    This was reported on Galway bay FM, one of the days

    https://galwaybayfm.ie/galway-bay-fm-news-desk/no-new-cases-of-covid-19-in-galway-in-todays-report/?fbclid=IwAR0uEpKAXXIq1MPDxe2CPVP28fwLfQQ0HHVkFoP6ac3UNRRb3VfB0YdwDOo

    Ah sure, Galway is safe...

    While salthill prom is packed with people today.

    Supposedly monaghan has more cases than galway now going by the official numbers find that crazy.

    Just checked its actually just under galways numbers but still crazy, we have a population of roughly 60k in the whole county galway city would be prob bigger than that alone.

    Kildare could surpass Cork numbers soon enough I'd say, its flying up. Corks had about 10 new cases each day for the last 3 days (could be the effects of the PUC center being closed for so long?)

    Wider reports/studies on blood clotting, strokes etc. 'As [neurologist Thomas Oxley] used a needlelike device to pull out the clot, he saw new clots forming in real-time around it.'

    Sorry lads your little lockdown adventure is coming to an end. People are voting with thier feet and willing to take the minimal risk that's involved in returning to normality.

    What will you all do when this is over and you can't obsess over the stats and call the guards on your neighbours?
    Do you have the foggiest notion of how infantile that sounds when people here have had family and friends seriously ill, or died, due to this virus? People may be voting with their feet, as you put it, but thankfully they are a small minority of selfish, ignorant or deluded people.

    This low oxygen thing is quite worrying... If you have no way of monitoring oxygen, some people are showing no signs of low oxygen... Should we not have isolation centers and monitor everyone mild. Serious/critical will be in hospital anyways.

    Deaths will remain high for a while, look how high Italy's remain, weeks later, but great to see cases down again.

    While deaths are a lagging indicator and the number of cases are partly a measure of the testing now going out to look for them, these numbers are not exactly declining precipitously.

    Indeed it is. About 2% increase.The numbers might go up next week when they alter the definition. That's the real test.

    118 in ICU as of last night

    It's great that we seem to be protecting our hospitals from being overwhelmed - which was ultimately the main goal of these measures.

    However, the point that some people seem to be ignoring (or are oblivious to), is that we don't actually need our hospitals to be completely overwhelmed to end up with a huge death toll from this virus.

    If we lose, let's say 35 people per day for the next 60 days... even without hospital and ICU admissions getting out of control... that's more than 2,000 extra added to our death toll in a few weeks!

    Obviously if our hospitals had been overwhelmed... we'd be up sh!t creek without a doubt... but it's still not really accurate to suggest we're doing great as a country right now. We're one of the worst hit countries of our size in the world, and our death toll is getting into very sobering numbers lately!

    Numbers starting to come down now. I don't expect deaths to decrease in growth tbh with the level of nursing home infections. We need people to really put in an effort for the next week.

    As a matter of curiosity has there been any talk of them going out to do random community testing or a timeframe for that?

    Global deaths have passed 200k. The number of deaths worldwide is still not very significant(though who knows how many are unreported), but the fact that it grew from 100k to 200k in just over two weeks is alarming

    Has anyone a link to the latest deaths by day of occurrence graph?
    The last one showed the peak as 7th April by day of occurrence. I wonder if it is still the highest.
