where are those more detailed stats? for some people like me it whats get through to us

are the HSE still counting travel, local community or is there no point anymore with many possible sources? I'd certainly like the stats on this from the last week, they stopped giving them out on the 13th https://www.gov.ie/en/news/7e0924-latest-updates-on-covid-19-coronavirus/ to me it'd be interesting to see when it was the unknown community sources passed out travel and local sources.

local known contacts passed out travel on the 12th

HSE said in their last conference they will release detailed stats of last 7 days from Friday, which will go into a county case breakdown, as well as number of community transmitted cases, recoveed cases etc.

Existing mortuary getting a pre-fab extension. The workmen literally started this morning.

Makes sense. I'd imagine current mortuaries don't have a huge amount of extra space for mass increases in deaths.

How the Brits f*cked up their response to Covid 19.

The 'Herd Immunity' notion would have cost over 1/4 million deaths.

Time wasting and their late conversion to the global consensus on how to deal with Covid-19, means that they are now probably too late to stop an unmitigated disaster.

At the time, scientists advising ministers appeared to believe it could be treated like influenza, and that a “controlled epidemic” would generate “herd immunity” that would help protect the most vulnerable against the infection. The scenario called for upwards of 60% of the population to contract the virus.

The government’s strategy changed dramatically on Monday when the prime minister announced that new modelling from Imperial College London demonstrated that more draconian measures were needed to slash the estimated death toll from 260,000 to about 20,000.

The numbers are going to start stacking up in hospital a couple weeks from now. If anything we need to enforce isolation and social distancing more going forward. Its going to take at least 3 months of this to get the numbers under control.

Iran having 1,135 deaths today is just surreal.

Anyone get the feeling that the government are loving this crisis. Never saw the likes of Harris and Donohoe so animated, they are almost giddy.

No fan of Leo and crew but do you seriously believe anyone is taking delight in this crisis when the results will be the death of many of our citizens and a severally damaged economy.

When Vallance came out with the herd mentality idea, he was almost universally lauded by the UK media as a genius. Turns out he was nothing of the sort.

London is turning into one hell of a hotspot.
621 cases there alone.

Photos of people packed on the Tube in today's newspapers online. Frightening stuff. ( tube should have been shut down a week ago..)

Really? “Surreal” is the appropriate word? Given that 1,080 people died every single day in Iran in 2019?

snowgal · 18-03-2020 05:02PM

I know its a question that nobody can answer for certain, but, any thoughts and when the Government might extend the 29th March deadline?? I think we can safely say theyre not going to lift the ban on that date.....Just wondering do people think they'll give some notice or will they leave it like the initial announcement?

All flights in and out of UK need to be stopped at this stage.

There is no rhyme nor reason for importing the results of their madness.

New York on course for a complete shutdown and 'remain in place' policy sooner rather than later according to the city mayor.

Maybe they will not announce an extension until very close to the date.

Announcing that it will be lifted will result in people being lax in terms of washing hands and maintaining social distancing etc.

I can still see a few groups doing regular things like doing a big clothes shop and going fishing :rolleyes:

All eyes on Italy's numbers today.

The number who have died there has stabilized in the last three days

15/3 368
16/3 349
17/3 345

Let's hope there has been another decrease, even to show a trend that we can pin our hopes on.

That said we are only 9 or 10 days on from the lockdown there so it might be another few days before the numbers start reflecting that.

Nobody knows the answer.

29th March is not going to be lifted. It will be extended I would imagine on a monthly basis. There is a strong feeling that it will go on well into the summer, July perhaps August.

We need to see numbers dropping before they can start talking about anything like that and thats wayyyyy down the line.

We are only starting to see increases and further stronger measures may need to be introduced..

Nearly 10% recovered as well. Hopefully they are seeing the end of the tunnel.

I know lots of emphasis is placed on hand washing, but I can't stress enough that you should invest in a nail brush, rub over the soap and wash through the nails, I can imagine that nails could pick up infection that you can sometimes miss when washing hands.

As an Irish man living over in London I'm getting pretty f**ckin anxious now - and I'm a calm person. Pubs, Tube, Schools still open as usual. Walked past a couple of pubs last night on my way home and they were rammed with people.

I'm still being told to work in our office here in Canary Wharf even though I can easily WFH

The only thing I would worry about Italy is that I would not be surprised if there is another increase in cases, and then deaths after, in the coming week to 10 days, after the mass exodus from Lombardy when they shut that region down.

Kermit.de.frog · 18-03-2020 05:13PM

Some figures so far today

Spain 2086 new cases, 90 deaths
Germany 1980 new cases
South Korea 93 new cases
USA 1,100 new cases, 8 new deaths
Netherland 346 new cases, 15 new deaths

I'm coming to the conclusion that it's a ticking timebomb, it's may be too late to avoid an Italian style crisis, certainly in GB, particularly London (NI maybe isn't as bad, but then we don't know the real numbers up here due to the absurd testing policy).

If the UK follows Italy then we are 10 days out from seeing a major crisis there.

Maybe the slightly younger population will save the UK a bit. But it's all speculation at the minute.
