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?

Had only been in contact with 5 people prior to asking to be tested. Close contacts. 5 is a very very good sign.

Does this surprise you? No shows are a huge problem in the health service as well as morons who rock up to A&E that shouldn't be there.

Holahan & co doing a good job.

Good they want to get more testing & contact tracing. That is just as important as social distancing.

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

I think that is the most telling stat.

As long as ur better than france you have no worries

Looking at this from a numbers view we probably have one in every 300 people with the virus now (most not tested or showing). This means that on average if you cross paths with 300 people in the day you are likely to contact one with the virus. More likely in Cities. Limit exposure by keeping away from people or where many people have recently been. Supermarkets must be avoided as much as possible and all care taken when you have to go.

Or if considering taking a long haul flight or working as cabin crew that’s one passenger.

You should just stick to doing it with your hand to be sure, should be safe enough. Make sure to wash hands before and after to minimise risk.

I wonder did a number of those people not actually make it to testing and end up in hospital instead?
if you're in need of hospital treatment, you're not going to hang around waiting for a test first, and going by the other thread, there's a long wait.

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

Yeah I agree. The amount of people who show up in work who are clearly quite sick with no regard for their colleagues health. They can work from home but don't. Don't visit the doctor even though there is clearly something wrong with them. I don't know if its the cost of a doctors visit or what.

Those are the kinda people who I'm terrified of.
"Sure I'll just go to the gym"
"Sure it's just a cough"

Approaching manslaughter in this current climate. Delay in testing is aiding and abetting.

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.

yup. a bad miscalculation that has clogged up our testing regime and lost us valuable time. most saw this coming.

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

I think they need to put this everywhere with 2 levels of severity, low for following the HSE guidelines and high for acting like a complete fool and queuing for fish and chips. The difference between a 17% increase daily and let's say 40% increase daily is massive in the long run.

Go away. You are obviously easily offended so best to not engage with me lest you get offended or even worse you might get upset.
You keep popping up whinging about posters. Mute me. Thanks

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.

London has a population of 8.9 million people who are densely packed together. New Zealand has the same population as Ireland and no deaths. Croatia lower population than Ireland and only 1 death.
