I wouldn’t be holding my breath to ever really be overly appreciated as to being a farmer.
Reality is we are a business, I actually don’t care if we are applauded or not once we keep getting paid for what we do. Yea a little thanks is nice every now and again but you can’t lodge a thanks in a bank.
At least we have jobs currently and are not healthcare workers.
Roads are exceptionally quiet around here apart from tractors, oil lorries and agri suppliers.
10 mile round trip tonight, one way at 7 and then at 9 and never met one. I've never seen that.
It's as good as a lockdown in my book.
Our government leader thanked farmers in his address on Wednesday.Perhaps not the public.
But the people running the country might wake up a bit.
The virus doesn't spread its selfAnd thats not intended on being morbid. It's reality and it's not being truthfully conveyed to the public. You can't stop this they are only trying to slow it down. The only time the danger of new cases goes away is with a vaccine or herd immunity.
I'll get it, you'll all get it, children the elderly sick healthy everyone. We'll all have to face it someday down the line.
Everybody on the planet would need to stay at home for 2 to 3 weeks and not come into contact with anyone. If one infected person comes in contact with another who didnt have it it's back to square one. That's just not a realistic solution.The virus doesn't spread its self
Humans spread the virus
If everyone isolated.for 4 weeks it would be well contained

I don't agree with you. I don't hear people saying that we are all going to get it only about how to avoid it. Most people I meet are of the opinion they aren't going to get it if they do x,y and z, but they will, and it's actually a necessity that they do for this to stop.I don't agree that this is not being conveyed to the public.
Its been made quite clear that what's been done so far and what will be done is an effort to slow the virus to first give time to make reasonable preparations in the health service and subsequently to manage the load on this beefed up service.
Flattening the curve, squishing the sombrero etc.
It's not about stopping people getting the virus, its about saving them when they get it. I don't think that's being hidden from anyone

It has not been made clear by the government that it's inevitable that everyone will get it and must get it. Terms like "slowing it in its tracks" instead of stopping it in its tracks is I believe purposefully manipulative.There's a big difference between what people are being told and what they choose to hear.
Just because Leo isn't running around screaming "were all doomed" doesn't mean we're being mislead.

It's not realistic but that's the truth of necessityEverybody on the planet would need to stay at home for 2 to 3 weeks and not come into contact with anyone. If one infected person comes in contact with another who didnt have it it's back to square one. That's just not a realistic solution.
Yes but our government are thinking. They went to the coop, and bought a length of rope and 3 gates. Assembled the gates onto a wall outside, and made a new pen. They used the rope to make a few halthers so now they can put 2 cows in each pen. 400% increase in capacity.It's a bit like having 100 cows to calve and only one calving pen. If they all calve the one day then your screwed

Not everyone becomes sick from the flu virus or very infectious but that doesn't mean you didn't come into contact with it, this though is highly infectious and just like the flu most people will not know they've even had it.You are not correct and you are spreading fear.
1.3 billion people in China. <100000 infections. China are now only seeing infection in people that are coming in to the country. Very few new community infections. There are WHO officials on the ground there that have confirmed this.
There are people who will come in contact with the virus in Ireland who's antibodies will be strong enough to fight it off. They won't become infected. Remember that this virus spreads like the flu virus. Not everybody gets the flu virus (approx 5 million people worldwide and 40,000 in Ireland).
There's no way to predict how many people will get this, but the facts are there that not everyone will get it. Social isolation will help to reduce the numbers as well as reduce the rate of infection so that hospitals can cope.

China will get a second wave as soon as they relax the movement restrictions. We know this it's been the plan all along, and you've proven my point that the government are not conveying this to the public!
