That test could be used on my asthmatic Neighbour who’s been waiting since Wednesday. Her doctor said she probably has it.

I doubt its an actual test kit. just a demonstration of how they take the swabs

I think they said 255 ICU beds here....but im not sure what capacity it usually runs at....but cant imagine there is 50 spare beds either

That was before the mass mobilisation : they're aiming to make more than double this available if the worst comes to the worst

I'm talking about the boat where everyone is accounted for and South Korea which tested a huge segment of it's population including many asymptomatic people, both are around 1%. The virus very likely has a mortality rate of 1% based on those two samples

Yes but while some lab tests show one result other tests in real world or just other labs can show something very different.
There are too many variables to be taken into account that everything at this point is just speculation.

I’m actually totally wrong , he doesn’t live in my estate. The reason I thought he did was a good few years ago he drove the same car as my dad and I got into his car by my house thinking it was my dads ( it wasn’t locked). Simon walked towards the car the same time as my dad both laughing and I’ve never got over the shame, anyway Simon lives on a farm.

In saying that he would have to drive passed these teens to get out of his house.

Fair play for correcting yourself. But I knew Simon didn't live in an housing estate , rather an estate.

12 in ICU is a doubling from yesterday right?

How many of these does it take to put the system under pressure?

Anyone know?

Could we couple with a couple of hundred?

It would depend how many people are in ICU for non Co-vid health issues too. But I know we have 255 ICU beds in the country. And 51 additional ones approved. A study a decade ago recommend we have 500 ICU beds.

So let’s say, we have 301 ICU beds. It would depend how many are vacant for Co-Vid 19 patients because there’s always going to be people with other life threatening conditions needing a end.
I think anywhere between 5-10% would need ICU treatment.

Its 12 from the start that have needed ICU, it was stable at 6 for the last while so it isnt steadily growing which is good.

There isn't any confirmation if 12 are currently in ICU

The situation with ICU beds spirals quickly with this which is a huge part of the problems. In the Netherlands, for example, the number doubled in last 3 days.

Were there any new recoveries announced today? I haven't seen anything official... would appreciate a link if so thanks.

Someone put up figures there saying 0.7% recoveries which seems a low % given the early diagnosis should be nearing recovery now. However, as the confirmed cases are adding more daily, a % is kinda meaningless. Deaths at 3 are running at. 0.41% so 0.7% recovered is just 5. Happy to be wrong here

Not for a very very long time.

Prehaps when an effective vaccine has been approved or when the powers that be decide the economic devastation is no longer worth the death rate.

They are far too complicated to put on your face without contaminating yourself so don’t bother trying.

Also if you see someone wearing one you should say “what’s your problem, are you a doctor or something?”

It's pretty simple, sanitise hands before putting on mask, sanitise before and after taking off mask (without touching outside and dispose of properly). School children in Asia (where masks are mandatory) can do it, so can you!

Please don't jeer or make rude comments at people wearing masks. They may look young and healthy to you, but may well suffer from chronic illness like MS (and taking meds that cause them to be immuno-compromised) or are recovering from cancer/chemo or is a carer for an ill person or just suffer anxiety and feel safer if they use a mask! It's a free world.

Over 5000 cases in the US again today, it will likely overtake Iran, Spain and Germany in number of cases tomorrow as No.3 in the world.

And if that person can also give me the lotto numbers too, preferably euro millions but will settle with the Irish one.

Very difficult to estimate but I've heard mentions of some time in June when restrictions 'could' start to be lifted (but this is highly provisional of course)

Excuse my ignorance but saw the video in Italy today - very serious situation and people of all ages hit with it. Do they have a different strain of it? Reason I ask eg: Dr Ciara Kelly did not require hospital treatment?

Maybe many had only stayed for a night or two, people get on and leave at many different stops throughout the cruise journey. Not everyone was on it for weeks . Anyway, what is your point? Everyone on the ship was tested, they got their figures by testing everyone so I dont see how else it could depend how the figures were gotten.

Anyway, it was about 745 tested positive, and it was 3700 on the ship.

There was a lot of variance of behaviour on the ship not to mention the variance in the environment. Some people were confined to cabins with or with balconies, there were probably 10 decks etc.. Some didn't dine with the others. There's a whole host of variables. I believe that it should be studied very closely but I don't think any conclusions can be made as of yet.

Only around 1 in 5 people who contract would requite medical treatment. Even though a lot of people are dying in Italy there are many more experiencing a much milder form of illness.

Talking to a mate of mine and he was telling me his 20 year old son has just gone out for the evening to be with his mates. My mate is livid of course but there's not a lot he can do.

It does seem that younger people are just not taking this serious and I'm not sure what can be done to stop it.
