    Just head of the WHO

    Just to be 100% accurate -Michael Ryan is not 'Head' or Director General of the WHO.
    His title is Exec Director of WHO Health Emergencies Programme.
    He is of course the key man in the most crucial area of WHO operations at the moment.

    Dr. Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, said:

    "We have a more detailed ICU report available this evening. Of 148 cases admitted to ICU, 25 of those cases have been discharged, sadly there have been 14 deaths from ICU and 109 remain in ICU. The median age of ICU admission is 62.
    "I would also like to highlight a worrying scene I witnessed during my visit to hospital on Tuesday evening; empty waiting rooms and empty beds. While protecting yourself from COVID-19 is a priority, no one should ignore signs that they may need medical attention for other ailments such as lumps, chest pain or other concerns. Please do not ignore any symptom outside of COVID-19. The hospitals are there for all ailments, not just COVID-19
    Last week he was complaining about the "worried well"

    What was our predicted vs actual?

    Just on the CMOs point about lack of people in hospitals, well they clearly think they're better off taking their chances at home. And unless they know that the place they're going to does not have covid patients and staff that have no contact at all, with covid patients, then it's hard to criticise them for not turning up. Also for some, they'd prefer to pass away in the comfort of their own home.

    Where are you reading that? Also nobody has called it the Inter Cert since the 70s so there goes any credibility you had as an education spokesperson.

    Gloomy George announced on the news that they shipped thousands of swabs overnight to the lab in Germany so they can clear the backlog

    Overall positive news, the important numbers for me now are not the amount of cases but the icu/hospitalization rates

    To paraphrase Brian Keenan on his release from captivity in August 1990 when I get out 'I'm going to make love to all the women in Dublin' :)

    To paraphrase another great Irish man, Pat Mustard, I'm going to be a busy man, a very busy man ;)

    Do you recall if they said when this would occur? I may have mis understood but I though that some of today's numbers were including German results.

    It was when I flicked back to the news on RTE 1.George Lee spoke about it.I have no idea if some German lab results were included in todays figure though.

    I think the latest bigger numbers are whole family spread within households.

    Actually the inter cert ran to 1991 then became junior cert. Don't ask me how I know, right?

    Looks like the lockdown might be extended

    Will be extended, there isn't a shadow of a doubt.

    My relations in America are under instruction to 'shelter in place' and that order has been extended to May 4th. They are in the SF Bay Area.

    27 deaths today in Florida instead of 209?

    What was the reason for the error? Worldometers spreading fake news?
