12 year old Belgian girl dies from the Virus,

https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-girl-12-becomes-youngest-known-person-to-die-in-europe-11966171

This has to be a wake up call to everyone, i am not saying older peoples lives matter less than younger, but if my elderly parents happened to die from this, it would not be as big a tragedy as someone 12 years old.

Everyone needs to take super care and stop thinking, 'I am alright Jack'

Good point. Also Ireland has one of the highest rates of hypertension (high blood pressure) in the western world. 1 in 4 may have it either known or unknown. Its a risk factor for getting a more severe dose of CV than normal. A lot of people unfortunately can't assume that "I'll be grand, it won't affect me much".

If a person is on medication to keep their blood pressure under control does this lower their risk?

I suppose it depends on how accurate the figures are. More people are dying from this than are being counted in the official statistics.

No, it decreased yesterday as far as I know.

It didn’t, the figure given yesterday was the official figure as of Saturday night. The 88 figure was allegedly Sunday’s figure but that has not been confirmed by any official source and if it was a figure it is cumulative but higher than Saturdays so still holds that the figures are all cumulative.

Is this current or cumulative did anyone find out

It’s cumulative, RTE are reporting it incorrectly the HSE reported it as “the number of patients who have been admitted to ICU has risen to 103” I.e total since that start.

I suggested that covid19 positive persons should be subjected to gardai checks at home daily. Someone responded, we can't do that because of GDPR!

There should be substantial fines for anyone who tests positive and is found out in the community.

This sh*t has got to stop. That woman could have infected dozens more. The level of stupidity of some people in this country has been exposed in the last month.

It’s not GDPR. It’s medical confidentiality which has been around a lot longer.

Come on now you know I was in no way trying to lessen a person's death,

Just by the sheer numbers there will always be people out side of the normal age range,

Of course your hearth still goes out to the girl and her family, but no need to cause unjust panic,

Anyone else get triggered when they give statistics about how it's mostly people with "underlying conditions"? It just seems like they're saying "oh it won't affect me, sod those people". There's something a bit nasty about the way they do it. As if "it's ok guys, they had underlying conditions".

These people they're talking about are perfectly healthy with decades of high quality life expectancy left who have "underlying conditions". Dismissing it as "underlying conditions" because you happen to have asthma, heart disease, diabetes is so crass. Who doesn't have "underlying conditions".

I hope people without underlying conditions get it just as much. It's good news for people without other conditions, bad news for those with them.

Yes absolutely.
Even when it states someone had no underlying health issues people are still scrambling around saying "oh he/she must have had something wrong that they weren't aware of" like it's an impossibility that a perfectly health person can't die from this. Wiping the sweat off their brow that it's someone else's problem.

367 added to England tally - 19 to 98 years, 28 of them had NO underlying conditions

393 UK tally total for today.

On this, age itself is an underlying condition in a way (diminished immune system). I like to see the ages of people succumbing without an underlying condition. I’d be amazed if they aren’t mostly elderly.

But the nursing homes didnt lift the visiting restrictions so unfortunately staff must have brought in in.

I think they broadened the criteria that they use to report deaths today, e.g. including non hospital deaths such as nursing home deaths

NHS England said those who died were all in hospital and their ages ranged from 19 to 98. All but 28 of the patients had underlying health conditions. The 28 who did not were aged between 19 and 91.

I will accept what you both said.

People do however need to up their level of care in general around this.

But it is and its going to be used by people to instill fear in other people. Young people thankfully for the most part unaffected by this virus and that needs to be said.

WTF is wrong with people
Gardaí stop woman with Covid-19 out posting letters

Gardaí were left shocked after discovering a woman posting a letter who had tested positive for Covid-19.

The worrying incident happened recently in the south of the country.

Gardaí operating a checkpoint stopped a car and asked a couple why they were out, bearing in mind the current restrictions on travel.....

The female passenger present informed gardaí that she had been recently diagnosed as Covid-19 positive.
