Vets can give us the ivermectin.

So when is it expected to peak in Ireland ?

I am of the view we are at our peak when it comes to daily new cases and deaths. We'll probably just limp along like this for the next few weeks. Up and down day by day between 15‐30 deaths and between 200‐400 new cases

Spain peaked 19 days after their lockdown.
Italy peaked 18 days after their's
And France after 16 days
We locked down 7 days ago (feels like months ago)
So a peak possibly in 9-12 days.
I would hope the schools closing, pubs closing and Leo's Paddy's day speech would be seeing dividends by now.
If a high proportion of our deaths are from nursing homes, it maybe hard to see the effects of the earlier closures.
Needless to say, the experts would know all those details and they are the ones advising the government.

We locked down a month ago in Norway things arent spiralling out of control.Only very old people dying (ave age 84),most others who have it show symptoms of a mild cold.
Are the hospitals over run in Dublin?

Hi GM228,

Your table is too "wide" for the format of the site.
Can you re-size it, or drop all columns after Recovery% ?

Table automatically stands wide enough in a browser on full site, or if in touch becomes automatically scrollable left or right.

People seem to be interested in the average trends over X amount of days and I'm not sure there being reported anywhere else anyway?

As to an edit - have you looked at the character count :eek:

He is thank you for asking.
Not an easy time for him or my family as a whole.
But everyone is affected one way or the other with this situation

No ICU are still well within capacity. Its much less than the surge they predicted thankfully.

How do you think it is going in Sweden?

I think the same, but we need to keep up the social distancing for how long I dont know,
I wonder how we unwind the 'lockdown'

deaglan1 · 05-04-2020 08:35PM

Sobering when you remove microstates - our deaths per 1 M pop are high enough, just below Sweden, the country that has curtailed nothing!!!

Trump was telling the doctors last night what drugs they should be giving their patients:eek:. Who knew he had a medical qualification?

Eire? Who refers to Ireland as Eire?

In my experience the only people who refer to Ireland as Eire is the British.

And yes, they're Ireland only numbers. NI is another country with its own stats.

Oh? Seems to be on the front of my passport

gabeeg · 05-04-2020 08:36PM

I'd like if the taoiseach was on the blower to heads of states and suppliers of medical equipment, rather than manning a phoneline where half the job is telling people they don't have enough symptoms to get tested.

Looney1 · 05-04-2020 08:38PM

I'm really struggling with the strategy here. We keep the numbers down as much as possible with lockdown. Then we let the 99.5% of people who have not got the virus back out into the world to set off another surge?????????

A table like this will only make since when every country has defeated the virus (not sure what defeated looks like)

better that way then testing 90% hypochondriacs.

Im not too concerned,eyes on Norway and Ireland.
I still dont trust much about this situation.

giveitholly · 05-04-2020 08:40PM

Also that table above can't be taken at full value because some countries are not recording people who die in nursing homes from the virus

I'd wonder about the actual accuracy of that chart. Many countries I feel are under reporting their numbers or using a different classification for cause of death.

I personally think we could go back to the origional measures announced by the taoiseach in Washington as they were doing enough.

Exactly, the US is behind us there which they clearly won't be when the final tally is called. There'll be plenty more too.

They're not hypochondriacs - they're people with symptoms of a killer virus in the middle of a ****ing pandemic.

If you had a cough and shortness of breath right now you can be damn sure you'd want a test. You wouldn't get one of course. No fever.

Well, do you think the ones above are under reporting? I mean, youd assume Sweden are accurate.

That's a meaningless league table as we are all at different stages of infection and at different points in our responses. Only at the end will we be able to draw any conclusions.

It's not meaningless if we're doing worse than many who had their first cases before ours! We're doing worse than the US ffs. And Trump is a joke.

My guess is that it will be a staggered approach.

E.g. all workers who can work from home will still be asked to do so to allow those who cant return to work

In the part of Dublin 2 where I work that would be at least 20000 less people going in to offices

We've had a lot of measures in place for much longer than a week. A lot of the businesses in my area that were part of the new measures announced last week had already been closed a few weeks.

I've been working from home for a month already, not a lot changed last weekend.

The strategy is that there is none, well no exit strategy anyway. At some stage we are going to have to take our chances. For most of us it will probably be OK but it’s really hard to see how the at-risk groups, in particular, can be advised to rejoin the world while the virus is still around. If it’s dangerous for them now it will be dangerous then.
There is no easy answer.

In theory, if we all stay in and stop spreading it, eventually everyone who has it will either die or recover and there will be no way for it to spread, IN THEORY...in my opinion this strategy could have worked if we done it 6 weeks ago when the writing was on the wall
