What I mean is the people who are going to die are going to die anyway. This is a fact. The governments should have invested and opened up nightingale hospitals to treat the Covid-19 patients way before they have and allowed the hospitals and life in general to carry on as normal. This tanking of the economy and loss of jobs was not the right move here.

Governments are afraid of death, if the citizens die then they will be blamed but these people will die anyway. That is what I was told when I had it. They can't treat you and it is survival of the fittest, basically.

Did you end up in hospital?

If I get mildly ill and need oxygen I'd rather there actually be a bed available.

Your opinion is not based on facts. The overall number of people who die from the virus is not the same regardless of the length of time or other measures in place. If lots of people get the virus at once by allowing it to spread on its own the death rate will be significantly higher than if people caught it slowly and at a reduced rate up until the point when we have a vaccine.
There might not be a cure but there are numerous things that are done to treat the symptoms.
Your comments are incorrect and downright dangerous.

Well that’s quite depressing to read, I have health conditions, my husband has asthma, i don’t agree that people should carry on as normal, we don’t want to die in our 40s. Our poor children don’t deserve that, my health conditions developed a few years ago, long after I had children.

I think lockdown was the right thing to do or we would have been dealing with a catastrophic number of deaths. People without health conditions are dying, young and old.

Wow. My Dad's currently on ICU on a ventilator keeping him alive while his lungs recover. So I can assure you there is something the hospitals can, or at least can try to do

That's it. My opinion is not dangerous it is realistic and unemotional. There are no treatments. Paracetamol and oxygen. Too many people thinking in panic mode over common sense. Ultimately, as will all virus' you need herd immunity.

We basically do that with groceries in our mudroom. Unpackage anything that can be removed from original packaging. If it can't be removed, we wipe it with disinfectant. Then I spray the floor with disinfectant. And normally my husband has been using plastic bags but last week he used our material ones. I threw them straight into the wash on hot. It is such a process, took us over 1 hour.

Just wondering as anyone been to the supermarket in the afternoon say 5pm if so what was stock like and was it as busy as in the day?
yes ..i went to my local sainsbury's on Wednesday about 5.30. queued for about 5 mins to get in ..most items well stocked..still no eggs , handsoap, fresh chicken or batter mixes. i think it was better time..those early slots for elderly give me to shivers ..to me theres so many people out queuing for too long its scary.

There's no need to be a twat about it though have a nice day
 
There’s been stories of people over 100 surviving and people in their 80s and 90s. We often hear the bad stuff but there are good stories too. Take care x

I got “told off” at chemist yesterday as I didn’t stand behind the line. I’d not been out to shops fir four weeks I literally didn’t know what I was doing! It’s very odd you’re right. In my own home it’s like a bubble you can hide from it all it’s very weird in the shops.

Yes oxygen and time on a ventilator can and has helped people recover.
If everyone is ill at once some people won't have the opportunity to have that oxygen or that ventilator.

Same .. got told off too.
Went to pick my medication up and had to wait outside the Chemist's (they had the shutters down) for 40 minutes till they finally opened up again. You had to stand on a marked spot and shout your name and address. When it was ready they basically threw the bag with the medication at you from inside (staff never stepped out of the Chemist's and no one allowed in) .. queue behind me was massive. Good job we had great weather this week.

I love wee micky d. Have you seen the kids books about him? I have one for my son
I haven't ! but he's straight out of Darby O'Gill for me ,he's the epitome of a Leprechaun . We're so Lucky to have a President that people associate with one of the most iconic figures in Irish folklore to represent us ...

I did too last week! The door was open and they had a sign on the door that said only 2 in at a time and marked lines on the floor inside to stand behind. So I went in as the shop was empty and got told off for coming in and was told to go outside and they’ll come to me.

They should change the sign if they don’t want people coming in. Saw about 5 more people get told off too. Surely posting a sign on the door saying ‘stay outside’ would save them the breath and trouble.

I appreciate everything they’re doing, please nobody think I don’t, but they have a real attitude at my local pharmacy. Always have done.

My other half got moaned at by an elderly man in the butcher van queue. The guy wasn't keeping 2 metres apart so my partner politely asked him if he could move back a little bit more. He moaned and threw some sarcasm. And they say we should respect our elders? My God

Mine are a bit funny too always have been. Ask you a million questions every single time you go in and I’m like I’ve been coming in here for 8 years surely you don’t need to ask me all these personal questions all the time
