    I'm guessing this is the surge now.

    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.

    I missed that bit, was it announced at the conference?

    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.

    So we're only to report from Italy and Spain now?

    ?? The news was mostly Irish. It's those insufferable horse racing gob*****s I'm talking about. With their superiority complex.

    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?

    Well, ignoring the nit-picking, Leo did say today that the state examinations will go ahead at this point.
    Does anybody actually watch it listen to the news?
