My wife was recently told that someone from her small gym class tested positive for covid. The class was in a small unventilated room for 45 or so minutes.
.

Imagine being a teacher and spending 6 hours in the same sized room with 30 other people where less stringent close contact rules apply.

What the WHO are saying is that there wasn't just 79k infected. There was 79k that they know about. But thats not the true number. The true number is more like 790k or even 1.5m. And then your fatality percentages are much much smaller consequently.

We are constantly shocked by it, they aren't. That's just how they do things.

Truth


Their attitude is resilient and disciplined.

While here, people are instructed what to do, for their health, health and wellbeing of their country and citizens. This includes being distant from each others and wearing masks as the most important things to do in halting the spread of covid....

SO.... the fûcking idiots come together, en masse, doing practically everything they’ve been asked not to do....

Health care workers, sitting watching this on tv. After the sacrifices, the Trojan work and risks to their own health and that of loved ones... seeing people who won’t even engage in the simplest of responsibilities such as distancing, mask wearing and supporting restrictions.... depressing.

War breaks out, you’d have the same cûnt buckets out shining their phones at the sky, protesting at curfew and blackouts, *its against our civil rights* meanwhile some other poor cuñt at home gets a shell through their roof.

This country is the fückin pits. If the government had any backbone they’d set up a camp down the curragh for them. If they don’t like masks and distancing they can unmask and un distance to their hearts content, together. When they get covid they can then while struggling for breath think about their decisions.

A lot of money should have been spent on bolstering our health service capacity during the Summer when the virus was not spreading.
We missed the boat and will have a long, drawn out attempt at managing this as a consequence.

Spending a lot of money on the health service in the summer would have been much too late. If it was attempted it would likely have resulted in the Leaving Cert predictive grades fiasco x 1000.

With the way the State and public service operates, the time to prepare for a possible pandemic and other "what ifs" was 5, 10, 15 years ago. An "impossible" task given that year after year, we couldn't even prepare for the inevitable flu and winter vomiting bug outbreaks.

Never mind a global pandemic, if a jumbo jet with a few hundred people on board were to crash in a potato field here, we better hope that
-most of the passengers are killed outright so we don't have to treat them
-it doesn't happen in winter
-it doesn't happen at the weekend

On a micro and less dramatic level, I work in the public service and on many occasions have experienced mundane and predictable events (e.g. female staff of child bearing age going on maternity leave) throwing things into chaos.

So we could possibly have only hospital cases this weekend. That is scandalous.

They're saying that NVRL is processing less tests than it was anyway so that it won't cause an issue and other labs have the capacity. There's multiple other labs in use. We'll see though

I believe they are given that message, in that the hope that they behave as if positive, but its not the case that they are counted as positive cases, else there would be a massive discrepancy between positive swabs and confirmed cases

That could explain it allright

Why is the lab shutting down?

Staffing issues.

Oh oh, did some staff get sick and out isolating?

Sounds more like time off for them.

quite simply there is zero deterrent for gangs of these muppets getting together en masse, causing chaos, risking health and wellbeing of the people and healthcare workers.

The country is the pits not due ‘just’ to a few self entitled clowns and their behaviors but due to the state not having the will or want to actually provide a deterrent.

I go out in my car, there is a deterrent to breaking lights, driving over the speed limit.... if there wasn’t, people would just go through them, over the limit or some people.

It's the same with covid. Because people can’t see a deterrent..... they are provided and enabled to put the rest of us in danger.

It might suit your cartoon agenda to throw out term like ‘silliness’ and ‘exaggeration’ but we all have a right to inform and express an opinion on what we are seeing and experiencing during covid.

Think it should be more clear about the NVRL, I think it's ender who actually test the majority of swabs so it's not like those weekends testing will stop. It sounds like a point is been proven, they've probably been screaming out for staff /help and the good will has ended trying to cover everything.
