0.09% in locations with COVID-19 population mortality rates less than the global average
(< 118 deaths/million), 0.20% in locations with 118–500 COVID-19 deaths/million people
and 0.57% in locations with > 500 COVID-19 deaths/million people. In people < 70 years,
infection fatality rates ranged from 0.00% to 0.31% with crude and corrected medians of
0.05%.

Absolutely - good point. Might mark this episode. .

Will play to my future children in years to come when I'm trying to explain how crazy things were.

A good, spirited show today.

Well as long as you have the cover it will be fantastic care. One of my parents spent time in a Canaries hospital. Fantastic facilities and fantastic care. All covered by VHI.

TheRiverman · 04-02-2021 03:05PM

Bring Una and Frank back to Ireland and make them quarantine in a tent on the top of the Sugar Loaf mountain in the snow that is forecast for next week.

the Spanish health service is far superior than ours. Much less union ridden. No trollies in corridors. Spending per capita much less. Their equivalent of VHI etc. is much less. i could go on...

Others have described the kind of care they would get.

I was just calling you out for saying something that is blatantly untrue out of some sense of spreading fear.

Great to hear. Im glad for Una and Franks sake. Hopefully they wont need to use it.

Joking aside I sincerely hope nothing happens Una. She didnt mention having anybody with her over there or any friends over there. I would be really anxious if she was my mother.

I mostly agree.

There is an edginess. A nastiness. But regular people are the new curtain twitchers and the likes of Una and Frank are boasting about flouting the rules.

Im staying home. Im sticking to the rules. Yes i know i can get around them easily, but unless necessary i just follow them.

Staying home myself do what we're told mostly, wifes brother died at Christmas, couldn't go... watched online,a lot of the pleasure of living is gone now, even in a shop its just get in, get out as quick as you can in case you get the stare when you accidentally stepped too close to someone, I just have the feeling that all these lockdowns will have been for almost nothing in the end because the government haven't been serious about protecting our borders both land and sea from the very start +I've no great faith in the hse given their previous form, as for the government I treat any of their announcements with a healthy scepticism keeping in mind their previous record also... Keep safe and mind yourself and watch and listen to as little rte as you can, the outlook seems much rosier then

Spain has superb standard of medical care in hospitals.

04-02-2021 03:21PM

Last time I actually deliberately "met" somebody I know was out on Clontarf seafront shortly before Christmas in the open air. That was my aunt, turning 90 next month, with her son pushing the wheelchair and me at a distance and masked. Arriving in separate cars etc.

04-02-2021 03:25PM

Mod - please keep the language toned down regarding description of people, had to delete a post there. Will be infractions issued for any more of that.

No Covid in Finland? What utter rubbish. How is this fake news allowed to go unchallenged? So many lies. This show is unbelievable. Worse than fox news.[/QUOTE
Just looked at the COVID-19 visualizer for Finland and it states 46,493 total cases, 14,805 active cases, 688 deaths. Nothing worse than fake news, China now has lower infection rate than Finland with 1,411 active cases, Greenland has zero cases.

There are a lot of very good locals in Spain & Canary Islands. My own elderly mother was very confident travelling there with me at her most vulnerable as locals invariably would come to the rescue at any hint of a problem.

In fairness the son is right. If she gets sick over there who looks after her.

Hopefully her E111 will take care of any treatment she might need .
Great to see an independent strong old lady who understands that "rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men."
Luckily she doesn't need the approval or permission of all the curtain twitching finger pointers on this forum. Stay under the bed folks until Tony allows you out .

You’d be the first lad to start roaring and shouting if ‘everyone’ adopted that behavior

I always have to snigger to myself when these’ free spirits ‘start
bullshïtting about ‘socking it to the man’.

These idiots can’t see what’s right in front of them in morbid figures.

They can’t see what the relaxation of the rules around Xmas caused in terms of infections and deaths.

The fail to see that if everyone took their ‘strategy’ of ignoring the advice of those charged with protecting the health of the nation, we would be completely and utterly ruined.

So let’s call these idiots out for what they are ,uncaring selfish idiots.

They haven’t a leg to stand on.
