Surely there would be no point in that?
Current occupancy is the crucial figure.

Guess thats the winning that Mr. Trump was referring to.

The hospitalized figure they release every night isn't current occupancy.

It's like living through a horror movie.

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.

Got my 12 year old son Grand Theft Auto (looking for it for years), he’s betting on horses, playing roulette and now owns a night club. Haven’t seen him come out of his room in two weeks

59 in 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.

But as a poster is questioning above, is this the number actually in ICU on Wednesday, or the total since the start? Any stats on people released from ICU etc?

As long as you don’t have any other emergency like a heart attack etc.

Going by how the health emergency team word it, it is definitely since the beginning so either they are wording it wrong or it’s being incorrectly reported. My money is on incorrectly reported.

Yes, but that's a few days behind as are the other numbers.

Why would that figure be how many occupied from a month ago.

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.

302 not too bad, but it's still the 1st time the confirmed cases have gone over the 300 mark!

Thats a bit harsh. I have seen a very noticeable difference in people these days. Definitely efforts being made across the board.

We also have to remember there will be a time delay for effects to be seen. Its only been a week and a half really and you wont see impact on numbers for a while yet.

The effects should only take 5 days to start to materialize as that is the median incubation period.

Very hard to model that correctly though. Even the slightest percentage change in the next couple of days would alter the April 4th figure (but it's a real concern).

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.

This staggered release of figures isn't helping. 59 in ICU on Wednesday, a lot can change in 48 hours. We need up to date information, instead of a drip feed by the government so that Leo can reposition himself accordingly. Almost strikes me as a selective PR exercise, and I say this as a person who has been largely impressed by handling of crisis.

Blueshoe · 27-03-2020 07:50PM

It's like compounding interest. 7 days ago we had 683 cases now we have 2,121. Where will we be in 35 days.

Also today's numbers are actually Wednesday's numbers

The totals they give are from the start so you would imagine thats since the start. There was a media report at the start of the week of a person leaving ICU.

But who knows it could be the current.

SweetCaliber · 27-03-2020 07:51PM

302 Confirmed cases today, thats a 17% Increase. 3 New Deaths bringing the death total to 22.

"Christian pastor who said coronavirus pandemic is 'mass hysteria' dies from the virus after ministry trip to New Orleans"

He already had bronchitis and pneumonia and then got Covid. The dumb was strong in that one. Note too not a thin man. "Robust" American sized. In the UK it's already been noted that a majority of patients in ICU were overweight to obese to morbidly obese and almost none were underweight. Now being obese raises the risks of co-morbidities so it may not be a direct connection, plus people in the west tend to get fatter with age. I did notice in the shots of the Italian wards a lot of chunky men. Maybe having abdominal fat impedes breathing? Might explain why fewer women die as they tend to put fat on in the hips and thighs? Though Asians tend to be much slimmer overall so maybe not.

Thanks for these charts SC. Even for me who has the congenital dumb when it comes to numeracy these make for great illustrations.

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

Possibility and a possibility is just that this evening of further restrictions could be announced this evening, which is why the daily NPHET presser won't take place this evening. If true then I suspect we might see the Taoiseach and Tanaiste plus Dr Holohan among others making a statement tonight.

One journalist Richard Chambers is describing the situation as "fluid" at DOH HQ this evening.

Follow Fergal Bowers of RTE on twitter along with Susan Mitchell of the Business Post. They are the best at sourcing information and are really good at their jobs.

Those numbers are nothing to do with leo. The health protection surveillance centre that provides the numbers to department of health is an off spring of the HSE.

ChikiChiki · 27-03-2020 07:54PM

They have released the case numbers. What is the 8.45 press conference going to address so?

Or is there still one?

That doesn't make sense. So with every death potentially another ICU bed is freed up?

I'm not being smart, but did the Italian culture of greeting males and females with a hug and a kiss go against it? We are way more stand off-ish here for example.

Do they hug and kiss there?

It's a very contagious disease. People need to face facts and stop kidding themselves

I understand it's the total number admitted to ICU since Covid 19 started.
Deaths should probably be subtracted from that to get a more accurate number for those currently in ICU.
There are probably not so many recoveries to be subtracted.
On the other hand, you also have non-Covid 19 patients in ICU which are not included in the figures.

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

These new cases are people who were tested 7 days ago.!

Its behind the curve because its old data.

Don't get complacent, this will be exponential.
