Glad the HSE basically called out the muppets filling out pubs....

They did but I thought their language could have been much stronger and critical.

Muppets would actually have been a good word.

2% of all tests testing positive George Lee just been saying on the news. That figure should calm us down a little but it's still a damn scary situation.

Self isolate for 7 days or 14 days? Which is it?

The only government recommending 7 days is the UK. Safe to say do not listen to that advice.

I back tracked....20 new cases yesterday, 39 today.If we are saying 39 is essentially 2 days worth of results, there is a very tiny bit of encouragement in those numbers, although it is very early days yet..Be interested to see the rate of increase in Italy's around this time.

Was it not 27 yesterday

Think our effort as a country from the hse and government has been good. People laughing and mocking and making chemical Ali “jokes” are no doubt the lads in the pubs today. Clowns.

billybonkers · 14-03-2020 07:16PM

The numbers are going to increase dramatically next week as the rest criteria changed yesterday and all the tests are not complete

CiarraiAbu2 · 14-03-2020 07:16PM

Nice to see some pubs acting accordingly, some right really greedy pricks in Killarney last night, yes I know both are to blame but it's their premises, I really think their licences should be taken off them till this subsides if they don't cooperate.

Yes, it's been a very good response so far. And the percentage of positive tests us encouraging. Hoping we get this under control

I've posted this already but will again to try calm the inevitable hysteria:

There should be a large jump in today's briefing but before people go crazy - it is due to an acceleration in getting test results back.
It was taking nearly a day before but since yesterday they are getting results back in 4 hours.

So today's new cases figure will essentially be for 2 days and not 1

Sincerely, thank you for this.

expectationlost · 14-03-2020 07:17PM

does gov not have the authority to even advise pub closures?

autumnbelle · 14-03-2020 07:17PM

The people working in the labs are unreal from 600 a week to 600 tests a day

Is there a history from today's 39 cases. Are they related to travel or community transmission?

For the obvious reasons. There are stuff more important in life than jobs.

Yes. But some of us have families to support, mortgages to pay, little savings and work in businesses which will be shut down due to this. Without income, keeping a family and a household together creates enormous strain, especially mental strain, on parents and children. The fallout from this is going to be enormous and will take years to rectify to any level of what we deemed normal.

I'm interested to get people's thoughts on when the peak of the virus will be here? Some say within 2 weeks, others say 2 or 3 months!

Rossi IRL · 14-03-2020 07:19PM

There 39 cases were mostly all tested in the last 24 hours

So we've carried out about 6,500 tests? Genuine question, anyone know?

wakka12 · 14-03-2020 07:19PM

How many of the new cases are community transmission? That is by far the most important information

I hold my hands up and say I was one of those people, because I did believe for a period we were not doing enough based on the data from other countries. Sure Govt parties were still in post election hysteria.

I am now happy our focus has shifted and we seem to have a good strategy.

just said most of those 39 are from the last 24hours

fritzelly · 14-03-2020 07:20PM

Not from 2 days of tests as someone said earlier

And fair play to the pubs that are taking this seriously and closing. They'll be the ones I give business to when this all hopefully runs it's course

To be honest the ones still packing them in are temple bar **** and a large % of the customers will hopefully be leaving after their stag hen . Sadly they may be bringing an extra present back with them

Unfortunately i think we will have to see a death of a person who is young and without and underlying condition before some muppets take this seriously.

I'm impressed with Tony Holohan and his colleagues. They are coming across as very calm and competent. I find them very reassuring

Depends how aggressive our lockdown is and how well it's observed, but China took 3 months to reach and after 7 weeks Italy haven't yet reached its peak.

We're about 5 weeks behind Italy so I'd guess we're a month away at an optimistic forecast and probably into May is more realistic.
