    Median age of today's deaths as 49?? That's a big drop from the usual
    75+ number��.

    49 is the median age of new cases

    That's true, and I think that at this point most people, even some politicians in his own party, are taking his idiotic comments with a grain of salt . . . However, despite Trump being a bumbling idiot, statistically the numbers based on population are better than a lot of European countries . . . the UK numbers have topped 20k with a population that's about 5 times smaller.

    Completely off topic but is the phrase grain or salt of pinch of salt? I’ve said pinch my entire life and really hope I haven’t been wrong the whole time :pac:

    A grain of salt? They should be using a whole ****ing carton of it.

    Yeah and every firm would suddenly be associated with construction in some way

    Construction and affiliated businesses would make up for one of the biggest employment groups.

    My neighbour is a Polish mother of 3 here 10 years, speaks no English. Youngest child is a girl aged 9. Mother brought her boyfriend to live with her around 3 weeks ago. The 9 year old was taken away by her father about 10 days ago. Since then next door has been Europop party central.
    She, he and all their friends have been laid off by the only local factory on the covid payment and they’re more or less on a paid holiday and hanging out at her house in the lovely weather till 1 in the morning or so.
    She has two older boys and they just continue to go in and out with their friends too.
    No one else in our estate did this everyone just followed the rules.
    Until today
    It’s all over today. All the kids are out playing and neighbours are having callers. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.

    NOTES: -
    * Daily increase numbers on these dates represent both new cases and older cases reported from Germany which results in skewed daily % increases and average case reporting % changes, numbers are broken down as:-
    Day|Date|New Irish Cases|German Cases
    42|10/04/20|480|1035
    43|11/04/20|553|286
    44|12/04/20|430|297
    45|13/04/20| 527|465
    46|14/04/20|548|284
    47|15/04/20|657|411

    50|18/04/20|630|148
    51|19/04/20|445|48


    ~ Denotification of deaths:-
    10/04/20 – 1
    16/04/20 – 1
    21/04/20 – 1
    22/04/20 – 10
    23/04/20 – 3
    24/04/20 – 2
    25/04/20 – 3

    ** "Recovered" rates are not reported by the Department of Health in the above link, these figures are taken from the Worldmeters and Johns Hopkins websites which use data supplied by the DoT to the ECDC under the WHO Guidelines for reporting.

    Recovered statistics are only be published as "recovered" following two successful tests of being clear of the virus under the WHO reporting guidelines, as a result it is likely the recovered data is skewed. Updated on 15/04/20 - The WHO reporting criteria has been changed recently to eliminate the 2 test requirement before reporting as recovered, now an outcome report is sent within one month of initial notification or when an outcome is known, the available health outcomes are either “recovered/healthy”, “not recovered", “death", “unknown" or “other", weather this helps create more accurate recovery numbers or skews them further is yet to be seen.

    *** Due to the above issue with reporting of recovered cases the number of active cases is also likely skewed.

    From 24/04/20 probable deaths are included in the official death figures, this is to comply with the WHO definition of COVID-19 deaths issued on the 16th and adopted in Europe by the ECDC yesterday, this is in compliance with what is known as the International Statistical Classification of Diseases known as the ICD-10, as a result a new column has been added into the charts to separate confirmed and suspected COVID-19 deaths – see this post for an explanation on this change.

    I love the sheer brazen confidence of ignorance. I really bloody do.

    The common cold is caused in the majority of cases by a rhinovirus, NOT a coronavirus. Coronaviruses make up a small percentage of cases(along with a couple of other viruses).

    A vaccine for the "common cold" has many problems. You're dealing with over a hundred different viruses for a start, so you'd have to hit each one of them. Then they mutate every cold season, so you'd need to be on top of that as well. And of course the common cold is highly unlikely to result in fatalities. It has a fatality rate of as near to feck all as you can get. Ergo little point is finding a vaccine or "cure".

    Has there ever been a widespread effective vaccine for any coronavirus though?

    We are in unchartered territory here. A covid19 vaccine could be relatively straightforward or it could prove impossible.

    Some experts believe they will have one in 6 months, others are saying 18 months. So splitting the optimists and the pessimists time frame, most likely it will be 12 months from now when its rolled out to the public.

