I think there were forecasts of them peaking next week so could be a good few weeks more.

I would have my doubts as to the authenticity of the numbers of deaths in China.

China reports 50-60 cases per day these last few days, saying all are imported. I can only imagine if Ireland would be importing 50-60 cases a day it would be impossible to stop the community infections. I think China is in denial at this stage and just waiting for a large remission.

What time do you suggest?

Whenever suits them best, if they can get organised earlier and get home earlier, good luck to them. They must be exhausted. I do agree that it would be good to know what time it is on, whenever that is!

If it's on Virgin Media the licence fee does not come into it.

China have/had no resources problems, they built and fully stocked 3 hospitals in 2-3 weeks.

The numbers are high in the likes of Italy because people can't be treated.

It could actually be bone fide.

Here's that HSE PPE order list from China but I'm not sure if that is all of it.

I’d imagine the planning and coordinating of organising the logistics of procuring and transporting €225M worth of PPE gear from China to Ireland, along with organising extra morgue capacity for the country probably takes preference over maintaining a strict press briefing schedule.

Another poem in my head today, Anna Akhmatova's 1917 stanza...

We thought: we're poor, we have nothing,
but when we started losing one after the other
so each day became
remembrance day,
we started composing poems
about God's great generosity
and — our former riches.

This whole thing is making me feel quite a bit sad, and a bit cross.

There are a few textile companies left in Ireland, but not many and what is left tends to be quite high end and not into bulk production. That's the same across most developed countries as the 'rag trade' went to low cost production economies in Asia, and not mostly China btw.

I think this will have to change when all this blows over.

It never made sense to me buying clothes and reading the labels made in Thailand, made in Bangladesh, made in India. I definitely did my very small bit in recent years to change this with my own knitwear and focusing mainly on Irish and European yarns. I refuse to buy knitwear that will mostly come with a tag saying something like 'made in Bangladesh' when I can knit pieces myself.

Knitting is my skill. Unfortunately I don't know how to use a sewing machine for doing more.

Well, it's definitely not a country. It's a dependency alright. In my life, I've never seen it listed like that before no matter what the stats or context.

Yeah and Jersey and Guernsey aren't listed despite apparently also being dependencies. Weird.

Or they are mass injecting an untested vaccine.

I know, I cannot understand the need for an exact time on this. Every day must be very different for them so I can't see why it matters. Everyone knows it will happen in the evening at some point. Nobody needs the information at an exact time.

Remember this face we are fighting 2 different diseases in this country one we can hopefully build up an Immunity to the other is a festering boil that only lancing will cure us of.

UK is talking about having antibody tests available in their millions very soon.

Has anyone heard any talk of them being available in Ireland? I would love to know if my mysterious but super-mild respiratory illness was Covid 19 or something else.

It looks like they haven't been validated for accuracy.

All though that shouldn't take too long to do, just test everyone that has had it and has recovered.

With 1.5 million in "re-educations" camps, I wouldn't be too sure anyone presenting with a case of it now isn't just ****ed into a hole in the ground.

Interesting, though home kits tend to have higher error rates, and any test involving antibodies more so.

Not sure I'd like to hang a lockdown policy on something like that.

Interesting stat there that flu is seasonal in nature in temperate climates, happening mainly in the winter, but in tropical regions occurs irregularly throughout the year. So its possible CV could behave like this too. Obviously have to wait and see though.

Standard response is that they are monitoring other options. Bear in mind the rapid kits the Spanish got seem to be only 30% accurate.

How are the people you were in close contact etc? If they are ok it’s probably unlikely you had it.
