    17 deaths is mental. Really harrowing stuff. I cant see things getting back to normal this year at all really. It'll take a vaccine for that.

    To be honest, 3 weeks ago I was thinking by now they'd be announcing 40 or 50 deaths a day and cases in the tens of thousands.

    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.

    We’ve been told tonight, by the head of testing, that the max we are doing is 1500 per day. The labs can process 1500. That’s 1500 results of testing per day. 5000 and 2000 are Mickey Mouse figures.

    Oh wait I think know the answer to this one!

    Is it "Declare ourselves neutral, stay out of everything entirely because it's not our business and send our condolences to the Nazi state when Herr Hitler committed suicide"

    This is a real crisis we have to set aside our cynicism of the past and

    It's a very VERY tiny small minority of people who would suggest our Government are not doing enough... Nobody actually takes any notice of such negative Facebook'ish type commenty people.
    That is the truth.

    Agree. We are doing good so far at managing case numbers.

    Nursing home clusters have raised the death rates significantly. That cannot be ignored.

    Or we could intern any German air force and navy personal that ended up on our shores while allowing U.S. and U.K. personal who did return to England.

    Seems to be the case in many countries certainly in Italy, Spain, USA and here.

    It's funny how all the experts talk as if everything is Trumps idea - under the direction of Trump, at the request of Trump....

    I don’t think anyone’s been laid off, there’s no lockdown, my friend in South Korea says there is no lockdown they just obey the government to wear masks always and they don’t socialize, just go to work and home.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is having second thoughts about masks.

    I've been banging on about this for ages now.

    It was encouraging to see Journalists at the daily briefing today raising the issue.

    Maybe what we say here does get heard where it matters.

    Just on that 5000 tests a day - both Cillian De Gascun (chair of the HSE’s Coronavirus Expert Advisory Group) and Dr. Tony Holohan (our Chief Medical officer) said tonight that we are doing 1,500 per day.

    “Over the last week we have seen a significant fall-off in the number of tests provided because of the shortfall in global supplies, so we’re probably in or around 1,500 per day, that’s across the country,” Cillian De Gascun

    Be interesting to see the death toll of that group. Interesting is probably morbidly wrong to use, but a police force should be healthy imo.
