I see no end to this, no end ....

They look to be coming off an exponential growth rate. It'll take time for numbers to drop but the key point is you wouldn't expect a factor of ten increase. That comes as little solace but it's a positive.

Quite a high figure for Muslims in Ireland. But that's for another day.

I very much doubt the secondary schools will be back until September.

The primary schools might get back in June.

Nobody saying it (officially). I too would not expect schools back until August.

Only inkling of the reality was Arlene Foster saying in a press conference last week that if NI closed schools, they would close for 14 weeks.

How could Italy experience such an increase like that like a week after a complete lockdown? Where are all the infections coming from, how could they still be happening, when almost everyone in Italy is indoors all the time?

It is my projection. They will not be back. People still don't realise how bad this is going to get obviously

Not much use if one doesn't have a smartphone, or is a BOI customer....
But!
Set up Google Pay or Apple Pay and the tap to pay limits arent a problem.

Jesus, it is devastating what is happening in Italy, how on earth is it so bad there yet not so in likes of germany etc? Are figures being downplayed elsewhere?

I don't know if this is true but I've been told that Germany aren't counting their death rate correctly. If someone with cancer catches COVID-19 and dies, their death is being put down as cancer and not COVID-19.

That may not be true but it sounds reasonable.

The health service can't work miracles in Germany so it's unbelievable that they have 27 deaths in total out of 11,302 cases when the USA have had 117 deaths out of 7,730 cases.

Because the symptoms can take up to 14 days to show.

They're only in lockdown 5 days.

As Leo said this is only the start.

leavingirl · 18-03-2020 06:35PM

The teachers want to remain on full pay. That's grand. Let's check in again in 12 months when the 2nd emergency budget is announced and all teachers get a 20% pay cut.

The least ye could do is work for Simon over the next six months.

Well that is wrong. They are closed at least until the 30th of March. Easier to say two weeks and add on later than to say 6 months and need to back track when things go nicer than expected

2016 Census Ireland 78% Catholic, just over 13% Muslim, just under 10% no religion.

Only figures available, anything else is simply based on ad hoc anecdotal gossip in individuals' social circles.

13% Muslim ??? What are you on about?

If someone got infected at start of lockdown it will be 2 weeks before some even realise they have it

nacho libre · 18-03-2020 06:36PM

I fear the UK is heading the same way as Italy- possibly worse. Thanks to the idiotic strategy of their Government, up until the recent u-turn, London is likely going to see a steep rise in confirmed cases in the days ahead because of their bungling.
What good is our strategy really, if travel between Ireland and the UK is not now severly curtailed?

Widespread infection and a health service that is completely overwhelmed and unable to cope with the numbers.

Many of the deaths are happening because the Italian health service cannot treat them properly (or at all)......a disaster.

wakka12 · 18-03-2020 06:37PM

The number of cases in Europe has now far surpassed China, by several thousand. At least 85,000 cases in Europe now
