    The US are reporting just 400-500 deaths out of 33-40,0000 (depending on the statistical outlet). That's a death rate of somewhere between 1-2 percent vs Italy's almost 10 percent. Is that down just to a younger demographic in the U.S. being stricken with it, or better medical care or what?

    It's more to do with how many are tested and how soon.

    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.

    People are automatically recovered after 14 days of self Isolation. people in self Isolation are not in the figure though, only those released/recovered from Hospital. Didn't Dr Holohan say that they aren't releasing figures on recvered?

    It's their livelihood, what do you expect him say. The burgers in fairness are good quality irish beef.

    Anyone doing the "corona challenge" deserves whatever they get in return, call it self-defence against the scrotes. The only good thing to come from this is it shows who the absolute scum of the country is.

    Taking them off them and sedating them so they don't feel pain as they die alone.

    But a bag of chips is more important.

    Did someone sell them for a bag of chips or something.

    Trump already getting fed up with social distancing so you can expect that death toll to skyrocket.

    The worst thing I've heard abt this sh1t storm so far is in Spain over 65s can't have any more respirators fcukin awful

    Worst for me too. Same as Italy. Wtf are we going to do? How many people have to die with this crap? If we (Ireland, UK) have a total lockdown of say 2 weeks, doesn't that mean that whoever in the country has it in their system will get it and either get worse or recover within those 2 weeks? You then end the lockdown, and strict measures to stop the virus getting in the country again at the borders. What am I missing? (I must be missing something let's be honest)

    I keep comparing our situation to that of Italy's, they being the worst case scenario so far. On the one hand, we have way more cases than they did at three weeks in, but we're also doing more testing than they were at the time (AFAIK, open to correction on that).
    Italy has done 275000+ tests in total.
    Started with 2000-3000 tests per day and now more than 15000 per day

    I'd say none because they don't get them from woodies / b and q or amazon. They get from industrial suppliers. The contract is worth a hell of a lot. The problem is other countries got there first. Germany banned export PPE.

    Where do you think those places people are buying them off get them from. There is not 1 manufacturing plant for each. Case in point the place in Limerick they produce them for all markets. Do people really think it does not matter there coming scares and more expensive for me its not for the medical people

    Lockdown can't be watertight. People still have to go to shops etc. Some will still flout it too...
