Yes in hospitals but only where there is that likely risk, that's all they do say. Otherwise there's no evidence they don't really confer any great protection.

There is evidence for protection. Check this study done regarding SARS. "The use of masks was strongly protective" and "Our finding that mask use lowered the risk for disease supports the community’s use of this strategy." An they're not the only studies into the efficacy of masks within the community. There's a load with regard to influenza and how that even within households with one person infected the risks go down for the rest with mask use.

I don't see their position changing on that at all but by all means get yourself a mask.

I have a few and a pp3 rated respirator, but it's not come to the latter just yet. Though if I had to take public transport or a taxi, I would 100% wear it. The thing is we all need to be wearing something. If we all are then the risk of droplet transmission will drop right off. Never mind that infected people wearing one won't spread nearly as many droplets onto surfaces, which are a major vector for transmission. It's really a no brainer.

Where you are on the WHO, I find the CDC to be shambolically embarrassing.

Agreed 100% and for much the same reasons. Underfunded and slow to act and too sensitive to political influence.

Folks there are not 124 people in the ICU. It is a cumulative figure. It has been done to death in this thread already. See attached for confirmation by HSE

Why is it likely? The US has more ICU beds per person, more ventilators (and the ability to make more) and despite what people who dont live here think, those without insurance WILL be treated.

Each state is pretty much like it's own country and does not need trump to take action.

The US is a federal state and each state has its own governance.

I can’t figure out why Trump is mentioned so much here, he’s fairly irrelevant

World over 900 thousand cases.

Almost a million. It's spreading so fast. If that's the confirmed cases, there's way more out there carrying the virus without knowing.

We can probably be at a million by tomorrow.

USA has now surpassed 200K cases (200,269 and with 4,394 deaths).

I remember the good old days (....about 2 weeks ago, or so....) when there was less than 100K cases worldwide.

Its a cumulative figure yes, but as soon as they leave ICU they are removed from this figure no?

I know its not 126 in a day, but my understanding is its how many are currently there.

Worldometer gives a figure of 103 critical cases in Ireland as per latest update.

HSE clearly states in its data "total number admitted to ICU'
That can only mean its cumulative.

From today.

Hospital statistics

Total number of cases 2990 Total number hospitalised 834 Total number admitted to ICU 126 Total number of deaths 84 Total number of healthcare workers 752 Number clusters notified 134 Median age 48

No they are not removed from the figure. The worldometer is not a primary source

So why not give the actual live number in ICU ....so it’s 124 minus the number of people who have died ? Surely then if the ICU numbers are from start they can handle what’s currently in ICU units...

Jinglejangle69 · 01-04-2020 05:51PM

14 deaths.

spookwoman · 01-04-2020 05:51PM

10days to 2 weeks to get testing ramped up...... that's a long time

Not necessarily, many of the deaths occurred in nursing homes.

humberklog · 01-04-2020 05:52PM

A few pages/threads back someone posted a link to a really natty site that allowed you to select the countries you wanted to see on a graph and compare contrast. The graph would move along from day zero with each country. Does anyone remember that site and have a look?

I'm interested in following Ireland and Denmark's increases and this was a useful tool.

If the figures are cumulative then it would be less than that again because some would have recovered.

Yeah, my state is doing a pretty good job so far of flattening the curve and has had restrictions in place for weeks now. Some states have barely any cases. New York is an epicentre and is not representative of the entire country. Even there they are coping OK so far and have put in thousands of extra beds and resources.

This is positive news then. No member of the public will be any the wiser as to how many are in ICU at any given time so.

126 cases in ICU with 80+ deaths, can we read between lines then that ICU numbers are not over the 100 mark?

We're passed a million already, given that China and Iran have lied about their figures. China is easily 10 times higher in cases and deaths. As is Iran. Some estimate Iran is at least 20 times worse than official figures.
