    Probably the same numb nuts who were buying pasta, pizza and toilet roll in bulk last week.

    And they will again if any further restrictions are announced. So timing is very important in terms of supply chains stock and ability to pass the imbecil panic shopping wave like when the school closures were announced.

    But I wonder if old age is the “condition?”

    You'd be hoping the death/ICU % would drop.as case number increases



    In rare bit of good news italy has experienced new case numbers drop for 2nd day in a row

    I didn't say that. The post I quoted said more test would mean more deaths. If people are that serious they will have in hospital and there test more urgent.

    They should just do what they done in Denmark. They had hand sanitiser for sale. 1 bottle for 5 euro or 2 bottles for 95 euro.

    Heard other day gang came into local supermarket and ran around touching everyone going corona virus corona virus. I think tonights numbers, these braindead f*ckers calls for a lockdown where only allowed out to get food and meds

    Tonight's numbers are under the threshold of the 30% prediction. That plus an unverified rumour spead by pseudonymous internet commenter isn't much of a justification for a lockdown.

    Claire Byrne was self isolated in her shed more than a week ago. If she was prioritised she would surely have had her result before today.

    Ah, saw Tommy Robinson was involved in something but didn't click on it for obvious reasons.

    So complete aholes can actually do something good then!

    Credit where credit is due I am completely behind Tommy on this one.
    I so wanted home to rip the 3 of them limb from limb
    Unfortunately he was out numbered.
    Initially the cops seemed to be putting Tommy in the wrong for confronting them.

    crazy times

    While I think its crazy all them queuing up but given they are all in cars they are social distancing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,095 ✭✭✭growleaves


    What's actually the logic here is something like:

    Cases have only jumped 23.7%

    But people's emotions have jumped 46.3%

    Therefore....lockdown

    I'm surprised they don't remain open for delivery / limited collection. Probably ran the numbers and didn't make sense to remain open.

    They said that is was because the proximity of staff to each other while working meant social distancing could not be implemented.

    It's on the RTE headline , maybe have a word with them.

    I'm sure that's not what people want to hear.

    They do the test anyway to check for antibodies. If you've none you didn't the virus in the first place so still at risk. But I'm just emeldc on boards, not a doctor 🙄🙄

    Antibodies to the virus are not part of testing. Antibody assays arent available yet. They hopefully will be someday.

    The current test detects the presence of the virus. It is a test for active infection.

    Antibody tests will determine previous infection or exposure to the virus.

    Lockdown has been the only solution for some ever since we closed the schools. I'm still assuming we'll see a 30% rise per day this week anyway. Anything below that is to be welcomed.

    people need to stop thinking today or tomorrow number
    any change we make takes 14 days to affect it, we need the number to drop to 0% by the end of the month to have any affect
    even in a month at 10% from tomrrow we have 24K infected and 1200 need ICU beds that we don't have
    the Avg time in hospital is around 18-20 days it's not a 1-3 days and they are out and well
    if we don't stop it right now and then wait 14 days to change the number we are in trouble for a lot of people
    at 20%

    it seems like a week since we had five people recovered, I realise that they were mostly the one group but thought there might be the odd person recovering since.

    But how does a rise that is below expectations count as new evidence for a lockdown?

    Obviously anything above 0% is bad.

    No hide all the parmesan, chick peas , cocoa, 00 flour , smoked , fruit , wine , salmon..........all the good stuff and leave them sitting in their houses eating bread and **** frozen food... they will need all the toilet roll to mitigate the effects of they're **** diets.

    Ya I think Dr Holohan said those recovery figures would be updated.

    The point of an exponential curve is that it grows at a rate of about 30% a day.The last few days it has not, apart from last Thursday, when there was a 52% increase although they had acknowledged increased testing so expected the sudden increase in numbers.As far as I am concerned anything less than 25% as a day to day growth is another inching step in the right direction.Not enough time has passed yet to give a good strong indication, but still, there is a glimmer -the tiniest- of light there.
