    15000 would be the highest per capita In the world ,

    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.

    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.

    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.

    UK Coronavirus bill is extensive.

    this is just the summary version;

    https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/58-01/0122/en/20122en.pdf

    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)

    Let’s see how those parents react when there is involuntary quarantine of anyone found in groups, careless ***** are a danger to all of us. Keep your ****ing kids indoors or at a distance from others outside.

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,806 ✭✭✭An Ciarraioch


    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.

    What does that even mean, sounds like it basically covers everything?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    So many people living on top of each other
