an increased 500-bed ICU capacity on the 4th of April.

No idea, John Hopkins has 5 recovered has been for days.

Part of HSE's 'subject mushrooms' information dissemination policy I believe.

Recovery takes 22 days even for mild cases, so recovery figures will be slow.

8:45 press conference is cancelled. No reason given to the media.

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.

Not according to the doctors in Italy or China.

I just don't see any positive news coming out of Italy. Nearly 1000 deaths in a day is beyond cruel and if anything the situation there is getting worse.

The sight of Russian military personnel vehicles rolling down their streets with aid was frankly as bizarre as it was frightening.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't the Italians ask the EU first for help - or maybe EU member states - and they got diddly squat.

So if the Russians step in , I can't blame the Italians saying yes to their help.

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

This is the aspect of the crisis not being discussed, while there are going to be fewer industrial and motoring related injuries cancers, heart failure, renal failure etc will be continuing apace. How long until these people are being 'managed' to keep beds available?

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

Or is there still one?

Some rumours circulating of another Govt announcement this evening. We will have to wait and see.

Video from NY hospital

https://nypost.com/2020/03/27/coronavirus-in-ny-video-shows-disturbing-crowded-hospital-er/

"A shocking new Facebook video shows disturbing, crowded conditions inside the emergency room at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in Queens — with gurneys crammed side by side and sick patients waiting on chairs amid the coronavirus pandemic."

Very few of the health professionals seem to have adequate Personal Protective Equipment... many of them are bound to get sick soon, if any of the patients there have the effing virus. Then the real horror begins.

Positive news from Italy is that new infections seem to have peaked.

Every day from February 28th until March 21st Italy experienced exponential growth in new confirmed cases. Since then new confirmed cases have levelled off.

We should hopefully see a fall in new cases starting early next week.

One wonders how China got this under control so quick when other no European countries could, they didn't even go through a prolonged flattening phase, it's was down as quickly as it was up. Miraculous really.

Your last sentence is very sobering.
Great responsibility on everyone in charge of this and on the population to adhere to the rules.

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.

I'm bloody more delighted than ever I dropped some weight last year and got my BMI under 25!

I'm already in a high risk group, and mitigation of my risk is important.
Can't say I say Covid-19 coming

but I certainly can see my toes!

Big Drop in numbers

everyone has to make up there own mind but at least look at the maths

3 weeks no change 44K
3 weeks slow change 29K

1 month no change 151K
1 month slow change 56K

Tennessee woman gets coronavirus after bragging about not social distancing

A 21-year-old Tennessee woman who bragged on social media about not taking the coronavirus outbreak seriously has been diagnosed with the deadly illness, according to a report.

Ireland Tate joked about not following instructions to stay home and practice social distancing amid the pandemic just days before she fell sick, news station WZTV reported.

In a social media video, the Nashville resident told her followers that she’s “aware that we’re supposed to be self-quarantining and social distancing” to “keep everyone safe” — but that she wasn’t worried.

“Cool. I get it. I just don’t think that I’m going to get the virus,” Tate said in the video.

But just days later, Tate found herself suffering from symptoms associated with the dangerous bug and tested positive.

Stupid ****

By extreme totalitarian force.

I'm not exaggerating by saying that China has a system of concentration camps - you don't play ball, then off to the Gulag with you.

Not really... they put draconian quarantine measures in place when they had just over 400 cases and very few deaths... and it worked.

The virus had no one else to infect and died out.

I'd imagine its they've better things to be doing than answering the same questions as every night for an hour.

I'd much rather 2 or 3 press briefings a week and to let them get on with their work.

The pressure became overwhelming and they packed it in. Everyone for themselves now, keep an eye out for a fleet of rogue JCBs.

You're away with the fairies if you genuinely believe that.
