If COVID-19 was around in the winter, why weren't our hospitals full like the Italian hospitals are now? Utter bullsh1t that what people had in the middle of winter was COVID-19.

I've heard a few people claiming it's been here since November. If that was the case why did it stick to the one province in China (in the early days certainly). There has been a very clear spread from the initial epicentre in Wuhan, and the way it has, almost literally, gripped the whole world

There is no way this could have been missed or indeed covered up. If people were dying or in poor health earlier in the winter, particularly the aged, that may be down to the "regular" flu-type bugs going round

23% increase

Kerrydude1981 · 20-03-2020 06:53PM

At what stage will they lockdown the place? Are they waiting until we reach 1k cases

iwillyeah1234 · 20-03-2020 06:53PM

to be honest, these schemes in the UK are way too bureaucratic - they need to implement a universal basic income model. No means test.

The gender imbalance is striking, anyone know why?

Italian numbers in detail.

The UK paying 80% of monthly wages up to £2.5k for those workers impacted is unreal. Makes our €203 a week (€880 a month) seem miniscule in comparison.

How can they afford it?

Scary for Uk

Dublin has 200 plus of the total?

Lock down Cork and Limerick too. How can they knowingly ask us to self isolate, when they won't isolate every other county from the epicentre .

there are 27 clusters around the country ,clusters are key , also more health care workers in Dublin to that throws the dub numbers off

12 in icu

Low enough numbers in ICU so, manageable for the teams. I'd say a surge in ICU during the next few days but 12 in ICU is a good figure

Less than expected. Some people can't bear anything but bad news.

The virus wasnt given lessons on gender equality? Or pot luck?

Still unknown, I’m sure. But I’m sure they’ll figure it out!

That's a lot better than yesterday.

Is there a pattern where it rises, following day it rises again, next day dips below that point and then you have a large increase the following day?

When testing you are always going to hit clusters of positive cases bumping up the numbers - its the spread over days you need to look at

To be fair the same could be really said for the whole of the EU.

There isn't a single country in Europe yet to cover themselves in glory in relation to this. If there wasn't the example of Italy for all to see, the other countries would still be doing very little.

Bullshít (to be fair) the Brits deserve special criticism for their herd immunity nonsense. They've only closed schools today

What does it mean when Tony says some are hospitalised for public health reasons rather than clinical reasons?

At least its not +3/400

Lord TSC · 20-03-2020 06:55PM

At this point, I'm way more interested in the fact we jumped from 6 to 12 people in ICU. We're increasing testing numbers day by day, so I'd expecting that number to jump massively each day regardless.

Exactly what I said, government doing nothing as usual. My employer is trying to apply for a loan, being moved from one department to another, with excuses that the scheme hasn’t been implemented yet. Meanwhile, we are being made redundant, asked to take unpaid leave or put on short working week.

There was only 7 in ICU yesterday, so it has almost doubled

Ah that's a bit of a stretch isn't it?

€ 205 per week and three month moratorium added on at the end is an insult , our economy will collapse.

Presumably there was a backlog of tests from Patrick's Day yesterday, explaining today's "decline"?

They said they will not expect 30% a day, some days will be higher and some lower.

Tippex · 20-03-2020 06:56PM

Why do they give the numbers in the HSE briefing from other countries (especially when they are clearly out of date)

That number has doubled in the space of 2 days. It's not good news
