Coronavirus - Remain Calm. Do Not Panic

Did it? Seems to be a lot of issues with the journal's story doing the rounds on social media. 

Sackable offense mentioning a rival brand...If he has any left they are defo cans of what is definitely the best lager in the world

Duvel is top fermented, not a lager.

The Counterfeit Medical Officer is not interested in economic damage. If he was, he would read the data and see that there is the grand total of 3 deaths per day, under existing restrictions. Now he and his shower of cranks at the Department of Hardship are having a  over "6 weeks" for Level 5. 

6 weeks later: Flu season: Another 6 weeks lads...

Hospital overcrowding season: Another 6 weeks...

Paddy's week/Mothers Day/Easter. Have Another 6 weeks...

So after 24 weeks of Level 5, to prevent 4 deaths per day... 

May. Ok, Level 4 is manageable. 

I read during the week that Australia imposed a 2 week lockdown following a sudden spike during their winter. They're now existing lockdown after 6 months. 6 months at Level 5 here will put and keep hundreds of thousands of people out of work. Me included. Over what? 3 deaths per day from 5 million people.  There's more deaths every winter from the bleedin flu. 

Still, as the title says, I try my best to remain calm, and not panic. 

Numbers will rise over the next three weeks level 5 or not. The virus spreads best in the home so initially things will get worse if we are home more.

Have things got worse in Dublin since level 3 was introduced? As expected first 3 weeks the cases went up and then it steadied out. It stayed at a steady rate while other parts of the Country the rate of infection was growing. 

Lockdowns cause problems but not locking down will cause worse problems

People really need to consider the likely consequences of continual growth of spread and they are terrible

This is October 16th, March 16th is five months away, and March 16th is still basically the winter

What Dr. Nabarro from the WHO said was not an argument against lockdowns where they are needed

His words have predictably been mendaciously twisted by those with a right-wing political agenda

The issue is the lack of a proper find, test, trace and isolate system

That's how you're supposed to manage living with the virus

The issue is also lack of capacity in the health service which was a political decision taken over decades

That capacity can be improved modestly but no miracles can be performed 

There are definite cultural issues at play here too

Catholic areas of the north are the worst hit

Why is that? Well, Sinn Fein "led by example" with the Bobby Storey funeral, ah, sure it'll be grand, to be shure to be shure

After initially responding well, sorry to say it but the GAA has been a f**king DISGRACE over the last few months

The arrogance, the sickening true Gaelism, the weasel words about community and then turning around and f**king sh*tting all over the community, not just the community as a whole, ie. Ireland, but their own local communities

And it is unfortunate that clubs that have behaved responsibly, such as Charleville, suffer by association with those who didn't give a sh*t, like Blackrock

Presuming this virus is still a factor next year, club GAA has now proved beyond doubt that it cannot and should not go ahead, because too many of those involved will just take the piss

To balance it out a bit, my longstanding mental health issues have improved considerably during the past few months! I strongly believe the way we have been living life has been, for years, all wrong. That's what caused the mental health crisis in the first place! I am in daily contact with people for whom this is not the case , but I do feel that mental health is becoming, yet again, something to talk about rather than do something about.

It affects everyone directly! I just want to follow the experts who have some f**king notion! 

The so called "Great Barrington Declaration" takes its modus operandi from several climate change denial "declarations"

It's an off the shelf astro-turf lobbying technique by libertarian think tank scumbags
