    That RTE reporter, Sean Whelan, looks sick to me

    I was thinking the same on the both broadcasts I saw today where he was broadcasting live.

    Looks like Belarus could throw down a challenge to any team to come and beat them, or simply declare themselves Champions of the World....

    Because it is guess work with wildly fluctuating models at the end of the day, how could anyone be accurate about this?. The virus doesnt think for itself, people spread it, if people change their behaviour then the models will wildly change from what was predicted

    Calm down. The 15,000 projection wasn't even remotely accurate before social distancing could take effect. It was inaccurate from the start.

    No, thats just what happens in the vast, vast majority of cases. You are hearing about it cos they have celebrity but the result is totally standard, most are fine.

    The virus doesn't leave the system for quite a while though. Came across a document from The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control saying the virus stays in the system for about five weeks after infection. Average duration of symptoms is about 22 days (varies between 18 and 83 days). The tests are also giving false negative in about 30% of cases.

    Cuomo wonders if coronavirus quarantine may have backfired in some cases
    But Wednesday, Cuomo’s answer during an hour-long news conference about quarantines — which are backed by city and state health officials — took a new turn as he speculated it might have spread the disease.

    “I don’t even know that that was the best public health policy. Young people then quarantined with older people, [it] was probably not the best public health strategy,” he said. “The younger people could have been exposing the older people to an infection.”

    Whoops.

    Are we trusting the Russian figures? another country late to act and infection rates seem suspiciously low....

    Goodness no. Most of the figures are at best a flawed sampling. Russia's are surely just a work of fiction.

    Given we've already had days with 10 and 14 deaths, hard to imagine what could be more serious?

    It would be more than 15000 without measures being taken, we couldn't prove it though as we wouldn't have the test kits .

    I predicted single digit casualties for Ireland today based on my shoddy modelling and hopes.

    Yes, they've had two or three hour delays before and the numbers weren't anything out of the ordinary.

    Putting the 15,000 figure out with the intention of frightening people into behaving and then clapping ourselves on the back mightn't have been the best strategy either.

    You only had to look at all the congratulations on here when we generally had rises of 12-18% daily last week. Can ultimately lead to complacency.

    I wasn't looking at the screen and for a moment there I thought they were starting the briefing with some banjo playing... "Must be serious" was the thought in my head for a second.
