know.

The HERD effect, gotcha can't be seen to be uncool.

It really needs to be tackled now, and I am never one for giving out about those younger wans who socialise, I did it myself for my sins.

it is all alien to me now lol. But honestly it really doesn't take much to get with the program for all our sakes.

I suppose most of them are bored out of their skulls in Universities all over and living with their lecturer and laptop from their bedroom.
