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.

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.

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

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.

Coyote · 04-04-2020 08:22PM

Number updated to match today's report
updated the died rate to 2% to closes match numbers reported but it's still less then reported numbers
the number for the last two days might high due to tests being send offshore and the backlog being reported
I know that some tests done on Friday 27th got results yesterday

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

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.

Many many countries similar to Ireland's population are doing far better than us in terms of deaths

It's the same rationale behind closing the schools for 2 weeks initially. If it's working logically it has to be left in place to maximize its impact

Why do you think we'll continue to climb for another two weeks. That would be 4 weeks after the initial isolation measures. At that stage we should be down to mostly interfamily transmissions.

I think it's around 15 days if they need a ventilator.

Kansas with a population density 1/1,265th that of NYC.

If the bodies fail to pile up in Texan cities like Dallas and Austin then will people admit that (scientifically unproven) lockdown is a load of bollocks?

Exactly, just look at Italy, their numbers arent rising but theyre not falling either so its gonna be a long time. Even Dr Cillian has said we'll have to live with restructions until theres a vaccine.

If we keep going this way, we may have hit the peak yesterday and cases should continue to come down by the end of the month largely.

I'm beginning to wonder is there even such a thing as "flattening the curve" I'm also convinced there are 2 strains of this virus knocking about. A neighbour was moved from a local hospital to beaumount a few weeks back to be prepared for a triple bypass in the mater. She's also diabetic and has a large hernia. She was put in a ward with other patients who subsequently were tested positive for covid-19. Last Thursday she herself tested positive. 9 days later she is still fine with only mild symptons. Now riddle me that.

I wonder this too. People like George Alagiah who has stage 4 cancer and is in active treatment getting only mild symptoms and recovering from it and others with relatively mild underlying conditions succumbing.

In Europe? Very few. Mostly old iron curtain countries who think little of introducing lockdowns and travel restrictions. Show me where are all these comparable liberal democracies are that are doing so well.

In urban areas, if there are no containment measures, Covid-19 will have a fabulous time.

My mother, 70 years old with various underlying conditions - asthma, irregular heart rhythm, under active thyroid and prone to really bad chest infections in the past - has had a bout of something for almost 2 weeks now...ironically started day after Boris announced lockdown here. Started off with vomiting and stomach pain, then an irregular chesty cough and has been up and down since but mainly improving. Today she says she feels back to normal again apart from the cough which has been abating. At the start I hoped to god it wasn't corona but now she seems over it I'm thinking that's some bloody coincidence isn't it? Especially as we are in south east of England. I thought if mum got this then at the very least she would be in hospital but is it possible that even many over 70s with health conditions may just be able to get over this at home? One thing I'd say is all her conditions are very well controlled whereas some people don't have this whether through bad luck or choice. I'm probably clutching at straws but the timing is suspect right?

Over 50% at that age don't requite hospitalization. It probably is CV 19. This is completely widespread much more than official numbers indicate

sid waddell · 04-04-2020 08:28PM

Speculating about a relaxation of restrictions before April is both crazy and deluded.

It's also only setting people up for disappointment, and that's what we don't want.

I can't understand why people are paying attention to the likes of the Karol Sikora chap in England who seems to get chirpier every day as the body count keeps going up.

It's a bizarre sort of political narrative and not connected to reality.

I disagree, because logically the longer it goes on for the greater the impact and knock on affect on other things. I'm not talking about the economy here, but other health issues.

There will be suicides, a deterioration in mental heath, are people allowed out for appointments with therapists? I wonder are they considered essential, some people would have been attending before all of this...and if it is considered essential and allowed I would imagine the poor people feel awful when they're grilled by the guards on where they're going.

There was a woman on the radio who had her life prolonging cancer treatment stopped and offered pain relief instead, stuff like that can't continue.

There's people in abusive homes, spouses and children. God only knows what they are going through and if we will see murder suicides.

There has to be some kind of normality brought back if numbers don't escalate.

It’s all about profile. Covid deaths are higher profile than the issues you have mentioned. That is why that issue is being prioritised.

Completely disagree. Some people need to remain positive, the thought of lockdown lasting months and months could massively impact their already fragile mental health, and we definitely don't want that either!!

No one here knows anything about how long it's going to last, no one has a crystal ball, so it's not crazy and deluded to speculate on restrictions being relaxed.

Yes, ive kept tabs on them all and the ones still suffering badly were slow to react and had high community transfer before any messures were taken. They also saw exponential growth. Doubling of death's every 2 to 3 days. We have seen none of that. We have had very consistent rates for over a week now. Too many doom merchants around this place.

Graphs don't run in straight lines. You cannot determine a peak on one day's data on limited testing, which lets face it, ours is. You need at least a week's data to ascertain a levelling off pattern. And even when the curve starts flattening, the situation is still extremely serious.

What is the lived density though (a more useful metric than simply dividing population by square kilometres)? Kansas has a number of urban areas where the population density would probably be as high as NYC. It's also bordered by Kansas City which is in Missouri but abuts Kansas state. The metro population for Kansas City is over 2,000,000.

Charged for negligence certainly as they have failed in their duty of care.

Honestly after hearing of a girl whose manager asked her to come into work straight after coming home from the states, these numpty brainless jobsworth managers are so incredibly short sighted and dangerous. They are one of the biggest threats to us combating the virus.

Yes but if new cases continue to drop throughout next week, then eventually they will likely give it 2 more weeks before loosening restrictions slightly.

One day's figures can't constitute a trend, by any stretch of the imagination. The peak is at least 10 days away. And after new cases reduce (not disappear by any means) the death rate will climb for weeks afterwards.
