Is any other country testing as many per capita, with this 40,000 incoming Ireland will have tested over 1% of its population.

Thats the message that needs to get across to the younger about social distancing. No point in saying that look to the Italians, sure they are all old.

This age myth is a global problem.
A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analysis of U.S. cases from Feb. 12 to March 16 released Wednesday shows 38 percent of those sick enough to be hospitalized were younger than 55.

Earlier this week, French health ministry official Jérome Salomon said half of the 300 to 400 coronavirus patients treated in intensive care units in Paris were younger than 65, and, according to numbers presented at a seminar of intensive care specialists, half the ICU patients in the Netherlands were younger than 50.

Yes.
The median age of cases in Italy is only 63 years.

Good to know the 15,000 figure per day but as you said turn around time for results will be one to watch

With 6 labs on the go results for 4500 should be possible quickly enough I reckon.15000 sounds a huge challenge in both testing and results.

What makes an exponential is the increase in the rate of change of the rate of change.

Recently, the daily increase has slowed. This isn't what you expect in an exponential situation, like for instance in the US, where it hasnt.

Slowed ???? Are you for real. You do know there is a serious backlog of people waiting on tests. Our figures are exponential.

Maybe, maybe not. However catching more cases doesn't mean that the actual cases have increased, if there are more tests we will get more positives.

What we really need is, as I have said continuously, is randomised tests of 400 people every day. Sick or not.

No. We need to test the 40,000 people already waiting on tests because of a backlog. People are waiting 4 or 5 days to be tested. These are people in the community showing symptoms.

Just back from a lap around the Wicklow mountains on the motorbike. Jaysis Ive never seen it so packed up there, the Wicklow gap is normally pretty quiet even on sunny days but today there was cars strewn all along the road for hundreds of metres. Gardai had closed down the car parks in Glendalough so Im guessing they all just headed up that way instead. People were having BBQs and picnics at the side of the road, Glenmacnass waterfall was absolutely mobbed with a traffic jam to get into the car park there. Sally Gap was the same and it didnt quieten down till I peeled off at the crossroads at the top and headed for home.

You were there too.

As above. Choose a date, e.g 1st April for 3 weeks. This would stop the virus in its tracks and also give people time to stock up and prepare.

At the moment there is just constant panic over when this will happen.

Some US colleagues were sent home for 14 days isolation after one was suspected of getting Corona.
He hasn't got the test as his insurance won't cover it, and they don't even have tests available.

The stats show that people with cardiovascular problems or diabetes are very susceptible to the virus, so that puts most Americans over 50 in the firing line.

They wouldn't cover the equivalent of 15 euro for the test?

I agree. Went down to the ships today and no ones seems to care. People just going about their usual days. Its ridiculous!!!

BorneTobyWilde · 22-03-2020 08:30PM

How can we ever eliminated it with travel from the UK and Europe still flowing in constantly. And who the hell is on these constant London to Ireland flights?

walshb · 22-03-2020 08:30PM

Never thought to ask...do you pay to get tested?

You do realise that the other people at the ships are probably saying the same about you?

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.

It also needs to be stressed that an underlying condition is not necessarily a known underlying condition.

44 in Ireland.

Yes, but conclusions can only be derived from the previous samples, so no reason to assume that the 40,000 will deviate from the mean.

A county Antrim ice cream company closed for the first time in over 100 years, it said it was able to keep open during WW2. Nice ice cream they have, I ate 2 large tubs my myself in one sitting last summer.

Kits may be low but the fact remains that the number of completed tests has increased.

There are 40,000 waiting to be tested. The numbers are staggering below the anticipated 30% increase because the tests have not been carried out.

What. You do know that the number waiting to be tested is a multiple of those already tested, don't you ?

Many of those waiting to be tested are no doubt Cheltenham related.

Yeah, beaches very busy but at least it is outdoors I'm not sure how much of a risk it is.
Apart from that the social distancing message seems to adopted by the vast majority at this stage.

I was at the beach. Stayed at least two metres away from everyone bar my family as did everybody I saw there. Is this wrong?

No problems social distancing for me, I rode a motorbike alone for 60km didnt get off it once and was always moving. It was packed up there but everyone was in their own groups spread out across the mountains. Wasnt a problem that I saw anyway.

There's not a whole lot else left open here that the public have access to. They're still all working away in Norway.

Having up to 50 centres available does not make it quite so staggering. Even 200 a day per centre is 1/4 of that and 300 a day from 30 centres now open is more or less the same.

From talking to friends and family and hearing of a number of them waiting for test, we seem to be testing large nos as a precaution rather than expecting them to have the virus.

Exact opposite really of what we're seeing across the water. So even if the figures go up a lot over the next few days, hopefully were just capturing cases that would have been missed elsewhere. The important bit is that the deathrate stays low. Similar to Korea and Germany in the approach.
