219 Today folks, an increase of 24%, that's 6% under the 30% prediction.

Would really help to put it in context if we could also see how many have recovered and also to show how many have been tested. Taking these figures at face value and it would appear to necessarily follow that the problem is getting worse.

I can't wait until I can bug out and wear my mask in public

The longer it takes us to reach it means the slow this thing is spreading and the less impact it has on the health service.

I do understand that but are we not talking days? I don't see how 4-5 days longer to hit those types of huge numbers makes much difference. Especially if it continues to grow.

Numbers less than predicted and not a massive jump.
We are doing well I expect numbers to jump next week due to all the international travellers and then hopefully the fruits of our measures start to kick in.

I would have been hoping for about 140-150.

It could be a blip though.....we saw a sudden jump last Thursday as well.

12000 tests? Is it not 2000 and its getting ramped upto 4000 from tomorrow?

That is per day (the 2k going up to approx 4k)

219 isn't that big a jump
1125 total infected
2 new deaths

lak · 23-03-2020 06:17PM

20% of cases which ended up in ICU, 6/31,have so far resulted in passing away. That's a terrifying amount for those who are in an at risk group.

the government really shouldn't have put out that 15,000 figure. now people think we're doing great just cause we're not hitting 30% increases every day. our response is weak compared to many other countries.

How many healthcare workers?

Where is the detailed statement ?

They started down the route of 'Herd Immunity' which only works when 60% of the UK population is infected. Thus Crufts, Cheltenham, concerts and football matches etc. were not cancelled.

They then changed their minds and decided to follow the consensus of what the rest of the world was doing... but the damage had already been done.

They cancelled on there own advice before Cheltenham expect one league system and got told off by the government for scaremongering as did other events that did cancel

Is there any update on the age of the two poor souls that passed today?

Dr Holohan said 215. He also said 1,012 in total. Yesterday's reported figure was 785. The figure in the thread title now reads 1,121 (changed to that by another mod). I am not sure where we are up to, but I guess recoveries may be affecting things

What does Claire Byrne think about the virus?

cosanostra · 23-03-2020 06:20PM

Backlog is probably significantly higher than 40k as he just said they are seeing significant demand running into the 10s of thousands per day

A 20% death rate in an intensive care ward is likely to be relatively normal I'd have thought.

lillycakes2 · 23-03-2020 06:20PM

208 healthcare workers

Yup, but I think that's no different to any admission to ICU.

Disagree.....60k people volunteered to help the health service after Varadkar's speech, suggesting it had a huge impact on the population

2000 tests a day, 40000 waiting.
20 days to clear backlog at the current rate.
Need to seriously ramp up the testing

How is the test back log of 40,000 when now new test centres and test kits in the country

yet some "celebs, high profile etc.," with no symptoms or very mild symptoms tested fast

I think recovered numbers are only those who have been in hospital and discharged. In Ireland the vast majority of the people self isolating in Ireland will have recovered after 14 days but not get recorded as such.

Therefore it is a pretty useless stat for Ireland's situation.

Vietnam have run tests and apparently, spraying a mask with disinfectant and microwaving it for a minute means they can be reused more. Sounds like something you'd read in the Onion but they say it totally sterilises the mask.. A homemade autoclave I guess.

They had to put out a number - the problem is that day 1-3 of isolation so to speak worked, then the sun came out and people say ah sure a walk be grand etc.... and then you have huge numbers ignoring it.

Was up in Tesco yesterday - not one memebr of staff wearing gloves and some lad at the checked out said he couldn't get a f**k about the virus when asked by a lad who had gloves on etc.

That's the problem right there folk not caring - simple as that.

I said it before if that mortality rate was as high for the age group 15-40 as it is for the elderly/sick, you wouldn't be seen people going for walks etc. Or if it was high for children - they wouldn't be in the parks - the paretns would make sure of that.

Enough is enough. Shut this **** down. Non-essential services need to go.
