You're nuts, DM. The lives will be lost regardless. It's up to Govt to manage scheduling through whatever measures it - or it's advisers - see fit.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

No. People are going to die and we're all going to catch it at some stage, that's a given. The social distancing is supposed to manage the rate of transmission and death not prevent the same. Hence it's up to Govt - acting on HSE advice - what measures are needed to keep within whatever targets they are working to. Bear in mind that we have thousands of empty hospital beds right now.

The Minister himself told me that yesterday, Octy... on RTE News. He actually joked that he's the first Minister for Health in living memory to have empty beds, noting that he has single handedly solved the trolley crisis... or some such.

Yea but  without the equipment you may aswell die at home in yur own bed as in some kip wit strangers doctors who cant speak English and have dubious credentials....
I was talkin to a sub saharan doctor a month ago.in the car bring him to beaumount.......and I said .....wats the death rate of this ting ...bout 5 percent he said ...and then I asked him wats the death rate of ordinary flu ? ....bout .1 % ....
"Is that TypeA flu or B " I said ....."wat yu mean " he said
Does type A kill more than type B .....I said
There  is no type a or b they all the same ......he said
That was the fukin end of that conversation
