    Surely that's the definition of "critical case recovery" no?

    Does ICU care always indicate critical status?

    Trump probably thinking that graph is a before and after of a boob job

    He's not stupid. He just treats people in America as they were stupid. And they love him for that.

    What is the outcome for people who would survive ICU?

    Could develop asthma

    You can tell that Trump is looking at the chart and is just thinking one thing - it looks like a perky boob.

    US figures of 2 trillion dollars to save 2 million lives is a million dollars per life.
    Just to give some perspective on the numbers being thrown out because they are kind of meaningless when you hear them, they're just mind bogglingly big.

    Have to admire them for that, but Trump is still an awful waffler, some of the stuff even in this press conference is just complete rabble and filler for ratings.

    Not a fan of either of those doctors either, but I suppose they are only press conferences the real work is going on away from cameras.

    I suppose so, yes. Sorry for my choice of words.

    I was just thinking about something tonight and this is something I'm interested in. Like the quality of life after this infection and after ICU. I know it's a new virus and it's early days.

    Wasn't there reports from china of lung transplants happening there?

    Fauci literally just said the efficacy tests will take months for hydroxy and other drugs and Trump just recommened going ahead and taking them

    US aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt is docked in Guam. Apparently 100 of the crew have the virus. Quarantining the entire crew is being considered.

    So you reckon this way of living is likely to go on for a number of months to come??

    Who the fook knows? Why are you asking random lads on the internet who, in reality, probably know no more than yourself? Just follow the guidelines and wait and see like the rest of us :)

    2,000,000,000,000 (2 Trillion)
    2,000,000 (2 million)

    = $1,000,000

    Maths is hard.

    Don't forget Leos unrealistic prediction of 15,000 cases by the end of the month.

    I see lots of people celebrating and saying fantastic job by the Government because we didn't hit the 15,000 cases or 30% increase per day.
    You are the same kind of eejit that would be giving out about FG about putting the economy first if they didn't react to the virus and for all intents and purposes close the country

    It's almost like you and that other clown weldoninhio would find any angle and use it as a stick to beat Varadkar.

    Apparently...
    WASHINGTON: China's "wet markets" have reopened - selling bats, pangolins and dogs for human consumption.

    The move is dangerous as scientists believe that the Covid-19 causing coronavirus first lurked in a bat in China and hopped to another animal, before getting passed on to humans.

    Going by how quiet the roads are, I’m in North Dublin and I’d be hearing cars in the evening pass at one every couple of minutes, nothing has passed in about 2 hours. It’s fücking weird.. silence is deafening out there. Reassuring though all things considered. The prices might be forced down because of this.

    There will be carnage here in the summer when people will be expected to sit at home while it's 36C outside ..... total carnage.

    The “ramping up of tests” etc was a PR exercise. The “we have plenty of PPE” was a PR exercise.
    The bullshyte about getting to “15,000 tests a day” was a PR exercise.

    All we are getting from Simple Simon and Varadkardashian is spin and PR bluster.

    The whole world is struggling with the this crisis.

    It's now a global crisis.

    I don't see the point in turning this into a political issue and blaming our politicians with hilarious names.

    15,000 tests a day is not a PR exercise, it's a target they are working towards and they ar presently at 5,000 a day. By tests I mean results, not just swabs. They were at 2,000 last week.
    People do not accept it takes to get all these things up and running.

    Constant sniping at politicians and other geniuses pointing out how they predicted this crisis the moment they heard a person in Wuhan had a sore throat is boring , and that the government should have gone full lock-down in February,achieve nothing and make this thread unreadable.

    In the meantime our death rates remain low compared to other countries and that's nothing to do with the impact of the decisions taken by the government. It now means their forecasts were false.
