    I don't have numbers for current ICU occupants, but the expected continued flattening of the ICU admissions is worth showing.

    I think we're well on track for a partial relaxing of restrictions before the end of April if this trend continues.

    Our death toll for the amount of cases we have and our population is high. Why are we doing so poorly compared to some other countries?

    A family member has passed from it, and essentially yes.

    They initially thought cause of death was a heart problem as he was elderly with a heart condition. Post mortem revealed it was the virus which caused it, he had a mild cold essentially. His cause of death is the virus apparently.

    RIP to your relative.

    Fairly stupid of them to have unleashed it on their own population first and give us a heads up a few months in advance.

    has anyone heard from the uighurs lately?

    I think we are particularly rubbish at testing and thus the death / cases ratio is high because we are missing a lot of cases. But looking at the death / population ratio we are still Bette than many European countries (which could change though).

    Other countries haven't tested at the same level as us.....

    And then go back into restrictions in a few weeks when there is a new curve to flatten? Is that the way it is going to be for a while now .

    Another 17 deaths unfortunately but all things considered we're doing remarkably well, im sure two weeks ago, seeing the numbers that have unfolded across Europe, if anyone told you we'd be at the numbers we're at you'd have taken it with both hands.

    We're a day closer to seeing our isolation measures taking effect and we haven't seen a totally disastrous day yet. Some things could have been better but all things considered theres very few countries we'd swap places with.

    I don't think it's nonsense to suggest that. Going back to the restrictions we had originally would be a good move at the end of April. They were doing a pretty good job.

    No bcg is given as a baby, the supply ran out from April 2015 the decision was made that we no longer needed the vaccination. It is now off the immunisation schedule.

    Your bcg is the triangle scaring on your arm. No children under 5 have this now. MMR is still given all injections go into the child's thigh., they also get the "6 in 1" and rotavirus which is given as drops.

    We as children would also have received the polio vaccination along with the sugar cube in primary school. I think in one of the junior classes. Then the girls would receive a booster rubella at around 12, so 6th class.

    We also got the meningitis c injection too whilst in school. I got it in 5th year I believe when it was first introduced. Babies are given it now I think.

    Would hope for a bit sooner than that but agree with the sentiment

    Looking at that graph, if we continue on that path, come the 3rd week in April the **** will begin to hit the fan with ICU beds all taken up.

    Then the panic, reality, deaths and hysteria will set in.

    People will die. In such a small country it's inevitable we will all be affected. Some people haven't grasped that yet.
    There will be no partial relaxation for a good while longer

    Of course there's a chance.

    Nothing worse than the people who reckon they're experts on lockdowns and pandemics and the lifting of restrictions even though we've never been through this before!!

    Me too. I'm not sure if the draconian measures announce last Friday were entirely necessary. The original measures went far enough and still kept part of the economy going and gave people some freedoms to go to hardware and DIY stores.

    Do we know in average how long a Covid 19 patient spends in ICU?

    Insanity. Many states, such as Kansas, Texas, Arkansas still have their pubs and restaurant open.

    Somebody called the hospital where my friend works and put a message into the manager saying she shouldn’t be working because her son has the virus.

    A) Her son doesn’t have the virus.
    B) He doesn’t live in this country, so we haven’t seen him in 6 months anyway.

    So just a little note to people if you’ve receive info please check it out before acting on it , it can be very damaging otherwise.

    How do you figure that. We've hovered around the 100-120 people in ICU without any significant growth for days now. I'd imagine it will get busier but the figures to date to not show a significant growth in ICU or death.
