China Coronavirus

[Milltown Row2]

It seems to me the most vulnerable in society (the elderly0 are being let down by people not giving a shit about this virus and wanting things opened up and carry on regardless..

I've a very good friend who every week throws out the same narrative , when your times up you times up! So I ask, if your daughter caught it and was very ill or worse would you have the same opinion, and she has!! Crazy, so I don't talk about it anymore as she'll be that we are all losing out and her view is that elderly people will die and flu is worse and blah blah

No idea what you are saying there - have you been on the beer?

People are unconcerned about covid, they would much prefer life to be normal, like it was before and have no patients for life as it is at the minute.

These people couldn't give a stuff about mental health, economics, domestic abuse or anything else, otherwise (on this discussion board) they have plenty of posts on threads about the above topics...

Speaking to a peruvian a while back I think they had the certificate approach and then the certificates started being sold on the black market!

322 reported in 26, 570 in the 6.

322 reported in 26, 570 in the 6.

A big drop from 1284 cases reported on October 18th.

That Northern figure is the equivalent of around 1400 here.
So a long way to go up there but their eejit 1st Minister says they'll remove restrictions in 10 days time.
Meanwhile NPHET will probably be advising  against opening up travel from/to foreign parts in December.

The level of incompetence in the northern executive is unbelievable, out side of Swan (health) and Murphy (finance) the rest appear to be buffoons.

Buffoons would be giving some of them too much credit. Numbers are bad but at least daily cases have dropped a lot.

The 6 counties continues to have around the same numbers as the 26.

Perhaps a few Finns and Estonians can come, plus all you want from Taiwan, New Zealand and Australia.

595 cases today(up north). Hospital occupancy down from 100% which is good. Hopefully in the next week or two daily cases dropping and lower r number will keep lowering the occupancy.

Be interesting to see what they do with lockdowns next week. I suspect bars still stuffed but maybe, hopefully, a few more things will open up.

With those numbers over 3 weeks, is too soon or has it shown that not all bars were not the problem? Colleges?

However, hospitals have achieved that by postponing a lot of other stuff.

Bars are and were a very minimal contributing factor, they just are a massive scapegoat.

It's been shown twice now that the bigger factors are elsewhere. And maybe we still don't fully understand that yet. I'm not saying get the bars open this weekend whatsoever, but it's very lazy now to suggest that they are a major factor.

I thought the era of fake news was over. Bars have been a problem in every country. It has not been shown that the bigger factors are elsewhere, it has only been shown that it is easier to associate people when they are in your house or they sit beside you at school.
