Many especially from the nursing homes are not actually confirmed til some time later I would guess ergo the daily release figures are not anywhere near real time. But with the ramped up testing we should know deaths from the past few days

Nursing home deaths are normally reported by the local GP.
That would definitely cause a delay on reporting of the death, also the time of the death would also need to be taken into account

Don't see what my accounts age has to do with anything. Sorry my life doesn't revolve over winning arguments on the internet. I hope you turn things around once we can go back outside. You might become a happier person.

I think you’re missing the point on the vaccine’s thing. They can make as many million vaccine’s as they like. They simply won’t be allowed to use them until they are tested and proved to be safe. That’s highly unlikely to happen before September. I’m sure they have plenty made already. Would you take one?

I got a call from the nursing home that my mother is in to tell me that if anything happens her, she won't be shifted to hospital.

She has Alzheimer's.
Was talking to her on the phone a little earlier and she thought someone was after leaving her on a back road between two villages near my area and could I come and take her home

That is terrible ,I hope she will stay safe . What is there reason for not transfering someone to hospital ? Can they provide the same care in the nursing home ??

And 10 million gallons of porter.

It pains me to say it but China completely ****ed up the handling of the virus and the WHO did very little to take them to task. Questions should be asked of this and many other things once the smoke clears.

Its a political game. WHO goes in heavy on china they get fcuked out on their ear and are completely useless from that point on. No information at all. Better to have half a story than none at all.

Mike Pence, who has faith not science, reassuring the world from the podium.

Can't wait until things go back to normal, so we can boo the HSE every night at 8pm

Testing is at a stage now where you are better to assume every person on the planet has the disease until a vaccine is available.

And look where that's left the rest of the world

And whose fault was that, only china. If a country like that decide not to play ball you're sh1t out of luck. The WHO isn't perfect but it is needed. Just look at the job they did with ebola. If that took hold we were looking at a disease straight from a horror movie.
