If the numbers are high, get hysterical. When the numbers are low, claim they’re not right anyways and get hysterical. That’s these 5 threads summed up really.

Sadly I think Vlad checked out weeks ago. He can only think what socks he will wear to the White House, and then what life together with Matt might be in another country. Sorry if that sounds offensive, but that's what I am getting.

So the new TS is Harris. I know he is MFH but haven't heard a word from Coveney, has anyone else?

The tragedy of all this is, there is no elected Government, only those carrying on in the interregnum. Can't blame them for not having full on control either. Although they are trying.

SF have been kind of silent too as have FF in all this. Running for cover I suspect and delighted they don't have to deal with it. I am noting this attitude for the future.

Have you entirely missed the bit where they announced a €3bn package to help the self employed and those not entitled to sick pay?

3 new cases, seems to be fairly well contained here, nowhere near the number of most EU countries and the UK. Crises averted I think.

For today!;) Let's not get carried away.

Is there any possibility that we might not actually reach the craziness of Italy etc? And Dr. Holohan maybe right in saying we maybe able to contain it.

As Richard Hatchette said on Ch 4 news last friday, only the entire population being on a ‘war footing’ can mitigate this, ie behaviour modification. Studies have shown that proper handwashing can cut virus transmission rates by up to 54%. That would cut exponential growth rates by a fair margin.

3 out of the entire 24 cases they can't explain how they got it.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda...

Let's stick to the facts at hand shall we? Three further people have been confirmed as having contracted Covid-19 today. That is a lot less than some have been predicting on here anyway.

And thankfully, still no deaths.

Yeah, and it will take some extrapolation to get to 1.9 million.

Time will be unkind to this evaluation of the situation. We're at the start of the same curve that Italy started into 2-3 weeks ago...

No. The crisis is not averted. We still very early in a cycle of case presentation. The numbers revealed tonight are fantastic but to say crisis AVERTED?

Is that a normal enough figure considering the population and it is flu season

This reminds me of The Simpsons: "Old people don't need companionship - they need to be isolated and studied so it can be determined what nutrients they have that might be extracted for our personal use." Not having a go - I agree with you, it's just every time I see something like that said, I lol.

Humour is important right now imo.

Yeh but ****e or inappropriate humour is not

Stevieluvsye · 09-03-2020 08:18PM

So quadruple the figures based on how many were tested. I’m expecting a few hundred by the weekend

Over 4000 cases today worldwide so far outside China

The number presented by the HSE is far better than many of us expected.

It really does mean the throughput of the testing service needs to be shared.

There are significant numbers of people known to be exposed up to last Friday.
The Glasnevin school, the band, the 177 medical staff already exposed and the contact tracing of other known cases has to account for a large of the 1000 tests that were spoken about last Friday.

How many have made it through the NVLS process since?
I posted earlier that I was expecting @35 to tally with numbers I had been privy to.

The small rise, albeit welcome doesn't tally with information to hand.

The number of differential versus confirmed diagnosis is still not disclosed.

The number in isolation, doesn't tally with the number of diagnosis and be it due to a clogged system or misreporting?

Something is amiss somewhere.

Just want to be clear on something, these kind of statements are lethal. Socially and professionally. I'd recommend treading carefully with them

There was a meeting of all party leaders today and they will be briefed twice a week from now on. There's not really any room on the stage for anyone except Holohan & team with Harris periodically briefing.

Fair enough. But it took a while to cancel the Dublin Parade, that was decided by Central Control. Other cities and towns decided themselves.

There are other big International gatherings (indoor) upcoming in the Capital and will wait and see what happens there. Reckon they will go ahead.

eviltimeban · 09-03-2020 08:19PM

3 new cases, that's good. Earlier I thought to myself the range will probably be 3 - 10, best / worst case. So I'm glad it was more the best case.

I think we're doing well here - we're all aware of it. Every shop, from Centra to Supervalu, has alcohol gel available as well as disinfectant cloths to wipe down trolleys etc. And people are using them.

What we need to do now is vacate the pubs and clubs and minimize travel on public transport. We may just contain this.

Maximum is 625.

It was 2013 and my memory for the excat details is faulty. Having checked, she got 600 out of a possible 625 and had to settle for nursing thanks to the hpat exclusion mechanism.

Thankfully, this seems to have become an obsession for many! About time too.

Watchiing the Italian figures will really give us an indication of peak , and hopefully recovery , similar to China and South Korea -
Obviously the Italian figures today were horriic, but I believe ther was less deaths than yesterday, hopefuly soon we will see similar drops as in China.

Italy are no where even slightly close to any concept of a 'peak', they are still at phase 1, maybe early phase 2 of a 12wk seasonal pandemic, that won't suddenly stop even at peak of late May, early June.

This is in addition to normal deaths from other illnesses and flus.
It's not instead of or a total over all.

Hamsterchops · 09-03-2020 08:19PM

Only three new cases!

So that makes 24.

Was expecting many more.....

Thank you for this post.We did right by slowly and gradually getting extra stocks in. Thankfully folk around me wholeheartedly supported this. Long term isolation because of being immunocompromised makes us careful where supplies are concerned. And inconsiderate to ask folk later to shop because we did not make provision and are too unwell or with symptoms and need to self isolate.

I may be wrong but I think that those who have been prepping well ahead of time have done so much more rationally than those that will descend upon their local Tesco the moment we hit a big increase in infected.

What are the health conditions of the confirmed cases in ROI?

Specific clinical presentations are not discussed publicly due to the current small number of cases in Ireland at this very moment. It presents a serious confidentiality concern.
