    its not nearly as contagious but it hasn't gone away ye know

    In Australia they tried drugs against TB to fight this virus and it looks promising. I wander if kids are resistant to this novel coronavirus because maybe this vaccine is still fresh in them, so stronger working?

    156 ICU admissions - so 8 in one day seems manageable.

    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

    I must say I'd disagree.Just listened to him waffling on in an answer to a question about whether their lack of testing in the early stages had cost lives.He answered about what they were proposing to do in relation to future testing rates.

    Totally dodged the question.

    I think people are putting too much emphasis on a vaccine solution. We know that is too far down the road and no guarantee how effective it is.
    What we should be concentrating on is an effective treatment plan which will save lives and reduce the seriousness of the illness.
    See below for one of many examples of studies looking at an effective treatment:

    Interesting - six more discharged, and just one more admitted.

    I would like to see number of tests each day v number of positives.

    The more you test the more positives you will get onviously.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 912 ✭✭✭bekker


    It isn't 50, obviously. It's 6.
    I won't since cigars are bad for your health. :D

    50 would have been result of a previously suggested method.

    For illustrative purposes.

    Mean: 24.07
    Median: 6
    Mode: 5, 6
    Set: 2,3,4,5,5,5,6,6,6,8,45,67,77,98

    No, only 15 people admitted to ICU have died. So most of the deaths appear to be occurring at home/nursing homes

    Does that mean that only 15 out of the 120 dead were in ICU ?

    testing centres mostly back up and running and they seem to have secured a supply


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,786 ✭✭✭wakka12

    16 more admitted. There were 96 in ICU yesterday

    Even then it will take some time to mass produce a vaccine. I fear this virus will be a problem for 2 years and possibly a bit longer.


    Come on mate, you really don't know this, none of us do. Don't waste your energy in getting worked up about something that might never happen. Save your strength for the unlikely scenario that you suggest does actually occur.

    Other better entertainment providers remain available.

    I was referring to only Irish numbers and how they are recorded, as Dr Holohan said last night

    Sorry, I wasn't at all clear. My point is that it's now being realised that the amount of deaths due to covid-19 are being underestimated.

    They have a process and a system.

    RIP, the 22 people who died

    If true. That's crazy.

    Are there medical staff going to infected peoples homes?

    These figures are not nice and we still have 2 weeks to the anticipated peak


    True. At what number of confirmed cases would we start to see a leveling off, if there is to be one, in the next month?


    15,000 20,000 30,000 or more?

    So that’s 11% rise in total cases and 5% rise in new cases compared to yesterday by my rough maths
