No I've read it when this was initially agreed a few weeks ago, we cant have both the cta and the schengen. Cta is around longer

Ah I know. I was just saying people see a headline and go with that, but when you read the details, it explains it.

I dont think so.I do not think we are near the point where we are near being careful who gets a bed and who doesn't.Yesterdays press briefing stated that there were over 100 ICU beds still available...

Of course we are. We reached that point weeks ago when we cancelled all elective surgeries.

Is it conceivably possible to get the R below 1?

It's a mathematical certainty. Either we get it below 1 by concerted action or we eventually run out of people who've not been infected. Once we have no further infections R=0

Of course when we can get and keep it below 1 is the real question

Anything worth watching from TV this week?

I only watched Claire Byrne. Don't usually watch TV, so not familiar with the schedule and so on.

well meant one residency oh the embassy. who else?

There's a nursing home in the Park, St Mary's Hospital.
The older part of the hospital still treats chest/respiratory cases, although its been winding down as a hospital for years.

Who cares? They're doing a fantastic job keeping the community safe and keeping in touch with the most vulnerable

I care. This money is being borrowed and could be put to far better use in my opinion ie proper ppe with a focus on nursing homes where there is an actual problem. Instead of haranguing people out for a drive in their own cars. No issue with their work delivering and calling to elderly, that’s separate. But roadblocks all over practically empty motorists are an utter nonsense. Half a dozen Gardai on several I’ve seen.

All restrictions will have to be lifted at some point , even Ireland ,

The basic need for a lockdown is so our hospitals can cope , once we do this and numbers stagnate in our hospitals , restrictions will be lifted , with increased testing capacity we try to catch those cases quick , if we can’t do that we lockdown again until the hospitals can cope again ,rinse and repeat until we get a vaccine , this is it for the foreseeable!

100%, by being vigilant and not letting the cat out of the bag now we are giving society and hospitals and all services the best platform to fight and fix.

Hopefully, it would be no loss. It could be a great time of year if the extreme panic buying was stopped.

Yes, the plus side to exponential growth is exponential decay, which happens once the R0 goes below one. Barring any imports, the virus fizzles out and cases drop to zero.

Exponentials are endlessly fascinating

Murder she wrote is on late on TG4, not sure which night. Got stuck watching one night, was an episode I never saw before. Jessica is so unfortunate.

The ambulance crew are triaging patients themselves. I've a little personal experience of this myself. They're doing a bloody good job, and keeping the hospitalisation rate to a minimum while still making sure people left home are monitored regularly and ok.

Same goes for ICU. In the first week of this crisis they would have admitted people to ICU that would have no chance of being admitted today.
And probably rightly so. They'll be getting better and better at identifying serious cases as each day passes.

Basically the only number worth looking at is the death rate, and for a variety of reasons that's not all that reliable either.

So from reading that, only people needing the hospital go to the hospital (based on the ambulance crew checking temp and O2 stats etc...) Which makes sence to keep beds available. I guess the stepdown facility in City West is to move people from hospital to recover once they are over the worst. Again keeping beds available to the max.

The ICU admissions, I assume they weren't specifically admitted to be intubated, just to be monitored more carefully?

Even under the current difficult circumstances, this is still a dreadfully produced video

It is however jammed full of experts and very informative.
Although very UK centric.

Keepers, foremen and many more including retired former workers.
There are plenty of other people now this is an old story.

would never have thought 40 households. Many of them over 70. I hope they are all keeping well and safe.

That's not true.

They're extremely interesting initially, but all of a sudden become immensely boring.

I was more referring to Covid-19 patients rather than elective surgeries.Many of the elective surgeries would have been cancelled in anticipation of a Covid-19 surge.

Posters like this don't seem to get it that it's only not 15000 because of the measures taken.

It's very hard to get that into their heads.
Instead they seem to have a "I told you so" condescension to the very guys who made the prediction that ensured the mitigation was put in place in the first place.

It's maddening. They just don't understand exponential growth or something

For us to have hit 15k, just under half of people tested would have had to be positive for Covid. Has any country got a 50% infection rate?? We’d only done 42k tests up to Tuesday.

Genuine question, and sorry if its been asked before, i have not been keeping up with the threads so closely.

I've been locked down since the day the schools were closed. I've left the house to shop only 2 times and the other 2 times had it delivered. Wiped food packages down with soapy water, etc. Yet right now, in the last 3 days I have developed a cough and runny nose. Even if this is not coronavirus, how the hell did I catch anything being so isolated ?

There's definitely something going around (unless we're all getting an incredibly mild dose of the coronavirus). I'm similar to you, haven't left my house - literally - in two weeks, but have had something nagging at me on and off for the last month or so.

Do you live with people? They could be passing it on to you, or even in those two times that you were at the shops.

When it looked like SF might get into power I was fantasizing about her getting Minister for Health just to see her fall flat on her face and to punish the people who voted for her.
I had visions of hospitals bursting into flames and GPs jumping en masse off the cliffs of moher.
