So the majority of people being admitted to ICU are under 65

https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2020/0404/1128465-covid19-coronavirus-tracker/

Yet we are told the average age of those dying is 82.

So are old people not even getting to ICU?

Edit: the post below kinda asks the same question.

Glad someone is reading. I always say if you want your news three days earlier come to boards.ie

3 days ago

Yeah shows how important physical distancing is within the community. Again credit where it is due offers much more insight to what is going on. Fair play to "EPI Team" in hse.

One thing from that report. Of the deaths thus far 90% of deaths have been in 65+.

However ICU admissions much less skewed to older ages so any age can end up there. Hopefully they all recover.

Well worth a read for everyone on here.

What were Sweden doing...something similar to Germany in how deaths were recorded?

They are only recording people who die from Covid with no underlying health issues.

Yes it used be on rte news for 20 seconds so many people died in China today forget about it it won't spread anywhere else

Well SARS and MERS stayed very far away and this was "just a flu'" to start with, so not really a surprise how we collectively responded initially. We'll know for the next one.

Governments knew. There were official NATO warnings sent early January, maybe Ireland is not a NATO member, but it doesn't really matter. All Countries knew this thing is coming and it's coming with heavy weapons.

There were dozens of school trips in northern Italy while the virus was rampant

Germany prepared well

Germany has one of the best healthcare systems in the world. Not just that, they have vast resources and testing capacity that few countries can match. They also very quickly stopped medical resources leaving the country as Switzerland found out. I think it’s very difficult to work out how any country is handling this in comparison to others.

I wonder if the weather is fine in June could they do the state exams out in the open? maybe that's the only way they will probably go ahead

Population size and density is incomparable with Ireland. Have you been to Madrid?

Yes, we do have a major advantage in that regard, which demonstrates how castastrophic it was for the Uk to not introduce strict lockdown measure sooner in London to slow the spread of the virus. We are now seeing the dire consequences of that ditherting.

I'd find that hard. The slightest breeze would blow your papers around and the brightness from direct sunlight. Unless some sort of tent structure?

Seems US has taken goods in a third party country on grounds they are US property because they are manufactured by a us company (3m). Wonder what possible consequences if they deploy similar measures.

Our gov will defo appease them. Better get orders in now.

Uk might start taking paracetamol made in Waterford.
We all know about the ventilators made here.

I wonder what will happen when the schools open in September must they all repeat a year even in primary school they will have to make their communion next year I can't see them going ahead this year

I hear a lot of guys saying that they hate the word "moist", with me it's "cluster" as in a cluster of haemorrhoids or genital warts, just saying, I'm hearing it a lot the last few weeks.

Over a 1000 health care workers are positive for Covid19. Claiming less than 10% directly due to work. Vast majority due to point contact from outside work.

If true this indicates there are a lot more positive cases in the population.

devnull · 04-04-2020 01:12PM

UK Update

Another 708 in hospital deaths just been confirmed
Another 3735 cases also confirmed.
Just 6570 people were tested yesterday.

Looking more closely at numbers it seems that whilst 6570 people were tested, 10,984 tests were actually carried out which suggests that more than 50% of patients are being tested more than once.

Are they so unsure of the accuracy of these tests that they are testing the majority of patients twice, or is testing people multiple times being done to boost the numbers in view of the governments new targets?

How is it xenophobic? Some people are blaming the Chinese government because of their actions not because they are Chinese.

In a weird way it might be better if there are hundreds of thousands infected and our icu and deaths level off over the coming weeks. Thus would mean CFR is much lower then anticipated and that we may have way more immune then we thought.

Best scenario appears to be that this has been more contagious then thought and most of us have it or had it. The deaths and sick are still horrible to see but it would certainly put a more reassuring context on the numbers. I hazzard a disappointing guess that this is not the case when you look at nuts figures in Italy/Spain.

Need to get those tests that check for antibodies. I had a temp of 39oC for a day couple of days weeks ago and didn’t think much of it. But for all I know my whole family had it and are immune.

60x > 1,000x, depending on whose figures you work off. 1,000x was a throw-away remark at UK press conference last week.

We probably have had north of 250,000 infections so far, using 60x, it has been wild in the community here since late Jan.
