800+ deaths in nursing homes due to coronavirus that they conveniently forgot to report before, so a huge spike that’s not really a spike. BTW we have people dying in nursing homes here too who are not even being sent to hospitals and I’ve no idea if these deaths are reported in our official figures either.

They are in fact : Dr Holohan says they are recording all nursing home deaths

So if the test comes back negative for CV19 then you should just presume that if your feeling unwell with symptoms then you just have a different strain of coronavirus then. Thanks

Or any other mild respiratory illness. Could be bacterial. Or another virus. Many agents can cause cold like or flu like symptoms.

RTE talking about the pros and cons of masks.
Unsurprisingly, the virologist from Trinity slow to recommend them while many countries now recommending/mandating them.

They were being advised by Donald Trump at an early stage on how to deal with the virus............you just call it flu, and then nobody gets coronavirus!

Whats this lady on primetime got against masks.

They thought us how to wash our hands

They thought us how to keep our distance

They can teach us how to wear a f00king mask

Naggdefy · 02-04-2020 08:49PM

If a lot of other countries release nursing home deaths like France, it will be sobering to say the least.

Clown professor on Prime Time still trying to argue masks don't work and the fool public would end up infecting themselves.

They are giving them out free to people in other countries. In Ireland they apparently are charging 8 euro for a single crappy cloth one in the pharmacy

Gael23 · 02-04-2020 08:49PM

There will be a huge surge next week due to tests being shipped to Germany for analysis. That will interfere with reporting figures

Was it more about adding deaths from the nursing homes from previous days to the total than an actual daily total?
Can anyone clarify before it is overhyped please ?

It might look like a spike because it was only added today in one go, but it doesn't change the fact that these are still people who died with/because of Covid19. And I do think that if lots of those who died with Covid19 had not caught it, they would have in all likelihood lived a good few years more, so, to me, they died because of Covid19.

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say it's because they deal with infected cases the same way the Daleks would. No living infected cases, nothing to report.

In fairness, very little was known about the virus and transmission at that stage. There was talk from scientists you would need to spend around 15 minutes with a person before you could catch Covid from them.

That is only if they didn't cough or sneeze in that time. If they do either of those uncovered, you get it 0.1 second later, never mind 15 min.

That's a good thing, we will get more accurate figures of who is positive.

As Tony said the numbers are more about knowing who to use contact tracing on to identify more people to be tested/self isolate.

Are you saying it is a bad thing to have more data?

It's simply bull**** like I always thought.
If they'd just be straight that it's a supply issue I'd have far more respect for them.

The Economist had an article on this today actually (not just nursing homes)

Naggdefy · 02-04-2020 08:55PM

I'm thankful to be in my mid 40s.

I don't fear growing old for dying. I fear it for the loss of control I'll have over the fundamentals of life. I fear it for the loss of dignity, others cleaning me, helping me with going to the toilet, or when I can't make the toilet.

I want to live to a mobile self sufficient 100 and die in my sleep with a clear conscience. Am I asking for too much

Yes thankyou. I think it is very important for people to be very mindful of all wording that all media use during a plandemic. Coronavirus is just not Covid19 it also can be flu and just a cold (SARS),(MERS) etc, etc

Yeah, like a lot of people I think if masks were in plentiful supply they’d be advising us to wear them.

Depending when the tests were done, some of the patients are likely well on the way to recovery but being reported as new cases

That French figure is kind of scary.

My brother is in France near the Swiss border he and his two little girls have had it and were quite sick but his wife didn’t get it at all, or if she did she had just an irritating cough.

The bit I don't get is the assumption that the mask will end up covered in virus and fiddling with it will infect you. If it gets virus on it then it is really dangerous but that virus would have got onto your face if you had not been wearing it. You are still cutting the odds down by wearing it.

To me it is an insurance policy.

And of course you are right about the "training" BS. 3 or 4 steps and you are done.

Of course you have to continue with all the other measures.

I think you are looking for comfort in the confirmed cases total.

The actual cases out there will be multiples of this so not really comforting when you look at the reality that the confirmed cases are limited by our lack of testing.

I would rather see the reality than feeling comfort from focusing on an inaccurate/irrelevant number.
