    Lots of farmers burning rubbish and backyard burning now.

    It's the time of year for farm rubbish burning. It's under license and to set times and dates. Happens here in early April every year.

    Are you getting that from WHO? If so is that 1m mark for just the novel Covid19 strain or all strains of the Coronavirus?

    Worldometers.
    That's novel cv cases confirmed by pcr test.

    The "care packages" being sent to South Korean citizens practicing self isolation in the community are quite something!

    Where in Antrim?

    If they are digging them there, then they should be digging them here too. Reason? We are neck and neck with them in terms of total population to covid death ratio.

    Sixmilebridge in Antrim google it there you’ll find the articles. 50 graves dug. I heard it on the radio today together with news that they’re looking at some centre in Belfast to open one of those “nightingale” hospitals

    Why are RTE reporting median ages of deaths and cases ? why not averages ?

    He doesn't give a fcuk about the rubbish burning, but gives a fcuk about people condemning it.

    In fairness, if farmers are burning stuff, or anyone is for that mater, surly there are bigger issues to worry about at the moment.

    Sounds like rubbish to me. I'd be very surprised if we pass 500 deaths here. Certainly not mass grave scenarios.

    Early days to say that, but I hope you are right.

    For all our social distancing and restrictions compared to NI, how come we are neck and neck with them in terms of death per capita?

    Because its felt to be more accurate as due to the relatively small number of deaths a small number of outliers distort the mean by too much.

    Personally I would prefer both be provided.

    Saw that on Channel 4 news.
    The reason the Council are digging so many graves is in case their workers get sick and are not available to dig them when they are needed.

    Wow. Over 400 infected. Hard to know what to think now. I've a feeling this lockdown will be extended by another 7 days at least. I thought looking at the figures we were doing better.

    Median age of latest deaths is 92.

    That's highest ever heard. Old folks home deaths?

    Feel a bit sorry for the carer's who will be asked to go in to nursing homes. From clipping toenails, making tea and bringing in the coal to the front line of the front line.

    Wonder which module of the Level 5 covered this?

    https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/families-asked-to-step-in-while-carers-temporarily-deployed-to-plug-staffing-gaps-991833.html
    Actually, when I think about this, it could be folly. Possibly the least qualified staff put into the most volatile of situations. Lambs to the slaughter.

    Probably the administrators feel there is no option.

    If only 14 deaths are form ICU
    Just how many have been in nursing homes? How bad is that situation looking now we have that figure


    I get the feeling given the very high average age of those who died
    and the fact that so few actually even passed through ICU that a lot of them

    were in Care Homes. They have also expressed concerns about clusters in Care Homes.

    Do you see this going on that long ? How long were Schools closed in China? How long were they in lock down?

    We aren't China. Have you seen what they did to control this? We are still letting flights in from different countries and people aren't even bothering with masks ffs. We aren't taking this seriously enough but then again few are.

    That is grim looking in fairness. Even with the rationale of preparedness. Must admit I did not believe you.
