Pence talking like New York is the epicentre, Trump talks of opening up huge parts of US at Easter, isolating New York it seems

It would make sense to have certain states more open than others, depending on how many cases they're suffering from. Right now, it looks like New York is certainly one of the epicentres in the U.S., so naturally they would experience more of a lockdown.

New York state all in including NYC?

If yes do they have a DR site to take over from wall street?

If going to the supermarket was such a risky thing to do then surely some country by now would have figured that out through their contact tracing and changed things to deliverys only, or you have to stand at the door and someone else goes and fetches stuff from the shelves for you whilst you stay in your car with your windows up and they then drop the bags in your boot for you.

Yes, keep your distance in supermarkets, don't breath on people, reduce contact as much as possible. But if there were contact tracing being done and the only link they could find between cases was someone going to the local Tesco 6 hours after a known case then things would be very very different... and it would already be too late for all of us.

They have suggested deliveries but there just isn't the capacity and unfortunately people need to get their food somewhere. Anyway I think you misunderstood me as I was using them as an example of the numbers racking up easily in daily life. Also the contact tracing wouldn't pick this up, as there are many cases now origin unknown community acquired etc.

Of course keep your distance it will reduce your risk in a Supermarket but not eliminate it.

We should be going the same, Dublin is clearly the problem in Ireland. And still its open for business, flying everyone and anyone from UK and Europe into it.

Is anyone else just in total shock that this is happening and how suddenly it came along? I forget about it then remember that its happening all over again a minute after my alarm goes off every morning, its absolutely mad when you think about it. Bill Gates was warning us we were completely unprepared for a pandemic in his TED talks from 2015 onwards.

Imagine if this was some kind of airborne Ebola that was actually killing 90% of the people who got it, society would just collapse.

No Change in number

Slow Change

Big Drop in numbers

again with all of this i'm just trying to show people the 14 day delay in an change in how we deal with this
if you wait till we are overloaded it's too late
everyone has to make up there own mind but at least look at the maths

3 weeks no change 42K
3 weeks slow change 23K
3 weeks big drop 9K

1 month no change 241K
1 month slow change 56K
1 month big drop 11K

you need to decide what you do today to affect 3 weeks from now

Interesting chart but incomplete without projected recoveries and deaths.

and that's trump's thinking the last few days too by the way. he's probably going to pull back most control measures in a few weeks when they haven't even reached their peak yet. it's going to get very ugly there if he goes through with it and make italy look like a bad flu season.

Tucker Carlson had the dignity to be unimpressed, at least.

Would people stop quoting massive pictorial posts just to add one line of text - ridiculous

The difference is our public transport at least in Dublin is pretty much empty now, the tube at least in London still looks to be absolutely heaving.

Even a quarter empty luas carriage is risky. I wouldn't touch any surface inside a luas. You only have to look at the Diamond Princess to see how covid spreads in shared areas, surfaces and in the air. Another lesson ignored by western European countries. They shut down everything except the most likely cause of spread such as the Tube or Luas. Private cars are far safer for the remaining workers.

Suddenly how? Its called Covid 19. Its been known about since 2019!

I would say my trains today had about 10-20% of normal passengers expect it to be less tomorrow

New York is already shut down. Most working from home. No bars open etc.
Not much different to here. We aren't shut down either.
Nice broad statement though.

New York is not the US. By all accounts the Democrat leaders in these cities are doing good.

I don’t know why gettin in on fifth count has been seen as a bad thing?do people not understand how our pr election system works?

The_Brood · 24-03-2020 11:32PM

One thing I'm not finding information on after today's news is how long have work from home measures been extended by? In the initial announcement a few weeks ago they were only scheduled until 27 March, but as evident this lockdown is continuing past that. By have they announced a new date for when non essential staff are asked to work from home if they can?

There are far fewer people flying in than that statement would suggest. Anyone flying into the country at the moment is more-than-likely a citizen returning home.

No, he said 22nd-23rd in the NVRL and that 18000 have received results. They also mentioned the 20000 a day looking for tests, which from the perspective of this are not practical or useful to test. I think they expect their new definitions to have much higher level of positives.

Doesnt make sense

Yes it will take time to get through the backlog.

When the service meets demand, there will be no waiting to be tested.

And results should be turned around within 2 days. It will become a rotuine test, like other laboratory services.

We're still in the early stages of setting up the process.
