Don't think so.

They have 5 deaths out of 1.8million people. We have 6 deaths out of 4.8million people. Unless we have a dramatic spike in death toll today, their mortality rate is much higher.

The numbers are so small though its hard to conclude trends as definitive, better wait a few more weeks.

Deaths are too small at this point to draw any statistical conclusion re mortality rate.

Any figures for the UK out yet?

Does anyone know if you're placed on a ventilator, would they put you into a medically induced coma as well?

How will they enforce it though? We live in the Dublin mountains and it was manic up here last weekend. Cars blocking the road, you couldn't get up or down it. Illegal parking, crowds of people and lots of dumping too. Any time I have called the Gardaí in the past about incidents that residents have to put up with (joyriders, scramblers out on the open road, shooting out of season etc.) I'm told, "sorry, we have no car to send up". Can only imagine in the current state of affairs they won't even bother answering their phones never mind patrolling the place.

Yea, I posted my friends covid 19 payment form off for him last Thur, I told him not to expect anything until next week maybe.

Leo talking about May/June for schools reopening... that seems premature to me..

It's untrue to say that Ireland "couldn't provide a living for them". There's no doctors going hungry in Ireland. It's just that the pay and conditions in Australia are more attractive than in Ireland, before you even start talking about weather, desire to travel etc.

The hours doctors work and the lack of resources and poor management is enough to send a lot of them packing. Many of them are in debt due to going to college particularly if they go post grad route. Oh not to mention eye watering rents!

Not necessarily significant - a large percentage of the general UK population (that is not in ICU) is overweight or obese - percentage must be close to 72%.

62% of the UK are Obese, so you aren't far off.

Of course they can. A roadblock and a Garda car/ army jeep would do the trick just fine. €200 on the spot fine for anyone evading it.

It's not hard, the government is just reluctant to do it.

I think such measures are just ridiculous

Whatever about the pubs, I think you can forget about the concerts (this summer at least). I think it will be quite sometime before they (large group gatherings) will be permitted again!

Doesn't matter what he wants, the governors and local level governments have the power and will determine when things can reopen.

That is about a 50% growth in cases and doubling of deaths isn't it?

There will be a bigger rush to the gyms than the pubs when this finishes..

All the people at home putting on weight, because they have eff all to stay trim for. No meetings with people, no holiday, weddings, funerals, shops to buy new clothes...loads a weight being gained..

I did read it. If it keeps mutating, a vaccine won't work.

Government of national unity being considered in Britain :

Yes they will, you can't deal with a tube down your throat unless under.

Like a competition who can become the most extreme.

Can't wait for the military to take the streets and start shooting people as soon as they leave their house.

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's worse than that, far more than forty mutations are already documented :eek:.

But actually, it's not uncommon for subeditors writing headlines to pull out the thing that to them sounds alarming, rather than what was interesting about the story - namely sequencing its genome to track the virus from place to place and even person to person.

Mutations are only going to affect potential vaccine efficacy if
(1) they change the protein sequence (many mutations don't)
(2) the protein concerned is on the outside of the virus (here, the 'spike' protein that is used in gaining entry to cells, which is being targeted for vaccines)
and (3) they change it enough that an antibody against one version of the protein won't bind to another.

These are all things that can be checked by comparing virus genome sequences, and by lab experiment, and they will be checked by anyone working on vaccines.

true

Did some gyms let members bring stuff home ??

I hope so, but I suspect this weekend will be even worse up our way because of the closure of other public places. Will be staying in
