Have the US daily increases just fallen off a cliff? Like ten times lower than yesterday.

They'll surpass italy by tomorrow. China within 1 to 2 days after. But its ok, it'll be all done by Easter, Easter is a beautiful date.

INMO Trolley Watch figures for March 25th 2020

https://www.inmo.ie/Trolley_Ward_Watch

Only 12 beds short today.

Lets be honest.

This crisis has shown some people in this country to be ignorant of their fellow people and timewasters.

Wonder what else the government gets blamed for but is really just morons causing the problem.

The testing numbers remain the same. I would imagine we are hoping to test more at a higher risk and less at a lower test.

The targets to ramp up testing have remained the same.

According to various news reports yesterday, China kept some 40,000 symptom-less positive cases off their stats, so their true number maybe was 120,000 cases and not 80,000. If we are associating the relevant symptoms with possibly having CV so you subsequently get a test, and excluding those potential positives with no symptoms, isn't getting the whole thing under control harder if as many as one third are potentially symptom-less carriers?

Not yet, but the rate of new infections is higher.

They are praying here the peak comes this week.

I have heard though that the peak in Spain won't be till late April, I find that hard to believe since we've been in lockdown for almost 10 days.

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.

i dunno we were sent to crumlin with our chap for tonsilitis at a point when it was abundantly clear covid was around.

they had us in and out of there in no time,

that said, it is a new gp, and I think 50% of our visits to her have been referred onwards to A&E, sigh

(my wife is pregnant, so sometimes i suppose it's necessary)

Looks like I'm contact tracing from Friday. Delighted to be able to do something.

I am in biopharma myself and not med devices so no expert in ventilators. But my experience of pharmaceuticals tells me we import majority of raw materials required to make our products. How different is that in the med device sector? I wonder where all the parts, raw materials etc come from to make those ventilators because if we play games like that we could find ourselves not able to make any ventilators.

All parts for those ventilators are imported. They are only assembled here

There will surely have to be an analysis of the total drop off in figures attending A/E. Hopefully.

I doubt many attend A/E with cancer symptoms. Usually there is something not right, off to GP, then tests, then treatment. All outside A/E system.

Most Cancer treatments have been cancelled which is pretty poor. Is it now that someones life who has cancer is valued below that of someone with COVID. There was a 38yr old woman with 3 kids on the radio earlier who is only staying alive because of her chemo treatments but they have been cancelled indefinitely. Thats a bloody stupid trade off.

Who is Paddy?

As to why Ireland would be more reluctant, if a company is fully German or Spanish owned it is easier. Ireland hasn't that many indigenous industry.

If 1,000's of people die in this country, because they didn't have enough ventilators to treat them. And we sent 1,000's of ventilators on planes to the U.S during this crisis... nobody is going to care what the name of the company was, or who owns it...

The woman on the radio said a nurse called her and was in tears as she had to inform a number of people of the same news.

It's certainly not true in all cases, I know someone having Chemo who is still being treated. Maybe it depends on the location/hospital? People are still dealing with the illnesses that were there pre-Covid19 and shouldn't be ignored, especially cancer treatment.

Sure going at 6% only 2,400 would have the virus.

They have failed with what they tried to do, time to acknowledge that and move on.

Anyone trying to put a spin on it is to be ignored IMO.

I don't know where you're getting 6% from but that would mean a 94% negative rate which would be a waste of tests.

I don't know how you can say they have failed when it's still a work in progress.

We're only at the beginning of this.

There are people whose cancer treatment can wait as they aren't high risk but this woman was stage 4 and the only thing keeping her alive was suppressing the disease with chemo. Shes certainly not one that should have been cancelled regardless of which hospital she attends.

Distribution of laboratory confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the EU/EEA and the UK, as of 25 March 2020 @ 08:00 hrs.

The barchart no longer seems to be on an exponential trajectory upwards for daily cases in Europe. Maybe even leveling off thanks to the mitigation efforts.

However approx 23,000 cases per day is not good.

Best man for the HSE job alright.

What we need is a man who will charge money for hospital admissions and even more if you want a bed, respirator, room, or nurse.

only 9.99 for testing and 49.99 to get results.

bekker · 25-03-2020 04:27PM

Why are we testing?

What purpose is it suppose to serve?

How does being tested benefit either the individual, or society at large, if the results are irrelevant to speed of treatment, and the data from them meaningless?

See what the HSE says is the reason.

Getting a test for coronavirus
Phone your GP. Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. The GP will assess you over the phone.

If they think that you need to be tested, they will arrange a test for you.

Caring for yourself at home
About 80% of people can recover from coronavirus at home and without needing to go to hospital.
...
If you are generally fit and healthy with only mild symptoms of coronavirus, your GP will tell you to self-isolate at home.

If your symptoms get worse
Contact your GP if your symptoms don't improve after 14 days.

If you are in an at-risk group, you should keep a close eye on your symptoms. Contact your GP straight away if they get worse.

Spain also raided medical factories, and requisitioned vital equipment that they needed. And they are absolutely correct to do so, in this type of emergency situation!

But Paddy? Nope... Paddy puts ventilators on a plane to New York!

I warned several journalists about a week and a half ago.
