Not sure if this has been posted already. Shows the effect of making private hospitals public. Made by u/IrishDataViz on the r/Ireland subreddit.

I'm quite ok with them falling down a flight of stairs a few times.

High probability restrictions extended past April 19?

Workplaces mid May...beginning of June

Schools September

Schools were the first to be shut and last to reopen

My gut feeling only

I do believe A LOT depends on the next 2 -3 weeks.I'd love to be able to hop ahead and see where this country is come April 15th I do so hope it's good news

Hold on a sec.

We have 1329 positive cases.

If that's 4% then the overall number of tests should be 33,000 not 14,692.

Also, many test are repeat tests on the same person to see if they are clear.

What am I missing here?

That's UCDs lab. There's other labs too.

We have 7000 ish serving members of the defence forces. They can't lock down a single city never mind the entire country. We require that the good will of the population is maintained and that people observe the restrictions through social pressure rather than strict enforcement by the security services

The Defence forces and reserves and Civil defence would be much more useful in a supporting role, transporting essential equipment and personel, distributing food and medical supplies to people who cannot leave their homes, and to places like nursing homes and high dependency units

Even with reserves called-up, we'd be doing very well to deploy over 3,000, e.g. manning checkpoints and patrolling, for any period of time exceeding 7-10 days.

Thelonious Monk · 25-03-2020 02:35PM

Yeah it really sucks, we just had the worst 6 months or so weather I can remember, and now we're going to miss spring and summer, and we can't even jet abroad for a sunny break. Oh the humanity!

That's a combination of A. People being good but sadly B. Not testing.

ICU and hospital admissions are the only real reliable figures from now on.

Yes this is what I think the important information is but unfortunately there is a lag by a few weeks so it’s not an accurate reflection on how we behave now.

The testing is important as it means people can be contact traced and self isolate. This seems to be scaling back now too so this won’t happen as much. Is that a fair assumption?

Many people don’t have symptoms which is more dangerous than having symptoms in my opinion as they’ve no reason to self isolate, they are walking to food shops etc obvious and some even going to places of work dealing with public.

I think the above is why everyone should really have a mask, to protect spreading it as opposed to themselves but we don’t have the resources to do that.

I hope we have the resources to help staff in hospitals fighting this but also to protect them.

Again China locked down the epicentre. Wuhan, Ireland leave it's Epicentre Dublin as a free for all, public transport running ,and zero lockdown. It's a case of allowing things to get out of hand in Dublin, and then locking it down.
Trump is right, you can't treat a whole country the same as the epicentre in that country, London another epicentre , they are in for a world of pain. Tube running, buses running, CRAZY.
sHORT TERM pain is better than long term pain. We should be on top of it by now, but we're not, as Dublin is not locked down,

Just got a notification from the Guardian for this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/25/uk-coronavirus-mass-home-testing-to-be-made-available-within-days
15 minute home test that is to be distributed by Amazon and made available for purchase in chemists by the public in the UK- "that could restore many people’s lives to a semblance of pre-lockdown normality" - available by next week they hope.

Game changer or false hope from an overly excited article? Says that many other countries are also ordering the tests.

The nvrl doesn't do all the tests.

There's been about 18000 total tests. Over the last week 6% was positive and 94% negative.

They have tested nearly 15,000 samples out of 18,000?.

The maths are still way off.

We have one lab doing all the community cases. The in hospital labs are being used for hospital testing but they have their other stuff to do too afaik.

Would like to see anyone caught, being prosecuted, having criminal record & never being able to work in the public sector or get a passport for at least 10 years.

Should be zero tolerance being applied.... might soften their coughing!

What kind of stupidity have we in our country....

I've been the subject of fake coughing twice by small groups of teenagers in the past two days. Luckily not in my direct space. Still their ignorance is incredible.

I'm confused but humor me
Surely tests are only good for a day or two.You could test negative on a Monday and be Positive on the Friday?

Vaccine!!

Not sure these regional labs are good to go yet.
At the moment we can do a max of 1500 lab test a day.
That was 1000 a week ago.

How did they perform a minimum of 33,000 lab tests (remember there is a lot of repeat testing on the same patient) to get 1326 confirmed cases in three weeks?

Lies and false information constantly being fed into this thread.

The NVRL are the ONLY ones doing community lab tests.

The hospitals are ONLY doing tests for the staff ad infected patients followup.

You only learned about that when I told you. Up to that you were talking nonsense. The stuff you "think" is not relevant to the thread.

I can't see restrictions being lifted until we reach China type levels of low infection, ie single digit figures per day. But that is also conditional on the rest of the world getting this under control, otherwise we import cases.

So very little chance of restrictions lifted any time soon, especially given our inability to ban or isolate travellers from hotpot areas.

I cannot speak to the authenticity nor do I give a Fvck what it is you think of Mcgregor.
I think it is great if he is in fact purchasing sought after PPE for medics.

this is correct

not sure why they are doing it like that but they are

There are bound to be shortages in routine equipment and supplies used in these test also give the massive ramp up in the overall levels of testing going on

So maybe there is lab capacity there but thats not the limiting factor

Wombatman · 25-03-2020 02:47PM

Sorry 6% a need for 22,00 lab tests. My bad.

No Change in number

Slow Change

Big Drop in numbers

some people asked about the ICU beds that would be free after recovery
I have add that and a death rate of 0.5%

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

I have added an version that people can edit if they link
