Population has no influence on spread. Density yes, but per capita comparisons mean nothing.

It may not have any influence on spreads but fact remains 15000 would still mean we have the most per population .
Our density is nothing like some other countries so I find 15000 hard to believe

RTE News Now - Insurers won't honour 'business interruption' cover, Allianz and FBD.

Need government clarification and action immediately, or good work of last week at risk.

That's it I support then bringing in a proper lockdown only solution here people will never learn here imo

I hope it does not get to lockdown scenario as its a worse case option. However, a part of me would like to ses what it brings in terms of compliance. Certain people have major problems being told they can't do x or y and others will take advantage and deliberately look for an engagement with AGS. My fear would be a repeat of the looting and arson in Tallaght.

With the new laws, i would hope people causing trouble could be rounded up and shipped off to somewhere where their liberty is curtailed. The kind i am specifically thinking of are the tearaway types that frequently cause trouble cld cyclists and others on the canal around Bluebell.

Hard core stuff. I wonder how much of a copy and paste our lads will do from that or vice versa based on the similarities of the legal system. (I've no idea what the Irish government has proposed so apologies)

That is a great piece of work. Thank you. You might want to look at the numbers for UK for today though. I think you have added the Swiss numbers there.

Apart from the issue of distancing, what is people's issue with people bringing kids to the park.

There's no lockdown at present and people have not been instructed not to bring kids to the park.

There's seems to be an irrational fear of kids since this has developed.

Completely stupid comment to make. I don't know what peoples obsession is with guessing the numbers before they're released. We'll get the figure when it's released.

Moronic comments like yours helps no one.

This good weather today clearly not helping. Same round galway city just like other posters said. Awful lot of kids/teenagers round in groups. And a lot of older people round

I think someone said the magic number to look out for with todays figure is 110 - which is about 30% of the existing overall number.

But we all know the real untested number is significant. So 110 tested cases possibly means a couple hundred cases in reality.

We may hit 15,000 confirmed cases by month end, but the reality could be much higher.

If it's 91 today, that would be a 25% increase, turning yesterday's slowdown into a trend.

No, as other countires cases will also have increased.

I' d guess UK will be the next hotspot when the numbers start getting revealed.

Zero issue with kids...but they are meeting up with parents and massive groups ..running about mad to people they don't know also

I had to go get food for my dog, the town is almost like at Christmas. Costa is packed, everyone in groups chatting, groups of children and teens everywhere. It makes it so much harder that were trying hard to do everything we can, not seeing our families, working from home, only leaving when necessary and theres so many idiots that are prolonging the whole thing.

That's really good news. It does seem to be very effective. Hopefully theres enough of it!

not sure about Hydroxychloroquine. seems to be a a milder version of chloroquine. but chloroquine is a drug to treat malaria and available all over the world and is also dirt cheap to produce and buy.

At the moment, it all depends how other countries go.

I don't see it reaching 15,000, its the worst case scenario. Whatever the confirmed number, the real number is likely much higher.

Yes. People have posted saying they have it, but wont be getting tested. Bizarre choice if you ask me as if their synptoms get worse, they wont be on the radar. The projections will build in no confirmation cases, but better for planning iniatives when based on the largest sample of confirmed and negative cases.

Why the hell does it matter a damn to us if German figures are believable or not to some here, or even in reality.

If you're going to spread such 'concerns' it is only reasonable to expect some attempt to indicate why it should bother us.

If your determined to worry about something, worry about the lack of sunset clausing in the legislation currently going through the Dáil.

If you go back to Thread 1 or even as recent as VI you'd see we've come a long way from panic and a what is this question every second post. I find it amusing to see the passion with which people are debating it!

Was in work today, work in retail, and I'm shocked at the lack of self control people have towards social distancing. People chatting in groups, kids running around, nobody abiding to the 2m rule, customers constantly up in my face looking for stuff.

Did people just forget about Covid-19 all of a sudden?

It's time for supermarkets to limit the amount of customers entering, for their own sake but also for our sake, the staff.

The U.K. are screwed - herd immunity was never a viable option, 250k attending Cheltenham should never have happened. They will reap what they have sown.

That does sound very promising. If it works out, I promise just to smile and not get annoyed when Trump claims all the credit.

"When I was calling it a pandemic before anyone else, I said that Hydroxychloroquine would cure it" :rolleyes:
