"IT glitch"

Script issue.
They didn't have the correct output for "invalid", which came from German electronic files. Invalid wasn't encountered during script testing.
Invalid means that there was an issue with the Irish sample, which would then require a new sample, but by then 14 days would probably have passed.

Restrictions are working , you just have to bear in mind that there is a lag from when restrictions started to when results from them will be seen

I just think the calibre of the average journalist at the moment is very low

The increase would be exponential without the restrictions.

With restrictions in place why are deaths still rising? We are past 14 days since they were introduced

Because it suits Sinn Fein?

Yes they really are sensitive to any hint of criticism. Pathetic.

Someone else should take Zaras seat, embarrasing.

I think they got tested before the rush, her test got caught in the backlog

She's asking ridiculous questions.

6.4% really is still quite large growth like, that means cases doubling nationally in a little over every fortnight

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

They now do a full total which they split into new ones , tested here, and the German ones which are the backlog.

That should be 14 days which was Easter Sunday so we should be seeing results

I suppose he didn’t want to hang those involved in setting up the IT system. A glitch makes it sound like an uncontrollable computer issue. Obviously no effective review by a human when the German results entered the Irish IT system.

Did not or could not understand what an invalid test means.

His graphs show the German tests included in the newly diagnosed Irish cases when they're in fact historical. It's creating a misleading growth figure.

How long have you been on this forum? You still don't seem to know the first thing about the dynamics of a pandemic. The shutdown was designed to stop the worst happening - a flood into ICU and critical care with thousands dying in and outside the that environment. It was never going to act like a guillotine.

The peak will be slow coming the peak will plateau and the slope back down will be months in the unfolding.

People who contract it can be ill for a lot longer that 2 weeks.

Is that the highest death toll in a 24hr period?

branie2 · 14-04-2020 05:06PM

Vast majority of deaths are in the east
