Good news: UK daily death toll (official government figures not ONS figures) down to 213. Still 213 needless deaths, mind.

Bad news: UK outbreak still "relatively stable" and infecting 54,000 people per week. Even during a lockdown.

Positivity!

The UK fatality rate of tested cases has been 14%. Now testing has been more widespread lately and this will fall, but if it was even one third of this rate you are still going to have 1000+ people dying in 3 weeks time, so there won't be a dramatic decline in deaths ahead.

No idea. I get the email from a family member that sends me the numbers every day and they've been rising for last few days. 6 inpatients with 3 ventilated. 0 new cases confirmed over last 24hrs and 0 released.

Will be interesting to see tonight's HSE operations report, especially after the CMO said a rise in admissions yesterday but in the figures it wasn't reflected.

It's even more amusing that you would make the calling of an enquiry into the deaths of over 60% of Covid victims into a political point scoring exercise.
Personally I could care less what the political persuasion of the person calling for an inquiry is, it's without doubt necessary.
Do you yourself not think an enquiry is warranted?

There's about a hundred different things we need to consider arising out of this, and it's a long way from over.

But as I say, interesting to see SF back in the headlines now that the hard decisions have been made. I'm sure they'll tell us what we should have done.

So I take it you agree an enquiry should happen into the 950 + nursing home deaths.

We are so far behind with this opening up

Let's get on it now. Please can somebody big make this happen and not allow Harris (despite his good intentions) to stifle a chance at a summer resurgence in our economy

I know we've had this conversation before, but your Boards persona of acting as some sort of cross-examination lawyer badgering people about trivial points adds nothing to most threads.

Gregor Samsa · 28-05-2020 5:25pm

Just read the reports in the media, the nursing home that my Dad was in (and died from Covid 19 in at the beginning of the month) tops the list of deaths in residential homes. 35 dead out of 131 residents. Just over a quarter of the people who lived there. Gone in the space of a few weeks.

Aside from my Dad, it saddens me to think about all those people I passed and said hello to on all my visits there that are now gone. That's not to mention all the other victims. I can barely get my head around my Dad dying, let alone the enormity of the whole situation.

Italy reports 593 new cases out of 76,000 tests.

70 deaths reported

Eod100 · 28-05-2020 5:49pm

Japan has ended its state of emergency. Not sure how many have they tested but only had 16,696 cases in population of 126.5m or 32 cases per 1m people.

Ireland has had 24,803 cases for population of 4.9m or 5,061. Know differences in testing, population size, use of masks, etc but that's some difference.

Japan imposed an entry ban on foreign travellers from areas of high risk. We had 1000's of Italian fans roaming the streets in March. That too made a difference.

If the virus only infected those who belittle others concerned about one of the ugliest viruses I've ever heard of, I'd be all for a full reopening immediately. Crowds everywhere. I'd be the first in the line for that. In the event many of these people will end up infected, some may die. They probably didn't think it'd happen to them, it would only happen to the old people...or the fat people...or the people with ashtma or or or...

No, and the first Irish cases were Irish people who had travelled to infected areas. But that doesn't suit the narrative.

76 new residential home cases in the last few days. Another explanation for the increases last few days.

We had some no doubt, but you'd wonder how many traveled in the end after the match was cancelled and with all that was going on over in Italy at that moment. Are Italian rugby fans known for travelling in massive numbers even in the best of times?

It's possible that we had thousands, but I wonder did we actually have as many as that.

I'm really, really sorry for your loss, Gregor. Heartbreaking is right. I know it wouldn't help your Dad or the other people who died of it, but I hope they will thoroughly investigate what happened with the nursing homes and that manslaughter charges are brought against those responsible, like they've done in other countries.

Leading by example. It's why they don't want mandatory masks. Cough anywhere and everywhere.

~ 50% of new cases are related to outbreaks in households

The match was cancelled though so I don't know how many made it over. Maybe it was thousands but not sure who was counting. I think total number who would be going before this would be 5 to 10k so be interesting to know how many of that figure actually did make it over. Just thousands roaming the streets makes them seem like some sort of zombie horde or something.

There were a lot of people going to Ski resorts in Italy too. I'm from a very small town and I couldn't believe how many from here went.

People gave out about people going to the pub for a pint in March...Not what they should have directed their anger at
