India has just gone into full lockdown. if 1.6 Billion people are being put in lockdown. Why cant the Irish Govt do the fuking same.

From my limited experience of rural India, I suspect that outside of the very few wealthy areas, their 'lockdown' will not be well adhered to/enforced.
I think that our own current procedures are realistically more limiting than their lockdown.

Fully agree, the inertia to be overcome to switch the prevailing 'Official Mindset' from it's normal "That can't be done because" over to the "Let's get a working solution to this by morning, people" is massive, and there is no evidence that political will and drive to do that is there.

To the usual suspects, please read carefully and provide evidence, not assertions.

If HSE can't get it done. Military planners should be put in charge. More used to dealing with limited resources, extreme deadlines and getting the job done. UK has done this for aspects of their response. HSE used to dealing on much longer timelines and getting away with not delivering. WTF is the point of putting in place mobile testing if you can't process them. Fvcking PR spin is all.

Unfortunately this is not true. I know of a case in the 'east' where the patient is in ICU and it took 5 days for the C-19 positive result to come back. For 5 days this patient was in ICU and wasn't even listed as an active case let alone a 'serious/critical' case.

Truly shocking.

5 Days thats really quick, so I sould have said "the most reliable" as opposed to "reliable".

Was this at the start of the outbreak ?

Is this the article you're referring to?
https://www.irishtimes.com/news/health/coronavirus-test-backlog-how-did-it-emerge-and-can-it-be-controlled-1.4210269

I don't see where is mentions only 33% of 4,500 tests awill be carried out. 33% of 4,500 is 1,350, and we're currently getting through ~2,000 a day as it is.

You said that the extra hospital labs are tied up processing internal testing. That means the plan is hospital labs will process Covid samples from patients that are in the hospital and its healthcare workers. Samples from the community will be sent to the NVRL.

The samples can also be frozen and stored if required to prevent sample degradation.

No, it wasn't. cf absence of any reference of 'to hospital labs' or 'sample degradation' in report you quoted.

Irish government would have no authority to put India into lockdown.

Can you not see the difference with population density with 1.6bn in India and Ireland.

Have you seen Indian trains as an example.

Really, why is everybody screaming for a lockdown?

Given yesterday was 1,125:

15% = 169
20% = 225
30% = 338.

Anything under 200 would be considered good today.

We definitely don't want it up around 338-340.
