    Your right unfortunately the pubs will be full of the “I’ll be grand “ brigade tonight

    That’s such a selfish attitude, they might be ‘grand’ but can they say for any older people they meet or other young people with underlying health issues.

    1.9m seems ridiculously high

    Viruses aren't drama queens. They just are. 1.9m is a valid projection.

    If anyone can do the maths with last week's headline saying 1.9m can be infected within 3 weeks. How true can this be?
    Seriously, only time will tell. Indeed we have little idea of how many are currently infected as they have limited testing to date. Some of us may have had it and recovered just thinking it was a regular winter bug. The UK approach in particular makes me wonder this. It may be they feel they are already some way towards their "herd immunity"

    Ultimately though, any predictions are speculation. This is too new to be able to accurately predict what will, or even may, happen. Once we've seen a full "season" of this we will probably have better "predictive" powers. At this stage it's as much a matter of reacting to what we are actually experiencing, both here and elsewhere

    The flu hospitalised over 2000 people between November and January, is that about right?

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

    Well the HSE might be aiming that just as much at government as the public.

    I doubt the HSE said, close all schools but make sure to keep our borders and all the pubs open.

    27 on thursday, 20 on friday, 39 today in ROI.

    Take no notice of the numbers. It is probably running rampant in the community. The pattern of spread in other countries indicates that.

    Although the numbers are bad (albeit not as bad as I was expecting >50), I must say that watching the press conference is good for the soul - especially compared to the hysteria and hyperbole on here at times! Dr. Holohan and Dr. De Gascun are extremely calm, composed, and measured. Even if they are not inwardly confident, they sure give off the impression that they are, whilst showing no complacency either.

    Is there anyone actually saying "just a flu"?

    That's getting to be a very annoying trope to be honest..

    Have heard loads of people saying just that around where I live, the danger still not fully sunk into everyone yet.

    Curve derived from confirmed cases would make it about 25th/26th April. But that's pure guesstimate.

    Well there's one there anyway saying it's only a cold.

    Good grief. There's always be one dope proving the exception.

    Either way, still an annoying trope.

    The Brits must be the most stubborn, pig-headed nation on the planet.

    Can't be seen to follow everyone else. Have to do their own thing.

    They are not getting advice from world class anyone. Their approach is insane, potentially genocidal against older people. It will mean long term old people will be locked in their homes unable to see children or grandchildren.

    Its basically the same approach as Italy took. Where Italy are today the UK will be in a week as the UK have sped up not slowed down the spread. Johnson doesn't know what he's doing.

    The man advising Johnson Patrick Vallance has explained himself and his approach totally and quite simply and in full. You can pretend he hasn’t or that you haven’t seen the explanation but that’s hard to believe.
    It’s a different approach to ours but that doesn’t make it wrong.
    Do you expect the crisis here to be over in 2 weeks time when the schools reopen?

    HSE inferring UK basing decisioning on using their own data with a sample size of 500 vs that of the WHO who have a sample size of 72000.

    Utter fookwits across the water.

    What are we worrying about them for? Concentrate on our own failings. Pubs open, airports open, ports open. Ridiculous.

    I think this is absolute lunacy. We’re blaming children for socializing and play dates yet pubs are full of adults who should know better. Ah sure we’ll be grand!

    Italy +3,497 new cases, +175 deaths today.

    What are South Korea doing so well that Italy aren't ?

    Around the same time Italy was starting to get out of control so was South Korea ..
