Yes but as long as they have been self isolating and social distancing it really doesn't matter. Most of those will have recovered by now and won't be spreading

Yeah, people don't exactly do as they should do. One person I know who came back from Spain a little over a week ago was supposed to restrict their movements for 2 weeks yet were out and about the town the very next day.

A lot of people haven't a clue and think the rules don't apply to them.

Deaths in Algeria, Phillippines, Ecuador,Denmark, Romania..and Ireland obviously, all passed 100 in the last 48 hours

How effective are hand sanitisers?

I had to go to town today,and used them going in & out of shops (deffo properly,into all corners etc)

Is.this enough??.....we were out from food at home,so kinda was a necessity

Soap. Use soap and wash your hands thoroughly. There are videos on youtube explaining how to do it.

Hand sanitisers help too but soap is where it's at.

It isn't following that path in Italy. From a couple of days around 4,200 new cases we're back to 4,500/4,600. That's a bit of a worry for all countries.

There might be two phases in Italy; the epidemic in the North, followed by another (hopefully less severe) one in the South?

They do have a use, not as good as a proper hand washing, but definitely do use them.

Avoid using the front of your hands, especially the dominant one. Eg I use my knuckle for traffic lights, elbow for pushing doors etc.

Just remember to not touch your face.

We need to start wearing face masks

Do you trust their figures?

No

Do you have a reliable source to support your allegation?

Their deaths per million is still higher. 26 versus 24.

Yeah for sure but unfortunately we're slowly making ground on them there too.

Tuesdays numbers will prob be from Paddys Day. They are so out of their depth it would be laughable if it wasn’t so serious. And yet you still have Varadker and Harris gurning like idiots at the opening of a step down centre like they’ve achieved something.

Results from Germany are expected to start coming back tomorrow

As I said let's wait for the weekly figure next Tuesday

What would you normally buy outside of a supermarket?

Fuel, hardware, pet food for a start. I would usually spread my food purchases out to multiple small shops too.

Why is George lee covering this story ? He's the most depressing person RTÉ have. He doesn't help the mood. I know fergal bowers needs a break but surely there was someone else who could be covering this ?

All George is short is a skeleton suit and a scythe. ..or possibly a T-shirt with little coffins on the front.

5% should become 4% after a few days, then 3%, 2%, 1%

That's some nice counting backwards in fairness to you.

Someone with such an obvious mastery of numbers should be paid a lot more heed.

How did South Korea flatten the curve? What's their current numbers for cases and deaths?

Testing, testing, testing, and strict quarantining rules

They had learned lessons from the likes of SARS

They need to close the Airports to general public and only to be used for supply chain at this stage

Worrying numbers today. RIP to those who died.

Stay safe folks

Yes I was talking with a supplier in Padova today, he is very worried that it will be as bad in south.
I have never heard anyone so stressed!

It's not a pleasant way to die. Would much rather have heart failure.

A lot of them are. Covid 19 puts a lot of pressure on the heart as the red blood cells aren't getting filled with oxygen properly and the heart needs to pump faster in order to get more red blood cells to oxygen starved areas and the heart cant cope.

And that's relevant how? People in nursing homes dont deserve this.

No one said people in nursing homes deserve to die of covid. Very old sick people in nursing homes have very little defence against any infection be it chest, kidney, gastro etc. So they die.
Usually they get to die surrounded by loved ones, it’s sad that they are currently having to die with only Carers to comfort them.
But everyone has to die in the end. There’s real signs that people in 1st world countries are starting to forget that.
If people are asking how many of the dead were in nursing homes it’s mostly because at least the nursing home residents have lived a long and full life.
Young men and women who have dependents and many years in front of them should not die and if they do then that IS a tragedy.

Do they pull the figures out of their arses? Some hospitals closed others down to a trickle and yet the media want people to believe that the health care system is overrun.

+1 to the airports or flights, especially from America. I think many people over there are still clueless about the seriousness of this virus. I would be very worried about Americans coming on holidays here this summer.

Coyote · 03-04-2020 06:09PM

Number updated to match today's report

No Change in number

Slow Change

Big Drop in numbers

again with all of this I'm just trying to show people the 14 day delay in an change in how we deal with this
if you wait till we are overloaded it's too late

interesting visualization of covid19

Have we not banned flights from America? they were quick to ban us weeks ago when we only had a few cases, why have not banned them yet.

Fuel, I'm still getting mine from the local garage as they are cheaper than Centra and our supermarket doesn't do gas bottles. Believe the fuel depot in the next town is still open, but more costly to travel there and any savings would be lost.

Same with the pet food, we've a small rescue and couldn't afford to buy it in the supermarket and the local pet shop who is still open as per the regs and gives us a good discount.

Local builders providers also does essential items as per the regs.

If your local shops for these items have closed on their own accord because of covid, assuming they suddenly haven't gone bankrupt its not really the supermarkets fault.

ArchXStanton · 03-04-2020 06:14PM

Looking at the figures the last few days, anyone else think this was circulating well before the first official case here?
