    It's still possible, he based it on average 30% day on day increase, yesterday was above at 30.9%, today is below at 25% - there will be fluctuations.

    Today it’s very low...

    5 up on 69 is under 8 percent, no?

    How could this be if people are on trains and buses and walking around in groups?

    Perhaps they are all off taking scenic drives in the countryside. :D:p

    And we have yet to see the inpact of the measures in place the last week. This is encouraging kudos to the HSE

    But time for maximum vigilance now. No let up at all in the social distancing.....keep contact down to a bare minimum and all the hygiene measures in place

    Cheltenham and Spain holiday returners say hello.

    You do realise that not everybody in Spain and Cheltenham have the virus?

    The whole point of his speech is that we as a country are doing everything to stop it getting to 15,000 : he wants it to be well under that

    Fair play to him for picking such a high number because he is going to come in way, way lower that. Thank God.

    His address to the nation yesterday was, as i posted yesterday, scaremongering.

    Daily numbers are just that. Plus 25% today, under the 30%. Yesterday 30%. Tomorrow could be 35%.

    Italy was to have flattened after 3days plateau. Then high surge today.

    74 is a good number, seems like we might have caught this before the worst of it caught hold . Numbers will go up but hopefully they will stay Bon the low side .
    Anyone know how we compare to what Italy’s figures were like at this stage .

    it does seem encouraging but let's not count the chickens before they hatch.

    I went for a long walk this evening and there were other people out and given there aren't as many cars on the roads either I or the people walking towards me made moved out of the way even if there was space to pass each other. It was good to see.

    Rubbish. He laid out the salient facts in as anodyne way as possible. It was the complete opposite to scaremongering. If you think that was scaremongering, then you must have been living in a cave for the past three months.

    Ask the Italians if their numbers are meaningless.

    We could be 2 days behind here with results.

    There is insufficient testing and diagnosis going on.

    An additional 30,000 test kits are due to enter the system in the next couple of days, but whether the NRV lab can keep up is another matter, it may require the repurposing of pathology and agri science labs to keep up.

    In other words, I believe that level of 60/70 is the ceiling of daily diagnosis and when capacity increases we will see numbers jump up.

    The NVRL have blown past the 60 test limit.
    They have had days of over 660 tests and are a model of how to ramp output.

    The other regional labs are coming on line now too.

    The NVRL and the team there really are a model of process excellence that I hope can be emulated across our HSE in the days to come.

    What are you modelling on ?

    The 30% a day, going to 15,000 by the end of the month. It's the only official Irish figures that I've heard of. Do you know a better model?

    A high number would have kept people on here busy for the night posting.

    Now they have nothing to do.
