    It's kind of what Tony was saying in his briefing: while the rise in cases is 'manageable' we need to get it down even further or there will be that surge that will hit the hospitals hard. We're still tracking Italy nearly exactly, so if we're two weeks behind them (perhaps not even if we have a backlog in results) we might see further restrictions needing to be enforced.

    I wasn't watching the briefing at all, unfortunately.

    3 or more diagnosed in a small area (eg house, nursing home, Clayton Hotel (OK let's not go there:pac:)) within a 72 hour period is what I read. Not sure how big the area can be - if for example 3 in a village would count, but the idea is that one person may have infected others at the location rather than people independently contracting it


    Do tell.

    And if reported to official channels they would probably take their time to investigate. Probably only way to sort out would be to sneaky video

    maybe chech out the new legislation . i know when checking the old infectious disease legislation hefty fines and jails terms in it. might cover this if still in the new one.

    Can I clarify, when they say that there are 331 newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ireland today, bringing the total number to 4,604 in the Republic of Ireland, are the 4,604 still current, or do they include previous cases that might now be recovered? Thanks.

    I take it to be total number of confirmed cases including fatalities, those in ICU or in hospital and recovered.

    My friends 35 year old brother is in a coma and on a ventilator the last week. Not looking too good for him. He worked in an office with 25 people and another worker is in the same icu. Both of them have asthma. Before he got really sick he was saying they was a girl in there with all the symptoms who refused to go home and their manager didn't care. Two people critical or worse because of that carelessness. Really is important that we keep this going because you don't know who your actions might affect.

    Bar a few notable countries, I don't see any countries as reporting significant decreases in cases being reported. We're (all) in the very early stages still!

    China started dropping off pretty quickly after lockdown, not just curve flattening...

    Other way round. BCG was one I got in primary school. Rubella as a baby - the MMR vaccine.

    BCG was part of the childhood immunization program. All Infants got the shot after birth. My eldest two (12 & 8) still got it. The youngest (4) was meant to get it too, but the vaccine couldn’t be sourced in Ireland, so youngest was skipped completely.
    I am not sure, if babies still get it in Ireland or if they still experience problems with vaccine resources, though.

    The TV channels now need to show us how to use face masks properly . More and more are wearing them and more and more making them
    Instead of telling us they COULD do more harm than good SHOW us how to use them .

    China should be held to account for what they have done but the notion that Spain and Italy will no longer exist in 6 months is simply untrue. Their economies and societies will be hugely damaged but they will rebuild and recover like most if not every country that has been effected by this.

    If the delay in testing was due to a global shortage of reagent (whatever that is) how come there's no shortage in the German labs tests are now being sent to? Or would it not be easier to procure reagent from those labs? Excuses have been made here in relation to testing delays. I still can't fathom how new cases are being reported as "new" rather than "results confirmed from test date of" and then accumulate for each test date over time as results are received.

    Over on the Worldometer site there's a handy chart. I think the number of cases with the number of tests combined with the number of tests per 1m is as important as deaths. Makes interesting reading.

    I don’t think we can read anything into cases in this country because let’s be honest the testing in Ireland is a complete mess.

    Serious doubt over whether China`s figures are accurate.

    That's terrible to hear/ That is insane. I was concerned about office space initially too. That attitude where people don't stay at home is so wilfully ignorant / negligent.
    I had a call from a utility provider and the person was clearly in a call centre.
    Why are they not working from home. It is not essential work and can be done remotely with minor IT investment. Government really needs to stop vast roomfuls of people spewing hot air day in day out in pursuit of sales. A large number probably also share accommodation given the younger profile of such jobs.

    Seems that actions like these will quite easily make this pandemic rumble on no matter what the rest of the country does.

    Jesus that's awful, really hope they will be OK. My OH is asthmatic and this is my ongoing worry for him too. Cannot believe someone was allowed in showing the symptoms - I hate office "heroes" at the best of times who come in and infect everyone, but you would think during a pandemic that there would be a bit more common sense prevailing. Fingers crossed for both of them.

    Ireland with 4500 cases now and growing. Could we get to 60% of the population without complete lockdown. Death rate and icu rate is high so far

    Increase of 10 in ICU


    Where can you see the number currently in ICU?
    I can only see 158 admitted to ICU from that tweet and I thought that the number of admissions for 24 hours previously was 156.

    The nursing homes are a disaster. A lot of grieving family members are going to be furious and rightly so. Private healthcare is simply not up to scratch. How can it be when it's purpose is to make a profit.

    That nursing home needs to be referred immediately to hiqa, hse and gardai.

    There should be sanctions on them for sure for their disgusting bio hazardous markets and disgusting eating habits and for all the animal cruelty of a large scale.

    Can I ask a question.

    I am currently in isolation with Covid symptoms so apologises if this has been asked multiply times before but I have barely the energy to lift my phone let alone read through endless threads on vivid.


    My question is this - if only a small percentage been tested are getting a positive result (I think it's 26% approx but that's not too important) - what is wrong with the other 75 % who are negative.

    Is there something else going around or what, theese people obviously had severe enough symptoms to contact their gp and warrent a visit to a test centre or admittance to hospital so whats the deal there.

    Accounting for some hypercondra who demanded testing and some front line workers in health care and the gardai who may have been tested as a precaution what's the deal with the rest of them.

    I know two people who were rushed to hospital and kept in for 5-6 days and then released after a negative result.


    I'm not suggesting there's some sort of conspiracy but as I've laid in bed these last 5 days and watched sky news, cnn and bbc news I haven't seen this discussed
