    Several stories on the news of people purposely coughing in other people's faces for a laugh? Is this for real? People like that need to be rounded up and culled.

    If somebody does that to me, given the current situation, I am taking treating as a threat against my life (and my family's lives) and will be letting the fists fly (even on teenagers).

    What are people's thoughts on these stories and how are they planning on reacting if this situation happens to them?

    Hearing plenty of stories like this, seems to be a big joke to some people. If someone does it to me, they’d better pray the gardai are close by to pull me away from them or they’ll be getting body bagged on the side of the street.

    After seeing the trolley numbers today I'm starting to think they are all exaggerated and really just morons fault.

    Personal responsibility.

    I think that's called victim blaming. Not so long ago there were 80 something year olds dying on trolleys in the hospital.
    They are still dead

    Jesus christ. Getting worse.

    It was always expected to be. The virus spread can only be slowed down not stopped completely.

    507011.PNG

    Slow Change
    507012.PNG

    Big Drop in numbers
    507013.PNG

    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

    No I don’t think you can brush it away as easy as that - I think we have certain people in this country who go to a&e for a sore finger, clogging the system up. Amazing that the numbers drop so drastically when they are warned to stay the **** away.

    That will happen sooner rather than later and some young idiot will get a thumping.

    That's, what, a 1.3% death rate vs. Italy's 11%? I guess it could be worse for the U.S.

    Well Cuomo in NY made it pretty clear that their heath system is not yet at capacity, though they expect to exceed capacity in about 8 or 9 days time. That could change things in that hot spot unless there's some significant interventions.

    The count in the US is still small for the overall population. I wonder, what was Italy's death rate when their confirmed case count was under 200 cases per million? That would have been around the 10,000 - 12,000 level.

    187 new and 13 deaths so far

    Are the UK doing an excellent job of dealing with this, I can understand the low cases because of testing but deaths would be higher to hide.

    These figures were mentioned yesterday. My understanding of the figures were that they were in relation to the contact tracing. As in each person diagnosed, had approx. 20 contacts and now contact tracing is slightly slimmer with approximately 5 contacts per diagnosed person.

    Means nothing when there are construction sites still open with 600+ Employees there, how could you contact trace that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,185 ✭✭✭✭tom1ie


    We have or will shortly the capacity to ventilate 600 or so patients. Final logistics still being worked on. 270 or so public. 200 private. Then it goes to theatre / war zone mode with more vents coming all the time.

    We need to stop the exponential growth. That’s the key.

    Thanks for that info.
    So we’ve 39 in icu with capacity for 600 max.
    So we are at 6.5% of icu capacity.
    With a max capacity of 470 (public +private beds) we are at 8.3%.
    (Someone check my maths please!)
    This is the number to keep an eye on. If we go above 100% we r fooked.

    cases are vastly unreported so its nowhere that high of a death rate.

    It was always expected to be. The virus spread can only be slowed down not stopped completely.

    People still die from Flu
    People still die from Cancer
    People still die from AIDS (in poorer countries mostly)

    Unfortunately Coronavirus will be with us indefinitely even in a post vaccine world just like the aforementioned illnesses above.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,029 ✭✭✭xabi


    Do they remove the recovered cases from the total, I would like to see what the total known active cases are.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 401 ✭✭soiseztomabel


    Little knacks, cop a beating then play the innocent little victim

    The 187 is only Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, the figures from the rest of England are not in yet. There will be a much more substantial number once they are.
