…ders in terms of the self-congratulatory nature of your posts about what the government is doing.Now you’re all offended when it comes back to bite you.There is no room for self-congratulation in this crisis and Fine Gael and especially their online supporters have been only too happy to wallow in it.

There is no room for Party politics or Cheap point scoring either, Sid.

You positively seem to excel in any mistake the Government make ( while being instructed by Medical Professionals ) but I don’t seem to hear any words of praise for trying to stave off economic meltdown etc.

Easy save the world from the cheap seats, Sid.

In fairness nothing real to gamble on. Does life assurance cover a pandemic or is it classed as an act of god

I’ll say this once. We rang to get an antibiotic for my Mrs’ throat and ended up on the testing list. Take it up with the HSE you prick.

Tickle or sore?

Mike Ryan praising the Irish strategy and their ability to to pivot as circumstances change. It’s about prioritizing resources that are by definition not unlimited he says. No perfect answers. Trade offs all the time.

Edit - Mike is from Sligo and from Mayo. The peace line he says. Cc @anon67715551

…rry clogging up the phones while some nervous older people self-isolated and hoped for the best as they didn’t want to face being admitted to hospital. She thinks these people are now worsening and numbers will spike quite a bit over the coming days based on her experience. Nothing unexpected I guess.

Liked and shared.

Italy has the highest life expectancy in the EU, higher than Germany

It’s dawning on the Italians that having thousands of people with flus, corona viruses and headcolds gathering in hospitals isn’t clever. A handful of them have the bug, the rest are vulnerable to the disease and in a perfectly location for infection. They’re starting to focus on home treatment in all but the most severe cases. Paddy has the right idea with his outdoor drive through test centres.
If 95% of tests here come back negative then it might be reasonable to assume the stats were similar for italy. Then you have to factor in that the Italians are shocking hypochondriacs who’ll flock to hospital emergency departments at the drop of a hat. I’m not exaggerating. Their hospitals acted as coronavirus distribution and incubation centres.
The cure might be worse than the treatment in this case.

What about Spain?
