Yes 200 new cases per day vs the 800+ per day expected. Well done.

You have to be testing more people to see an increase.

Good to see Prince Charles on the mend, his military training sticking to him now.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52088684
The Prince of Wales is now out of self-isolation, following his diagnosis of coronavirus.

Prince Charles, 71, spent seven days self-isolating in Scotland after testing positive and displaying mild symptoms.

Have they a shorter self-isolation period in the UK? Is the 14 days not a directive by the WHO?

At Dublin Airport?

An Aer Lingus flight was forced to make a dramatic return to Dublin Airport for an emergency landing on Saturday after a bird was ingested into its engine.
The plane, which had just departed Dublin Airport with 176 passengers bound for Philadelphia, didn’t get out of Irish airspace after the bird strike caused a flame-out in its engine.

I think so. Apparently it had to return to the Airport. Its such an Irish story.

Yeah that's my point. So the question is what do we need to do to return to something that resembles normality?

Wait as long as we can. To be honest I'm not sure but it's dangerous to become complacent now.

He should be ok. His shoes are possibly a weak link if what we saw in China is to be believed, ie cleaning the roads and pavements. I try to leave my shoes in the car or in a shed after going to the shops, just in case. Your father should be fine. Its good for him to get some exercise. The last thing we need now is elderly people turning up in A&E with heart attacks and the like from lack of exercise.

Cleaning the roads was a couple of months ago when less was known about how it spread. Once you don't lick the soles of your shoes on returning home after walking through a bucket of someone else's flegm and spit then you should be OK.

No this was this morning and it was a flight heading for China to pick up supplies.

Birdstrikes are quite common as it goes, there were 10k alone in the US last year. It's when they go into the engine like in this case that they tend to do the most damage.

Claire Byrne is back presenting the RTE Radio News at One. I don`t know whether she is doing it in the studio or from home but good news that she is feeling well enough now.

Just the fact that our supply plane was hit by one.

7 days from when you start to show symptoms.
14 days for anyone else in the household with you to see if they show symptoms. If they do show symptoms then it's 7 days from that point.

Is it? Just unfortunate timing. That was what caused the plane to crashland in the Hudson. Just hope it didn't cause too much damage.

Roughly the same amount of people have died in the European UNion over the last 28 days from coronavirus as youd expect to die from flu in a whole year. So I guess that comparison can stop

25000 people died from flu in Italy alone in the 2016/2017 flu season. In the 2013/2014 season the figure was 20000. A flu season isn't even close to being a full year.

Also, these figures are excess mortality, it's not clear if the deaths attributed to Covid-19 include significant numbers of people dying with Covid-19 rather than from it.

Well we could start with this which was being taken as fact at one point

https://www.businesspost.ie/health/irish-health-authorities-predict-19m-people-will-fall-ill-with-coronavirus-701e4838

Note they have 50% of those cases being in the following 3 weeks. Which have past and we are still a little shy of 950,000 cases.

And the headline is a lie. Health authorities never predicted that. They said it was a worst case but it was run with anyway. Similar for the 15k by the end of the month

The 15k was a quote from Leo in fairness, it wasn't doomsday it was a prediction based on doing nothing.

Glad to see it was wrong but it was in the context of saying why all the restrictions were necessary. If we didn't have all the restrictions we could get to this level.

Aye on account of the economic fallout for his state as far as the news goes. He was from Merkel's CDU Party and the finance minister of Germany’s Hesse state. Leaves behind a wife and 2 children, tragic.

Yet you said this earlier:

July? These restrictions will be relaxed in May and antibody testing will start in April. People will have to go back to work much sooner than July or all the businesses that are closed now will be closed forever. That’s the last I heard from our government anyway. I’m going on holidays in July.

How did you hear that and none of us did?

In South Korea the post office gives every citizen 4 masks per week.
Here you get nothing because the government is anti-intellectual.
If science is objective reality I wonder how it differs here from Korea.

All they need to do is call up Seoul and do the same thing.
Also you can make your own masks and people should be told to cover their faces.
