    UK reports 1,427 new cases of coronavirus and 87 new deaths

    FFS people need to stop posting yesterdays figures and misleading information.

    YOu always seem to accentuate the negative.

    I accentuate the facts. If there are 500 confirmed recoveries tomorrow i'll say so.

    Stop being so negative.

    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.

    Older population, on average. Italians live significantly longer.

    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.

    Our contact cases are now less. We have a negative result of 94%, so no point in wasting tests on someone that had it 8 days ago.

    If your a mild case you know what to do now also. You should roughly know where you got it from as we are in isolation

    You want them to start guessing now!!!!:eek: They report on confirmed numbers

    They keep side stepping the question on it. They shut up shops etc on guesstimates not on a few hundred confirmed cases.

    I stand to be corrected on this

    I dunno,

    Im by no means a violent person, but im pretty sure if a little scrote coughed in the face of my elderly parents, they'd be getting a punch very soon afterwards.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    next week before they can give the age profile of the dead, gdpr is just a load of ****e now ,9 casualties, age profile within 10 years would not take long to give

    I don’t understand this, if someone is killed on the road you will have a name the following day at the latest why is this different.

    Following the HSE testing logic ad nauseam.

    In order to really maximise positive results we should test people who had respiratory symptoms and who subsequently died.
    That would maximise the probability of a test being positive.

    I think this could be used as a good indicator of how it will effect a country in general
    It's not the flu but it infects like the flu does and causes similar complications. At present 2.5% of infected population seem to be in ICU this seems ok for now. At this time we are doing 100 times better than we could have hoped for.

    Because it's not contagious and you won't have people blaming their family if you have a crash

    How is his independence a source of humour?
    You can’t trust any news report from the US because they are either completely behind or completely against trump.
    RTE won’t criticise anyone ever.
    The BBC go out of their way to be politically correct.

    This guy gives his opinion on things, I don’t agree with all of it, but at least he’s one some side.

    What’s he using his PayPal money for? Do you know?

    His 'independence' isn't a source of humour. People being blind to the guy looking for cash off his videos, is mildly funny, while also maddening.

    "What’s he using his PayPal money for? Do you know?" - well as he says:

    "If you would like to donate to this project, please use the link below, thank you,"

    i.e. if you want him to keep pumping out more and more of his musings that are not in his particular field of specialty, but like the misery and anxiety p0rn, please throw me a few quid.

    Seen a grown man doing this as he walked behind two other pedestrians two days ago . I was walking towards them and noticed he was not covering his mouth/face as he coughed behind them and as he got closer he coughed directly at their necks as i ran across the street . It was a very nasty cough too .
    The man in question here was coming from the direction of our local bus/train station and i had never seen him in town before either .
    You just don't know who could be a super spreader ( read Kamikaze )

    In the current circumstances, purposely coughing on someone is tantamount to assault.

    Would be interesting to know if these cases around country are traceable back to Dublin. Can't believe Dublin is not in lockdown and contained from rest of country.

    Dr Tony:

    "Don't just focus on the testing"

    I personally know somebody who has recovered from a flu like illness who's cohabitant now has breathing difficulties and fever. GP said will take 2 weeks to get tested.

    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

    451? Someone mentioned 600 a couple of posts ago.
    This is an important figure to get right.

    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 it 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?

    Fine the fcukers and their parents if underage

    So are a lot of people lying to the GP when they ring up? Just to get tested?
