    Jogging is fine, going for a walk is fine....
    Being outside in general is fine.... just avoid large groups, crowds. Its pretty easy to do considering the circumstances.

    He was on the rant about this yesterday as well.

    Only explanation is that he came home to find a fella in jogging gear with his missus.

    302 new cases is definitely encouraging.....still well behind the predicted curve

    It's not encouraging. They aren't testing enough.

    I think we are well behind our testing volumes on that curve too tbh

    the amount of people being tested is going up and the tests are focused at the higher risk people

    59 in ICU up to Wednesday. I'd say it's closer to 80 today.

    Unfortunately we better get used to the ICU numbers increasing rapidly from this week on.

    302. Good if they have already doubled the number of test they are doing. But they have changed the testing criteria so this could also explain it.

    It has been announced that the daily National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) Press Conference will not take place today.

    Just giving the numbers maybe from now on? Holohan and the team probably have better to be doing. I'm sure they are wrecked at this stage.

    59 patients in total have been admitted to ICU since the outbreak began.

    That figure was 47 yesterday.

    Very bad news. That is the key statistic.

    Passed local kids park a few days ago - not a bother on them, 30/40 kids - many in groups of more than 4 - parents need to cop on

    I know ridiculous. I bought my my 7 year old and XBox when the schools closed. I never would have dreamed of doing that during normal times. But I figure good parenting is out the window during this time. It's just about getting through it. Sometimes it gets to me seeing him plonked in front of the TV but it's vital during this time but it would be better if these parents did so.

    They need to clarify this ICU number, as far as I read it that’s the total number who have been in ICU since the beginning NOT the number currently in ICU but it’s being reported as if it’s the number currently in ICU.

    Like if they keep reporting it like that the number in ICU will never stop increasing.

    These are still results from the old basis AFAIK. It takes a few days for results to come through

    Ok but that's not the "real" growth rate

    59 Covid 19 in total admitted to ICU as of midnight Wednesday means we are on track to reach
      the original 260-bed ICU capacity on the 1st of April and
      an increased 500-bed ICU capacity on the 4th of April.

    It's still about 16-17% increase.

    I mentioned this here last night and someone disagreed. I'm 90% sure it's since the beginning.

    Does anyone know, how many are in ICU in Northern Ireland ?
    Surely if Ireland is under pressure for ICU beds, some patients can be taken by Northern Ireland and/or somewhere else in the UK ?

    The testing criteria is more stringent, so you would expect the number of positives to be higher.

    I think 302 is not too bad.

    RIP to the three deaths.

    If our ICUs are filling up, it's a case of fighting this virus yourself or you're fcuked?
