Seriously if Italian level casualty rates start hitting us there will be mass panic far higher than there was after the first shutdown announcement. WTF is the country going to be like?

They are up to lunchtime on the day they release them, so that 24 hours I guess.

Fcuk all were tested today

Very few tested today would be included in these results anyway but I thought testing had ramped up in the last 2 days so likely many more tested yesterday & today compared to numbers last week

As of the 13th of March, just two people in Italy died from COVID19 who did not have other underlying health issues.

How old?

69 new cases - not 30% increase, so good

It's not going to be exactly 30% every day. But even so, it actually was an increase of 30.9%.

223 cases, increase by 69 to 292.

69/223 =30.9% increase.

Naked Lepper · 17-03-2020 05:56PM

is the general rule of thumb that new cases recorded today were probably contracted 14 days ago?

The whole island of Ireland has half the population of Lombardy. The figures won’t seem catastrophic here.

Italys cases up again ....
f*ck this ****, lockdown's not working, might as well just let it spread, at least that way the economy won't die.

Test centres i believe over the coming days will be able to test more and we'll see a more accurate reflection. But lets see. Hopefully it'll be good news

Shn99 · 17-03-2020 05:56PM

Apparently a backlog in testing

Loved seeing all the mini parades that people had at their houses on the news. Some towns had a car parade as well.

10000maniacs · 17-03-2020 05:57PM

Expect the big figure tomorrow when everybody is back testing patients.

Both Chine and Cuba are sending equipment and medical staff to help other countries.

You can bet it will be remembered by the recipients for a very long time.

Yes I believe that Italy had already sent something (not sure what) to China before it all kicked off there too!

Between 6 and 72 depending on the test centre. The national virology centre is 6 hours but a smaller and smaller proportion of our tests are being done there.

Presumably it started with one or two cases in Italy and spread out gradually. We've has multiple sources of infection coming back from skiing holidays etc. over that period, fires breaking out all over the place.

Skiing resorts in France and Italy and school holidays have acted as petri dishes for the virus, with people from all over Europe meeting up there.
The virus was circulating earlier in Germany, Netherlands (earlier than in Italy)... and then everyone headed out on holiday.

They'll be preparing for a second wave I'd imagine, they won't be giving away anything that they'll possibly need.

It should be here by now though.

Italy cases have plateaued in the past few days

We won’t see benefits of lockdown for at least 2 weeks.

Implementing that, economy will die anyway when people get scared and don't go into work.

Or are looking after sick relatives.

Fcuking hell 292 cases in the south of Ireland, 350 in the whole of Ireland.

Are they going to introduce any more measures to control this?

There's no talk of how much are serious cases?

you sound surprised? there is an expected 15,000 by end of month,

the measures are simple - stay at home, social distancing etc. to make sure that by end of April we don't have 500,000 cases

FFS, I think you are away with the fairies if you think those numbers are bad. I suggest you only look at ICU and number of deaths from here on.

mathie · 17-03-2020 05:59PM

nitial value 200
Number of periods 30
Compound growth rate 30%
Future compounded value 523999

thomas 123 · 17-03-2020 05:59PM

I think we will see more cases but a lot more tests will highlight it’s not so rampant hopefully.

To be fair to the government they are doing as much as we can ask of them and they are acting fast.

It only takes a few hours to get the results problem is they take a day or more to get to the lab, this should speed up now that they have more labs coming on steam i think it was suggested that it took 3 or 4 days from swab to results

It can take up to 14 days. A guy on YouTube had symptoms after two day.

It's rising, more stricter lock down needed, how many cases are from returnees?

What's the full population of ROI? And also NI?

Yes 1000s dying wont kill the economy....

The effects of Italy's lockdown wont be seen for a few more days, but it also may have simple been too late.

We hopefully were not but wont know till early April.

But you know **** it lets just give up already.....
