    Perfect reply to your 'joke'

    Unfortunately, cards were handed out for those responses. I hope they didn't pick up a ban for it.

    I live in london. Wanted to get out of there. Lucky enough to have a family home in the countryside to self isolate in. Came by ferry yesterday which was packed then drove down south from Dublin roads were dead. It was the quietest I have ever seen the roads. I really think people are staying put.

    A few pages back so one asked if the ICU numbers were a total needing it or the number in ICU now. Another poster said it’s a running total and that’s what I believed but reading the undate again it looks like that’s the total that have needed icu not the number in ICU now.

    Quoting the test from RTÉ website
    Over 305 cases - 26% - have been hospitalised so far.

    Of those hospitalised cases, 39 have been admitted to ICU.

    To me that looks like a total number rather than the current number. This is a key distinction as if it’s the total who needed it it’s a lot more positive than if it’s the number in ICU now.

    2 assumptions, correct me if I'm wrong:

    1) Recovery numbers haven't been updated because the majority of cases are self-isolating at home and nobody's keeping track.

    2) ICU number is total to date, and not that many people are actually in ICU.

    1) The CMO said yesterday that they have not provided any figures for recoveries yet and the 5 recoveries being mentioned did not come from them or the HSE.

    2) That would make sense to me.

    You call out two assumptions and make two yourself :confused:

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

    There were 5 last week, surely there are some more by now.

    If someone is non symptomatic , how long are they infectious for ?

    They won't show any syptoms but I assume they can carry it for up to 14 days or more .

    So if person A is non symptomatic , and meets person B on day 14 , person B may not show symptoms for + another 14 days.

    This would mean if living someone and the infection came into house on day 0 with person A, person B would not possibly show symptoms for 28 days ?

    Thought that Dr Holohan was showing the signs of strain at tonight's DOH presser. A bit spiky I thought with his answers. Any thoughts?

    I'm not surprised. George Lee came in with a set of questions asked 30 mins earlier. Where was he? The docs have enough to do .

    Didn't watch it - but the lad is probably sick of reporters asking him all sorts of questions - in his day job he wouldn't have this exposure would he?

    If large swathes of the population is already have already been infected is there any point in widespread testing? Boffins in Oxford suggest over 50% for Britons have contracted the virus, many already have recovered.

    If that's the case we should be doing an antibody test as well to prove this, how easy or hard this is I dont know.

    Lots of positive cases self isolating at home. It'll be hard to define their "recovery" point. The recoveries is always very slow at updating.

    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.

    I take what he says, and I take what the mainstream news channels say and I make up my own mind. I don’t dismiss him because his qualifications don’t stack up in some regard. Qualifications are not the be all and end all of anything, I’ve been in hospital where the Most senior doctor on duty treating me was UNABLE, actually unable to correctly give me a morphine injection.

    If you don’t like him then don’t watch him, I find his information concise, to the point and coming from a point of view where the agenda is not the biggest thing.

    If his CV isn’t up to your standards then don’t watch the guy.

    Yes, but 14 days is at the very end of the scale, so unlikely. For two to be on that scale, even more unlikely.

    But in principle, yes.

    That is why Person A and Person B should avoid all possible travel until all this dies down - be in 2 weeks or 2 months.

    It takes a long while to get out of icu so I imagine the majority are still in there. The rate going in will be greater than the rate going out, which is where a massive about of the challenge lies. In Italy and Spain this snowballed fast.

    That was a good briefing, and I understand the rationale for the new testing criteria, but why charge for €30 twice?

    You have to keep GPs onside. Charge is not to patient.

    Wonder how much pollution and Co2 this will save? Will it ultimately be significant?
