Covid19 Part XV - 15,251 in ROI (610 deaths) 2,645 in NI (194 deaths) (19/04) Read OP

I wonder if there is a possibility that todays higher death total could be caused by some under reporting over the weekend.The figure of 14 on Sunday seemed very low and maybe there is some element of time lag in the daily figures since.

You have more of a chance getting killed by a car on your jog than contracting this strain of flu and dying from it.

Thought they had 40-50 across the country

Im not sure,it seems like a healthy amount of people being tested daily so was wondering where that was being carried out.

Sorry, I didn't realise what I was dealing with.

Catch yourself on.

Jesus, I hope its not true.

I read something yesterday saying, some people show a rash or hives as symptoms and when I read it, I thought this is looking more and more like a hiv seroconversion.

If it is true, it will probably make a vaccine very hard. A hiv vaccine was being worked on for 40 years and there's no vaccine for hiv.

To think so many governments turned a blind eye to this in the early days and welcomed it on with a herd immunity approach.

Yet again, these stats are worthless until all record deaths by the same methods.

Anywhere I can watch the daily briefings back ?

IAMAMORON · 14-04-2020 06:26PM

If we have tested 90,000 persons so far, how come only 11,479 have tested positive? What was wrong with the other 78,521 people?

Why is 1 in every 8 people tested turning up negative?

Finally what is the benefit of testing if 1 in 8 persons are not infected and thus are potentially capable of being infected in the future?

Still worthless in so far as we are doing substantially more testing than most countries. Testing finds more cases.

For all their efforts they are getting snapshots from time past.I suppose its all they can do to look like they are on top of this.
Anyone know the situation in the matter hospital?

A lot would have had regular coughs and colds, chest infections and regular flu and mistaken it for Covid-19.

RIP to the 41 dead. Heart breaking. Thoughts with their familes.

Prayers with the frontliners tonight.

We can beat this.

Number updated to match today's report, I have included the total numbers reported today
I have added the number died in the chart in yellow
recent cases growth
12-4-2020 4.8%
13-4-2020 5.46%
14-4-2020 5.15%

No Change in number

Slow Change

Big Drop in numbers

if we only grow at the rate of 7.8% this day next month we would have 4,000 deaths
if you wait till we are overloaded it's too late

I think this site is one of the best sites as it allows you to change and check all the visualization of covid19
http://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/

I'm very worried about Belgium it's growth in deaths is scary as you can see by the second chart

Deaths by country

Deaths by Country normalized by country population

Very sad to hear of another 41 deaths today.

Listening to the CMO I thought he overstepped the mark when asked about sporting events. He was very unequivocal that nine would be taking place until a vaccine was readily available. Now that may well be his opinion but it's up to the government to make these decisions, not the CMO.

Horrific to think. Very strange. Might go some way in explaining the high viral load affect. If viral load great enough to overcome tcells then downward trajectory. The reactivation stuff in Korea might be so far fetched either. That’s one nasty spike protein.

“The gene behind the fusion function in Sars-CoV-2 was not found in other coronaviruses in human or animals.”

WHO said today that sporting events and concerts were unlikely for 18 months.

Yes, you are very correct Agency staff tested at a main county hospital, still went to work in another county's CNU the next day. Text message while into their fourth hour of work in the CNU revealed they were positive for Covid 19. Four patients subsequently tested positive following that.

If sporting events are allowed later in the year they will be behind closed doors as Germany is now considering. That kinda goes without saying.

Audiences wont be allowed any where in Europe any time soon.

The government have said that they are making decisions based on the CMO recommendations so you're getting it from the horses mouth.

They follow the WHO and they were pretty vocal this morning in saying a social life will have to resume without a vaccine so expect that to change.
