    I would assume on the actual death cert that multiple causes of death would be listed together, but for coronavirus statistics the death is counted as somebody killed by the virus

    In the UK the coronavirus death number is described as ‘deaths of people who have tested positive for COVID-19’, meaning that they might have died of something relatively unrelated, and might have died anyway. What is the number described as here?

    How was TB treated back in the day?

    It was contagious. Merlin park hospital in Galway was an isolation hospital. How was it treated. Did the country go into lockdown?

    I see the press briefing is 5.30 today. I suspect we have reached out peak of new cases so I doubt we will see a significant rise today. I'd imagine we will see anywhere between 200-400 New cases for the next few weeks and probably 10-20 deaths daily. Maybe the deaths might peak at 30+ for a few days.

    What makes you so sure of this?

    No chance, at least another week - 10 days is what they seem to be planning towards.

    I mean a peak for new cases. They are planning for a peak in ICU cases after that.

    The same. Italy does it the same way.

    Yeah it's that average, mean, median nonsense that's been bouncing around here for the week! All about the stats. You can blame the CMO for starting it!

    Ahh no, I get that. It was that the red baron said:

    It looked like he didn't get red baron's joke! (unless "can’t take it don’t give it" is another maths joke, in which case it is me that didn't get it!)

    Well most countries count is that way. Some definitely dont, like China, but majority do currently

    Watching the UK presser. I’m increasingly impressed with Matt Hancock.....he seems to be one of the more grown up people I have seen in and around the cabinet in recent times

    We have to look at how things have been going to date. It's likely that we have seen the peak of new cases or are in and around the peak now. ICU cases haven't been growing dramatically and the rate of dead hasn't been growing dramatically.

    Perhaps due to now counting non hospital based deaths?

    I am perfectly relaxed. The original point was if someone is going to be smart at least spell your point correctly.

    Any best guesses out there on the hospitalisation and mortality rate yet? I mean worldwide. Are 80% of us or perhaps more going to get it but not have to go anywhere near a hospital? Surely if it's that high then a lot of 70 and 80 odd may not require hospitalisation either? There seemed to be a lot more stats around earlier on in this which is weird considering it's spread so wide now.

    A bit annoying if they cut from the UK presser to ours, maybe they are waiting. HSE and RTE must know plenty are keeping a keen eye on across the water.

    Its not consider the direct cause of death, but they are included in the stats as person who have died with covid-19...our 98 deaths all tested positive for covid-19, but its not necessarily the reason they passed

    In Bergamo 900 people die on average during March. So far this March 5500 have died. I don't think anymore needs to be said about that.

    The best guess mortality rate is still around 1%. Germany and South Korea have done the most testing in the world and have mortality rates in that region..a bit higher but even with their large number of tests are probably still missing some cases

    Good explanations of the situation on NHS and clinical trials of potential treatments using existing drugs.
