    ... In fact, based on the numbers currently as against what Varadker had predicted, we are managing to contain it at a level which enables the hospitals to manage the serious cases.


    Greater or less than 58 in ICU on tonight's report will indicate if the above is true or not.

    Very likely. But we are well behind the curve.


    Idiot reporter on RTE now saying that we have flattened the curve because test results aren't very high. Its nonsense because test resullts relate to one week ago!!


    Notification of contacts is pointless as they will already be infectious by the time the test results are in.



    We have 10 deaths today. No matter what we do now, this will double every two to three days for the next 14 to 15 days.


    This will be 200-300 deaths a day!


    School closures happened here just 15 days ago. In my mind that's when everybody started to take things seriously. Up until then, St Patrick's Day parades were still going ahead. Hopefully a serious flattening is to be expected now, no?

    Most people in the world are going to get it. Hardly surprising that someone in contact with many people would get it.

    But surely as someone who should be an expert on not getting it, notwithstanding that he engages with many people, it just looks like a failure.

    We seem to be fattening the curve than flattening

    Leo and Tony plan of telling it to flatten and hoping it obeys has failed.

    I do get it. I understand that this is a serious thing to hit Ireland. But this is a discussion forum. So its right that we discuss the virus and the measures that are taken. I am of the view that in Ireland we don't need to be as draconian as other countries as our population density is lower as is our population in general.

    Yes, yes we do! Because if we do not things could become unmanageable fairly quickly.

    The lillypad analogy explaining exponential growth has put it in stark terms for me @2.30.



    You certainly do not want the health system being overwhelmed, because things can get way out of hand very quickly at that stage.
    You only have to look at Italy.



    From an historical standpoint the first video above mentions the Spanish flu 1918 @6.40. Philadelphia carried on as normal and St Louis shut down the place. Guess what happened?

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    I see on the rte news - the state of Louisiana in America has a surge of cases and it's believed to be connected with a Mardi gras held last month.

    I'm delighted our government cancelled the St Patricks day parades a few weeks ago or we would be the same. They left it late to cancel but at least they were cancelled.

    I wondered also whether ID stood for infectious disease but I've never heard anyone refer to it as Covid ID. Or referring to any infectious disease with ID appended.

    Coronavirus Disease 2019.

    Just on the back of a request from a user. We have no room to include the daily HSE/Government update time in this thread title. However I can put up a closed sticky with the info if there is a demand.

    Is it due at 8.45 tonight? Does anyone have a link to where it can be seen and where they announce the times?

    Thanks

    Agree, for all 3 high profile people to catch it together and early is a failure. You would not trust their leadership.

    Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Thursday exempted churches from coronavirus lockdowns by classifying religious activity as an essential service.

    Going to church worked so well in South Korea...

    The firefighter analogy might apply to heroic healthcare workers but not a guy like that.

    He's not tending to patients. All he has to do is step back a metre and he can't do that.

    What can even be done anymore? All thats left now is the essentials. We fùcked around too long.

    This isnt America where we can have the Gardai just start shooting at people for refusing to listen/obey so this is it.

    If people can't be bothered to check back a few pages (even a few posts sometimes) I highly doubt they'll bother to check another thread

    Fergal Bowers mentioning further restrictions.

    Its difficult to say what these could be. Id imagine itl be around flights etc. Its hard to see what else they could be.

    There's no cure so the only help a hospital can offer you is assistance in breathing, if your symptoms are mild you won't need that.
    The body can take a long time to fight off a virus like this, there have been reports of as long as 5 weeks.
    It's not something to worry about if it lasts a long time, only if breathing becomes difficult.

    Thanks for this, hard not to worry
