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

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

I don't know if it is a useful exercise but it's fashionable to hate PC so he's probably on a hiding to nothing.

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

heres the list it doesn't list off licences https://assets.gov.ie/71888/ad3d22b7619c4c5d8308d79a606508e5.pdf

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.

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 )

Too be macabre, the current deaths per million table:

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.

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.

i thought you wouldn't necessarily have a fever, Claire Byrne didn't have one

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

Closing offies means the big supermarkets will make a killing. Closing all offies including those in supermarkets would have led to the mother of all chaos, its would be like 9.59pm on Holy Thursday pre 2018 x 1000. There would be riots, it sounds rediculous and absurd but its the most practical solution.

With the delays in getting swabbed coupled with the delay in getting a result from that swab we dont have a clue where we really are with this thing.

The labs only have capacity to get results from 1350 tests per day. This means that unless we can increase that capacity we will sit on ~200 cases per day

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

The temperature thing could put a lot of people with other symptoms ringing the doctor.

I put my suspected case down to a cold as I had a cough for two weeks with no temperature,only when I was breathless one morning at work did I realise this isn't normal and called the doctor.

Nobody really believes thats all they had. They only tested people in hospital. Cant compare the 2

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.

It's a fair point. However urgent journeys still have to be made. Workers still working need to be able to reach their jobs if they are still working.

Assuming people are responsible and only travel as necessary public transport congestion should reduce. Then again as a society people arent responsible in general so steps may have to be taken.

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

The problem then is you force people who are using public transport to make essential journeys to travel during rush hour reducing social distancing.

I have moved to work from home. I travelled home with enough work (laptop printer client files etc) to keep me busy for maybe two weeks. When that time is up I will need to travel into the office with client files and pick up other files to keep work going. I would prefer to do an in out trip in the middle of the day when usage is lower. If I need to travel in at rush hour work the day in the office and travel out at rush hour I would be exposed to a lot more people.

The German economy was technically almost in recession before this even started. They have turned into a massive welfare state and are production economy. Not enough of their export products were being bought.

They had the pubs open 3 nights before this “lockdown”. Massive backtracking by them.

Yep they closed pubs on the 20th, we closed then 4 whole days earlier on the 16th. Was that massive backtracking by the Irish govt?

Remember 4 days before that (12th March) Leo was taking this all so seriously he was in the USA on a pre-paddy's day junket as he announced school closures and event closures (but no pub closures).

Was it 'massive backtracking' when 4 days later he closed the pubs?

And I have searched for Boris' statement that the UK was following a 'herd immunity' approach. Perhaps you can link to it, or one made by any member of the UK govt?

When the figures from China were compared over a number of days and combined with the emergence of international figures it was inevitable IMO. I did my ‘shop’ in late January. It ended up being useful as it covered me for stuff that I couldn’t get when the rush came a couple of weeks ago.
