Apparently Israel are not permitting anyone into the country (even returning citizens), unless they can prove their ability to self-isolate for two weeks!

Simon Coveney thinks this is "too extreme"?? (Despite the entire country of Italy already being on lockdown) lol

Meanwhile, we are sending 1,000's of punters over to Cheltenham for a horse racing festival... and presumably - knowing us - allowing them back in with very little checks in place!

Ah Ireland.... sure it'll be grand like... what's the worst that could happen? :pac:

The Mater is the first choice isolation unit for the Dublin area. Of course there are cases there.

6 of the 10 in the south presumably cork

Given the population of Cork in comparison to the rest of the south I would think that is a fair deduction. They should really be giving a county by county breakdown though.

Quick question. People keep mentioning no community invections. How would we have community infections confirmed if they are only testing people who have had been in a infected area or have had contact with a confirmed case. Has the testing policy changed?

As far a I understand, when numbers are still small you can do contact tracing and be reasonably sure there was no further spread?

eviltimeban · 10-03-2020 07:34PM

Sorry I was wrong about it being 4. It is 10.

By hand sanitiser and wipes in the shops, I mean for use rather than sale. Supervalu and Centra have them at the door.

Anyone there that could courier them home? Surely one of her housemates has to go back to get their stuff too, albeit from less of a distance

She's looked into people from our section of the state that go to school there. There are only two people from our entire area who attend it. And the other one lives in an apartment off campus. Her roommate is in Virginia, the opposite direction and all RA's will not be on campus so she is the only one who can get into her room.

There should be cases in the Mater. It's the National Infectious Diseases Unit.

Theres no community spread cases as the HSE refuse to test for community spread.

Complete horse****. Well done. I hope you and Cinemaguy enjoy your posts. Disgrace.

Look at our number of tests compared to Uk and how we ramped up. Keyboard warriors. The worst.

Honestly it's a lot of cases in just a couple of weeks

Yup this.

And up until today weren’t testing people if they came back from anywhere in Italy except Lombardy. I know a girl who came back from Italy, had fever and a cough a day after returning and the HSE had ZERO time for her. Didn’t even tell her to self isolate or anything. They were just interested in if she came back from Lombardy.

10 Cases.

Amazingly the HSE plan of pretend its not there and hope it goes away has failed spectacularly.

They're still pretending I fear

Don't believe anything you read on this thread.

I don’t understand this to be honest. Okay I can understand the sheer amount of time/tests it could waste if every hypochondriac in Ireland thinks they have the virus, but they’re acting like the only way you could possibly have this illness is if you’ve travelled abroad to an affected region. We are an affected region! And if anyone on holiday here travels back to their home country and starts to see symptoms, they will meet the criteria for testing as they “travelled from an affected region”.
It’s just mad and makes no sense to me.

is_that_so · 10-03-2020 07:36PM

98% have not tested positive.

Mic 1972 · 10-03-2020 07:36PM

Please lock down now, or we will have to in 2 weeks anyway

fritzelly · 10-03-2020 07:36PM

So with all the other "confirmed" cases today it's actually 40 new cases today?

Definitely. Very selfish on their part

Ideally they should all be quarantined. Obviously that won`t happen though.

ACitizenErased · 10-03-2020 07:37PM

The numbers provided by the press conference suggest average tests per day is 200.

Based on this thread and their 'sources' I'd say it's closer to 50 billion.

Interesting,if Bekker is right then 10 cases would be far in excess of the norm (less China).

Range is 1.03-1.25, but varies day to day (my cals do not factor varying multiples, no mode or median figures available that I could find. Using that range with 0.03 intervals gives a mean of ~ 1.165.

The high figures seem to be common to ROI/UK, no idea why.

Really too few data points available as yet to establish where we are on the growth curve, it's all guess work so far. It will continue to be until future cases start falling roughly into the forward projections without back-fitting, about another 7/10 days yet. As the numbers rise I fear our case numbers will develop into a classic exponential growth curve.

Zenify · 10-03-2020 07:38PM

Does anyone know if our healthcare workers have enough safety equipment? I know the masks are made in limerick so I assume we are ok for them, but what about everything else?
