What’s the Garda overtime bill going to be by the time all ends I wonder?

Probably a very minor part of the total cost

Come on guys! Its not rocket science the numbers are just not adding up! Empty testing facilities!

Because they are struggling to do the labwork required. That's where the bottleneck has been throughout

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.

I don't think they specifically said 15k confirmed cases, just 15k infected.
If you allowed a country to be ravaged by the virus and didn't test, you can't very well say nobody is infected. The 15k is just the exponential curve, which Spain actually achieved. They went from 100-18,000 (confirmed cases) in the time we were told we could hit 15k, so yes, it's possible.
France reports 33% positive rates, which maybe the highest.

There was a big supply of domestically produced reagent made available in a project led by scientists in UCC and CUH, Teagasc and UL a few days ago. So that may be why we're able to ramp the numbers up.

I dont think we have the lab capacity to return todays new case number of 500 unless the German lab numbers are being drip fed in daily.

There is only so much the guards and the government can do. this is a global pandemic, and restricting movement as they are trying to do is limited in its effect.

People need to stand up to their obligations on this.

Going to holiday homes is nuts. Why? because it gets people into the mentality that they are away from an urban centre therefore they are less likely to get it (never mind spread it).
Their guard will drop and they will go into shops, hang out on streets etc etc rather than going out x1 or x2 max per week to shop.

Unfortunately, you can tell the guards anything such as you were visiting elderly parents to do shopping for them, going to or coming from. Then drive on down the road and do whatever u like really.

New Zealand police and government seem to have done enough.

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.

Could be just the effects of a lack of vitamin D on your body maybe?

Remember the days of this thread where most people could see what was going to happen even if we hoped it never would? Would it have been far less damaging socially and economically to have closed the borders when things were getting out of hand in Italy? Just think - now the travel industry would be on its knees but on the plus side the rest of the economy would be business as usual and no lockdowns.

Would doing so just have kicked our current situation down the road (in time)?

Our health service is coping. Having allowed the Italians and the Cheltenham goers back in with no health checks may have accelerated the spread of Covid-19 but it helped prime our country for the crisis at luckily? the "optimal" level it seems.

I didn't hear the positive % for today's cases.
But going by the recent 15% it would have meant 3333 tests.
Even just testing hospital cases (UK has a ~40% positive rate) would be 1250.
But we only have about 1600 hospitalized in total, since this began.
I don't know. My head hurts now!

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 is a reason the Chinese were disinfecting roads and walls. Things are not as they seem

The ratio of cases requiring hospital care is still too high to allow the virus sweep through the population.

If there wasn't a functioning economy then there won't be enough money to have a functioning health service and then lives will be lost anyway - that's what Peston said tonight on News at Ten (ITV).

well you see, I be thinkin',that they proberly wouldn't mind us drawing that down now, cos if it helps get us movin' the otherside of this virus thingy. That should be benifical to them too. In layperson terms if you know what I mean like.

Money does not exist as a thing in itself. It is a means of exchange between human beings.

To get to the "new" way we need efficient and effective testing and tracking. Not the sh1t system we have at the moment. Also quarantining and testing people coming to the island of Ireland
