    a pity caps lock doesnt solve things isnt it

    im not seeing any evidence that merely being outside is in any serious way increasing risks, as long as one is sensible

    anyone who is losing the plot about people being outside seems to me to be just engaging in drama because they enjoy it or because they like telling other people what to do on social media.

    dont understand either behaviour myself but ppl are strange i spose.

    Being outside is not an issue. Being outside where in close proximity with others is.

    how low a number would make you embarrassed about your last few posts?

    84,999

    Actually, I'll be dead so .... none?

    This is the crux of the matter. Most people are sensible, some aren't, and it is the latter who are (for the most part) being justifiably vilified.

    prolonged or excessively close, absolutely joe.

    and if you have to transact, hand washing and serious care is required.

    Something stark from data. Getting into hospital one thing, getting out another.

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=506771&stc=1&d=1585021650

    if I'm reading that right, and after some searching, (i just totalled the numbers, 355, and searched for that no. of fatalities) that's:
    of all fatal cases in Italy up to about 8th March, time spent in hospital before the patient died?
    average (median) 5 days, versus median of 11 days in hospital for those who survived?

    Bit of an oxymoron



    As has already been admitted you cannot find all contacts so meanwhile they are going around infecting lots more people and you reach a point where contact tracing becomes pointless
    Why are all these countries locking down?

    Because the health system can’t cope with the rapid increase in cases. This huge surge affects multiple different aspects. Outpatient resources are cut back, healthcare workers are infected, space for sick people, transport of sick people, staff for sick people that need intensive care, space to leave deceased until funerals.

    It all has a huge knock on affect as people have to be specially protected to deal with any of the above, again which takes time and resources.

    Fcuking hell, they got it under control. Europe has no chance. The UK probably thinks they're on a national 3 week holiday. People need to cop on and just stay the fcuk home, even if you're not sick.

    Mostly.

    But just makes one wonder that if/when we (and other countries) get this under some sort of control, it is going to be a long time before life gets back to any normality. If you want to travel abroad, wherever you go to, there may be a 14 day quarantine (each way) to add to your travel plans!

    Those talking about a vaccine just think how is that flu and cold vaccine going? This could be a factor in it lives for a long time, just like the flu and cold

    Morning all :)

    Tonight they will say how many tests were carried out for the week and I’ll update the list. Some of the spreadsheets here are far far superior though. Well done guys.

    Martina, just want to clarify though. When Dr Holohan says “tested”, he means those that have been swabbed and those swabs analysed?

    A lot of those predictions were based on worst case scenarios and also social distancing not implemented. The main reason fatalities are so low is that rate of infections has been slow and steady rather than huge peaks. This has meant that hospitals can cope.

    Are you for real, we are at the bottom of the curve. This is only the beginning. Also lots of numpties not adhering to social distancing.

    Only treats one strain of cold or flu, then it mutates and no longer any use.

    Tougher lockdown measures on way as virus death toll rises
    A raft of new restrictions on how we go about our daily lives will be announced today as the battle against Covid-19 is stepped up.
    https://www.independent.ie/

    Unfortunately the government are slow learners.
    It will take 10+ days of harsh lockdown before we see a benefit.

    Perhaps the 'soft' approach taken hereto has made some ground in flattening the curve? i really don't know.
    But it's clearly not enough.

    We have a blueprint on containing this virus from China, S Korea and Italy.
    The government cannot do the S Korea response as they do not have the test kits, nor do they have the guts to use mobile phone data for contact tracing.

    That leaves the China response.
    Copying Italy should be avoided.

    Donald Trump, in his latest briefing, expects this will pass in weeks (rather than months)!

    Fupping loon! Things only kicking off in the US.

    Only positive is that every time he opens his mouth he reduces his chance of being re-elected.

    I'd be pretty sure it will have/has had some effect in reducing spread, but whether enough effect....probably not. I think a tighter lockdown is inevitable.

    Have to say I can’t understand why NCT test centres are open. The RSA always on about road safety and leave these unhygienic centres open. Feel sorry for staff.

    A rapidly diminishing number I'd imagine.
