Absolutely no surprise there.

Yes, no surprise, given the underlying trend of the last number of weeks where numbers fall over the weekend but peak again midweek, but at a lower peak than the previous week

INMO Trolley Watch figures for May 6th 2020

47 beds short in Irish hospitals today, the numbers creeping up gradually.

This may seem bad but this could be a sign things are getting back to normality. Why are they not using private hospital beds?

Another example of why I minimize my exposure to media, headline and first few lines look bad, but when you read the article you realise there is a lot of conjecture there, they don't actually know that the mutations are more lethal or contagious ....

The German government gives permission for the Bundesliga to resume - the date will be determined tomorrow, but could be as soon as the 16th:

Yeh it's odd. All media attention is generally focused on Italy and Spain as well when Belgium is by far the hardest hit in Europe. Uk will also likely very soon overtake them both in number of deaths per capita. Fairly little attention given to the situation in Paris as well yet at least 6300 people have died there, with thousands of others unaccounted for at home as well apparently, most of the home deaths apparently occurred in poor suburbs of Paris

Belgium are recording all deaths, including "probable deaths from Covid-19 without a positive test". It may simply that they are being more honest with their stats, rather than having a worse problem.

Russian numbers are very dodgy - over 10,000 positive tests per day and less than 100 deaths. That would suggest they were catching virtually every positive

Belgium is probably about as bad as the UK, if all numbers were equal.

Belgium's location and tourism was the issue mainly. As the EU hub, it sees a lot of in/out traffic from all over Europe, and was thus exposed to considerably more traffic from infected regions.

Our tourist numbers are higher than Belgium's, but 60% of all our tourism comes from the UK and North America.

Our exposure to the UK is why we were hit so hard, but our overall exposure was relatively limited compared to Belgium. Despite wailing about Italian rugby fans, we weren't flying in people from infected regions at the same level that Belgium was.

Belgium was absolutely rife with Covid well before any measures could be taken, whereas we managed to get in relatively early.

Can you provide evidence that Irelnad has been hit hard by 'exposure to the U.k. https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2020/0229/1119357-coronavirus-ireland/ First case from Northern Italy. The first case that came to NI was from Italy, first case recorded in Scotland was from France. I await your evidence.

This is one of the reasons why I've stopped frequenting this thread is because of the amount of lies and disinformation that has origniated purely from racial and anti-British sentiment.

There are some folks that are still saying that the South is under threat from Northern Ireland which simply is not true. Another layering of lies.

Here is a timeline for everyone who is spouting the nonsense that vectors came from the UK. https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/0320/1124382-covid-19-ireland-timeline/

All the initial cases, and there were many came from Northern Italy NOT THE U.K. !!!!!!!

Actual good news. I like the bit about multiple strains etc.

These antibodies neutralized 10 representative SARS-CoV-2 strains, suggesting a possible broader neutralizing ability against SARS-CoV-2 strains. Three immunizations using two different doses (3 μg or 6 μg per dose) provided partial or complete protection in macaques against SARS-CoV-2 challenge, respectively, without observable antibody-dependent enhancement of infection. These data support clinical development of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines for humans.

https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/hogan-says-it-will-take-until-at-least-2024-to-rebuild-eu-economy-39185580.html

EU Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan has said it will take at least the next four years for European economies and trade, including Ireland’s, to recover in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis.

Mr Hogan said it will take “a number of years” for trade to recover in the aftermath of the pandemic. He said it will be a “constant battle” for the rest of his mandate, which runs to 2024, to “put the jigsaw back together”.

Trickle Hogan is quite pessimistic but he is probably right.

From 25th March but would anticipate the Italy figure would not have grown but UK would

While two-thirds of cases originated in Ireland, people returning from Italy accounted for 61 cases, followed by the UK (44), Austria (39) and Spain (20), said the health surveillance centre. Thirteen cases were related to travel from France, seven from Switzerland, and three from the United States.

We are supposed to be doing that also, I think? Including probables. Population ratio wise that would give them 2500 - 3000 deaths approximately if compared to us. They have 9000.

Yes the first and sustained amount of cases came from Italy, not the U.K.

Australian listed biotechnology giant CSL will work with some of its biggest rivals in the blood plasma business to try to develop a potential treatment for patients suffering complications from COVID-19.

CSL - which briefly took over from Commonwealth Bank as the ASX's largest company by market value earlier this year - said on Monday it would form an "alliance" with other blood therapy manufacturers to collect plasma from people who have contracted and then fully recovered from COVID-19.

People who have recovered from the coronavirus will have antibodies in their blood that can fight the virus, the alliance said in a statement on Friday. Collected plasma will be sent to manufacturing facilities to be processed, which will include "virus inactivation" and removal, and then purified into a "hyperimmune" product the companies believe could treat infected patients.

The alliance will include CSL's plasma division, CSL Behring; Japanese group Takeda Pharmaceutical; German company Biotest; British group BPL; France's LFB; and Swiss manufacturer Octapharma.

https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/csl-to-work-with-rivals-for-potential-covid-19-treatment-made-from-recovered-patients-plasma-20200406-p54hly.html

Many, many threads back, I posted a link to a doctor on twitter appealing for people in SF who had tested positive, had mild or no symptoms and who had recovered, to contact her as she wanted to get their plasma to urgently treat a relative of hers who was in dire straits.

I've noticed the news headlines are very hyped up lately - Virus has mutated, etc. No it hasn't - there are just slight variations among regions which is normal. Another favourite seems to be the pushing of the story that you won't become immune to the virus once fighting it off. Again this is nonsense and all the evidence is showing that you do indeed become immune, we just don't know yet for how long. I do think frightening people is not right, and some state broadcasters are guilty of this also.
On a positive note, I've never seen the wildlife so active in my area, perhaps less human activity has given nature a chance to recover somewhat.

Hopefully it is but we also now have more time to take notice of the nature around us with so many taking the air so much. A chance to reconnect, which is one upside of all this downtime, which is nice.

If there were cases in France before Christmas, there was probably cases here before the 28th of February.

Northern Italy was focused on because it had lit up over there.

It was focused on because the first confirmed cases in Ireland had recently travelled from Northern Italy.

How Soon Is Now

I work in Dublin City center and I dunno what has changed this week but the clear difference in the amount of people around today compared to previous weeks.

Social distancing seems to be gone out the window in a lot of cases as well as there's groups of people everywhere.

I'm on the luas home atm and it's also that bit busier and again people seem to be glued to each other.

Has anyone who had to go into self quarantine had authorities check in on them to ensure they are? How does it work? Does anyone know? If people travel back from abroad later in the summer how will the gov manage it to ensure people are in quarantine?

BREAKING: Health officials have confirmed a further 37 deaths of patients diagnosed with Covid-19 and 265 new confirmed cases in Ireland.

86 currently in ICU. This number continues to reduce, so its good news on that front anyway.
