No sex now!

In other news, it emerges a global shortage in condoms is looming due to the coronavirus pandemic, the world’s biggest producer warns.

Karex Bhd, which makes one in every five condoms globally, has not produced a single condom in its three Malaysian factories for more than a week because of a lockdown imposed by the government to halt the spread of the virus, Reuters reports.

Have we locations mapped out for our own nightingale hospitals?

I’ve heard of some step down facilities being readied

1000 deaths here would make us worse than Italy pro-rata. I'd be very surprised if that figure is realised.

Why? We copied all of Italy's mistakes at the start? Then managed to immediately fail at trying to replicate South Korea and now are just crossing our fingers that it eventually goes away.

You've seen nothing yet. It hasn't even hit the poor nations.

The problem with poor nations is we may never know what happens in those countries.

In Leos speech on on Patricks day he predicted it to go up 30% a day and there to be 15 000 cases by the 1str of April , Currently that curve is being flattened ,

its inevitable there will be a spike at some time and there will be huge problems for a week possible two , but at the moment we are on route to make sure them two weeks don't get as bad as Italy ,

But yes it will get bad and yes we will lose loved ones but currently its looking like not as many as first predicted , it'll still be horrific

If we had been able to do all the tests and get all the results back I would suspect we would have more than 15,000 confirmed cases by the end of the month

40,000+ test backlog was abandoned. It is still taking a few days for test results to come through. The curve we are seeing now reflects what was happening about 10 days ago in Ireland

Yes but 1000 deaths would still make it no worse than a bad flu season here.

You are missing the point or just trolling.

All the flu deaths do not show up at once and the hospitals are (almost) able to cope with the annual flu epidemic normally.

This virus is causing mayhem in the health services everywhere when the exponential infection rate happens.

Leo saying he expects the beds to be full in the next few days is grim, do they not have 500 beds? That’s an unreal increase from the 54 stated

I assume like with test promise he made that the extra beds likely didn't happen either.

"The speech" was basically a load of bull that was complete lies/cluelessness.

True but it would be alot worse without the precautions so you can't compare one with the other. If we implemented the same measures for flu that would probably go down to 100.

Not quiet. Remember most vulnerable people are vaccinated against the flu so it is possible to compare one with the other. There has to be a point where we say that shutting down the country indefinitely not wise. We should be constatly re-assessing the risk. You have to remember to date our Social Distancing is only starting to become a factor in out numbers. Our numbers to date haven't been overly alarming.

UK government has started to add daily totals ( in red) below the cumultative totals

A PRISON officer has been suspended with immediate effect after it was discovered that between 220 and 250 units of Irish Prison Service owned personal protective equipment (PPE) have gone missing.

The officer, picked up a shipment of the vital PPE, including protective face masks, at a prison earlier this week.

The shipment was destined for drop off at a number of prisons later on the same day.

The 500 is including the extra beds I thought

But were not able to cope with the annual flu epidemic.
That's why every year we have a trolly crisis. But we still don't stop the country for it. I'm not trolling nor am I saying that significant restrictions arent needed but our measures have went to far. Shut down too much of the country especially given the fact that our numbers were close to manageable without any measures.

How true is this timeline? A week of symptoms means you have to go to hospital?

The irony is in Sierra Leonne and New Guinea dealt far more effectively with a far more serious threat in Ebola, than the so called developed countries are dealing with the corona virus.

I'm jealous of Ireland in a way. I haven't worked since January because of this and the city is only closing down now today. At least in Ireland, things were normal for a lot longer and then it all changed very quickly.

bekker · 27-03-2020 06:00PM

In my opinion the following is the most worrying of all the figures so far. It means we are at the point which numerous posters wanted to see avoided (or at least further deferred) by having the State collect statistically valid random population sampling as a base for it's decisions.

COVID-19 is on the cusp of becoming unmanageable in Ireland as community transmission is now responsible for 49% of cases identified, all other transmission modes 51%.

Whistling past the graveyard has been much in fashion, but the numbers are moving on.

All methods to delay spread are even more valid now than they were before it became wild.

Ebola is a more serious threat if you have it. If you have neither Corona is by far the bigger risk. Ebola spreads slowly by comparison.

People are going to die no way around that unfortunately for us all , What number of realistic deaths would you say that the government done a good job again baring in mind its something which we simply can not avoid ,

At this stage I will never give the government any credit.
They were very slow at the start of this for too long. They should have shut down airports and not allowed anybody in.
Only last week they ordered all civil servants to go to work without any proper protection in place.

We heard in the update around 11.30 that prisoners in our jails have been getting visits and that stops tomorrow. All the prisoners and staff working in prisons have been put at risk by this. And who knows how many people they are in contact with outside of work?
A prison is like a hospital as regards infections and viruses.
We also heard in that update that they are working hard to get people home who want to come home but you don't hear anything about them being quarantined when they arrive which should be the case. We don't need any new strains of this entering the country.

We are not testing enough people. We didn't lock down on time. We really haven't locked down enough yet. Varadkar going around saying he was projecting that 15k people would be infected, then knocking that number down to 6k and now reversing it again but still staying low is ludicrous. We need to make people realise just how dangerous this is. The word is getting out there now but it's not coming strongly enough from our government.

Over 900 deaths in Italy in the last 24 hours.

This isn’t a drill - stay the **** at home. You don’t want to catch this, you don’t want to spread this. Your great grandparents were called to war, you’re being called to stay on your couch unless you absolutely have to. That means you only go out to buy groceries once a week, to fill a prescription or to work if you’re in a frontline role. Exercise can be done at home, loads of free videos on YouTube.

You do NOT need to go jogging, you do NOT need to go hiking, your dog absolutely will survive being inside for a few weeks. Your pet’s health is not as important as that of your fellow human beings.

If you disagree with this, you’re being selfish.
