People not doing what they should, parties, visiting friends, etc...

A lad in the restricitions thread had family over yesterday - despite his sister being a nurse living in the same house and not wanting to have anything to do with it - that's the type of people that we have to deal with.

Reminds of me idiots when in college - you know ones that you have to do assignments with and think to yourself can't wait to get away from them, as they are so spaced out from reality etc, - and you get away from them, and see them in society and think how f**ked up their life is, the problem now is that we need this same idiots, who someone should have kicked sense into when they were in school/college, but no one did, to behave normally - but no chance of that happening.

The Irish Times need to be clearer on how they are reporting their figures. I got an awful fright when I got the notification on my phone that there were 992 new cases when in reality it’s 527. The additional 465 are tests sent to Germany which are weeks old and many of those would now be recovered. It’s very misleading to include the two together and make it seem like they are all new cases. The German cases are old.

They’re newly diagnosed, what part of that don’t you understand? They SHOULD be included, not all of us are in favour of Chemical Ali type reporting of numbers.

They should be included in the overall number but they are NOT new cases. Calling them new cases greatly distorts the current rate of growth

Those in the german cases are a backlog that the person has been self isolated regardless of the test result. They're either recovered or have been through the hospital system.

Of the 31 additional deaths announced this evening, 18 were female and 13 were male, and the majority of cases occurred in the east of the country.

Dr Tony Holohan said that there were reports of an underlying condition for 25 of the 31 people and that the median age was 82.

So, looking at the RTE website and something isn't adding up

"31 more people have died from Covid-19 in Ireland bringing the overall death toll to 365.

527 more cases of the coronavirus have been diagnosed in the Republic. In addition, there are a further 465 confirmed cases of Covid-19 from the backlog of tests at the laboratory in Germany.

With the German figures included, there is now a total of 10,647 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Ireland.

Of the 31 additional deaths announced this evening, 18 were female and 13 were male.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan said that there were reports of an underlying condition for 25 of the 31 people who died and that the median age was 82.

So far, there have been 365 deaths linked to Covid-19 in this country.

68%, or 247 people, died in hospital. 37 people, or 10%, died in intensive care.

Speaking this evening, Dr Holohan said that people as young as 30 and as old as 105 have died.

However, he said the mean age was 69, and the median age was 62.

80% of people who have been admitted to ICU to be treated for Covid-19 have had an underlying illness.

So far, 269 people have been treated in intensive care since this crisis began.

65 people have been discharged from ICU (24%), while 37 people died in ICU (14%).

167 people are still being cared for in ICU, and the median age of all of those people who have been admitted to intensive care so far is 61.

To date, 152 people have died in nursing homes.

Dr Holohan said that 233 deaths have occurred in residential settings, and that 152 of these have been in "nursing home environments"."

Total - 365
Hospital deaths - 264
Median age - 62 (it was 81 a couple of days ago)
Residential death - 233 (152 in nursing homes)

Am I missing something here?
Honestly can't make sense of these numbers.
264 + 233 =/= 365

But would people like that bother looking for a test, unless they were seriously ill, which you'd imagine most of them wouldn't given the age profile?
