I knew that the day would come that I could say to Mrs Seafields I told you leaving up the outside Christmas lights was a good idea!

Quantum Erasure · 11-04-2020 05:35PM

in what format will our figures be released tonight? will they just add in everything they have and say '500 odd additional cases, total now 8,600' or whatever

What a loon? People out to get fresh air and vitamin D. Surely if you have to drive and park up, you're more than 2km from home.

Yeah massive DJ setup in one of the front gardens blaring out crap music through the whole of my estate. Well intentioned but then too many now who have been drinking in the front gardens for hours in the sunshine I can see some roaming around into their neighbours gardens and houses its a total disaster

These estate sessions needs to barred by government

There's nothing more degenerate than blaring music out in the open air where other people live.

Would we not be better with isolation centers and isolate everybody with symptoms? I'd preferably like everybody to be tested and all positives isolated but the HSE thinks differently.

well thats what city west if for... but they don't want to do it wholesale

I read up there on the lantern thing and yeah it looks like it is not a good idea. So won't release any. The add on rte just a few minutes ago clearly showed Chinese lanterns being released for this thing tonight though

coastwatch · 11-04-2020 05:43PM

There are 20150 hospitalised cases currently in the UK accoding to Pritti Patel.
That would indicate total cases of about 88000, based on 23% requiring hospitalisation (which is percentage here)
Thats only about 10000 more cases than currently reported.
That's good news as the fear is the true number if cases could be multiples of reported cases.

Should take their details, car reg etc, and tell them if not in the home on some random day next week, the €2,500 fine will be issued and o/r 6 months in jail.

In reality not sure what will happen

Why would this be a fear? True cases being multiples higher is the best we can hope for right now, it would mean the rate of hospitalisation / ICU / deaths is lower. There's no way they've captured most of their cases, we already know that a lot of people are asymptomatic so unlikely to have been tested.

Why were the old age homes not first to be closed off weeks ago can't understand that

Exhibit A

This is why the lack down is here to stay.

Are people supposed to stay imprisoned inside their homes and not even go into their own gardens with their own household members? No. They aren't. Stop being ridiculous.

I know of a family where the wife and child are in the summer home because the father is on the frontline and they’re isolating from eachother since March to protect the child with asthma.
Don’t see an issue with this as they’re not going back and forth to the houses.

Obviously the people who take their families on a mini holiday to their holiday home and go back and forth between main house and holiday home isn’t necessary.

The one a family member of mine is in has been closed to visitors since March 6th, that's a full week before the first restrictions came into place, so they were closed off weeks ago.

A high number of undetected cases increases the risk of continuing community spread.

Expect George Lee's official figures in 30 minutes, after he's had time to have an argument.

Poorside · 11-04-2020 05:50PM

553 cases confirmed by Irish labs and a further 286 by German labs,. Balls.
