how many actual recoveries so far from 1200 would be more interesting statistics to follow, given almost a month in surely we dont have 1200 active as good half would be in remission to recovered stage by now. since as stated its very unclear in each case when it was contracted and given that some can test positive days after it passes it skews entire count, to just keep adding cases if theres no monitoring in place to say how many get out each day.

I think if you are in hospital then you have to get 2 negative tests in a row to be discharged.

If your at home, i assume you just feel better after 14 days etc your assumed to be over it?

Like if we have x number of testing kits, we are hardly using the muliple times on the same people are we?

Now got an invite for testing at Tallaght Stadium tomorrow.

As I don't have a car, I'm wondering what the best way of traveling there would be. Walking distance is about 2 hours, cycling about 45 minutes.

Also the below tweets indicate the Tallaght facility is similar to Croke Park - a 'drive through' for cars.

Anyone any ideas how to handle this without a car? I called HSE and they said I need to get one of my friends to do the driving.

That seems like sound advice.

McDonald's is bound to be riddled with the Coronavirus, why on earth would you go there when there's been so many people there recently let alone now when it is jammed. Thick as mince the lot of them, hope they enjoy their box of nuggets with Covid sauce.

There would be thousands of people without cars in the country, so I think there will be many more people in the same situation.

how bad are you?

What’s the point in ramping up testing without the means to process the tests.

Speakerboxx · 23-03-2020 06:40PM

We are our own making of this spread of disease. We have no one to blame but ourselves when people arent listening to the medical advice we have been given.

Given that the numbers are on a lag of 2/3 days, really irrelevent if out by a few.

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.

Updated for you, total cases figure now rules out deaths and recoveries:

Junior Cert is just a practice round , they can move on without the exam...

I think that they'll find a solution for Leaving Certs and as for College - They'll just use the typical "repeats" window in September to close out the year.

Will some people do worse in exams leading to repeats etc.? Almost certainly , but I really don't see any scenario where there is a blanket "hold-back" of people moving ahead in Education from this..

Japan is another country in denial. Completely preoccupied with keeping the Olympics show on the road in the face of the pandemic. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if suppression of cases was happening there.

6 is obviously 6 too many but the mortality so far is far less than the 3 or 4% elsewhere (or worse in Italy).

Because this is just really starting and we have not yet filled the ICUs. When that happens, and it will, the death rate will increase significantly, because it will not be possible to treat everyone.

cloudatlas · 23-03-2020 06:42PM

So you can be asymptomatic but can you also have it and not present with fever for example or indeed all of the symptoms? Is the full menu of symptoms just the usual case.

You'll need more than "they seemed to". I'm not saying they didn't but if you're going to raise a theory at least have something tangible to back it up.

40,000 waiting, some from 16th of March, I just wonder how Ciara and Claire got tested and resulted faster than others, Ciara has asthma so probably priority at risk

That's being ramped up as well, 2000 per day now, 4000 per day soon and will e up to 15000 a day soon.

Can people not realise that these are huge numbers and it takes time to increase capicity.

RTE just said in a normal flu season there would be a total of 15,000 tests done so that gives you an idea of the increase in operations required.

No, it's just that the numbers are not 'live'.

It's pretty pathetic, now if it was Son of Bun on McCurtain Street, I might understand the panic.

Quin_Dub · 23-03-2020 06:45PM

Regardless of the number of tests completed , the important figures are the numbers in Hospital/ICU and so far they appear to be on the low-end of the scale which is something of a positive.

Had a heavy headache on Thursday 12/03, called in sick for work on that day. The Friday/Saturday night after that i woke up bathing in sweat in the middle of the night, very dizzy and slightly fainted in the bed, but could sleep on afterwards. No further fever since then, but continuous coughing. Feeling that I'm slightly getting better since last Saturday.
