I don't own FB, so I apologise.

Having a NHS colleague send me that, I thought I could trust the message.

Don’t know why but I wanted to punch him.

I wanted to freeze him, run him through a band saw and throw him the freezer for the winter months

Gallows humour, mate.

I wouldn’t wish anything but the best for Ireland. All countries for that matter.

Didn’t take it that way SB.
We’re dealing with it well over here, but don’t know how long it can be sustained.

It seems like the person at the morgue who issued the death certificate just put coronavirus down as the cause of death because she had a cough. She had no post-mortem by any coroner.

None of the people who treated her at the hospital or her family thought she had coronavirus until that point - so no one who brought her in, no one who tried to save her life.

@denislawsbackheel's hypothesis that she had pneumonia so bad she had a heartattack is simply impossible, as no one goes from walking about OK but with a little cough to heartattack in the blink of an eye...she'd have been bedridden and hospitalised for days or weeks with pneumonia before that point.

I bow to your medical expertise and intimate knowledge of the case.

The public need to buy into this. Ireland just don't have the numbers to "lockdown " the whole country. If the people put in a huge effort over the next month not 2 weeks we might have a fighting chance of keeping our healthcare system afloat. I live in a small rural town of about 1000 people. I don't envisage the authorities tracking my every movement over the next 2 weeks.
