Regardless of tests.

The number of deaths don't lie or hide anything.

And were very low.

Hopefully, and hospitals are not seeing mass influx to ICU, which we should be seeing by now.

I like to know the % of deaths from C19 were old people in nursing homes.

There may be another question in connection with clusters. Is there a possibility that certain doctors have been pushing more tests through than others. That in itself could result in clusters in certain areas but it does not mean there are not others in other (possibly all) areas

TBH B I'm just looking at ICU and fatality figures. In the absence of blanket testing for nearly everyone they're the only sure way to know how we're doing.

I remember when Leo out the 15 k number out there, thinking he’d hardly be doing it without solid prediction advice...

Was it based off everyone behaving as they are at the time he said it?

reagents seems to be the issue now

I think it's absolutely positive that Gardai will stop cars and question people as regards there movement during this period. I even find it acceptable that people have their phone tracked if its strictly regulated....I however find it unacceptable that there are no border controls....... we all do our best to flatten the curve but somebody flying in from abroad will be handed a leaflet asking them to self isolate for 14.days .

Current growth rates are unsustainable according to the team.

I don’t want one but it looks like a lockdown is inevitable and probably sooner than we expect.

As disappointing as not getting them at all? Or the leaflet for that matter, which is probably out of date by now!

I'd be happier not getting any. They're an answer to a question no one asked.
Haven't even looked at the gaudy yellow leaflet yet, telling me things I've had drummed into me for the last couple of weeks no doubt.

It was based on a day on day 30% increase between then and the end of the month.

Thankfully, we have managed to keep the increase much less than 30%

rob316 · 30-03-2020 07:57PM

You got to be fairly positive in the numbers, its very stable no surge.

Basically yes, and without any of the current restrictions, school closures etc. In place.

I have to say. I feel safer living in Ireland then any other country in the EU in relation to the pandemic.

There are EU countries doing better than us.

We are only mid rank in the EU. Eastern Europe (EU countries) took stronger measures earlier and have done a better job.

Id say the bigger numbers to come this week if testing is still all good with plenty of capacity and the peak will happen around 14th to 15th

Yeah even without a surge in percentage terms we should hit the "15k" by around April 18th. Hopefully the measures will be kicking in.

How much more of a lockdown do you think there can be while still maintaining a functioning society?

I get that, but based off us all still behaving the same each day I meant...

Families are allowed to go out and walk or jog within 2km.

Yes, that would have been the inference.

Hence the changes in behavior, and thankfully, the apparent change in infections.

I find it very worrying how people are lining up to give away their freedoms. Hard to get them back once it's done but yeah let's just go full on totalitarian regime, make sure you report your neighbours like a good citizen, what could possibly go wrong?

Not much more they can do except increase enforcement of what is already in place.

Are you seeing the same figures as the rest of us? the ones that are actually being reported?

The full lockdown that you keep going on about (because apparently we're not in lockdown yet) will be reserved for if our numbers start going completely out of control.

bekker · 30-03-2020 08:01PM

Tony Holohan on last three questions he was directly asked ... We don't have that information etc... waffle ..waffle

Lengths of his answers are in inverse proportion to numerical information divulged.

Wish people would stop throwing around the word lockdown at this stage.

Did they just say that some slides are waiting 11 days because they have no reagent?
