Please god let today be the start of Italy seeing the numbers lowering

Too little too late. It has totally destroyed Italy. They ignored the warnings like UK and will pay a huge price for it. I really hope China pays heavily for this disaster so that they never again allow this to happen. They are to blame and like the Soviets with Chernobyl tried to cover it up. The world will change as a result of this.

I'm not an expert but how do then test for antibodies with drawing blood? The tests being administered here are with swabs. I think you're wrong.

Correct, the test here is testing for presence of the virus only, using PCR. It doesn’t test for antibodies

I can understand the explosion of annoyance but correct - there is evidence of thick bastards in every country over the past few weeks.

Yes, going to daily mass, these gob****es exist.

Its shocking that scumbags would do this. To cough in someone's face on purpose is disgusting.

Yeah, but think of it this way - those in the queue can post selfies on Facebook of tucking into their last Big Mac, possibly ever if they catch something from it....

And people happy with todays numbers since it was below 30%. We are shagged.

The stupid spreaders need to be firmly dealt with.

What are you on about ? Would you rather it was much more than 30%?
Theres nothing relased today that we didn't know.

Maybe there's just some people that simply cannot face up to the reality of this thing. So they convince themselves otherwise.

With a stroke of a pen a legislator (the legislative body) could make this a criminal offense of attempted manslaughter, thus immediately halting such a vile practice in its tracks. It's not as if there is limited space on statute books. Just do it.

Would have to be somewhere in Asia.

New Zealand have announced a total lockdown and they have 102 cases. People are accepting it. We should have done something similar. No room for the gob****es to gob****e.

People in Asia queue up for the latest phone etc, not saying that they would if one was released now, but fairly sure we won't find out.

NZ are seeing panic buying since the announcement has been made despite being told that shops will remain open and plenty of stock.

I'm under the impression that the government may be repurposing it's own labs.

Testing is being ramped up to be carried out in clinical labs i.e. in hospitals.

Good question from one of the journalists there about the samples possibly expiring before theyâ€™re analysed.

The swab containers contain a gel like media to preserve the sample. The growth media keeps the virus alive until it is processed.

Why is there a big question mark? They do so many tests a day and get results and report them.

They plan to ramp testing up to 15,000 a day soon and then the tests numbers will be more up todate and numbers will increase further.

They announced yesterday they were moving to 4,500 a day. Previously they had said 15,000 a day.

However with a backlog of 40,000 and it actually takes a few days for results to come through the figures we are getting today possibly only reflects the position from 1 to 2 weeks ago

The UK have "ramped-up" to 10,000 a day

Pressing the pause button on life for a year, would be a small sacrifice to make to ensure that this thing be defeated.

Not feasible long-term as people would not tolerate it and the world economy would be absolute toast.

That's awful but hasn't daily mass been cancelled for over a week now?

MOR316 · 23-03-2020 07:44PM

Will go for my evening stroll around the park in a short while.
Around my area, everyone seems to be taking the advice seriously, luckily. Only seen one or two out walking dogs, nightly, in the last week, instead of jogging groups and 5 a sides

Yesterday, there were a few more out walking. To be expected as it was a Sunday but, all just single individuals, walking their dogs or getting their exercise in.

Lucky in that sense that there is nothing like scenes we saw over the weekend in Howth and places like that

I have some stuff to do. Like I keep telling my wife, when I say I'll do it, I will. You don't need to keep reminding me every 6 months.

The Irish have had an international reputation of being good fun but a bit thick and by jaysus we have done everything we can to live up to that reputation over the last two weeks.

I can't see the issue with people queueing for a McDonald's before it closes. Only serving drive through so what is the problem.
I don't like McDonald's, but those people are harming no one, might be a treat for kids. A lot of judgemental people around. A little live and let live wouldn't go amiss.

Anyone hear the rumour that lots of people will get divorced or have a child in December?

"Now we have to look at the young people who are getting seriously ill from the European cohort and make sure that it isn't just driven by the fact that they have underlying conditions, because we know that underlying conditions — all bets are off no matter how young you are if you have an underlying, serious medical condition. You're going to potentially get into trouble," Fauci added.

"But if they don't have underlying conditions, that will be something we will have to really examine as to why we're seeing it here but we didn't see it in China. So we're going to look at that very closely."

There is nothing from China we can trust on this.

It has not destroyed Italy and by vomiting forward such ****e its plainly obvious you know nothing about Italians or indeed anyone over there at the moment. It is an horrendous situation without doubt but they are not and will not be destroyed. STAI ZITA

So the UK are still not testing at the same volume per capita as Ireland then?
