Are we the only country in Europe that seems to be keeping the numbers down?

There's a few of us : Norway, Denmark, Finland and Israel seem to have something of a lid on things as well.

Most if not all schools would have closed last Mon and Tue anyway for the long St Patrick`s weekend. So that makes 4 schooldays to date.

I'm not on about school day's, from midnight of 12 March all schools , universities, collages were closed till 29th March 00:00.
Doesn't matter what days they had rostered off in reality

How come we are still fixated on the number of tested positives, unless we start getting figures on the number cured as well then we will end up at 4,500,000 tested positive and maybe 45 cured. Which we know would be ridiculous but nothing to actually contradict it.

(And....) I was passing a shop the other day and heard a loud series of coughs. Looked in and saw the Sales Assistant spluttering all over her hand.
Walked in and said really politely (honestly, I keep it polite and try to sound light!), "sorry, excuse me but you may not realise you're completely visible. It would be best not to cough on your hand".
She told me, she actually said, "oh it's OK. I'm only back from being sick but it was only flu. It's not that swine flu thing, or whatever it is that's going round. But thanks anyway." She then rolled her eyes.
The Sales Assistant that was coughing all over her hand, works in a jewellers. Nice.

You are going to drive yourself crazy with all this. I'd stay at home if I was you.

An 18-year-old with underlying conditions has died in England, the NHS has said. They are thought to be the youngest person in the UK to die of the virus so far.

I had to go to the vet to pick up a cat, in Clare. There were a lot of people out and about enjoying the lovely weather. I think one of the things that makes it look bad is that family groups, which may be distancing from other groups, make it look worse than it probably is, though the groups have to get within 2m to pass on footpaths and a narrow bridge.

A virus can die out, more or less, if it stops being transmitted.

Apologies if this has been covered already but cannot find it...

Why is HSE not publishing number of tests carried out per day?

i.e 121 new cases today is very good news if they carried out 50% more tests, less so if they carried out less tests.

The number of new cases is fairly meaningless without knowing the number of tests in my opinion.

It seems pretty obvious to me but am I missing something?

TBH the few seconds taken to pass could hardly be considered a risk. I reckon the 2m is out there to make sure we get at least 1m away from each other all the time!

went for a drive to portrane and donabate beaches today. didn't get out of car. i noticed better social distancing of older people walking on the beaches ...teenagers however were still hanging around in their feral groups...

BUT the car parks and roads were jammers and everyone was piling back on top of each other when packing up to leave.

you have to treat every single person you come into the vicinity of as being a walking petri dish!

Fingal now have big signs at regular points on beach walks near us ..."THIS IS TWO METRES" (and an arrow pointed at each side of the sign), reminer about social distancing.Very effective, I assume they have similar around Donabate, Portmarnock etc?

To the person who never wants to hear the word "lockdown" again once this is over, I want to add a couple to that...
Social distancing (I pray to God they are two words that are NEVER needed to be used in conjunction with each other again.)
Self-isolation
Anything about viruses spreading.Anything.

18% of some 700 infected individuals on Diamond Princess never showed symptoms

Older people tend to fare badly when infected with the new coronavirus, so it is suspected the rate of asymptomatic infections in a general population might be closer to the 31%.

Hence the WHO latest matra. TEST TEST TEST.

Viral shedding ? Happy reading.

I think on those ships have air re-circulation or whatever it's called and that's causing greater spread than if they would be quarantined on land.

Limerick is still 15. I don't think that can be a realistic reflection of the amount of spread here. I'd say we must be quite behind on testing.

In fairness the 12 o clock hills is beside me, the car park may be full but you might never meet anyone. It's a 10k loop and what about 30 cars there. As long as people arent shifting the face off each other up there, it will be grand.

jonnythefox · 22-03-2020 07:57PM

Any numbers on how many people were tested out of the 121 confirmed positives?

Yes is the answer to that question, but your not going here any positivity in here. We all know it could change but **** me a bit of positivity wouldnt kill us, someone else is after posting there may be no vaccine, I mean what kind of horsehit is that.

Same old it'll be grand mantra.

There are reasons for numbers not going up according to forecast percentage even temporarily (but the numbers are still going UP). The number of tests being carried out and the false, false, positive nature of tests over a 2 week period.

I don't know who the person is that you are referring to. But there is no vaccine or treatment at this time.

Any bit of positivity will result in people taking chances. As it is some people are not taking social distancing seriously. Otherwise we will be facing into a doom and gloom scenario where there will be little positives, and parents and siblings dying on their own in faceless field hospitals.

There is no room for complacency WHATSOEVER.

Nothing horseshít about it Niall.

Generally weekly total on Mondays. Henry mentioned a number yesterday and I believe we we are up to over 13000 now. Expected to go to 4-5000 daily from tomorrow, with a daily target of 15000 ,when all the centres are up and running.
