The UK are saying that have ordered 3.5m 15 minute home testing kits. These will be tested using the standard test initially before a full rollout.

If they are accurate then it is a game changer

The only difference is that they have a current WHO person advising them directly.

Who?

I read that they were still taking a softer approach, long after others have done a 180 on the same. What do they think is unique about their country that hasn't worked elsewhere?

No idea.

They are allowing public gatherings of up to 500 people! :eek: Anything over is banned.

The head of their public health agency said the country "cannot take draconian measures that have a limited impact on the epidemic but knock out the functions of society".

Is Adare Manor his, could some closed hotels be opened for quarantine isolation positive carriers or even as hospitals for serious cases but would mean more health care workers needed

Wrong.

Governors have a lot of power in these times, its up to Governor Cuomo to decide whether or not New York state can re-open, not Trump.

Netherlands have 80 new deaths today, only 3 recoveries according to worldometer.

It could indeed. Everybody is watching everybody else to see what works.

I'm curious how Conor will get round it is all.

"Buying them" isn't the problem , taking delivery is.

Don't get me wrong - Him spending his own money is fantastic and he's a guy that I'd have absolutely zero time for generally so fair play to him for the donation , but any suggestion that the Rich/Famous can get any of this stuff faster than Governments just isn't true.

Yeh thats true, would be interesting to see a growth chart of Dublin beside the rest of the country. Dublin is probably much closer to the 30% growth rate than the rest of Ireland

Exactly. That's why I never believed the 15k figure. They were forecasting from the Italian figures but if you look how people live in Southern Mediterranean countries its mainly in Apartment blocks. I remember watching a documentary about SARS and they showed how it spread through apartment blocks. Most people in Ireland even in Dublin live in Semi-D or detached houses. That's why the figures will be a lot lower. It's safe to say even at present the figures aren't much to do with the measures put in place but more to do with our population and population density.

At Federal level yes but each state still has a lot of power, each state basically sets it's own domestic policy for the state. For example a U.S. state would have much more power in the U.S. than say Scotland would have in the U.K.

Only England though, not up here in NI.

explain the dramatic drop in A&E numbers?

I bet given access we would see a dramatic drop in referral letters to them.

There is simply no other explaination then less referrals from gp's to them.

Great post regarding the sudden drop off in hospital numbers as soon as this crisis hit. The GPs were sent a directive to stop sending non medical emergencies to our hospitals. For obvious reasons I can't post the source up on an internet forum. When this crisis has passed I truly hope that the HSE, the government, and the GPs get together and deal with the amount of people clogging up the service with minor ailments allowing our A and E departments to deal with real true emergencies and not having to deal with all the time wasting that was going on before. Let's hope something positive comes out of it anyway.

In the UK they are have distribution problems. That is to say they have warehouses of the ppe but they are only now putting in place a system whereby hospitals can order from the warehouses holding the equipment. This meant manufacturers had them and were making more than the government wanted but it wasn't getting to the front line.

In that case ppe got to the front line quicker from medical staff tweeting there was a problem and rich people buying from the manufacturers rather than the hospital ordering from NHS warehouses.

I guess full ppe was always so far outside the normal.

I wonder if we have the same issue?

yes - and the States have a lot of control over their local health system.
there's no "Federal Health Service". it's very much on a State level.

So Cuomo does have a lot of power.

Yes, the masks are accounted for.
They'll be waiting longer for another 100,000 if they ask tomorrow. Millions are required.
What type of mask do you know?

I'd love to know what they were doing in the HSE procurement admin side in the run up to this. They have known for quite a while and I have seen the staff call outs on twitter for PPE, with some of their accounts shut down albeit temporarily.

To answer your question. You may know some of these.

O'Neill's in Strabane have reopened their production line, 2 days ago, to manufacture PPE for the NI Trusts. https://twitter.com/ONeills1918

So the years of blaming the government for the trolley crisis was actually all lies??

Interesting.

Had to attend Naas A&E last night at my GPs incisteance, was very nervous going in but there were only 2 people in front of me and I was home 3 hours later after getting bloods, ECG etc done. It's amazing how people use A&E unnecessarily. Wouldn't it be great if that changed after this.

iwillyeah1234 · 25-03-2020 04:39PM

am VERY impressed with Cuomo on this presser.

He's really getting into the weeds, and the details. VERY on top of his brief.

Possible - That's where the Army/Civil defence etc. can be hugely helpful.

Northern Ireland have put out their numbers earlier than usual today, there are now the same number of deaths there as there was in ROI yesterday (7). They have tested 3,372 people and have 209 confirmed cases.

Ireland has completed 17,992 tests as at midnight on the 23rd

Seems pretty concerning that NI are now level on deaths with the South
