I wonder if any shed company is now advertising, "As seen on the Claire Byrne Live show!"?

No idea. You should pitch it to some of them.

I've a still in the shed. Can't decide whether to make hand gel or poitín.

The Eurozone once again showing what a shoddy construct it is by planning to use its bailout funds to bail out Europe's feckless economies.

If they managed their affairs properly like Germany bailouts would not be required because they would have to space to handle the problem.

Same thing over and over again.

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.

Saw this in RTE news!
This is ridiculous!

Pubs are closed.

Do you want the alcohol dependent people causing trouble along with all the rest of our problems?

Also those of us who like a quiet drink at home have to buy it.

As long as the distancing measures are in place it should be ok.

What I took from the briefing

Currently getting lab results for 1350 test per day
This will increase by a further 750 results per day over the next few days when more labs come online

There have been ~18000 test results with total positive @ 1329

Backlog was sidestepped on numerous occasion, but DR.T mentioned 20,000 referrals/day....

I didnt catch how many swabs tests are being done per day?

Dr.T mentioned that we are up with the top countries in the world when it came to testing (???? Where did he come up with this) and if we tested at the rate we are receiving tests we would be testing the most people per capita in the world

Dr Cillian De Gascun, Director of the National Virus Reference Laboratory, said that in relation to the almost 18,000 tested for the virus to date, all of these patients have got their results.

That's not the case. I know that for certain in the case of a few people swabbed and waiting on results with 4 days now.

rossie1977 · 24-03-2020 10:43PM

It's early yet but right now we seem to be trending more towards Austria and Norway mortality rates or just a little higher.

After 1,400 confirmed cases China, Italy, Spain, UK, France had 4-5 times as many deaths.

1,329 confirmed cases...24 days after our 1st confirmed case. Compare that to Italy...they had 150 confirmed cases 24 days after their first.

When Italy had 1,128 confirmed cases there was 29 deaths..

Supermarket

In fairness, supermarkets and off licences aren't always the same. Some off licences would carry a lot more craft beer for example, and those breweries are going to be seriously hit if off licences are closed.

Nijmegen · 24-03-2020 10:43PM

I actually agree with keeping off licenses open. Having a drink helps many people relax (I know it doesn't help others) and is a normal little luxury we can afford ourselves. Allowing people to only purchase in supermarkets will see people making trips to concentrated outlets that might otherwise be spread out, reducing the population density (if you like) on Friday and Saturday nights in particular if we keep the offos open.

yeah. i have a worm and barrels . So if you turn up at my gaff with bottles of whiskey (jameson) I'll make you hand sanitiser

He meant per capita which is true

Smaller countries seem to pick up milder cases earlier. With bigger populations they are obviously dealing with the most serious ones. The death rates will come down in those countries. Aggressive early testing leads to lower death rate too(Sinapore, South Korea, Germany )

24-03-2020 10:47PM

We seem on top of it imo. Early days obviously.

The 18k figure is the number tested who have received results, as of midnight last night I think.

Am I alone in thinking that public transport is probably the single most common way in which a virus is spread. You are in a confined space for a considerable length of time with up to 100 other humans.
That’s what needs to be shut down.

I reckon it should only be running in the mornings for the work-run and the evenings for the trip home.

Public transport has been empty by all accounts.

Retail and wholesale sale of beverages in specialised stores surely covers off-licences?
