    France seems to be holding the line for now
    For the last 4 or 5 days they've had consistently high numbers in the serious column similar to that of spain but their keeping it around 100 deaths per day


    It be all about the United states of America by Thursday
    Looking like 15000 new cases today so its safe enough to say they'll be putting up 20k+ during the week they're gonna rocked passed Italy and china in every way
    They have only 100 deaths today but they've very few in serious condition now, thousands will move to serious condition in the next few weeks.

    The US +14,000 cases today

    True numbers are much, much higher. Their policy so far has largely been turning people away unless they'd specifically been to an affected region, despite presenting with all the symptoms. I found this an interesting read.

    I was in Cornelscourt yesterday and used the bathroom. I washed my hands and was drying them at the machine by the door.
    A lady exited a stall and went to walk straight out of the bathroom. I said "Sorry, I really think you should wash your hands". She replied (while lifting them up to show), "it doesn't matter, I'm wearing gloves!". I said that's even worse then, but was told to mind my own business.
    We were both leaving at the same time and in the corridor I asked her again to please wash her hands. She ignored me.
    Out in the public area she started coughing on her gloved hand. This really triggered me and I shouted after her. I very audibly called that she had used the bathroom, not washed and was now coughing on her gloves. It did attract a bit of attention and people seemed horrified (by her thankfully, not me).
    She continued on, not giving a fuk, collected her trolley and wheeled out of the shopping center.

    No idea what germs she could have been spreading. But it's OK for her, cause SHE was wearing gloves.

    Our government needs to do on the spot fines for this kind of stuff. I think gardai can fine you €20 if they stop a vehicle and you're not wearing a seatbelt. The same should apply here with carelessness and selfish attitudes and behaviours. €20 on the spot fines for not using a tissue or not aiming coughs and sneezes into your elbow. I know the cops have enough to do. Maybe community wardens can enforce something like this.

    Cheltenham goes were asked to self isolate but someone that would go to such a crowded place would not isolate. If it’s not enforced it won’t happen.

    Shocking communication from UK Gov.

    He is slowly leading them down the garden path, in the next week or so the army will be out and the country will be on full lockdown. He has to do it this way because the lockdown will be 2- 3 months

    That sentence makes no literal sense. If we are increasing testing and the trend of the number of people in total testing positive is falling, it's good news.


    Well if it doesn't make sense to you I can spell it out.

    But that isn't the trend. There is a waiting list to be tested. THERE is no trend of falling numbers. The numbers are still going UP.

    These will be responsible for a lot of positive tests over the coming weeks. Many didn't self isolate went back to work and visited friends family etc

    What age was the person that passed away today?

    18, but with an underlying condition. It cannot be stressed enough that the underlying condition is what is key here, not the age.

    RIP nonetheless, horrifically tragic.

    No, simply of more daily tests being carried out.

    Meaningless until we reach stage where test carried out today = results completed today, with only a day's backlog.

    They are on a shocking exponential trend. Heading towards 100,000 cases in a few days, and 1M a few days after that. They had fewer recorded cases just 3 days ago than the increase today. I know some of that is increases in testing. Nevertheless...

    Hopefull, however, the lock downs will start to bend the curve. If anybody doubts that the virus can be extremely transmittable look at that number.

    One of the U.K deaths was an 18 year old :(
    Might drive home a message to some of those think they are bullet proof.

    It won't. They simply do not care. I've got two teenage girls in the house, faces stuck to their phones and completely oblivious to the world around them . We have had blazing rows with them trying to get them to understand the reasons for isolation. Thank God we live in the arse of Roscommon nowhere near towns. Teens have no clue of the world outside Snapchat or Instagram or TikTok. One of them asked me if France has a coastline the other day, for Christ's sake. Jesus.

    The UK NHS will be overwhelmed in two weeks, the US non existent health system in 2.5 weeks, it is interesting how both places are on a par at the moment with the outbreak, special relationship?

    Well my point is that AI will not develop a vaccine. Humans either will succeed or fail at that task. Developing successful vaccines that doesn’t damage humans is still a very difficult task, it should not be underestimated. Success is not guaranteed.

    Did I read right today that there is a backlog of 4000 to be tested?

    From what I saw today the whole social distancing isnt really being observed at all

    The fine weather isnt helping either.

    I think this 'calm before the storm' is lulling people into a false sense of security

    ?

    Hardly meaningless even if delayed. We can see trends in the delayed results.

    As I said though the testing has increased and the trend has decreased it is good news. Of course we need more than 2 days data.

    Didnt see the age of the person here released

    The backlog of 4000 people doesn't mean that these people have more reason to believe they have CV, it is in fact the number of tests we hope to carry out soon, and even more thereafter.

    Do we know how long it will take to turn that number of tests round? There's already a 2+ day timelag, and doing more tests does not automatically mean they can analyse for the virus any faster. It may be the end of the week before we start seeing figures based on the increased testing numbers, and at 4,500 a day it will take 9 days just to get through the current "backlog" (although some may be recovered by then, and indeed some may have deteriorated resulting in quicker tests for some)

    Ah yes i know they arent necessarily positive but in wondering will we be always chasing our tails with regard to testing

    Some people are 5 days waiting

    Our government was able to bring in emergency legislation the other day giving more powers to the state and the gardai on isolation and quarantine issues.

    Surely they could bring in more emergency legislation.
