Yes. I think I'm bang on mate. You're clearly and intelligent man. But the reason you are so passionately devoted to Trump, and have been for so many years, is that you're genuinely enjoying watching the societal trainwreck he is unleashing. For you, watching Trump's presidency is like watching rea...

We spent an hour this morning brushing our golden doodle who should have been at the groomer three weeks ago and now resembles a sheep. My wife and daughter brought her off for a walk and the first thing the dog did was go into the sea up to her neck, and now looks like a drowned rat. Another hour w...

All I want to see is enough PPE, and enough consumables for things like CPAP. One of the big issues is oxygen, which needs to be used at high flow rates across large sections of hospitals. From the pics I have seen from the excel/Nightingale hospitals some of the equipmement looks a bit strange. In...

Just heard a friend of mine had the virus, and was hospitalised, but has now been discharged. 68 years of age and about 21 stone, he wasn’t someone you’d have bet on surviving it, but was probably lucky to have caught it when he did because the hospital was very quiet so he got the full works in ter...

dargotronV.1 wrote:50 additional deaths in Scotland today

Fcuk, that’s a huge jump. Is it one major issue, like we’ve had with nursing home deaths?

Lenny

Sinn Fein would have a field day with that €25 A+E charge and the media would back them up Absolutely. If this govt tried it they'd lose every bit of good will they've built up through their handling of the crisis. An attack on the most vulnerable, an attack on the hard working decent working class...

Lads, any truth that UK electricity customers have been written to and warned about supply problems? Wife is going into full pepper for the apocalypse mode now! If that's the case - and I hope it isn't - I'm very glad we just had the hour change. Indeed! New Guy, need electricity to fire boiler tho...

No exponential jump in terms of cases though, which is a positive.

Fergal Bowers @FergalBowers The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has urged the Government to act immediately to deliver childcare for health service workers to enable them to attend work and treat patients affected by the Covid-19 virus. 2:45 PM · Mar 31, 2020 :roll: How the fudge is that mea...

The conventional Medtronic ventilator looks like a hugely complex piece of kit, that probably needs a lot of training to use, and in an ideal world is undoubtedly the preferred option, but is it likely that the simpler proposed UK solution might need less training, and, more importantly in the curre...

You can set your clock by the post-dinner swarm fightback.

You prefer unopposed? Makes sense I suppose.

Medtronic is a US company. It's great what they're doing. :thumbup: and it's a much better approach than just asking random companies to build something they've never built before, & ending up with 50 different incompatible solutions. With this approach; the companies can build a known good design,...

Numbers of cases going up again. Heard on the news this morning that people are wondering if that’s because the Japanese government don’t need to hide them now the Olympics has been postponed.

Lenny

The fact that you think any of this is "for the win" is a tragic insight into your personality. You were actually doing quite well a while ago. Pity. Sorry , I should have said to justify a stupid attack calling me a massive c unt for having a different perspective.... Either way the attack on me w...

Another reason for the masks though is to impress upon people the fact the the threat is real and it helps prevent complacency. They were disinfecting streets around here the other night. I'm not sure how much good it did in preventing the spread of the virus but it definitely caught the attention ...

He didn’t know if this was a permanent change or for the period of the crisis, although what difference it makes now when no private medicine is being ...

Carter at 10 :lol: . Jones is a legendary troll Agreed on the Troll statement. Picking Carter at 10 was probably a better troll move than not picking him at all..... Oh absolutely. I’m sure he had a right little snigger to himself as he did it I think you’re giving Jones far too much credit there t...

Delighted to see Rutherford there. One of the most wonderful players I got to see live, even if he seemed to always produce it against Ireland.

Lenny

The Leinster lads are going to have a collective stroke when they see O’Gara there.

. Where’s my popcorn.

Lenny

Remember the big ginger lad Leinster had on the wing? What happened to him? Darragh Fanning. Related to Luckycharmeri believe I don't want to slate him but he was never ever the standard required for Leinster. MOC loved him for whatever reason (he was big?), when Cullen came in he went from startin...

When California went into shelter from home they had a full easily understandable list of essential workers ready to go. Having a near 24 hour delay between telling people who is and isn't essential from their perspective is just clown like. Perhaps they felt it was more important to act quickly an...

Franno would also fit into the squandered category, wouldn't he? He'd go from the sublime to dogshit in the space of 2 games. Yep, definitely an unfulfilled talent. Iain Henderson is an interesting one too , a bit of a mercurial talent given his freakish athleticism and ability. At times he looks w...

If Trump was a black guy saying some the shit then these same people would claim that it shows how stupid black are, the fact that he is one of their own makes all the shit easily defensible Which same people? If anyone actually said that on here, they would be banned, possibly perma (there are pre...

Predictions folks. How long will this lockdown last? I reckon end of April I give it about 2-3 weeks and the wheels are going to start to come off. First sign that case numbers aren't growing they will come under extreme pressure to lift it. Speaking to a doctor friend today he said that they’re ex...

This thread has really highlighted the stupidity, mathematical illiteracy and arrogance of some. As we now head towards our Italian like daily death toll which will peak in about 3weeks after the measures were bought in. The basic maths of doubling every 3 to 4 days (Pillock gove today) means that ...

Probably a good opportunity to (ab)use the emergency powers to clamp down on drug movements.

Lenny

We were going to drive scenic wise without getting out of the Rolls, suppose that's out of the question now. Unfortunately the minority who would abuse the allowance to do that means it's out. Far easier for the Gardai to police it too if people aren't out for a drive. Had planned a hike up Ben Bul...

If I read between the lines there...

That in itself would ease the burden on ICUs a bit.
Those clusters are terrifying though.

Unfortunately, I think that is triaging at its most real.

Look at the bright side from my point of view I travel a lot to Oz and USA on holidays and in a normal year would be away around now. Imagine being stranded and not able to get home. :uhoh: x( We’re due to go to Mexico next month, and was only told by my wife today that she’d also booked for my two...

Shit. Had to happen. Probably the nursing home outbreak? Or the rehabilitation hospital? Just the curve stats - still relatively very good let’s be honest I think we have to be realistic, the figures are far better than we’d feared couple of weeks ago. It doesn’t lessen the tragedy for individual f...

Henry where are you off to? Bermuda or the states I imagine Correct. New York. Or what’s left of it after Covid19. And given it’s NY, regular golf will be on hiatus for the foreseeable. That said, knocking up an informal bucket list of courses I wish to play with whatever holiday I get. So far, I’v...
