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.

I think in the North and in England, there is no community testing. They only test if patients who are admitted to hospital.

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

I briefly tuned into Matt Cooper there this evening, and apparently someone doing some of the testing texted in to say that 10 people didn't show to appointments on Sunday.
What an almighty waste of time and resources....

Deaf Irish Sign Language user here. It's very complex interpreting a visual language into a spoken one and vice versa. Different part of the brain is used. It gets very tiring. The quality of the interpretation deteriorates hence them swapping. They usually work in pairs , interpreting for twenty minutes at a time.

The general public does not really know the full extent of previous oppressive state and church policies regarding the Deaf community. Irish Sign Language, once banned from use, was recognised as an official native language of Ireland in 2017, hence why we can access this information in our own language now. It is the native language of the Deaf community and has been in existence for hundreds of years. Sign Languages are full languages, just like spoken ones. Every native one is different, with dialects, regional variations, accents and so on. Deaf people tend to have very poor English literacy here due to the previous education system and because of the disparities between spoken and visual languages. After all they cannot hear it being spoken, yet are expected to understand. Getting information in our own language is best for us however, it is not easily accessible.

And no, it is not Lámh. I really wish people would educate themselves on that. Lámh is a made up form of communication. It was put together in the 1980s by a group of academics. It consists of single ISL signs (i think 500) simplified and paired with spoken English. They have something similiar in the UK, it is called Makaton and consists of single British Sign Language signs paired with spoken English. Deaf people do not speak when signing as it is a silent, visual, expressive language consisting of movements that include the face,lips,eyes, hands and body. In fact the majority of Deaf people are prelingually deaf and have never heard a spoken language being spoken. Irish Sign Language is their first and native language. Lámh is a communication tool, not language and is used for hearing children who are non verbal or have intellectual disabilities and have difficulties expressing themselves.

Good start hopefully we really are going the Singapore route. The clustering on the Singapore dashboard is quite good. Also the case level information around how long people are in hospital and ICU etc.

Check it out.

So, I still can't understand this. Or maybe I can.

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.

Population density and more uncertainty of the strategy to take

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

I think that is the most telling stat.

I think it started earlier in France, maybe U.K. is a week behind france

While it's good to have this information, it's like a TY project. The county graph is particularly awful.

Doesn't the amount of people testing positive mean next to nothing seeing as our testing system has been a disaster so far (understandable given the circumstances) It's not working well enough yet for the numbers to mean anything at all.

The most positive thing is the rate of deaths and those in ICU. Are these running at a slower rate than that of Italy and Spain I wonder? It does seem we haven't been doing to bad in this regard and this must give some hope?

Sure with the waiting lists to get tested they may have recovered before getting tested.

Holohan although saying he hadn't seen paddy Cosgraves tweets, called it out for what it is, disgraceful and a breach of privacy

Harry Palmr · 24-03-2020 10:08PM

Mention of a high profile person on Twitter revealing info about a deceased person.

Hi Berties

i total agree, the number are conservative, i put up number last night with higher numbers, it to show that any change in how people meet and deal with others needs to be put in place at least 14 days before you see the affect

blackcard · 24-03-2020 10:08PM

When Tony Holohan talks about 5 contacts per case, does he mean that the person who tested positive had only been in contact with 5 people after being tested?

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.

I feel feel the tests are taking too long to come and people described as above won’t take it seriously. That’s the fundamental difference, we aren’t quarantined here where as far people with a temperature were likely packed away and quarantined in China to protect others.

Some people just don’t take it seriously at all. I’m sure people like this person described is out using ATM machines etc

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.

was that Paul Cullen Irish Times that asked that question which document did he spot the change in I don't see it here https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/coronavirus.html

it is here

Ireland has adopted the World Health Organisation case definition for COVID-19; A patient with fever and at least one sign of respiratory disease e.g. cough, shortness of breath.

Can you still have sex during this pandemic or is that a breach of social distancing?
