Good to hear that we report deaths when Covid19 is confirmed as present, as opposed to it being the primary cause of death. Strikes me as more transparent, and less susceptible to fudging, in terms of deaths at least.

Absolute state of this show that just started on RTE1

Theres enough carp on about C19 without this and with that smug BC.

Is there any reason why they don't announce the amount tested daily?

E.g there could have been 250 people tested yesterday and 210 had it. There could have been 2000 tested today and 400 had it?

Now over a million reported cases worldwide.

The cases numbers are worthless since not everyone can get tested, its inaccurate number that downplays the proper total.

The deaths are likely to be much more accurate.

Just announced on RTE 1 news that De Taoish reckons state exams are still going to happen.

I am glad my teenager is in TY year - the current situation of all of us cooped up together for 24 hrs with two of us trying to work from home, is not a great environment to be trying to study in. Also they have missed several weeks of school teaching already and are under a kind of stress that no other exam candidates have had to endure in the history of the state.

How fair is it to put them through an exam in or around an environment of death, job loss, and home confinement? It will be even more cruel to keep the party line going that the exams are continuing only to call them off at the last minute, as I still suspect will happen.

As I said, I am glad it's not a state exam year for my family.

Because we report it weekly. It's just the way the system is set up to feed information back.

People being tested yesterday mightn't have their results for a week or two. That's how far behind they are so they can't give accurate figures.

What's the point of giving the median age? Why not give the average age?

6 of those people that sadly passed away could be 25 for all we know and another 6 could be 93. Saying the median is 92 makes it seem like only very elderly are dying but actually that may not be the case at all.

the median is better as it lessens the effect of outliers. for example a single death of a 10 year old would skew the average a lot. not so with the median.

The British Health Secretary Matt Hancock said they were looking at this type of test.

He said it takes about 28 days for your body to develop Antibodys.

Althought FDA has authorized first coronavirus antibody test

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/02/health/fda-coronavirus-antibody-test-authorization/index.html

Does it really take that long to develop anti bodies? they must develop much quicker than 28 days.

Don't worry, we'll get an approximate number some day next week

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

Not updated.There are a couple of updates daily from a lot of the US states.

Jesus wept.

From the 2015 report:
An experiment that created a hybrid version of a bat coronavirus — one related to the virus that causes SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) — has triggered renewed debate over whether engineering lab variants of viruses with possible pandemic potential is worth the risks.

This warning came in 2015.
The Chinese government have some explaining to do.

He has to say that, even if they are not. Otherwise everyone just stops doing any study for the rest of the year.

Just thinking as I watched the daily media news update on COVD on RTE.

The numbers of new cases are two weeks old!

I'm waiting 11 days on test results

Update of the report.

"Editors’ note, March 2020: We are aware that this story is being used as the basis for unverified theories that the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19 was engineered. There is no evidence that this is true; scientists believe that an animal is the most likely source of the coronavirus"

My son is in leaving cert and is working his butt off. I hope the exams go ahead, I really do. I can’t see what will happen with college admissions if they don’t. I don’t see why they can’t use primary schools as extra exam centres, space them out more, don’t allow congregation afterwards. I would certainly volunteer to invigilate.

Isn’t it varying related to when the outbreak started in a particular country, clusters , when lockdown is implemented etc. There will be lots of variables and we’ll only really enable to tell all when it’s all over and complete data sets are available.

And are we? Have you looked at the number of deaths on rip.ie the last couple of days. Well above the average amount at about 130 per day and all deaths are not put up on rip.ie.

Kermit.de.frog · 02-04-2020 06:18PM

Must have been a mistake with Florida's fatalities today. Was 209 and now 27 for the day so far.

182 deaths in New Jersey.
