    The USA just became 3rd in the world in confirmed cases. That was an extremely fast increase.
    Overtaking Spain just now.

    Bad in New York

    Have we enough test kits to send directly to all households, then mail back to nearest lab freepost, could An Post cope or is this a stupid idea :o

    I'm sure the postman would love carrying hundreds of positive tests in the back of his van. What could go wrong

    This has nothing to do with Trump but with a string of presidents dating well back. They will be hit hard as half of americans are obese with underlying health complications from lifetimes of bad diets.

    Huge pop over 330million

    Yes but cases have still grown by over 1000% in the last 7 days which is astounding, it is growing much much faster than cases in European countries are and they are growing fast as well by any measure

    Ireland = (only) 102 new Corona cases . . .

    I wonder is this the turning point? The beginning of a downward trend?
    The next two days figures will be very interesting indeed.

    Maybe we have it on the run!

    But this is not the time for messages about global warming, she probably realises that. Most countries are in partial lockdown and their governments are fighting the virus.

    Personally I think the global crisis boosts her campaign rather than weakens it. She has been warning of a world where society gets turned upside down by forces outside its control....that will surely resonate with many people.

    We don’t need people warning us about global warning, the planet will re balance the equation by getting rid of enough of the sickness that threatens it. Aka humans.

    Hardly. I'd rather be 60 and healthy than 25 with HIV or fighting off TB.

    I mean, yeh. But even if that is true, neither are that common in Africa, although they are more common than the rest of the world. It also hot there which tends to slow down the virus.

    The 2009 flu epidemic affected Africa less than the rest of the world. I cant yet post links but you can google that yourself.

    On the Greta silence... overpopulation is a massive environmental threat. Imagine she's a bit conflicted at the moment. Wiping out 10% of the population would do wonders for the environment.

    Please folks, try to remember that this crisis too shall pass. One way or another, this current set up isn't forever. We'll get through it.

    With a coordinated effort, the right equipment and some training they could be picked up safely with oversight from the HSE.

    This is not flu, its a different virus, there speculation is that hot temperatures do not mitigate its spread.

    This post goes nowhere, adds nothing.

    Donald Trump is an asshole, IMO, but there are hundreds of millions of sound people in America who have been let down by the administration.

    What about the illegal immigrants - is there any barrier to them getting tested if they have symptoms? Whats the system like to get tested over there?

    A 327 million figure was mentioned a few posts back. The death toll is going to be absolutely horrendous there.
