    There's always one. Have a thimble of empathy for the departed.

    Surely these figures have to drop this week. They can't be increasing indefinitely.

    If you don't test you won't find. We are doing a lot more testing.

    If we increase our testing and we expand our case definition we will find more cases.

    Looks like new cases may have peaked in Ireland already (at some point in the last few days)

    As per example of Mary Lou, she was waiting 16 days for a result! So are today's figures from ppl with live virus 16 days ago?

    Testing numbers today put us ahead of Germany and Italy in tests per 1 million (18226).

    he has a weird OCD ritual every press conference, checks all his pockets, puts on and off his glasses, drinks some water, checks sheets of paper, all while darting his head around as if watching out for approaching enemies. bizarre.

    Who wouldn't! Having to deliver the same bad news and answer basically the same questions day after day must create a certain "distancing" effect.

    Is there a reason you're including the German test results in new cases?

    Seems like our new cases have stagnated. 548 today and 527 yesterday.

    New cases in theory should start to drop from the end of the week, deaths sadly will continue to rise for a long time yet.

    That’s a bizarre observation to make. I’d imagine the man may be under a small bit of pressure so what if he takes his glasses off.

    548 cases is the equivalent of Italy recording 7,000 cases in a day per head of population. They maxed at 6,200.

    Highest number of new cases and deaths today.

    RIP to all.

    Probably more to do with being nervous in front of cameras

    More deaths yesterday than Croatia have had deaths full stop. Croatia is 15km away from Italy.

    The increase would be exponential without the restrictions.

    90,646 tests done. Christ that's a massive increase.

    I assume now the back log is gone

    How come Mary Lou (SF) had to wait so long for her result while Simon Coveney, Ryan Turbidy and Claire Byrne had fast results?