    Pretty sure 6 months is impossible, not because the science or skills arent there but because the effects on the human body need to be studied for a set and specific amount of time before theyre deemed safe and that can only be sped up to a certain extent

    That's true, and I think that at this point most people, even some politicians in his own party, are taking his idiotic comments with a grain of salt . . . However, despite Trump being a bumbling idiot, statistically the numbers based on population are better than a lot of European countries . . . the UK numbers have topped 20k with a population that's about 5 times smaller.

    With a contagious disease the size / population must have a lot to do with it also.

    USA 87 people / sq mile
    UK 710 people / sq mile

    Has any of the large food retailers seen a spike in illnes in their workforce? front line workers and all that?

    This is at least the third time in two days that you've asked this.

    Nothing reported specifically by profession other than health care workers.

    No to be pedantic but the above is not enough currently for a test. You needs symptoms plus be in a high risk group or have come into contact with a confirmed case.

    A whole list of symptoms and you won't get a test unless unless you're a high risk group or come into contact with a confirmed case???

    So how would they do contact tracing and all that with possible cases??

    They need to test and isolate people. There's no lifting restrictions next week unless they ramp up testing. Wish they would stop blaming people for a longer lockdown. We need more testing that's the problem. Maybe people would stay home more if they knew the true rate of infection.

    "The analyses suggest coronavirus patients are mostly experiencing the deadliest type of stroke. Known as large vessel occlusions or LVOs, they can obliterate large parts of the brain responsible for movement, speech and decision-making in one blow because they are in the main blood-supplying arteries."

    What other figures would like to him to post? Made up ones? I'll have a shot.

    7 million cases diagnosed in Limerick today, with 2 million in ICU.
    27 million in Dublin, with 70 in ICU.

    450,000 deaths today.

    Feckin HSE!

    Yes, I am sure that's a big part of it . . . It's a huge country with a lot of open space in the middle between the heavily populated East Coast and California (The distance from NYC to LA is about 500km more than from Dublin to Moscow!)

    A lot of the focus is on NYC and surrounding states, but the numbers aren't too bad in states outside the Northeast (Louisiana one of the outliers and Michigan the other). Even Florida with an elderly population, some big cities, and a crazy Governor isn't doing too bad (for now, at least)

    I've not really seen a reduction in my part of cork city today. The actual center is dead yeah but went for a walk and there was plenty of groups of teenagers around doing nothing. Aunts neighbours were having a garden BBQ with the grandparents, grandchildren, cousins, aunts etc. Theres still a lot of people just not caring, which is annoying for those of us complying but also just selfish IMO.

    My local Dunnes today who have been absolutely fantastic the last few weeks had a noticeable slip in standards. Apart from making us all line up outside, everything else that had been in place in recent weeks had all fallen by the wayside. What is the point of making everyone line up like cattle when as soon as we’re inside, everyone is on top of one another? It’s just pure optics at this point. They actually changed the entrance to the opposite end of the shop for now, meaning once you got in, you entered where the alcohol aisle is and had to traipse across the shop to get to what usually would be the entrance, meaning you’re bumping into everyone doing their shopping and there was just a big surge of people in the middle. A total farce.

    Then three staff members were standing outside chatting having a fag right beside where people were queuing. I saw loads more staff in store standing around chatting and when I got to the till the one serving me was turning around chatting to the lady behind her the whole time. I didn’t see anyone wearing any gloves and they didn’t offer to wipe down your trolly either like recent weeks. I get that I’m sounding like a right moany arse but then they’ve this automated apocalyptic voice recording playing through the speakers while you try and grab your bits, urging people to basically hurry the fcuk up and get in and out as quickly as you can. But that makes no sense when the staff are faffing around and no one in there seems to be taking this seriously anymore.

    I know this is just one anecdote from one shop but from what I’m hearing, a lot of people seem to becoming complacent and not taking this seriously anymore. I don’t think anything is going to be lifted by the 5th. The same fear just isn’t there for a lot of people.

    I read he might be ill. Has it been confirmed? Doesn' t he have a son. Doubt the ordinary people will know anything until it is done and dusted.
