I don't think the purpose is to inform us of the death rate, rather guidance, alerts etc.

Clowns. And the way it's reported as if it's a bit of merriment in response to the big bad government orders

I have all of these slowly come on. Bad today but only a cough is one of the symptoms of Covid19 so I shouldn't be worrying right?

Ring your GP or after hours service. Don't get medical advice from non medical professionals.

Look out for one, some or all of the main symptoms:

a cough - this can be any kind of cough, not just dry
shortness of breath
breathing difficulties
fever (high temperature - 38 degrees Celsius or above) or chills

Other symptoms are fatigue, headaches, sore throat, aches and pains.

Don't take medical advice from the internet.

Same page says:

If you develop symptoms you will need to self-isolate and phone your GP. Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. The GP will assess you over the phone. If they think you need to be tested for coronavirus, they will arrange a test.

False premise. Advice not to take medical advice from the internet is not in itself medical advice. No contradiction or paradox here. Must try harder.

People showing symptoms are already waiting days for results. Throw in another 100k getting tests for the sake of it and be waiting months.

There is that, seems to be alot of people in this country who even with just a cough are running to a doctor looking for a test. Its perfectly possible to still have a normal head cold.

We emptied out the A&Es because of covid but now the same people are filling up the GPs days

A Netherlands blood bank is going to screen a large number of samples for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 to answer the question of how many people have actually been infected.
They're planning to repeat this over the coming weeks to see how the rate changes.

This matters because it will help reveal whether or not the disease is more widespread than the current stats show, and consequently less likely to lead to severe or fatal outcomes.
Testing in many countries is skewed towards people in hospitals, and so may not be giving us the full picture of the disease.

YOU SHOULD RING YOUR GP.
They are the trained medical profession who can evaluate your symptoms, not 'someone on the internet'

Same as me. Like a bunged up feeling (felt more like a headcold) with a sickly stomach. I put it down to all the sugar I've been eating

And at the same time focusing on other "pandemics" no one gives a fukc about, plus it creates a bit of perspective.

And I agree a bit of a thinner spread can help in loosing weight ... good point

Germany’s economy was already screwed before this crises so I wouldn’t bet on it.

It wont be ideal to say the very least. The world was already highly indebted and US/EU were printing money for years to stoke the economy after 2008 (
quantitative easing). The options will be limited and who know's what the impact will be on the globalised economy. Our problem is that the national debt spiralled after 2008 so we are somewhat limited to what we can do. After 2008 we borrowed to keep to the largely wasteful show (public services and welfare) on the road and we also accepted private banking debt as national debt (60bn I think - history will show what a disaster that was). We will need to reduce government spending significantly when all this is over. We failed to reduce spending quickly enough after 2008 so it remains to be seen if the next government will take a tougher approach. We also failed to reduce the massive waste. The tax revenues just wont be there for quite a while (years) so there will be sacrifices to be made. The IMF and ECB will have their hands full too so little old Ireland might get neglected.

Too early for a 'We all partied'?

Interesting article from 2019
