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

He meant per capita which is true

I'd still be obliging to the social distance measures.

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.

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

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 )

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

yeah somebody asked holohan that and he said if you have symptoms isolate and call your doctor and they'll decide, its aimed at doctors filtering calls from public

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.

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.

Hand sanitiser needs to be 60% alcohol to be effective against CV

Would be useful to see how transmission works in the real world compaired to computer simulated. Might also show if there are certain groups that are more prone to spreading

I have to say I found tonight's briefing very reassuring

We're well below the projected figures we are testing more than other countries and we are doing ok

I'm three weeks wfh at the moment and honest to God if you told me three weeks ago my life would change this much I'd have laughed

I have to say I'm not a Leo fan but the two Simon's are fighting a blinder

Simon Harris looks unwell, I hope he is ok

From your link -

"1. Retail and wholesale sale of food, beverages and newspapers in non-specialised and
specialised stores;"

Number 1 beverages covers off licences.

Ah now, Germany benefits massively from the way the Eurozone is structured. Aside from this - their economy is essentially shutdown now and they too will need to bail out their economy on a massive scale. This virus is causing a severe global recession, no country will be spared.

Trying to cut numbers presenting for tests, mainly aimed at doctors, I think, to just authorise test for more serious cases.

Should have been policy all along, don't see why it wasn't, it surely would avoided the huge back log awaiting tests.

Any chance this will blow over in the next week to ten days? Getting the feeling we've seen the worst/won't effect us majorly.

No, there is literally no mathematical way that this blows over in a week to 10 days. And no, we havent dodged a bullet nor have we seen the worst of it yet either. Sorry, but no.

One person, or at most a small handful of people with the virus caused what is happening in Italy right now. We found 204 such cases today alone. We might not become Italy if people observe social distance and self isolation, but this virus isnt going to get tired and just bugger off. We *hope* this will be a long haul, because otherwise its a very short and very fatal haul.

Stay in. Stay Clean. You want none of this thing.

They should not get a cent unless they live within their means. We had this in 2010, they were told to reform the way they manage their economies. Italy refuses to reform hence why they have no fiscal space to manage any crisis.

Leave it to the IMF to sort it out. No money without reform.

94% of tests negative.
98% of confirmed cases are not critical.

Brilliant stats it must be said.

The test criteria was too loose. Cough was enough. That has changed now again this evening afaik
