    They're going to have to invoke powers to stand him down. He's a nutter. More worried about his rich mates and the stock market than anyone else. Hopefully he gets a dose that knocks the sh1t out of him.

    Unfortunately that sums him up exactly. He is actually evil. Thats just as accurately descriptive a word there is for him, not a dig, a fact, he’s an evil prïck in charge, of the largest and most influential democracy on earth.

    He really is. It’s a jaw on the floor moment how he ended up as president of the USA.

    And yet millions of his fellow Americans will still vote for him again in the election.

    18% increase.

    It's big enough. Just because we're well below the 30% doesn't mean a whole lot. That was an overestimate. But we're still doubling every 5days or so and 34 in ICU.

    ICU and deaths are the numbers I look for, confirmed cases is tied to the number of tests

    No, you're calculating on the daily rate, rather than the total rate, which is 18%.

    Is it possible to report people that are not self isolating even though they got tested and haven't got results yet?
    Found out today my next door neighbour got tested yesterday, yet she was out walking around today and in the local shop and her husband has been going to work. f**kers could be infecting loads of people if she does have it.

    Unlikely. We can't do stuff like that in a liberal democracy apparantly. Ring your GP, Gardai or maybe let your TD know about it. Its clowns like her who are spreading covid 19. She'll probably be in the queue panic buying tomorrow.

    There was a reason the Chinese forcefully quarantined positive cases, it was to protect others from them.

    Because of people like her it will take us years to resolve this.

    The National Public Health Emergency Team has said almost 18,000 tests for Covid-19 have now been conducted as of midnight last night

    They seem to be ramping it up all right, very encouraging.

    Is this including the increase in test capacity? Or do we have to wait til tomorrow to see the effect of this?

    Only it’s the figure we were given by our government in terms of projections


    Projections we are currently way below

    it was an absolute worst case scenario figure (if we continued business as usual) given to try and calm people in the days ahead. the danger is people get complacent thinking we are doing great. we are doing no better than most countries. maybe not even italy.

    Testing is still nowhere near what it needs to be for these figures of positive cases to be of any use.

    The only real figures of any use are deaths and numbers in ICU at the minute. Is that not so?

    No didn't think so.

    Yeah 200 free beds up to 2 days ago what’s it at now :/:( the new cases numbers really mean nothing that’s 10% of the tests the labs are able to do coming up positive. Numbers won’t increase until capacity increases. Please god the measurements do show effect

    They had the pubs open 3 nights before this “lockdown”. Massive backtracking by them.

    well it's locked down now. The police has even been given special powers to restrict movement. Everybody got a text message an hour ago from the government to tell everyone to stay at home and a link to the gov.uk website. No softly softly, go to the church, see your family and collect a take away stuff at any rate.

    That sheet assumes everyone in ICU will stay in ICU. That won't be the case

    I know this post will be washed away in the flow very quickly but I want to apologise for being hostile and aggressive in some of my posts over the last few days. I was very unpleasant and rude to posters who didn't deserve it and I'm sorry to each of them for that.
    The constant stress does weigh on me a bit.
    It's easy to lash out here. Maybe better to do it here than in real life.
    Anyway, I'm glad this thread is here. It's a very frustrating time.

    It's roughly the same percentage of increase in numbers as all the European countries. Nothing to be getting carried away with. Doubling every 5 days approx.

    Serious capacity increase with the private hospitals coming on board today.

    Was there any update on the ages of the two people who passed yesterday with no underlying conditions?

    Is it not very odd that no details regarding age of people who passed yesterday have been released?

    If we keep up the testing and don't have 50,000 confirmed cases, and over 6,000 deaths in a month's time, you'd have to say we're doing a little better than Italy.

    So we're still on course for around 11k peak infected.
