The daily Covid admission and discharge numbers reported do not stack up with the hospital numbers so I can only assume that it is people who are already in hospital testing positive. Dr. Durkan from Beaumont Hospital said people are coming to hospital for other reasons with no Covid symptoms...

There should be no list at all within the E.U. Covid is in every country. Planes have been found to be low risk in the spread. Prof. Schaffer said during the week she rang the Department of Health to ask how many cases were attributed to travel and they told her none. I don’t understand why the...

Yes I was a few weeks ago. I was told to arrive exactly on time for my appointment. The dentist wore 3 face masks and a face shield. I found it difficult to hear him when he spoke. The price was no different to normal.

South Korea released a report on a study last week that showed people were most likely immune from re-infection. The report is awaiting peer review. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/coronavirus-covid19-reinfection-immune-response

Abbot tests are more accurate up to 40 days since suspected infection. Roche tests are more accurate after 40 days since suspected infection. The wholesale cost of these tests (not including lab work) is about €6. Brendan, there is a company in Dublin offering the test. The name escapes me...

Likewise our judicial system.

I couldn't agree more Purple. To get stats I look to the UK: Age specific mortality rates UK per percentage population of same age group for March and April 40 - 44 - 0.0004% 45 - 49 - 0.0008% 50 - 54 - 0.0014% 55 - 59 - 0.0025% 60 - 64 - 0.0044% 65 - 69 - 0.0067% 70- 74 - 0.01% 75 - 80 -...

I would imagine it is still spreading in nursing homes, care settings, hospitals and hospices. Only 10% (40 people) of deaths have been in ICU. They won’t intubate the very old or gravely ill so I assume most of the remaining 90% fall into that category.

Booking.com does not deduct it’s commission. It invoices the hotels so would not have a trail of payments. I am surprised they offered to refund her in the first place. If the hotel is closed at the moment I am sure that they will refund your daughter once open. As her flights were...

Medtronics is a US company with a factory based here. I am sure some that we have ordered are from there but doubt we are jumping any queues.

A HSE doctor said that every ventilator, assuming two weeks use per patient this year, has the potential to save 26 lives. Each ventilator costs €30,000. On another note, there is a GoFundMe doing the rounds called Feed the Heroes raising money to deliver food from takeaways/restaurants to...

I heard that we are getting 100 extra per week. We need about 2500 immediately and 100 extra per week from then on.

10% of patients with CV require ventilators for at least 2 weeks. Germany has one of the highest level of ICU beds/ventilators in Europe at 29.2 per 100,000. They have also been adding to this number greatly since the crisis. Italy have 12.5 per 100,000. They are now overwhelmed. Doctors say...

In Italy the median age of the 600 people in ICU is 65, more young people lately. They all have pneumonia resulting in acute respiratory failure. I hope the HSE have been stocking up on oxygen/ventilators. If we don’t have enough, it doesn’t really matter what age you are.

Excluding the sound proofing as I have no idea what that costs I am estimating about 23 - 25k for that list.

Very similar to Cluid who now have 2500 properties with a plan to buy or build 1500 more in the next 3 years. Funded by state grants, government loans and private finance. I know when I sold a house to them it was 100% financed by the county council. They also keep all the rent although I am...

I looked into getting similar a while ago. I found ecospace.ie much cheaper. I never went through with it so I cannot comment on the quality of their work.

I recently bought a house. Like Leo the first question the estate agent asked was did we have to sell our house. Any offer we made had to be in writing and accompanied by proof of funds for the entire offer amount. We were told without that our offer would not be accepted. Wait until your...

They are unlikely to have ever worked nor will they. The sense of entitlement is astounding. A journalist on Newstalk visited the houses today and described them as state-of-the-art. If the travellers want to keep animals/pets it is up to them to provide for them just like everyone else in the...

Once it is removed from the ICB you should have no difficulty. I would order a new report once after the September date has passed. Just don’t apply for any loans or open new accounts in the meantime as they will run a credit check and your bad score will be visible.
