Which is true. What also seems to be true is that most people are asymptomatic and the vast majority of people who die from it are really old or really sick or both. So our response was to move people who had it into nursing homes while locking down all the people that will be fine. Seems curious to me.

It is but next week will be the second or third week on from when cases started to pick up. Its possible that we could see the death figures take a nasty turn.
A person did of it/from it/with in Wexford yesterday.
Had been sick other issues.
Hospitalisations/ICU numbers would go up first and there’s about 6 lads in hospital with it.
There’s 6 people in hospital with it.
I’m not suggesting there’s no risk but the deaths have been incredibly low now for quite a while. Whilst this may be a bad virus, it certainly doesn’t appear to be anywhere near as lethal as initially feared.
Ah well that’s good
Plus the median age is very low as well
Someone better tell the HSE when they get a minute spare
The median age of deaths was always incredibly high (higher than the actual average age of deaths of all causes).
Hopefully we see very few more people dying from this

Don’t know how it works but will not it take ages for the death to go through the books as such.
The numbers we get are total scutter. No context like.
Stop talking sense.
An interesting statistic, 140 million people are born and 60 million die every year. So far we have had 680k Covid deaths, so YTD we are just over 1% of the total expected deaths. About 10 million die from heart disease every year, 6 million from strokes, 6 million from COPD and flu/pneumonia, 2 million from cancer, 2 million from dementia, 2 million from diabetes, etc. More people die from TB than Covid and apparently that’s a disease we have eradicated long ago.
It’s a very curious reaction when you consider it in the big picture.

That is very true. No context. Many of them have recovered already.
It’s still not killed as many as suicide does, and that’s bearing in mind that COVID deaths are over reported and suicide ones being (massively) underreported

This is a good point. School will be a good experiment for what a return to normal life is like. There will be fuck all social distancing and will be loads of people stuck indoors all day together. If it all works out the OIUTFers will be proved right and everyone’s a winner. If it goes wrong…
This will go down as the biggest overreaction of all time. RTE should be fucking ashamed of themselves for the way they are reporting this.

Mickey Leary has his Ryanair office workers back in the office in Swords since early June.
Business Travel is taking place as normal and no requirement for self isolation on return.
I know a lad who reckons O Leary should be Taoiseach
