Don't be saying that.

There are people on here who want to go all in on protecting people in nursing homes to the detriment of everything else.

What is the link between protecting people in nursing homes and increased calls to Pieta House.

I can’t believe what you have written here.

It’s horrible.

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

Let us hope it is not the virus reactivating.

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.

Rte have a hard on for UK figures and updates since day 0. The amount of air time given to the NI and UK status is an embarrassment to the irish national broadcaster.

Quantum Erasure · 12-04-2020 05:02PM

The elderly deaths will hang over us like a black cloud for many years to come

After all their life struggles they deserved some peace in the end

RIP to them all

That's a good question however I can't answer you with any clarity until Wednesday evening.

Anything else is just a guess.

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.

Eh?? Less people died today. You should be glad of that under these awful current circumstances. What is wrong with people on this forum ffs

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

Off course not, but the process of passing the data up the chain does in many cases.

A note of caution on UK death figures produced over the bank holiday weekend where 737 new deaths were announced today...
This could be applied to a lot of places i'd have thought.

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

its the delayed reporting to the central office, and then for the stats to be collated and reported to the public the next day

Completely unavoidable unfortunately.

As someone who lost an elderly family member, it has been hard to process but its not right to blame anyone in Ireland for this.

Numbers not looking good for your never ending lockdown.

Cant exactly work you out easy or what exactly your proposing as regards handling this. If everything was opened up again what would the numbers be probably double triple what they are now.

Bigger picture is to flatten the curve as much as possible and to save as many as possible that's it that's all there is at the moment. We shall see what they say next on the 5th of May, there may come a time that yes we will have to live with the virus as we go on with our lives but that's not now, lets just do what were being asked to do and take the next steps whenever that is be it the 5th of May or after.

Bad news from down the page in that link. Covid-19 is a stealth virus.

Covid-19 appears to be more contagious than initially thought. And more people than expected are carrying it without showing symptoms.

The US Centres for Disease Control (CDC) has published a report suggesting each Covid-19 carrier will likely infect five or six other people.

And the British Medical Journal has just published a study based on experience in Italy suggesting some 78 per cent of people with Covid-19 show no symptoms.

Together, these elements make the virus especially hard to contain. It also means a much higher level of vaccination would be needed before it can be choked.

About 85 per cent of any given population will have to have resistance before they can begin to go about 'normally', without offering a chance for the virus to spread.

The R0 is likely to be 5.7 and if 85% of the population needs to be immunized/infected, achieving the so called 'Herd Immunity' is that much more difficult to obtain.

This virus keeps throwing up nasty surprises.

It may fluctuate a bit until the effects of the lockdown take hold.

Not blaming anyone it's nobody's fault

But I think this will be the overriding memory from all of this

New York approaching 10,000 deaths

That is astoundingly high number of deaths. The population of New York state is just under 20 million, it is experiencing a death rate 50% higher thanItaly

For all the talk of Italy's old age..high pollution in the north lots of smokers etc blah blah being the cause of it's high death rates it clearly was not the main contributing reason. The average age in New York is just 32.8 years old, consideraly younger than any European country

Its looking like population density is the absolutely most crucial factor in the death rate outcome, with everything else a distant second

There's no positives with people dying. And especially if it's going to take 10 or 20 years of someone if they're only 70.

The reality is these cases are likely 7 or 10 days old. Id say the amount of cases actually recorded in the last few days has been much lower than those reported today.

It's not a lack of positivity, it's your lambasting anybody who supports the current restrictions as advocating a permanent lockdown or as enjoying the present situation.

People have different perspectives.

You can celebrate less people dying today then yesterday. Enjoy it.

Others see it differently.

Why were the German figures added today to the total? Made it seem as though there was a large jump, when in there was actually a reduction on yesterday
