Promising. I wonder what is the profile. Maybe it is burning out in the nursing homes.

Do you really have to use this language? 14 people are dead have a degree of respect ffs.

This is why lockdown must continue and we need to be very careful about relaxing restrictions.

I can’t say I understand it either, I question the legend used on the right of the example given though and if that little detail is wrong I wouldn’t have much faith in the rest of it.

It makes little sense, as the mortality can't echo the new cases as exactly as that. Deaths will continue for some time after new cases ease.

We get that people are dying but need to look at big picture.

Are you really that disappointed of over 15 less deaths today

And thankfully we will continue to because we can afford it.

Our national debt is what 150 billion so we obviously can't afford it.

Are we doing ok or just keeping it steady
I know testing is a huge thing but how we so high up on the charts compared to other countries with huge population density and are we ahead of Italy Spain and England in terms of restrictions quicker etc

Clicked on rte news site to check for Irish figures and the headline is uk figures am I missing something here can ireland not focus on its own crisis instead of pushing uk to the fore.

This coverage is highly politicised.

Numbers not looking good for your never ending lockdown.

It's a Bank Holiday week-end, deaths returned are usually anomalous at week-ends.

Testing is non-comparative, as Ireland's testing implementation is all over the place.

I forgot people who are dying wait until after bank holidays.

Very encouraging numbers today, but one data point does not make a trend. If we see this repeated over the course of 7 days it would be cause for huge celebration.

No one wants a never-ending lockdown and your continued attempt to paint anyone who disagrees with you this way says a lot more about you than them.

None of the 233 new cases in Singapore's resurgence are imported incidentally.

Statistics tend to remove the emotion out of what’s happening.

It would be like you telling me your wife, mom, sister , dad, brother died and I would shrug my shoulder and list them as a number then a person.

BanditLuke · 12-04-2020 04:58PM

R.I.P to all those who lost their lives today from this horrible curse of a virus.

Including the German cases a growth rate of 8.1% today. Excluding 4.8%.

Yes I think that's the correct way to look at it by adding in the German figures first as they are older and then taking today's new figure as a percentage of this.

Obviously we can afford it as we continued to do it when our debt/GDP ratio was much higher, and we are bound by UN targets to which we committed.

Exactly. They're old cases, and should be spread evenly over the previous weeks.

There's definitely some on here who get very excited at the idea of extended lockdowns and/or extended restrictions

Really hope they get a grip on it there soon. The world needs hope.

Full context,

'While the number of cases in the community has increased following a wave of imported cases, there has been some moderation in recent days, in the light of the safe distancing measures that have been put in place, the ministry added.

The number of imported cases rose in the middle of last month due to the large number of returnees, but has since come down to zero, it said.

Among the new cases, 51 are linked to known clusters, 15 are linked to other cases, and 167 are pending contact tracing. None are imported cases.

Of the 167 pending contact tracing, 141 are work permit holders who are mostly residing in dormitories, work sites, and other living quarters, said MOH.

This brings the total number of cases to 2,532.'

Is there any reason for deaths being different on a weekend? Doesn't make any sense
