    Trying to get my head around this emergency payment of 203 through payroll. Looking up welfare I would be entitled to 203 + 72 (2x qualifying children) + 134.70 qualifying adult, spouse Total 409.70 per week. So should I just go straight to welfare and bypass the employer payment. I guess I could be waiting for a few weeks if I go through welfare.

    You get the €203 from your employer the rest from the social I believe

    We're 3-4 weeks behind Italy in terms of spread.

    Let's hope the actions already taken have the desired effect and slow it down. That said, today's figure of 366 cases will rise to 15,000 or so by months end. It's currently doubling every 3 days give or take. If that date can be slowed considerably, fewer cases will become infected early on, and therefore fewer people will need ICU care. That's why people most at risk MUST go into lockdown.

    100 extra ventilators to be delivered every week. However, ventilators alone of limited value if we don't have the experienced staff to operate them. That's going to be the biggest scarce resource.

    Stay the **** HOME!!!


    We don't know the death rate so the confirmed cases mean nothing really. It's amount in ICU and deaths.

    We could have 15,000 but the death rate may be 0.3%. That wouldn't see the health system swamped.

    We just need to wait and see, confirmed cases mean very little at this stage.

    Around town was surreal today, people wearing face masks, queues outside the chemist, all standing spread out, shops low on food and having people keep distance from each other at tills, it's a strange time we are living in

    Quiet about town this morning but shops had plenty of stock and were actually quiet. We got our weekly shop done in no time. People can't bulk/panic buy every day of every week.
    People, generally, were keeping their distance and a few smaller shops were restricted to two customers at a time, but we didn't have to cue at all.

    Yes 84 of the first 271 needed hospitalization

    At least four if not 5 recovered, and 2 died with 6 in Icu so taking those away 72 still in hospital?

    The other shoe has finally dropped.

    Two thirds of cases are younger than 55, with almost one in four people with the virus aged between 35 and 44.
    Irish Examiner - this evening.

    This is NOT restricted to over 65s.

    But in one way isn't this a good thing that unless any of them have an underlying condition then they will recover

    2,700 new cases so far today in the US and 41 new deaths.

    I strongly this will bring down Trump eventually (I mean politically)

    2960 in Germany. Will this bring Merkel down too? Especially since the German population is a quarter of the Us population yet they have more cases . Also cases per 1 million of population mean Ireland has far more than the Us. Leo is already gone but would this have brought him down?

    Finally Europe has double the population of the Us. The US has 9000 cases while Europe has over 74.000. Will this be the end of Europe?

    It the high dead rate that's over 65, not cases in general.

    No one ever said it was - the point being made repeatedly was the increased proportion of over 65s requiring hospitalisation or intensive care - and the resultant fatality rate.

    The fact that most cases are under 65 is good news from a case survival point of view.

    it never was, the fatalities are mostly over 65 or with a previous condition

    Alright figured out the maths, here's a real time spreadsheet that I will update each night with new cases and future predictions of 30%. Shows percentage increase/decrease as well as totals.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IMavHMFAT59NaRmSJxfHIVxAhiT46CmzL0tj0Esqalc/edit?usp=sharing

    Handy way of keeping track I suppose and understanding the overall picture this month.

    Nobody said it was restricted to the over 65s. It's massively more deadly to over 65s yes but nobody said it was restricted to them.

    Did people actually think only older people got it?

    I think most people know, everyone can get it... but 65+ account for 90% of the deaths

    Nobody ever said it was. the mortality rate is higher in older people. it may be an advantage to have most our cases in the younger cohort,

    10% cases 15-24 age
    18% cases in 25-34
    23% cases in the 35-44 age bracket
