GAA Response to Coronavirus

[seafoid]

The Ard Comhairle should have run the All Ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU9q8J4xShs in parallel with the club championships because Covid is seasonal and it will kill loads of people in December. There is no "better" until we get a vaccine. March was not a once-off.

Otherwise they should have chosen one between club and county.

Covid is not very seasonal.

When did UK numbers collapse? In the summer

UK numbers collapsed after a long period of lockdown, it is hard to attribute that to the weather. Hot places like Arizona, Texas and Florida have had plenty of Covid over the summer.

Numbers fell all over Europe as the weather improved. Now it'sgetting colder and numbers are up again. 
I can't see any other viable explanation for it.

The virus outbreak was Feb/March, widespread lockdowns were in place for most of spring and societies gradually reopened up when lockdowns were lifted during the summer months.

Some people claim lockdowns don't work yet they can't point to one that didn't work

You'll find there's a very large crossover with these people and the people who say masks don't work and that Sweden got it right and New Zealand didn't and eulogise the right-wing think tank-funded "Great Barrington Declaration"

Stupid opinions tend to herd together

[Will it ever end]

I'd be totally against another lockdown - it's a vicious circle as the virus is just being suppressed - once the country reopens it's still there & history repeats itself.

What's the old saying - The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results

What's you message for health workers?

Just rely on PPE and it's ongoing supply? If the PPE isn't there during the shift just walk out?

You don't think the lock down and it's subsequent relaxation played a role?

This is Covid in a nutshell.

100% guesswork and theories that science can't solve.

We're going to gain our answers retrospectively on Covid.

The North is now a case study, it's rampant up here, the horse has bolted so closing the gate now will have little effect.

The next 5/6 weeks is going to give us the answers science has been contradicting itself about.

You are not a fan of science are you?

Is there an issue with PPE? Hadn't seen any recent coverage citing supply issues?

The PPE issues are demand vs supply and then it's effectiveness.

Demand is about to go up. Let's hope there is enough.

But PPE doesn't offer immunity.

If Covid is let rip and numbers rise deaths won't be confined to the elderly. Of the others many will be healthcare workers. I just want to hear what the message for healthcare workers is for those in the let rip mode

Doesn't seem to be earning it's keep against Covid.

[Will it ever end]

I fully appreciate demand Vs supply - but are you aware of an issue or are you just guessing?


So we lockdown - suppress the virus - ease pressure on NHS & that's us?

Then when it spikes again early next year we do the same & repeat until a vaccine is found?

Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of people go out of work / hundreds of thousands of children miss out on education / same numbers of kids miss out on the social interaction of GAA / thousands of men & women miss out on the same social interaction of the GAA & other outlets!

[Rossfan]

And we let it rip....
Army taking lorry loads of coffins out of hospitals?, doctors having to decide do we take the comatose Covid sufferer out of the ICU bed to let in the car crash victim? Let the medical people get it in large numbers?

So it's sciences fault a cure or vaccine hasn't been found for a virus no one has ever seen or dealt with before?

[Will it ever end]

Off course we don't let it rip - we all have personal accountability to adhere to the guidance man!

If you can hand on heart state you've done so over the course of this period then your a better man than I but Jesus Mary & Joseph now is the time to limit your movements to suppress the virus!
