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

    There are 5 confirmed recoveries in Ireland as of today's figures according to Worldometers

    I would say them figures are just NI, Scotland and Wales. England will be the real bad news.

    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.

    we have already gone past that number
    if you look at it any change takes 14 days to apply
    we pass that number on the 6th of April with the middle growth numbers

    Well complaining about people not focusing on the ICU figure when the ICU figure wasn't being released.


    We reacted too damn slow.

    Why has this turned into some kind of macabre competition?? We wish them well, they wish us well. Now just get over it.

    Because your mind turned it into a macabre competition. It's OK to be interested in the statistics around this. Pay attention and you mind learn something.

    Thanks,its a worry,as wife a smoker,50 % of seriuos cases in china were smokers.:(

    The fact your wife is a smoker should be a worry to you and your wife in the first place. Smoking causes cancer . Cancer kills people. But as humans when the danger is not an upfront and immediate danger we choose to ignore it. The same for alcohol abusers and obese people . This virus is a horrible thing dont get me wrong but most of the people that will have issues with it will indirectly because their immune systems are comprised due to bad habits they chose to bury their head in the sand over. This should be a wake up call to everyone who choose to live unhealthy .If covid 19 doesnt get you now your own bad habits will eventually

    Yes two hundreds or ten hundreds? Big difference!

    I think I read they had something like 250 available and were looking to double this

    I'd be cautiously optimistic the 700 will never be utilised : that would bring us up into the area of 35000 positive cases or something.

    I’ve been involved first hand this week again in a large hospital in Ireland. I’ve seen approx 60 patients with covid or ? Covid. I know some people here will scoff and call me a HSE shill and think I’m a wanker etc, but....

    The effort we are making (As we should) is ****ing massive. This week we treated 2 patients with expensive experimental trial drugs and they both are cautiously improving. People are being flexible accommodating and generally sound to work with. I said initially that we really do have some fantastic docs here. I stand by that. There is a unique Irish balance of attitude, practicality, common sense and surprising smartness that we hide a lot of the time.

    I sincerely hope it’s not a false optimism but I genuinely strive for us to look back at this and say we threw absolutely everything at it and we will compare favourably when we are looking back with the benefit of hindsight. It’s early early days. But we need to stop the exponential phase. Everybody needs to work really really hard at it.

    Have been watching from the start on RTE news twitter but no link put on the RTE news FB page when I checked in on it just there.

    We certainly will. Too slow to react. And we STILL want to import more people in from red zones to increase our numbers.

    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/ireland/

    As far as I know, 2 negative swab tests need to be done before someone can be confirmed recovered.

    Definitely hundreds : they've been working frantically on this for the last fortnight

    Was 255 and 51 more have been made available 301.

    “HSE making the best national use of the 2,500 beds and 150 ICU beds in private hospital settings”

    So 451 ICU so far

    But that assumes there's nobody in ICU with any other illness. Of course there will still be all the usual heart attacks etc in ICU too.

    Not going to be giving out names just profiling

    270 odd when they dust off the cobwebs off every icu public bed. 200 private beds with equipment to ventilate in an icu scenario.

    Theatres all have ventilators and we ordered hundreds more with more coming every week. We can ventilate people in theatre and theatre recovery. We will have the equipment to ventilate far more that just the number of icu beds. The issue is staffing which is being worked on.

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

    Its does seem that italy has a high death rate when it comes to the flue. Well over 1% when the USA has about 0.1% so there may be something else going on in Italy.

    Thank you for fighting for the rest of us. Whatever happens in the end, I don't think anyone will be credibly able to say our health professionals fell short on commitment.

    worldometer well behind, so.

    Is that the UKs worst day for deaths?

    So now you can't get tested unless you're seriously struggling to breathe and/or in a critical condition

    Pretty much have to be a hospital case now to be tested. Something a lot of people were sneering at U.K. for a day or two ago. Suddenly this is the right way to go.

    YOu always seem to accentuate the negative. Of course these are the confirmed recoveries from severe cases. No doubt plenty of people with mild symptoms have recovered.
