Brits behavior at the weekend was insane, none of them taking it seriously

Given crowds that were about tramore,we're in no position to lecture anyone

Be suprised if any parks/beaches etc left open by the weekend

I find the quote so bizarre compared to what he talks about.. He says masks are better than nothing, especially to help stop you spreading it, but it's a personal choice.?

Which is below the predicted number

We were always going to have cases

Anything below the predictions of 15000 is a Positive

It's in China... sure that's 10 thousand miles away...
People start to die in Italy...Ah yeah but sure they were old...
Cases soar in UK...we're an island sure we'll be grand...
Few cases here...sure we were always going to get cases...
Cases soar in Ireland...Leo said anything below 15,000 and we'll be sound...

A delusional pattern developing for a lot of posters on this thread it would seem.

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.

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.

Azerbaijan.

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 07:17PM

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.

froog · 23-03-2020 07:18PM

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

Drivetime's Mary Wilson reporting 215 new cases. RTE News on Twitter reporting 219. RTE website 219. The Journal reporting 219

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 07:20PM

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 07:20PM

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
