If I was stuck in ICU with this virus, I really don't care who has my information. If it puts the fear into people that someone under 40 with no underlying issues can be critically ill, I'm all for doing anything that helps.

What if it does the opposite? If most people in ICU are 75+ it could embolden young people who are already taking risks.

it is an anomalous post on the internet of course its true.

USA importing test kits I am sure that is true why would they not?

As regards that photo it could be anything.

Why are the case percentages so wrong? It's saying Dublin has 55% of cases but 320 cases out of 785. That's just over 40%. It says Cork has 15% with 88 cases. But that's actually just over 11%. It says Limerick has 3% with 15 cases but that's actually under 2%. It says Galway has 4% with 21 cases but that's actually a little over 2.5%.

What am I missing?

Think the breakdown refers to the 584 total of 19 March (they said they'd only do weekly detailed breakdowns). Webpage misleading though.

Do the public need this info? Is it purely to satisfy your curiosity, or is there a genuine need? Patients still deserve to have their privacy protected insofar as possible.

Yes I'm personally curious and its no harm get the statistics out there.

Having a simple breakdown of age, sex and if they have underlying conditions isn't a breach of privacy get grip FFS

What hope do we have with groups of teenagers and college kids roaming around like nothing is happening, what chance do we have of controlling it if the parents can't even be arsed keeping them at home or explaining the consequences to them.

Parents need to spell out to them that if the economy tanks there will not be jobs for them when they finish their education.

And emigration wont be an option this time as there wont be jobs anywhere else either.

Im all for reducing air pollution and improving health. However this could cause death at biblical levels.

If 60% got infected and there was a mortality rate of just 1% thats 30000 people. In the space of a few months.

It would take many years of clean air to cancel that out.

WHO reckon 4.6 million die from air pollution annually

You'd need another 30000 days solid where there were 1000 deaths recorded in order to reach 30m dead.

That's only 82 thousand years.

I don't agree with the original comment, but I don't agree with your maths either...

Over the last week, worldwide deaths have almost doubled 5833 -> 11387.

The previous week, 3599 -> 5833.

This is about to really kick off soon in the US and UK, nevermind about India, Russia and Africa...

Let's take a conservative (pessimistic) view that deaths will double every week...

In 8 weeks, that is a total of 2,915,072 deaths worldwide.

I'm not that doom and gloom or anything, just pointing the error in how you arrived at 82 thousand years.

The people that read the stats are already doing the right thing. It's the tossers that don't adhere you need to get to and they're barely literate by the looks of things. They definitely don't look at stats anyway

Gael23 · 21-03-2020 08:44PM

102 today but that figure will greatly rise when proper testing is rolled out

21-03-2020 08:44PM

I'm on annual leave all of next week if anyone here is really stuck for a grocery run. I had a few little plans but since most stuff is closed I'll have a bit of unexpected free time. I'd be happy to give someone a dig out if it means relieving a bit of stress if the thoughts of doing a shop is too much. PM me. Based in Dublin 12 but will spin out further no problem.

That’s just not true. You are living in a different Dublin

I guess it also might depend on the neighborhood.

We need to see numbers drop for a week or more before I'll start getting excited. And even then social separation is the new norm. We might get lucky and be able to keep it in check here. but while the rest of the world has it there can be no going back to normal. A vaccine is the only way I see this going away.

Just to be clear here
There is a mis conception that when a successful vaccine is developed this virus will "go away"
Sadly NOT
We have a seasonal 'flu vaccine but it doesn't go away
The number of cases and deaths will be dramatically reduced but sadly it won't go away
There are strong possibilities that it could mutate and lose it's potency which obviously will be very good news

The county break down is running 2 days behind so those figures are from thurs.

Why are accounts like this allowed to exist? Contributes nothing substantial to the topic being discussed. Just drops in with a nonsensical one liner. Troll accounts like this should be shut down. All they are doing is throwing petrol in to the fire.

I just see the numbers in Italy dying daily increasing and because I made a comment that the half the country could be wiped out, I'm trolling, let's get real an awful lot of Italians are dying, it is heartbreaking what is happening over there and now looks like Spain, US and UK death toll is also rising, is it wrong to talk about the deaths, if so I apologise

I really doubt they are dead bodies, now of course I don't know for sure but apparently they are people sleeping outside because they got kicked out of their apartments as they were suspected of having the virus.

One of the reasons I doubt these are bodies because china can build a hospital for 7,000 people in a few days, so surely they could built a basic building to store the bodies in less than a day.

No, at the time the video came out the hospital wasn't built.

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

Just as a matter of interest with someone like your brother, has his symptoms got worse since then or is he feeling better?

Thats kind of you to ask. Next week Boards is going to start orchestrating on a bigger scale these kinds of requests and offers. Please keep eyes open for it and I'm sure many will need something like this.

trumptheman · 21-03-2020 08:47PM

The amount of fake news, BS, people thinking they are experts coming up with their own statistics and scare mongering in this thread is ten times worse than Facebook or whats going around on Whatsapp.

Pity a technical thread couldn't be setup but people probably just go their with their false information.

Its brutal to be honest. Boards.ie just making people more anxious.

Stick to real news sources.

How many people in Ireland will have to die before the the government quarantine those arriving in from affected areas?

785 cases in Ireland... How is this possible? We were letting in plane loads of people from Italy? There should be more. Or are symptoms really that mild in most of us?

Remember that these numbers are a week or two behind. This is why I don't read the papers, it's old information.

Liz, even with the crazy fatality rate in Italy, the death rate is "only" 7%. Nowhere near 50% of Italy will die. The absolute worst case scenario, an utter nightmare, would be about 7%.

And that's presuming they aren't just massively undertesting, and the fatality rate isn't round 1-2% like in countries that are mass testing. And presuming that it's 100% infection rate, which even the worst case scenarios haven't been predicting.

And remember 23% of said population are 65+ before health conditions taken into account. While I don't go for "the elderly are the ones getting it" you have a lot there who could have passed easily form a bad dose of flu, bronchitis etc

What I'm saying is probably have a car large group in the easily susceptible cat, so at 7% death rate from infection you have to take that along with the many unfortunate say 80+ year olds that are refused a ventilator due to the shortage

Ok I was maybe exaggerating speculation but their death rate daily is astonishing, heartbreaking

Numbers down today for second day in a row, we are a generally compliant lot when it comes to following orders.
Is there a trend emerging that countries never conquered are faring worst?

I'm actually beginning to think that Italians are somehow more susceptible to this virus. Nothing seems to be containing it over there.

briany · 21-03-2020 08:50PM

Until a vaccine is found, how can life on the island return to normal? We certainly can't have flights all over the place, but having flight restrictions to northern Italy is probably something we can live with. However, in addition to that, given the apparent contagious nature of this illness, can we go back to public transport, schooling and social lives as they were? It would only take a few cases either undiagnosed or coming in from elsewhere to start a new cluster of contagion from which the crisis would start anew.
