“CNN anchor @ChrisCuomo has been diagnosed with Covid-19. The network just informed staffers in New York. Chris is feeling well, and will continue anchoring from home.“

Do you even know how many ICU beds there are in Ireland?

96% of ICU beds were filled pre virus https://www.rte.ie/amp/1114690/

ICU beds are nearly always at capacity, the level of patient crisis dictates that.

Lockdowns in Italy and Spain are starting to get to people - that 4 week limit, which has been mentioned in our own briefings.

Sure, ‘ getting to them ‘....I’d rather be bored, pissed off and isolated than struggling for breath in a hospital ward.

Not only leisure cruises affected.

Captain of American aircraft carrier pleads for evacuation
The captain of the US aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt has told the Pentagon that the coronavirus is spreading uncontrollably through his ship and called for immediate help to quarantine its huge crew, two US newspapers reported today.
Captain Brett Crozier wrote in a four-page letter that they had not been able to stem the spread of the COVID-9 virus through the 4,000 crewmembers, describing a dire situation aboard the huge vessel now docked at Guam.
"We are not at war. Sailors do not need to die," Crozier wrote, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
"The spread of the disease is ongoing and accelerating," Crozier wrote, referring to the ship's "inherent limitations of space."
He asked to be able to quarantine nearly the entire crew onshore at Guam, saying keeping them all on board the ship was an "unnecessary risk."
The Chronicle said that more than 100 aboard the warship had been confirmed infected with Covid-19.

The HSE is raising ICU bed provision to between 500 and 700 by Easter weekend, mainly through the private hospital facilities freeing up space in the tertiary public hospitals

Do keep up.

Mortality rate in Italy is now 11.7%.

Even higher in reality as so many are not treated and due at home. Multiples according to Italian Doctors.

The disease is manageable in small numbers but shocking outside a certain level.

Unlikely. Things seem to be improving. I for one think we are restricted enough and will not be complying with further unnecessary restrictions.

Tell me how things are improving when deaths keep going up?

Our hospitals are almost at breaking point with over 120 cases in ICU. Italy has over 4000 in a serious/critical condition.

There will be more restrictions. For how long, I don't know.

How much more restrictions can there be? Not going to the bloody shops? Because that's the only possibly reason for community transmission at the moment.

Cancelling elective procedures shortly after, has meant that a lot of those beds remained free once they were no longer occupied.

I would say 100% compliance here where I am in a very built up part of Drogheda. I really dont understand this "people still out partying" stuff.... really?

Anywhere I have gone is eerily quiet, no kids out at all and there are 900 houses in my estate. I think people have really copped on .

I would also say that telling people they can only exercise within 2km means there WILL be a lot of people out in built up areas, you cant avoid it. For that reason I dont think the 2km rule has been thought through.

In my area, it's a lot quieter, but there are still people that aren't getting it. Still people walking around in twos, occasional families meeting people they know and stopping for the chats, older people clearly over 70 going for their walks. I have a feeling the guy in one of the apartments is still having people over (or he's gotten very loud of late).

But I think the aim of these restrictions is knowing that there will be a small percentage who will always flout the rules. It's annoying but as long as the vast majority of us adhere, it will help stop rampant spreading.

Yes, there's a temporary form that allows you to get 5 collections, not weeks.
So you could stretch it out further if you collect a few weeks at a time.
After that, there's a permanent form that needs witnessing by someone other than the collector.

This time will come to be remembered fondly as one where Irish lawns were the best kempt in the history of the state - a veritable golden age of lawn horticulture, probably to remain matchless until robots are commonplace and cheap.

Just to add to the chat about death rates. It's impossible to get any kind of clear picture, because no country knows how many are infected. The closest and best example of a country who might know is China. Because of their lock downs and testing parameters. The university of Hong Kong used the figures in Wuhan and came up with 1.4%. That is for every 100 people infected (male/female/young/old/ill/healthy) ,1.4 of them die.
In the case of Ireland , we are led to believe that over the next year 50% of the pop. will contract c-19. And more the next year and so on. 1.4% of 4.7/2 million is 33,000. This is probably a worst case scenario r.e. the infection rate.
Normally there are 50,000 deaths annually.
I suspect infection rates will be kept below this 50% number throughout the year with various restrictions, and later through the availability of a vaccine.

that doesn't make the mortality rate higher, it indicates that there may 100k+ undiagnosed in Italy
