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

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

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

Probability more than possibility I'd say, unfortunately

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

Surely if you are out and about with someone you live with already then the social distancing does not come into play there. It's when you come upon other people that you would not otherwise have met. Why would you stay 2M away from someone because you are outdoors with them, if you share living accommodation?

So, OH and I are isolating at the moment. We don't social distance because we are living together but anyone outside of that we do...

Think that's right. Here's a dashboard from Robert kock institute (federal body responsible). You don't need to be German to figure it out.

While detailed at a geographic level they do not appear to be collecting/sharing that info at the moment.

Another 40 deaths in the UK in the last 24, up to 184. That's the same number as the previous 24 hours so at least the daily number hasn't increased.

I think we are all nervously awaiting Italy's update at 5pm.

If it's not people will be convinced that social distancing is working and we're out of the woods.... I know, I know..

We need shockingly high numbers to fully ram the magnitude of this into the national psyche.

Yes.

And we are well on track for 15,000 confirmed cases by month end. The real number will probably be a multiple of that.

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

Seen as we're testing more I'd say higher. Cases is not the issue, because even if its 500 theres multiples of that that haven't been found or tested.

ICU patients and deaths is where its at.

We wont get the same huge drop countries like South korea got as most irish people are still working, many are using public transport, particularly young people a large number are still socialising and will spread to some families who will then all get infected, many places of leisure like cafes and resturants are still open and plenty still use them. The exponetial growth will definitely stop with all the hand washing and school closures and pubs and large gatherings gone but Ireland will maintain a high level of growth for a very long time.

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

Without question..

If we get to the 15k/day testing level , given that so far we have seen a roughly 3% positive test rate then that's ~450/day new cases.

BUT - The key figures are the number of people hospitalised etc.

Having thousands of people with confirmed infection is not altogether terrible if we can keep control over the hospitalisation rates.

Some good info here on the details behind the numbers.

And , encouragingly it would seem that we have already doubled the number of ICU beds in the country over the last few days/weeks

It is encouraging that just six patients, or 2 per cent, have required intensive care so far. Translating this figure on to the forecast of 15,000 cases would mean a requirement for 300 intensive care beds by the end of the month.

At the start of this year, Ireland had about 250 such beds; we have about double this number by now as a result of measures taken to tackle the pandemic. That still leaves a shortfall, but not one that couldn’t be bridged with some more supplies and imaginative thinking – and more staff.

Wonder is wuhan back to normal yet. as in people going to shops etc.
