    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?

    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.

    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

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

    I figure that's Bolsonaro, Trump, Boris, The Belurissian idiot and Erdogan that underplayed it and failed to take adequate action in the face of glaring evidence.

    Quite the grouping of leaders today.

    Someone pointed this out to me the other night - it seems Turkey actually did more than almost any other country to shield themselves from Covid, but were unlucky to find themselves next door to Iran.

    I know, I know, it's wikipedia. I'd rather have a better source.

    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.

    Countries in mainland Europe followed a similar pattern of numbers. Up one day, down the next, up, down, up and down, then up, up, up, up and up.

    There really is no room whatsoever for complacency.

    Median age of latest deaths is 92.

    That's highest ever heard. Old folks home deaths?
    Example:
    25, 32, 37, 43, 46, 54, 92, 92, 93, 93, 93, 94, 94

    Being a median it's high value can mask much lower values.

    Will be more than likely until late June we are delaying the peak atm. Maybe easing it somewhat in between. Their will be another outbreak when we lift restrictions as seen in Asia. Its going to be a long process. At least we have a small population and the virus can move through the community relatively quickly.If we do this effectively we can save alot of lives and jobs hopefully. Good progress being made on treatments and a vaccine trials look promising. I think its important for people's mental health to be realistic about expectations for the next few months. It will take until 2022 until we can put this behind us. Until then as a society we need to accept this. Experts haven't really been saying this more than likely would cause panic, riots and upheaval

    According to George Lee on the news just now the median age of those in ICU is 67. I would imagine that it is only those likely to benefit at all, that go to ICU.

    A small minority of tests in today's number would have been tested 10 days ago. Test results are prioritised for hospital cases and higher risk groups.

    It doesn't, but other Coronaviruses cause mild respiratory symptoms like the common cold. Nowhere tests for them. These tests are for CV19

    Anyone see that bit on the 9pm news of the food deliveries. No one observed social distance. Handing food crates/bags to each other.

    here's more breakdown for those median average conversations.


    Again ICU much more distributed. You really need to factor in time in ICU. You really need all the data to draw conclusions. Time since admitted etc + age.
