One thing I haven't heard being used yet is plasma with antibodys from recovered patients.

Do you mean in Ireland? Because it's been used a lot in many other countries.

Did we ever get a briefing of how we are treating patients, using the new drug remdesivir, which anti virals etc?

Not one journalist has asked about remdesivir.

Can Zara King stop with the wedding questions!!

You beat me to it! Jesus wept, is she planning to get married herself this summer or has she bought a frock to go to one and wants to know how much time she has before she can squeeze into it?

It's not so much the question but the repetition, is her brain wiped clean after every evening?

Sound quality is quite hard to put up with - why is the UK briefing HD and Dolby and we are in 1960s?

Study not peer reviewed yet so would be cautious of making conclusions.

No but, you underestimate the wrath and impatience of a bride to be.

I see it and hear it every day. Jaw dropping

I would have put Zara King back making coffee in the office after she asked Tony about the news about an antidote that he was due to reveal.

A complete waste of space.

Stupid questions. Asking CMO to speculate if weddings will be allowed come september.

yep. One small mention last week of blood transfusion board trying to set something up at this late stage in Ireland. And nothing since but I may be mistaken.
No direct mention of antibody tests in the plan either.

If only 81 cases are outside care settings, and those 81 include hospitals, then local transmission must be minimal now.

Careful, you might get called crazy for using sense

Kermit.de.frog · 05-05-2020 05:58PM

UK reports 698 new deaths and 4,406 new cases.

They are really struggling.

If people want to know what the biggest threat to Ireland getting out of this is, look no further!

I would be happy with a crap sound system as long as Ireland does not get near the other COVID-19 KPIs in the UK

PM him about it or post in the appropriate forum. Not one of us here give a gicker

Arghus · 05-05-2020 06:00PM

Oh, David Quinn. Wonder what his approach will be this evening.

Why aren't you doing more for care homes? We must protect the elderly.

Or

Why are keeping us all indoors? Sure it only effects the elderly.

ACitizenErased · 05-05-2020 06:00PM

91% of carehomes have been tested. 527 out of 581 nursing homes done.

Does not beat the question / statement from some Scottish journalist to Nicola Sturgeon 'so you have cancelled Christmas then' in relation to extending the lockdown

Uk has overtaken Italy with the highest number of deaths in Europe and still seems to be climbing.

Concerning having that on our doorstep.

This paper has had absolutely no peer reviewing and that has been admitted by the co-aruthors .
They released it a newspaper first yesterday and has not been inforced by any scientific journals.
They seemly released to help people finding a vaccine.
It also goes against every other paper on mutation of covid-19

This would explain alot, particularly some countries being able to manage the spread. Be very interesting if European explosion was as much (or even mostly) down to the strain we got, as opposed to the measures implemented. If this goes back to Asian countries or to Australia and that region, be interesting to see if their lockdown measures will be as effective. This is part of the reason why holding up certain countries as bastions of greatness in dealing with the virus is not ideal, there are always more variables at play that need to be considered.

Depends where you look check this from Saturday - South (ie mainly Cork) private houses infection number is notable. Quite why is worth knowing as it might indicate something important.

My 95 year old grandmother, in a nursing home, is now 20 days since testing positive, now considered recovered. Didn’t see the inside of a hospital, just rode it out in her room
