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

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%

at 10%

I am not joking, I made 10 quarter pounders last week and 7 into the deep freeze. The smell of herbs/spices filled the kitchen all the next day.


3 went that night remainder will be used when we get a bit stir crazy.

What's your recipe?

Just on testing numbers. UK population is approx 66 million and our population is approx. 4.75 million or 13.9 times ours.

Our current daily test rate is 2,000. UK is at 10,000. To match our rate UK needs to be at 27,800.

We're ramping to 4,500 daily tests which would mean UK would need to be heading towards 62,550.

It has been stated that we're aiming for 15,000 tests a day. The UK equivalent would be 208,500.

Let's stick with facts and recognise we're doing good on testing rates, which of course we need to do much better at.

Ramping up to 4,500 a day - that means it will take 8 or 9 days just to go through the backlog built up to yesterday. Those being put forward for testing today may be waiting another 10 days. Some could be recovered. Some may feel they have recovered only for it to have reduced to a non-noticeable level, cancel their test to then find it re-erupts in them

Yes it will take time to get through the backlog.

When the service meets demand, there will be no waiting to be tested.

And results should be turned around within 2 days. It will become a rotuine test, like other laboratory services.

We're still in the early stages of setting up the process.

People just want to moan about our government and HSE. Facts are meaningless to these people.

There's in my opinion doing the best job possible in the world time in the history of the state.

That video should be compulsory viewing, Tommy Robinson did what 90% of men would do in the same situation, and the police turn up and tell him he overstepped the mark, while an OAP with a black eye sits there in tears.

Shocking...

Boris on in a few mins. Will be live here;

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

Obviously anything above 0% is bad.

This lady was asked all these questions on Newstalk this evening by IY and she said that it is not so much the numbers being diagnosed but
the numbers requiring ICU, that is something people are just not grasping at the moment. I personally feel a lock down is the only way to go. The reason for this is that I work in a public office meeting the public and the amount of really stupid people, especially the elderly who see no concern is staggering. It is like they have decided to turn a blind eye to all the bodies in Italy and those on the corridors of Madrid hospitals. I can understand why say some small enterprises and a vunerable business would want to avoid a lock down and argue over percentage increases, anything to save their business, but the reality is we dont have enough beds in icu.Anne O'Connor, Chief Operations Officer (Acting)

Fair enough.
