France: +2,448 new cases/+240 additional deaths.

Less new cases than yesterday but more deaths.

Deaths would lag cases though.

It's worth looking at the logarithmic graphs on worldometer, and use a ruler or a straight edge to see where Italy and the others would be today if the trend had matched where it was a week or so ago. I get about 1 million infected in Italy, so what they are doing works.

( Theres no way it couldn't work though).

The comments to this tweet are sorta funny, "I WILL NOT BE SENDING MY CHILD IN!" etc, Calling out RTÉ saying it's stupid to school to keep open

So it looks like the leaving and junior cert could be in August/ September and no summer holidays..?.

The numbers are far from meaningless. They might not be totally accurate yet but they are the best indicator we have on whether our measures are starting to work.

Pubs and schools were closed over a week ago and events started getting cancelled, lots of shops shut their doors voluntarily. It should start making a difference very soon and if not we need more measures in place.

Not yet. The measures came in (mostly) just before St Patricks Day - it's too early to see the effect of that. If we do see the effects over the next day or two then we'll be in really good shape relative to other countries. But I don't think we will. There's also a big backlog of tests so there's going to be a big rise at some point, that people will over-react to.

The best measure is deaths and ICU cases actually. If they are not increasing exponentially then the curve is flattening, even if we can't see it in the tests, because we are doing more tests.

but there are people waiting for a test nearly since those measures, it will take longer to see the results.

If true, would any science-type person like to speculate would so many mutations mean making an effective one-size-fits-all vaccine more difficult?

It could. Harder to easily target, it would depend what and where the variation is/are.

Sure those are the figures I'm talking about? Along with newly diagnosed cases.

They are sitting outside the Department of Health! Probably sent by the CIF, with their measuring tapes, to show how responsible builders are! :P

Scientists in Iceland claim they have found 40 mutations of the coronavirus,
...
“We have the genes from more than 400 infections. The interesting thing about that sequencing is that we can track where the virus came from. Some came from Austria. There is another type from people who were infected in Italy. And there is a third type of virus found in people infected in England. Seven people had attended a football match in England. '

In total, 473 infected persons have been found in Iceland since February 28, when the first case was discovered. A single person is dead and 12 are hospitalized.

The Icelandic health authorities have tested all of the people who either showed symptoms, were ill or were in the risk group for coronavirus.

In addition, DeCode Genetics has tested 5,571 people who did not show symptoms of the disease and who were not at risk but who volunteered to be tested. The genetics company has found 48 cases of coronavirus in which the tested person showed no symptoms of any kind.

The company expects to publish the results of their coronavirus studies and share data on the gene sequences.

How many cases in NI today ?

posturingpat · 24-03-2020 07:15PM

What is the story with building sites? Still full steam ahead?
Surely they're not going to be able to use sanitizer regularly etc. Ive 2 mates working on a job at the minute and they reckon there's almost 1600 of them on site.
I'm no expert but if one or 2 of them get it I suspect it wouldn't be long spreading amongst them.
