    Ask the Italians if their numbers are meaningless.

    People are suggesting that there's a hundred thousand undiagnosed cases across Italy. If that is so the number of new cases diagnosed is meaningless.

    The important numbers in Italy are the numbers of deaths and the number of critical cases.

    No mention of that on the news at all.

    Please go and lie in it.

    Pascal Donoghue was literally on RTE news now saying it before the HSE update.

    Seriously calm down.

    to be honest we aren't doing nearly enough. we are nowhere near the lockdown of other countries. we closed pubs and schools, and gently encouraged people on social distancing. i'm not sure why we seem to be patting ourselves on the back. we are nowhere near what they are doing in spain, france and italy for example.

    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.

    Not quite true.

    Testing is now ongoing in Cork, Galway, James, Mater, and I think Galway and others. It will be up and running within 5 days in SVUH, Rotunda and a few more I can't remember exactly. I can try and root out the presentation, this is data from a meeting this evening. The NVRL will focus on community testing then.

    The NVRL testing procedure has been streamlined also and they can now run more tests on the one assay increasing daily capacity.

    We are ramping up testing very impressively. Fair play to the NVRL and the scientists.

    Go on Ireland. We’re doing really well. It’s there for the taking now. 6 weeks from now we should be back up and running I’d say.

    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.

    How the **** was it scaremongering? This crisis is only starting to get really serious. Wait another few weeks and see what the figures are like then.

    So Tony Holohan was asked about a third person dying, he said they had not been notified about this

    He didn't just pick a random number. It was based on clear modelling of approx 30% daily increase in numbers. I'd say if Leo cured cancer and brought about world peace there'd still be people who wouldn't be happy.

    Do you know this because you're involved in the testing yourself? Or are you just talking complete shïte? I'll assume it's the latter.

    Not +25% today. +5/69 = +7% (% increase in new cases is what the projections are all about).

    No, it's based on a % of total cases. So far we have averaged about 45% a day since the start

    I'd cut Merkel slack. Regardless of culpability WW2 was an unimaginable catastrophe for German people. Relatively innocent Germans suffered in bombings like Dresden. 2 million women estimated raped by the Red army.

    I'm sure that has left some mark on the German psyche, just 75 years ago. Merkel is probably right, worse crisis since the Berlin airlift of 1948 surely.

    And yet our numbers are way lower. Why shouldn't we pat ourselves on the back?

    He didn't say that. In cases of rent to buy a landlord can apply for a reprieve and he hopes they will pass that relief on to tenants. High hopes I'd say.

    Looking from outside they've done all that after the thing has escalated
