    It's amazing how different all the figures are by countries, positive test rates, tests per capita, death rates are all over the place.

    E.g US 522k cases from 2.6 million tests - 20% Positive
    Spain 162k cases from 355k tests - 46% Positive
    Russia 13.5k cases from 1.2 million tests - 1.1% Positive

    What gives?

    Yep they certainly failed some posters the way they go on about them, but that could be more down to the person themselves.

    Why would a SINGLE person coming in result in a cycle similar to one that was caused by MANY people coming in ??

    Notwithstanding the fact that we will be on the lookout for new cases and in a position to contact trace immediately.

    The worldwide 1.6 million cases all started with 1 case. Can you understand that?

    400% increase in number of people experiencing cardiac arrest at home in New York city lately, thought to be contributing to a considerable undercount of the true number of people dying from coronavirus in the city

    Lad there could've been 100,000 cases in Dublin, no one knows.

    Yes, the best indicator is the amount of people deemed to be candidates for ICU, that number is accurate.

    Dunno where that other number comes from - but it's wrong too.

    You are saying that two different situations are in fact the same.

    It’s been so long since the backlog started I would think a lot of them have recovered,

    I would also think if any of them ended up in hospital that there would be duplicate as I’m sure they would have been tested again

    Very few young healthy people are dying everyday from this in Ireland. If anyone under 40 with no known health issues dies of coronavirus it is big news in the country where it occurs

    Compare Ireland to Denmark similar population yet we have 4,000 more cases. Compare Ireland to Czech Republic , they have double the population and 4000 fewer cases than us.

    I believe we will peak in the coming days. The german results at this point are meaningless as far as the trend is concerned because while they may add to the total number they are most likely results from swabs taken several weeks ago.
    So the 553 cases today and its equivalent number over the next few days is the one to watch. As I said I believe this daily number will fall next week.

    The deaths are rising but that is going to happen as the overall number is rising, it will take several weeks more more the deaths to start to fall I believe.

    When all this is over there will have to be a serious look at the deficiencies that led to 'reagent' shortages , lack of capacity in labs, lack of PPE and the disgrace that has seen 20% of all 9000 cases so far being found among healthcare professionals. There is also the shameful fact that of all the OECD countries Ireland has the lowest number of ICU beds. Its totally unacceptable that an island nation off the west of Europe has more cases and deaths than Denmark which is only 1600 km away from Italy.

    Healthy and under 66?

    I would say 5 a day absolute tops.

    Probably less than 3.

    On the lookout for new cases for a disease where half the people who have it don't have any symptoms?

    Where up to 30% of people with it will test negative?

    And when we've lifted lockdowns, infectious enough that every carrier will infect more than five other people?

    Some countries are only testing sick in hospital. Others are community testing. You cannot compare countries due to this. Deaths are the same. Different criteria every where

    You are saying that two different situations are in fact the same.

    I'm curious. How are they in anyway different? Person A has virus, passes to person B,C,D,E. They go on to pass it on etc. You can understand that, yes?
    Why would the hypothetical person A on a plane or ferry in my example be any different ? Do you think that contact tracing will prevent spread? There are stories on these threads from people working in GP practices of Covid positive patients popping into shops and others of the travelling to post letters. Contact tracing is a nonsense.
