How long before we become completed decentized to the numbers dead. For me its just a number I wait to check every day. Crazy the way it ****s with your head.

I think it's always important to remember, they are not just numbers. But people's mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters. Somewhere tonight on this small island many families are grieving.

Not trying to, but people need to see the reality behind the figures.

To be fair Ireland are better then most - but thats not say they are catching all deaths in nursing homes .

New Jersey reports 362 new deaths, its highest so far. US looks like seeing it's 2nd 2,000 + daily fatality number.

I wonder if the majority of those deaths are basically just New York deaths, Jersey city and Newark is basically part of NYC metropolitan area

As does the notion that it's feasible to have a lockdown until a vaccine is found.

To be fair, Harris has indicated that it'll be a gradual rollback and for nobody to expect a complete rollback. He's preparing people.

I fully agree but many on here don't seemed to have picked up on it .

Spain and Italy were losing 8 to 9 hundred daily at their peak. UK Posting similar numbers now
If we manage to keep it to under 50 per day considering its rampant in our nursing homes it will be miraculous.

Maybe we should all go off to a music festival away from this thread.

France doesnt seem to have reached the decline Spain and Italy have at all. 6.5k new cases and 762 deaths today in France

stephenjmcd · 14-04-2020 05:48PM

ICU and hospitalisation % both down again. New cases aren't exploding either.

Look at the positives and the curve is being flattened.

RIP to all who have passed.

No, it's treated very differently.

Louisiana moves to triple figures now as well, 129 deaths.

owlbethere · 14-04-2020 05:48PM

Are we now approaching Italys situation?

Someone here on these forums said, if we were to apply Italys numbers to us to take in heads per population or something or another we would be having about 60 deaths a day.

I'm not happy about having 500+ cases a day. Surely this is Italys type of case numbers if you were to do the maths.

I'm not able to watch the briefing. What are the details about the new cases please?

Are they related to
Clusters?
Travel?
Community transmission?

Unfortunately you won’t find many positive links like that posted on this thread. You’ll find they won’t get many likes either.

What you mean nursing homes you involved with?

I do non-essential work with various nursing homes, so obviously none of that work is taking place at the moment. I have good friends that live in and work in nursing homes so I am extremely worried about them all.

castletownman · 14-04-2020 05:52PM

Imagine the daily deaths if we multiplied it by the factor of population difference between ourselves and China!

This altering of our figures to paint it in a worse light than the reality is some sort of voyeurism.

wakka12 · 14-04-2020 05:52PM

Australia and New zealand really seem to be doing well, the number of new cases the last few days in both countries is down to a trickle

How about you tell me? Do you know anything completely factually about any countries death inclusions? I doubt it, because I would say every country is doing a bit of creative accounting. And no one knows the exact truth. So we can only go on the figures that are admitted. And on that basis our figures are not great. In my opinion. 50% over and above normal daily death rate here compared to any other year. And highly comparable to countries like Italy, France, UK, which have very unpleasant numbers still.

death rate in England up 60% compared to the last 5 years

They have a system to deal with that anyway, although it seems they tend to be going to Dublin.

Not so, hospitals in the midlands are receiving patients from Dublin

Excluding microstates Ireland now has 7th highest level of testing per capita in the world

Plus, most of those countries are further along than us.

We've got another two weeks or so of growth in our daily death rate.

Seasonal differences hopefully. I know Iran was riddled but I'm not sure what happened here.

They didn't mess with this virus and they moved very quickly taking action.

It's impossible to say either way. It could be that the requirements were wrong and the developer/QA team did what was asked of them. It also could be that the requirements were correct and this was a mistake by the dev/QA team. We don't have enough information to say either way.

Sounded like a specification issue, as described in the briefing this evening. Developers do not have a medical background (generally), so their customer's (HSE) specs ......were not up to spec.

Maybe because large parts of Iran including Tehran are very cold from January to March??

New Zealand in particular is so geographically isolated it can't really be used as a good comparison for most other countries.

Australia are moving in to their winter so it will be interesting to see if they can maintain control when trying to open up.

The lesson from Singapore is how quickly things can revert from under control.

hotmail.com · 14-04-2020 05:59PM

The government acted too slow on nursing homes. Staff numbers be dramatically down and this is being kept quiet.

Is HIQA doing any inspections at all now?

At the moment, you mean?
(I dunno, apparently comparing numbers of cases in different countries fcuks with the space-time continuum or something. Unless of course someone wants to argue in favour of how great x y or z are doing with their case/ death numbers per million, in which case let's all get out there and start gathering shekels pronto. Shrugs. )
