      So "40-70%" is now just "70%". A margin of over 2 billion people.

      I see.

      Either 19% or 17.4%* of the passengers of the Diamond Princess contracted the disease. It had different age profile to the general population and it's well recorded that the quarantine was not well handled. Would that be a more realistic upper limit in global terms?

      * Two different percentages because there were 705 cases but reports say they were 3,711 passengers quarantined but 4,061 people tested.

      They only changed that since you got home!

      Yesterday the UK jumped from 52 to 85 (33). Today 85 to 115 (30). Less than yesterday, hope that's a good sign.

      Most countries seem to report early in the day but we tend to find out around 8.30pm..wonder is there a reason for this. We'll be more relaxed at the end of the day?!


      Most shops are closed by then so people can't run out and buy all the bog roll because the bayesian probability of catching de Virus went up.

      I'm trying find a Twitter thread/story that was probably mentioned on here too (sorry if this has been asked before - these threads are massive!) where eagle-eyed posters saw the West of Ireland cluster on map by zooming in on photo of computer screens before it was announced officially? I saw it originally & thought total conspiracy theory, now I want to get their info!

      Hard to see how it could possibly be a higher percentage than the infection rate of a group of people, mostly in the older at risk category, locked up in the same indoor space together for a large amount of time.

      The city of Wuhan has an infection rate of less than 1% and numbers have been dropping.

      Find it very hard to imagine it hitting a larger percentage than that of the world population.

      You can still pay with cash but it's mostly touch screen.

      You can still catch viruses by licking the screen though.

      That was over a 6 week period. You dont understand how exponential growth works if you fail to see how the numbers can spiral out of complete control very quickly. The city is still on lockdown btw

      Ohh FFS

      A group from Coláiste Eamon Rís in Callan recently travelled to a region in Italy, and returned here on February 21. It is understood it was at most a low-level contact, and does not meet the threshold for testing.

      What an assumption.

      Given that the map doesn't show the confirmed case in Dublin I'd be more inclined to think it's crap mapping software rather than a new case in the midlands..

      Not to panic or anything.
      In the region of Lombardy where Milan is located there are 2251 cases positive. 1169 in hospital, 244 in intensive care.
      Which is our statewide limit of intensive care.
      Not saying to panic just numbers that are real and decisions we can make now.
      Time to postpone the parade ? Surely not.

      "Ad oggi in Lombardia ci sono "2.251 casi positivi" di coronavirus, "1169 ricoverati, in terapia intensiva 244"

      I do know how exponential growth works, you missed the "and the numbers have been dropping" part.

      Just because you want it to be exponential so you can keep doom mongering doesn't make it so.

      Just seen there that there is 6 cases in Scotland too, so the same as Ireland at the moment plus the 3 Northern cases.
