    Is more than 191 increase today a real possibility?

    WTF is virus bacteria?


    It's stuff that leaks out of your arse when you're being a pedantic Paddy.

    They clearly feel they can implement social distancing and it's not hard given the size of a track. Its literally jockeys and trainer that's it, along with starter and a handful of officials

    Jockeys aren't even in the same dressing room as each other.

    I think this is the mentality as to why it'll spread. Who do we know who the jockeys were in contact with? Who were the trainers or the officials in contact with? The fact is that it's unnecessary therefore should be stopped.

    Is it published somewhere what time the HSE daily press conference and daily numbers are released? Seems to be a random time everyday & wondering how to find out. Thanks

    Almost certainly. Hopefully not tough!

    Very real. I wouldn't be surprised if its over 300.

    I want to not go out every day in the city center, but the shoeboxes apartments in Ireland are not built for long-term living. If you stay a full day inside you are pretty much exactly in a jail cell. I know that "nobody likes to be cooped up" but there is a major difference between at least being to walk a few feet from one room to the next.

    Has the government or anyone thought of anything concerning this topic? I don't know what the solution is, but clearly it is a heck of a lot tougher for us in the city center shoeboxes.

    I'd be very surprised if we are not in the mid-high 200 range today,maybe even higher.

    Here's the current official advice

    That could be clearer. What are groups exactly? Family groups (yes presumably), groups of friends who meet for a walk (no I would think), random people who don't know each other (no) ...

    Are individuals within a group supposed to stay 2 metres apart or not?

    There's no room for ambiguity here if they expect people to heed their advice.

    Probability more than possibility I'd say, unfortunately

    Fair point. I would take an 'other' to mean someone that you are not living with.

    That the English CMO and Chief Scientific Officer who proffered that herd immunity advice, and based it upon wrong/flawed research and interpretation really need to be held to some form of account.

    Be it just a token sacking, rather than pitchforks... ;)
    They have cost lives already.

    This is an excellent point. Boris has a education in classics I believe. WTF would he know about medicine

    Think it pops up on Twitter/RTE Feed. Fergal Bowers is usually a good source. Assume it's 6 p.m unless you hear something different.

    Germany must not publish how many are in a serious/critical conditions. Over a dozen have died over the last 48 hours but still says 2 in serious condition for several days now, despite many thousands of new cases

    It would be nice for the remaining banks to implement Apple Pay
    .

    Set up a Revolut or similar account , then use that via Apple Pay/Google Pay.

    Means shifting money over to the new account , but not a huge issue in the short term

    They did say it could vary but to expect it in 30%-40% increase each day.

    Almost certainly it will be much much higher. Apart from the virus spreading we've massively increased testing.

    It's exponential.
    If you have family in Roscommon or some other remote place with no trains or roads then now is the best time to visit them.

    The horses just run by themselves i suppose.. No jockey, trainers and owners..

    It's unnecessary. Every other sport is shut down. But theses money hungry so and sos.

    Unbelievable that horse racing is still going on. Suspected cases are already coming through from Cheltenham and many of the same people would have been over there. Jessica Harrington is in self isolation. Every other industry has been responsible except for these gobsh1tes.

    save the trouble and jazz it up


    I went for a walk earlier, and the amount of fcuking people going for a walk! Jesus. I had to try avoid so many groups of people (not even just families) and I thought twice about visiting my local park here, it's sorta like 2018 summer where everyone was out and about! :eek:

    FYP,


    unfortunately...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,949 ✭✭✭✭yourdeadwright


    Id expect large numbers for the next week and then for it to start to lessen ,
    There has been in huge amount of tests done in the last 5 days that will start to get results now , So there will be a surge of new confirmed cases but they won't be actually new cases,

    Id imagine by the 29 or 30th we will see the signs of closers and people being careful kicking in to the actually numbers ,,

    Madness, why can't the Government stop it ?

    Because they are useless. They wait until its spread far and wide and then try to claim credit for identifying how far it has spread using testing. By then of course its too late.

    I hope you see the irony of complaining about people being out for a walk because you are out for a walk.
