    That said the Chinese do produce world class products and a leader in expertise in certain sectors.

    So no, it's no all "cheap tat".

    I suppose some human rights are violated but thats not relevant to my point . He says they have the best factory management and process engineers. Not just China but Asia. Implying thats not available in the west.

    Labour isn't a significant cost of the manufacture of the iPhone.

    Anyway if they have all the factories and we don't the process of just kicking China out of the world economy would be long and laborious, and probably doomed to failure.

    It's kind of funny that we had that military escort from the airport for midget sized PPE

    You can keep your United Ireland if idiots of this calibre become fellow countrymen.

    Rightly or wrongly, China will face a reckoning when this is over. The way the world looks at China, socially, economically and from a trade perspective, will never be the same

    France reported 1355 yesterday after they were made include the cases that died from the virus in nursing homes. Up until then they only reported hospital deaths. I wonder if all countries include ALL virus related deaths not just the hospital cases.

    But that does not fit his anti Tory rant

    Can we really say that 9 days is sufficient sample size to determine if we “definitely flattening the cueve”?

    Will the Chinese get reparations from the UK for the opium wars, first though?

    Those lads dont seem to have much of a presence.

    Yes. An exponential increase cant be hidden in 9 days.

    Hard to know. Our daily data is still a 9-10 days old given the delays in testing and results. Whatever the HSE report today is over a week old.

    Whats the lag in the rest Europe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,591 ✭✭✭gabeeg


    Or are many countries running out of things like reagent?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 130 ✭✭skellig_rocks



    There's nothing to indicate the next consignment won't have similar issues. Which is why you ask someone to sign off on these consignments before they leave China. Even the WHO could do it.


    Because Irish Government do not want to question the quality of Chinese products in front of Chinese officials in Beijing warehouse? I guess boxes only opened on arrival in Ireland.

    German figures are missing from that graph.

    Compare it to the previous 9 days, when it was definitely on the way up.

    I feel hopeful about the shape of the infection curve, but of course I may be wrong.

    The USA have agents in China at the moment buying up PPE destined for other countries at x2 and x3 the price

    The german figures are also not exponential.

    Strange that, given how bad quality the Chinese PPE is? Maybe the US are taking the good stuff.

    684 deaths in the UK in last 24 hours - new record.

    Still missing. Why is a graph posted with false data. I know you didn't post it. Yes thankfully the trend is downwards.

    I have no idea about the lag for the rest of Europe.

    But I imagine it is the same as it was 18 days ago

    But it's a snapshot taken at the same time every day... and it's the only pan European data we have to go on.

    I am hopeful... that's all

    Well yes, that is weird. Not denying that it is odd that germany wasnt included in a graph for Europe when many tiny countries were. Still I was answering a question on that graph.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,806 ✭✭✭An Ciarraioch


    684, I believe (3,605-2,921).

    Twelve new deaths in NI, bringing their total to 48.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,234 ✭✭✭Longing


    Actually Germany recorded 6,813 yesterday a increase of 700+ from what that chart is showing from previous day.

    So 6,813 needs to be added. Still think its decreasing.

    Updated Germany cases increase further today: 8978. Deaths today: 253.

    Only after the virus has had its chance to work its way through that population, which will take longer for a larger population.

    In a larger population a virus can continue to spread for longer and at an ever increasing rate if not brought under control and therefore has a greater potential for its propagation rate and the numbers presenting for medical care to spiral out of control.

    When infection + exposure rates are significantly lower than the rates needed for herd immunity begin to gave any significant effect comparing absolute numbers is more relevant to how well the outbreak is being managed in different areas / countries.

    At this time relative numbers are a good inducation how the effect might be felt within an area / country.

    Not all swabs processed daily were taken the same day.

    Samples are processed according to priority; hospitalised patients, healthcare workers, people in the community.

    The numbers realised daily is a mixture of all categories.

    The same thing happened with Italian data on the 15th of last month... it was added the next day.

    I imagine there was some glitch in receiving the German figures today.
