Disaster.

CM11

You mean why am I picking you up on your silly statements and not others? That's your defence? No, as I've said multiple times, it's not the same as a cold. But it is obviously comparable to a flu or a cold :lol: Do you ever read what you write or does it just come out of your arse with no critical ...

And it's not as simple as Varadkar going, the repercussions will go far deeper.

Could he really have been that stupid?

Not being touched by the IT, RTE etc. It's either churtains for Varadkar, or the magazine.

It's on the Indo and has hit mainstream in terms of Varadkar being called to respond to the comments in the Dail. He's preparing a statement.

This Varadkar thing is going to cause a right mess if true.

Bit hysterical Duff. I imagine places like that would have to close if winds were forecasted above a certain speed regardless of whether the word 'warning' was mentioned or not.

Again, completely ignoring the blood disorder part of the disease, the fact that a bad flu doesn't cause the hospital system to break down and still trying to compare it to a bad fúcking cold. It's not about getting hysterical. I'm calling you on your nonsense. It's a disease that needs to be manag...

https://www.the42.ie/hugo-keenan-ireland-france-5249313-Oct2020/ Interesting piece on Keenan here. Didn't make the firsts in Blackrock until he got into 6th year and didn't fully focus on 15-a-side until the 19/20 season. His speed tests put him as quick as Beauden Barrett apparently, Lancaster say...

There are currently around 20k in ICU in Europe. Stopping the spread is more to do with the hospital system not breaking down rather than the IFR. Well that and trying to avoid it getting into care settings.

The hard part is knowing exactly what to do and more importantly when to stop the spread

CM11

Mog Again, can you list off your proof that it's 'just a bad cold'. You are absolutely ridiculous on this. It's as if you are only looking at the people who can fight it easily and completely ignoring the many who get it bad. Colds do not cause countries to run out of ICU beds. Colds do not cause bl...

Iarmhiman On a completely separate note. I see Wicklow is included in the orange warning. Any chance that hits Dublin? Wicklow and Dublin mountains should shield those southerly winds. When the winds veer westerly around a fternoon, they could be pretty strong for a while but nothing we haven't see...

CM11

iarmhiman I think it's possible to have a viewpoint that NPHET might have been correct. But given level 5 hasn't actually made a difference yet, by their own admission, it's a bit premature to say they definitely are. What is more clear is that perhaps not going crazy in July/August has reaped rewar...

The outlier, for want of a better word, is the UK in all this and probably as a result of the Brexit polarisation. Northern Europe is generally more 'obedient' with more policing by consent. If you set a more extreme policing method up then it's easier to rail against. Someone mentioned to me today ...

For all the criticism we give NPHET, it has to be said we're doing a better job than most of Europe. We've erred on the side of caution, absolutely, but even Germany is now going into a spiral.

Sorry Mog, forgot to get back to you. I couldn't care less what anyone else is comparing it to. You have compared it to a bad cold. So back that up with comparable figures for ICU and general hospitalisations. I'd be surprised if a bad cold has ever put thousands in ICU in any given year though.

CM11

772 cases, 6 deaths. I think that it's clear now that cases have peaked, and Level 5 was a panic reaction. Watch NPHET use what's happening elsewhere in Europe as the excuse to keep us at Level 5 for the full 6 weeks. They will. But there has to be a massive push to come out of level 5 at level 2. ...

The clothing thing is a red herring. Does Tesco and Dunnes really steal a march on independent traders by being able to sell clothes?

Fair enough on the trying on, hadn't heard that but I'd say not many doing it if it happened.

Mog, do you have the stats handy as to how many under 70s have to be admitted to ICU in Sweden for a bad cold?

I have those stats handy for covid so when you're ready.
