You're assuming they've been selfish and irresponsible.

There hav been loads of people whining online about cars coming off of ferries. Turns out they're all irish residents coming home...
The traffic count on the N11 showed no appreciable increase in traffic at all yesterday.

So yes, the hysteria about people going down to holiday homes is overblown. There's no evidence that people are doing it in any real numbers.

I live near a west cork holiday destination village with many holiday homes.
The homes are empty most of the year, but have been filling up this week.

I can't vouch for the rest of the country just what I see here..

I agree but given it's a novel virus latency and future reactivation similar to chicken pox/shingles can't be ruled out either.

fair enough, you are entitled to your opinion and just for the record i really hope your version is correct, but to be honest i just don't see it.
Even if you are correct, if we unwind restrictions before a vaccine is available, we will be back to square 1. The virus wont have gone away.

Thats the thing they know it wont go away and Harris said today it wont be stamped out here. A point will come where the virus will co exist but to an extent that the hospitals can manage

That seems to be an issue in most countries. Some countries are over estimating the death rates and others are underestimating. I’m not sure if any countries are giving accurate figures rather than estimates.

I'm just wondering. Testing is so inconsistent and the numbers of deaths are being over and under reported. The figures from different countries can't even be properly compared due to differences in how deaths are being counted. Is there any value in just looking at the increase in deaths, let's say in a month, to what would normally occur in a region. I'd imagine that not all of the increase would be due to Covid as there are extra deaths occuring in some regions due to the knock on effect of the virus, but is this a simpler indicator of the effects of the virus on an area.

There is at least one paper from China on this. This Snopes link comments on the question.

How on earth if you have received 17000 results and 1000 new cases can you not include them as you receive them.RTE reported online on Sunday that the head of the HSE said the figures from Germany had been included since the previous Friday.

Totally messes up any figures that I had been basing my projections on.

I have been totally misled by the information and have been wrong in my posts.I apologise if I misled anyone.

It's not your fault,but howling and the hse definitely are loosing all credibility

ACitizenErased · 09-04-2020 04:44PM

Yes and the key is to give the hospitals as much chance to get the infrastructure in place to do this, if we reduce the restrictions too early, they will be overrun, and wont' get a chance to "breath".

the hospitals are just about managing at the moment with everyone supposedly locked away (even though we are not really) what do you think will happen when restrictions are lifted.
Even if we got c19 out of Ireland then lifted the restrictions, do you not think it will be imported back in on a flight from somewhere?
its here to stay until a vaccine is made unfortunately.

28 more deaths. 22 in the east. 2 in north west. 2 in south.2 in west. Median age 84.

Tony on Virgin One now.

ACitizenErased · 09-04-2020 04:46PM

8.2% growth today

Poorside · 09-04-2020 04:46PM

51,000 waiting to be tested, well that's just super.

is_that_so · 09-04-2020 04:47PM

About 8.3% increase, so no change in restrictions.

Nobody says it isnt here to stay but restrictions will be lifted. They've said that

Serious jump today.

RIP to the 28 who have passed away.

This can be attributed to the tests being sent back from Germany

Arghus · 09-04-2020 04:47PM

Fck. I thought maybe the numbers might hover around the 3oo and something mark. 500 is bad news.

but how can you lift restrictions if restrictions are the only thing keeping a lid on it?

I don't think that's right. Hopefully someone asks Dr Holohan about that.

The death figures are the biggest con-job.

The vast majority of these people have just reached the end of their very long natural lifespans.

Didn't say if included. Very confusing.

They are using a test for covid-19 in some US states which gives results inside 15 minutes. Apparently this was developed by an Irish company.
Why are we not using this? Like we are way behind with our results.
You could have two if these places set us in Dublin, one in Cork, Limerick and Galway and then some in the major satellite towns.

51,000 waiting on tests in ROI
