China Coronavirus

Who in the name of God is "Eoin" on Claire Byrne show who thinks 3 in a row is fine,(same thing as two apparently) and HEPA filters in the airplane is all you need. Poorly challenged by Claire too.

Still in that competitive mode for some reason.

Making comments on we are do better than them is just strange?

Making comparisons between different countries during this pandemic shows what? I looked at countries with similar landmass and population, some doing far better than Ireland, what does it prove?

[Smurfy123]

It proves the Irish government are better organised. Better at making decisions. Quicker at making decisions. That's what it tells me. Here in the North it's pure politics. Get the job done that you are elected to do. Will we close the schools or not. Yes one day no the next.
That's what making comparisons does
Yes the south are behind lots but the north followed the Tory crowd at the start

Right, so the south is better than the north of the island due to  better death rate, testing tracing and nursing homes

I'm sure those that lost love ones during this will draw some comfort from that

[RadioGAAGAA]

I've said before radio the numbers that matter to me are
A- Deaths 0 in south
B- ICU and dropping below 35 in south


Not the R number
Or cases
If someone picks up a flu they will generally be fine
Now I will continue to watch for those 2

A & B are due to the ongoing lockdown in the south. Something you want to remove ASAP.


So no sign of your numbers from Germany then? A tacit admission that you are full of it.

But the south of Ireland locked down a day later then the north
Work that out?

The curve never happened and the nhs staff are bored

Bored? So the curve never happened and lockdown was pointless?

Ah crap.

But the south of Ireland locked down properly.

The North did a "ahh, now don't be leaving the house unless your a critical worker"... and proceeded to list half the workforce as critical.

edit: Should have known better to take a post of yours as even half right.

12th March, ROI starts lockdown[1][3][4].
23rd March, NI starts lockdown[2].


Everytime Smurfy... every f**king time. How about even try to get some of your f**king "facts" in order before posting them, is that too much to ask?

Get your facts right.
The south of Ireland went into lockdown a day later

So you thinking shutting down education and pubs is not part of a lockdown?


Ahh, I suppose your consistent, you are one of those that believe schools don't contribute to spread aren't you?

[Smurfy123]

Nobody mentioned pubs or schools
We are talking about lockdown here
The north lockdown happened before the south
You really need to get your facts right before posting

Portugal closed pubs and schools on the 16th of March I think. Well over twice population of Ireland and did far better than Ireland. If we can compare countries did Portugal do better than Ireland?
