    Doesnt need to be rigorous. Common sense will suffice.

    Oh right so there isn't any need for the clarification of basic medical statistics or to find out the spread of the virus among the general population?

    Grand so.

    If its all the same to you I'm going to call for scientific investigation into the disease anyway. Its no inconvenience to anyone here is it? I hate to be a bore.

    Any chance the government could have these crazy people forcibly taken out of circulation at least for the duration of the emergency?

    What was she rattling on about. I couldn't make out the thick Dublin accent. I did pick up a hostile tone from it but that was about it. Was she hoping on seeing people drop dead outside the hospital or something. Was she giving out about the restrictions/lockdown?

    First she goes on that planes are arriving with new people to infect us all, then she tells us that the hospitals are actually getting ready for the 5G switch on. So which is it FFS, the sekret gubermant plans to kill us both ways apparently. Jesus wept! And I say that as an atheist. Over and out, you're not on a CB you loop the loop.

    Treatment of 5 critically ill patients with convalescent plasma transfusion containing a sars-cov2 specific antibody. I know its a very small number treated, but its interesting as all seemed to show improvement. 3 discharged, 2 stable.

    That would have cost him millions to run on the networks years ago. Now all he needs is a 16yr old with a smart phone.

    If Biden wins it completely due to this virus. Sanders was the far better candidate and had a better chance of beating Trump.

    There was some bullsh1t articles recently about 'How Germany flattened the curve', no they didn't. They had bought up all available ventilators since January, now that they have increased numbers they too will be running out of equipment and death rate will increase.
    Ventilators don't increase or decrease the infection rate. When people talk about flattening the curve, they refer to confirmed cases, not deaths.

    Biden is much stronger in areas Sanders is weak like among older voters, black voters and has a major chance of taking alot of conservative leaning independents away from Trump which Sanders wouldn't.

    Biden is walking election vs Sanders in rust belt and would have done same vs Trump with no virus. Clinton struggled in rust belt vs Sanders and that's where she lost election vs Trump by 80,000 votes.

    All good for testing at the airport. Should be done and then stay away from people after for a while.

    Then 5G. Go away you nut.

    Simple Simon: "Stopping flights from Italy just wouldn't work"

    Italy didn't account for all the travel related cases, I think it was maybe 30% of all travel related cases

    Which ultimately translates to deaths.

    The curve you refer to is to do with cases. If we had a billion ventilators, we would still have infected cases

    Stop flight from italy, they would just travel via London etc... Your not gonna stop people coming in. You would have to do a total travel ban and block off the northern border.
    This would create panic and you would have every Irish person abroad looking to get home and you can't deny them entry.
    And you couldn't quarantine them all. It would have to be self quarantine, but as we wouldn't have any cases back then. Then nobody would take the self quarantine seriously.

    Lord help them. Belarus lost 25% of its population in WW2 (then part of the USSR) which was one of the worst figures of any place involved in that war. Of course CV19 won’t kill anywhere near that percentage this time, but the country will suffer terribly all the same because of yet another clown in high office (Lukashenko).

    I’m getting really concerned looking at what is happening in France. They now using trains to treat patients. Spain and Italy are still rising in death numbers. Now our government are asking people from US to come home. NY is a heavily infected area. Why are we still encouraging flights home now when we are not screening or quarantining people??

    I don’t understand this and no one can explain this. How do we make a voices heard to our government? I’m starting to get concerned about older people I know and the strain this disease is going to put on our health service. It’s not stopping in Italy or Spain and death rates are still rising.

    My thoughts are with anyone who has lost a loved one to this disease :(

    How do we make our voices heard ? Should we contact local TD’s ?

    Other countries did this weeks ago. Even the risk of being quarantined would have deterred people from flying.

    Why are people so quick to rubbish the effects of 5G? What do we know? Nothing at all really.

    Not one of us would have expected a pandemic like this to occur this time last year.

    Already scientists and doctors have appealed to the EU to reconsider it due to health effects it may cause. Why bother their hole if there wasn't cause for concern.

    You wouldn't get panic with Irish people overseas because obviously you'd repatriate them all when necessary.

    So what was the point in Houlahan tracking everybody who tested positive for the virus and telling us where they got it (initially most of it was in fact from Italy) and isolating everyone that came into contact with them yet at the same time having the airport wide open to Italy and everywhere else?

    And why do you think many other Countries closed their borders?

    What are you going to say to them? Leave Irish people abroad to fend for themselves? Does this apply to doctors and nurses returning home too?

    France are using trains to transfer patients to other hospitals, they are not using trains as hospitals.

    Ireland is asking anyone abroad that can help to come home and help. They are advising other Irish people abroad that if they want to come home, to not delay as flights maybe cancelled etc...
    It's not like the government are ordering everyone abroad to come home.

    All returning citizens are being asked to self isolate for 2 weeks. Every tom, dick and Harry know the seriousness of the situation and most, if not all will self isolate. Ya swear everyone arriving home is gonna go out and purposely try to infect as many as they can.
