    Rubbish to you're first sentence.

    I have seen the reports from inside the Italian hospitals it is scary I do not feel safe and I do not trust those numbers.

    I don't think anybody is trying to mislead us but the testing seems to be backlogged.

    If the numbers are high, I don’t see people complaining that they’re not right.
    It’s just really odd behaviour in here.

    It doesn’t matter if there is a backlog.

    We get 1 set of figures each day. And it’s gone down considerably 2 days in a row. If the trend was to continue over the next few days, that will be wonderful news.

    The tests would have been taken yesterday or day before..

    Yes but labs here are not a full capacity over a weekend to authorise all the results. Hopefully it is a downward daily trend but I would wait until Tuesday/Wednesday to see how the daily numbers are.

    Do you know that for sure, as I know the virus reference lab has reduced staff at the weekend and it's the only place testing the samples.

    They aren't reducing staff at the weekend. The head of the lab was on rte the other night saying they were working at full staffing 24/7. And yes I know someone who can confirm same

    This is why I hate the Liberal and PC mindset this generation has no values.

    Taking the samples and performing the tests are two different things. When the news mentions all the new test centres opening those centres only take the samples and then send them to the VRL to get tested. Then numbers reported today would have been the samples that tested positive today, but you're correct those samples would have been taken a number of days ago.

    He didn't just put it out, he was quoting a number he was given by the people who did the modelling.

    There is more than one lab and Saturday is not the same as a normal day.

    Stop defending their disgusting practices.

    It's not racist to state facts.

    Yes, it is a lot of people. No one is defending the actions of those involved. To completely tar an entire populace on this premise is absolutely flawed and is the type of rhetoric that leads to hate crimes.

    My sister in law and nieces are Chinese living in the UK. They've never been to a market like this in their lives nor would they have any interest. My sister in law knows they exist but wouldn't know where to find one.

    They've been verbally abused and spat at because they're Asian and clearly all Asians are responsible for the the actions of a tiny percentage.

    Was trying to look up the first case in Italy and saw this interesting little bit
    Before the first case was reported, there was an unusually high number of pneumonia cases recorded at a hospital in Codogno in northern Italy, the head of the emergency ward Stefano Paglia told the newspaper La Repubblica, suggesting it is possible patients with the virus were treated as if they had a seasonal flu. Health facilities hosting these patients could have become sites for infection, helping proliferate the spread of the virus.

    That was some leaky barrel if true

    Does the lower number not just tie into them running out of tests a few days ago
    No.

    Regardless of running low on swabs for the public, the laboratories are still inundated with tests to get through. A service that is running 24/7.

    EU has no power to lock a country, that's a national competence.

    But the EU is in charge of overall strategy. It has the power to call for emergency meetings and generally bang heads together.

    It is indeed, would be considered a relatively low number at this stage (ditto with fatalities).

    Am I the only one who thinks just hitting 10k tested in Ireland now is appalling? After what,8 weeks?

    No, it takes a while to get additional testing facilities up and running. People would be complaining if they weren’t accurate due to being rushed into operation.

    It seems very odd with more testing that numbers are going down. I would wait until Tuesday/Wednesday and see what numbers are like then.

    You said this was a fetish for some people.

    This is not fun for anybody everything is shut 250'000 people out of work going into work is risky and even then our jobs may be at risk.

    I would love for this thing to be beaten.

    Two days results is far from enough to base anything on I am looking at Italy Iran and Spain.

    Yes it matters when the tests were done. People tested last week, got infected two weeks before that. So spreading in that two week period.
    thats BS how would you know when they did get infected ? if each case is treated that if person is positive and that they might gotten it recently then thats massive bollocks, as most tested would have to fall under recovering if it doesnt complicate, yet none of stats project that.

    My brother is waiting since last Saturday for a test, he’s finally getting one on Monday...we are at least a week behind (on average) with these figures

    There is a bottleneck in terms of available testing which is being alleviated now with a massive ramping up in the number of testing facilities.

    However there is a serious issue with our capacity to actually analyze the tests. Educational labs are being brought on board to help increase capacity, but there is a real possibility that there is a 'ceiling' to our capacity at the moment. There is not only a fairly large backlog of people awaiting testing, but also people awaiting their results. It's taking up to a week for some people. Keep in mind some tests are being prioritized for healthcare workers and other front line emergency service staff.

    Is there still a lot waiting on tests, surely with more test centres and kits, the waiting time would reduce greatly to 24 to 48 hours

    Again utter crap, every day is a normal day during this.

    The suggestion that they are reducing staffing levels is bonkers. Again I know someone invovled in the labs. They literally work a shift go home sleep and go back in again, that's every day. Nobody is reducing at the weekend

    For those saying 102 is good that it's a drop, it's possible less samples were tested today as it's a weekend.

    Do you think today’s tested are getting their results today 🙈🙈
