Anyone have the UK figures for today. I can't believe the 187 new cases on the Worldometer site.

That’s only Wales, Scotland and NI; they seem to be sitting on the England numbers, prob want to miss the 10pm news

Wasn't there also the guy on the plane in Dublin who would not get off the phone as they were going to take off who said he was in contact with his mother who had it.

I also saw part of a video from the states where this fella licked a toilet bowl as part of a corona challenge and apparently he has the virus now.

I see that bellend who licked the toilet bowl for his "coronavirus challenge" is sick with the virus. Hope it nearly kills the prick. People like this need a dose of reality. I see he's crying about how severe his symptoms are. Nurses should refuse to treat him. There's far more people deserving of their time.

Death toll up to 465.

Up by 45 on yesterday I think.

Seems quite low.

Good news, but almost certainly an outlier at this stage.

They tested an entire town in Italy and found that this was not the case there, there was not a huge amount of asymptomatic cases, this is an Oxford report that seems to be complete BS.

Half the postive tests on the princess cruise showed zero symptoms. One of the only complete data samples we have.

As i said previously,multiply what we know by 10 and this is a rough account of how many cases are in Ireland,and growing by 25% per day approx.

There would be a lot more presenting at hospitals if that were true. Multiplying by 10 and then 25% exponential growth every day gets to a pretty huge number quite quickly.

That said, they don't have a scooby of the actual numbers, their testing model was just aspirational, it fell apart pretty quickly.

The only real accurate data now is hospitalizations.

The figures are "good", but we know they can balloon pretty quickly.

They badly need to get back on track.

hopefully he dies fast, a waste of valuable resources otherwise

The only thing I would say there is - the 85 year old would probably be doing everything the government told them to do - where as the 15 year old could be out playing and not giving too hoots about the situation.

If you think of the first person in Ireland to die from it - an elderly lady who was not in Italy and who did nothing wrong - but somehow got infected due to actions or inactions of others, and indeed for the majority of elderly people that is how they will get it - through others.

That maybe the case. The flu kills a lot of people every year. I dont see anyone chastising someone who gets the flu and gives it to someone else. No one should be made feel guilty for passing on this virus. Its incredibly difficult to control.
We need to accept that fact. I have an elderly neighbour a woman in her 80's who lives alone has told her daughter that she'd be better off dead because she's missing her family and has no interaction with anyone bar family dropping food to the door.

The addition of a second symptom hugely increases the likelihood of it being covid, a single symptom (fever) would mean people who were just food poisoned on would be looking for tests today (and fine tomorrow but gumming up the works).

I heard several positive cases state fever was never part of their symptoms.

As far as I know you have to have Fever and one of the other symptoms.

Is it possible that younger people may have an underlying condition that they aren't aware of yet and this explains younger people dying from the virus?

It's possible, that poor young guy in Spain who died at 21 had only just learned he had leukaemia. His immune system was non existent so he stood no chance.

I was thinking the same, I'm sure it's very possible but saying a healthy 15 year old died from it makes a better headline and scares more people.

Number updated to match todays report

No Change in number

Slow Change

Big Drop in numbers

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

Getting the feeling that I'm not going to get my results, 5 days since my.test now. I'm recovered from whatever I had now anyhow but would give me some piece of mind to know all the same. Anyone else waiting a couple of days for results?

Hopefully the antibody test will be available soon. The current test is of no clinical use, but is helpful for health control reasons only.

I would be curious too though.

Apparantly only +28 new deaths for England, according to the Guardian. Very low if true, certainly compared to yesterday.

+41 for the UK in total.

No symptoms is mixed news though. It means 100s of thousands of people will not suffer.

Who mentioned death count you muppet. I'm saying how we deal with this public health emergency.

You're the muppet comparing a country of 4.83 million with a country that has a population of 66.44 million. Population density impacts spread. It is a competition according to folks like yourself, all you ever post about is how the country is handling something that hasn't even begun to peak and yah boo to the Brits, there are hardly any posters sympathising with the absolute horror of what is happening in London. Hundreds of thousands of Irish there as well. Ye wouldn't dare compare with Spain or Italy at this point looking at the news you don't have the balls.

The numbers are going to balloon due to the backlog of tests being caught up on and the likelyhood of positives increasing due to the more than one sypmtom approach. The new approach will have reduced the backlog but there still is one.
So for a few days the real gauge will be the hospitalisations/icu/deaths.

That's silly. If they don't want our doctors after corona, we can keep them here. If they had enough of their own, they wouldn't be importing 80 from Ireland

Not just our Doctors anybody who applies for a visa/ working holiday. No point Australia employing Irish doctors who abandon them in their hour of need.

One of the main reasons why a large % of people follow the guidelines is because they would be terrible if they gave the virus to someone else knowingly or unknowingly - imagine just ignoring all the advice, giving it to someone and them dying? Stay indoor and you can't pass it on - it's so simply

The Garda only 2/3 days ago mentioned on twitter about a young lad who is waiting on test results and who is supposed to be self-isolating was out with his mates- one of which had an asthma attack. Should that teen not be facing concequences for his actions?

If the doctors have somewhere to stay then they might stay.

People who blatantly flout the guidelines like our friends licking toilet bowls or idiots queuing for chips, or sitting in packed pubs certainly should be made feel guilty. Those people willingly put others in danger. People whose lives were hanging in the balance anyhow in many cases had their fate sealed by ignoramus'.
