Wish there was a pill you could take where you would wake in September.

Ireland - 1.25 deaths per million
UK - 5.6 deaths per million

The much more important figure. Gives a more truthful picture of the situation.

Does anyone know the figures of tests per day versus cases?

The reason I ask is if we had double yesterday, but did double the amount of tests, we are still on the same gradient

Today's figures will be from tests undertaken 3+ days ago. You will only see the impact of increased testing later this week

25% of irish cases are health workers 12% of Spainish cases. Why is this?

Wasn't there one or more health workers on holiday in Italy?

RTE's Northern correspondent saying that the lockdown in the UK is putting pressure on the Republic to impose one. Trying to tell us what to do when they've only just implemented something from nothing until now. Fcuk off.

I had to pick up my SIL from the airport, and drove from Rathcoole then up the Naas Rd early this evening. lots of adults walking closely in groups in the village, 3 or 4 people. No social distancing, and these were people in their forties or fifties. Also several groups of teenagers, mid teens by the Subway.

Then in the Naas Rd, there’s a group of 10/15 teenagers playing chicken crossing the road just past the service station, all in dark clothing. Where are their parents??

My SIL arrived from Poland, via Germany. She had her temperature taken before boarding the shuttle, then again at the airport then here again on arrival.

I wouldn't say so, leadership is about being able to course correct. He has demonstrated that he can

They were saying on Sky that his decisions have closely matched polling surveys. If that's how he plans to make decisions going forward they're in for a long ride. That is reactionary, not leadership.

Couldnt you say the same for people that lost their jobs during the week, couldn't they plant a few spuds instead of looking for a handout from the government.

Some lettuce in a window box! Eamon Ryan

Well theyd need a handout to buy a few seed spuds

Classic kneejerk reaction. Our Government was vastly more competent until the abrupt change of tact by Boris tonight.

Looking at the USA stats. Over 9000 cases today alone.

They've gone from under 1k to over 40k in less than two weeks. As I've mentioned previously, many aren't getting tested over the costs of hospitalisation.

Stay at home orders are enforced in a few states. People in our US office have papers they show to authorities that allow them to be out and about. Haven't seen any media from there today but there could be anarchy before long.

Half the ads shut be put on lockdown, no need for them. Fill the ad space with covid info etc

I don't watch regular TV channels. But are there any ads about Covid from the HSE. I guess there would be.

Most of those cases have come in the last few days. 5% seem to need ICU treatment . It takes about 10 days to get to the stage where the 5% are going to need ICU. So those 25 are from 10 days ago in terms of when they started to feel ill. I think the ICU will start to fill up quickly from now on, hopefully we will be able to handle that surge. I think they should increase the amount of businesses that are shut so as to mitigate that surge.

I wonder did that jump coincide with the cluster of cases at the nursing home?

I can't stand him or his party but I can tell you, I won't.
And it won't be decided on 'looks like' it'll be decided on outcome.

Most people doing most things most of the time is what they want, not 100% compliance. Their market research suggests that over 90% of us are responding appropriately.

Statistics can be anything you want.
Ireland 4 deaths. UK 335 deaths.
4 into 335 = 84
5 million into 66 million = 13.2
Pro rata, Ireland should have 26 deaths.

We're up to six now, 2 more today.

It's increased by 50%! The exclamation mark is for those obsessing over ever-changing and hard to contextualise figures on an hourly basis. Trends are over time; figures are extremely important, but they need to be approached in this context from more of a weekly standpoint, not a daily/hourly one.

That is a totally stupid response, check the trust of my posts.

The very least to be expected from the HSE after the Cervical Smear enquiry was that they had sorted out issues to do with notifying the test result findings to patients and put robust SOPs in place - they haven't.

I have had an increasingly bad feeling in my gut arising from their obfuscation of the figures, but hadn't really believed that the old system was still in place.

Unlikely I would have thought : Portugal has different restrictions to Spain (their ones - Portuguese - are similar to ours).

IFA looking for help for beef farmers in this trying time. Jaysus christ, they never waste a crisis.

Maybe they could cull a few beasts and plant some spuds and veg. Keep themselves fed at least

They'll probably try and shout louder than the rest of us the IFA are use to that we're not!?
they can wait in line like everybody else....

Amazing article. The man had practically no symptoms at all, from the beginning and all throughout his isolation.
