    They include:

    · 29 male, 40 female
    · 48 are associated with the east of the country, 13 with the south.

    Surprised that the female rate is higher then male

    It might focus the minds of people who are not getting social distancing etc

    Or it might make them worse thinking theres nothing in my area, I'll head out with my mates. At the end of the day, we should assume its everywhere. We isolate ourselves as much as possible and only mingle for food shopping or work.

    It’s kind of difficult to see where all this is going to end. Don’t think people and the economy can sustain current measures until a vaccine is available

    So I got laid off work today (tourism and hospitality industry) and while I was told it should be temporary they were unable to say for how long.

    So in all honesty, are we expecting the current situation with schools, working from home, social distancing and so on to go on longer than March 29th?
    I'm hoping once things go back to 'normal' that my workload will snap back! Seems naive though to think that would be 12 days from now

    11 deaths in the tiny country San Marino. Population just 33k

    It’s part of Italy. I know it’s a principality but there are no borders or restrictions entering or exiting it so for all intents and purposes it’s part of Italy.

    They're repeatedly saying at every press conference that there are huge delays along the chain of testing. They said that waiting lists of test are several days as demand now far exceeds the supply of tests. Of people who fit the criteria for symptoms being tested, they said about 80% of them don't test positive.

    Fergal Bowers said the of number people tested is 6,600, up from 1,800 last Tuesday. I really hope we don't run out of swabs. Today was supposed to contain the results of the first day of the increased testing but with only 60 positives today is likely only out of the further 300 tests done since Saturday.

    I'm so tired of watching this being mismanaged.

    This has huge potential to be a game changer as regarding numbers in self isolation waiting on results

    Few cases in Castlepollard
    So just up the road from longford

    They need to start naming the counties

    I know 2 people in longford self isolating as they think they might have it and have ordered testing


    But if they named the counties would that not then lead to people locating to counties with no virus and then spreading the virus further?

    If for example Co. Clare was showing clear in 2 weeks time and I'm in Dublin with a through the roof number I'd certainly be heading west with my flask, sleeping bag and possibly a dose of the virus.

    Would assume closer to 12 weeks and beyond rather than 12 days unfortunately

    Much longer than March 29th, May might be the earliest optimistic "back to normal" time if we follow the China timeframe

    It won’t snap back. That’s for sure.

    We're very lucky in Ireland all the same. Even in the middle of this crisis we can afford to have numerous virologists, epidemiologists and public health experts sitting at home giving their opinions.

    That could be a real game-changer. Made in Ireland as well, although I'm not sure that'll be much advantage to us seeing as we're selling all the ventilators made here. It's not a moment too soon either as there is a global shortage of the reagent used in the current tests.

    You've really opened my eyes, clearly your statement makes the HSE immune from criticism. How could I have overlooked this crucial point.

    It will probably be more like 12 weeks than 12 days

    It will be much longer than the 29th march. I would like to see the government bring forward a minimum wage for all those laid off as a result of this of around €350/week as well as supports like suspending utility bills, mortgages and rents. The cost would be far less than the economic damage done otherwise.

    I think there has been a bias towards males getting it, certainly in China, but that could be for sorts of reasons specific to that country.

    It's the same with those children gnashing their teeth and stamping their feet about the pubs being closed for a while.

    Thank you, I agree. I am sick at the idea of managing on €203 per week with rent and a 5 year old to think about.
    Really worried right now but I totally understand it is nobody's fault and it's absolutely in everyone's best interest to stay inside and slow the spread. Just a ****e situation all round.
