CoVid19 Part X - 1,564 cases ROI (9 deaths) 209 in NI (7 deaths) (25 March) Read OP

Should we not be seeing a few more recoveries by now? It's been 5 for almost a week. I know the numbers in ICU will increase but in time some will be moved out when their condition improves freeing up a bed.

stephenjmcd · 24-03-2020 09:58PM

Change in case definition for a test.

As expected a large number of people simply with a cough or even a bit of a head cold looking for testing.

Must have 2 symptoms now, previously cough or fever, now both.

true it's not 100% right but the time in ICU is 14-20 days if they don't die in the first 3-4 days, over a 3-4 week gap it does not make much difference

Na. It isn't. Once they are stable and recovering, they'll be hoofed back down to ward level.

It's based on not much more than 2,000 daily tests. The increase is limited by virtue of the number of test results they can process. It looks like, at present, around 10% of those being tested are positive. If they get it up to 4,500 tests a day I would guess we may well be seeing something like 450 daily increases. The other thing that may influence the figures is as they start prioritising medical staff, but I'm not sure which way, if any, that may change the reported numbers

I wonder are they testing on a First In, First Out basis or are they triaging it? I'd say they must be, and so perhaps that is driving up the positive rate. They did comment that a lot more of the Worried Sick were coming forward lately.

I think that the trend towards 20% is positive but the reality is that it's admissions to hospital and ICU that are likely the far better indicator of where we are on this, as they can't hide in a backlog.

The first case was detected 3 weeks ago and since then there are 7 dead and only 5 recovered. This is quite scary.
It's very hard to believe the Chinese figures since they don't follow the trend of other countries.

The recovered figures aren’t being updated and people who have tested positive that aren’t in hospital aren’t being retested to confirm they have recovered. Claire Byrne and the lad from kodaline said the same

Britain 66 million.
Ireland 5 million
66/5= 13

Britain coronavirus deaths: 424
Ireland coronavirus deaths: 7
424/7= 60

Pro rata, Ireland should have 37 deaths.

What are we doing right or what are they doing wrong? Or what have they done wrong more likely.

How many days are we behind the UK in terms of receiving first case?

Does the 167 in hospital include the 56 in ICU or are those numbers in addition to each other?

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

Why? Does it make you feel better if they are older and you can not be as vigilant anymore?

With an inevitable "waste" of resources as many will be worried well, or have nothing other than a standard bug.

Absolutely - just not in groups of more than 4.

More than four allowed if all part of the same household.

The Uk has roughly the same population at France, but half the number of fatalities.

I think that is the most telling stat.

Still I wait for my results, I nearly have the 14 days quarantine completed since my return from Spain. My cough cleared up today and I feel good, even the tiredness has gone. My GP rang today, but that was for my PS number, that must be so they can claim for referring me for testing. One thing, If I do, test positive, is it 14 days quarantine from onset of symptoms? If so, I would have a few more days to do.

Images from a housing estate in Donnycarney appear to show a group of 20+ gathered as if there's a party. Marshall law more appealing by the minute :mad:

Is there somewhere I can watch the on-going press conference. A rerun?

It's got a grip in London. It makes more sense to compare the NI numbers, where deaths are not very far adrift. The Irish Sea does offer us some protection

No, I ask because up to yesterday they gave the gender and age of people who passed then didn’t yesterday for some reason.

You had every hypochondriac in the country seeking testing. Of course they were overwhelmed.

But I thought the fever , if it comes, takes 5+ days to manifest. And fever isn't afaik seen in everyone.

I would term it the 'Brexit' mentality, people who don't like being told what to do and think they know better.

This,

Where is there anything about changing definition for a test?
Can’t see it from any sources?

ACitizenErased · 24-03-2020 10:04PM

Anyone worrying about ICU beds at 35 people rn needs to calm a little bit. My father is a senior executive in the HSE, and he has told me that ICU numbers are approaching 3 times what we had before this.
