On the new covid app if I click on Covid tracker and look at the graph for daily confirmed cases
On tjhe left of the graph it gives number
200 . 400 . 600 . 800
And along the bottom of the graph are numbers 29 . 28 . 23 . 19 . 13 . 8

I just cannot figure out what the bottom row represents ? Can any guide me please

They are dates. My screen shows the month too.
Feb 29, Mar 28, Apr 23 etc

Northern Ireland are removing quarantine for low and medium risk countries, the list still to be announced but that really puts the policy here as being completely pointless now.

Fly into Belfast and away you go

Thanks so 8 th of July is the last date ? Are the other dates random dates from each month ? Then the peak of 800 was in April ?

Europe in the Midst of a pandemic .

You'd have to agree with the American scientists, that the virus is airborne , it sure is/

When was that snapshot of europe taken? I was getting a slightly different picture than that throughout the last few months.

Go on flightradar and zoom out.

I'm not interested in economic projections and guesses and expectations.

Ohh Yes, it did...

This is what has happened: Not only have thousands more people died than in neighbouring countries that imposed lockdowns, but Sweden’s economy has fared little better. “They literally gained nothing,” said Jacob F. Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington.

“It’s a self-inflicted wound, and they have no economic gains.”

Sweden’s laissez faire approach does appear to have minimised the economic damage compared with its neighbours in the first three months of the year, according to an assessment by the International Monetary Fund. But that effect has worn off as the force of the pandemic has swept through the global economy, and as Swedish consumers have voluntarily curbed their shopping anyway.

Hopefully some truth to this. This guy is called the positive professor so likely to be some bias

Thanks for sharing. Makes a lot of sense to have a joined up approach between UK and Ireland. We need to nail down a plan and get stuck into it.

If one country doesn't solve it we are all at risk. We need schools to open. The only logical way to get back to normality is to go for zero tolerance approach. As soon as it's gone and we have controls to catch cases means that we can send our kids to school etc without a second wave. We need to be real about the alternative.

Its pointless anyway. How many people are going to stay at home for two full weeks?. Tbh youd be lucky if people stayed at home for 3/4 days in full.

We're supposed to be a Union, the aim should be to work together as a Union and lock the rest of the countries who aren't in the Union out. That's the best we can hope for.

There was a memorandum of understanding agreed between NI and ROI as they said an all Island approach was needed, but this now makes the travel restrictions here redundant if you can fly to Belfast and off you go

Hmmm

I know it's very hard for them to get accurate data with it now because case numbers are so low. But it's on the increase again

They need to be clear and make masks compulsory

At least we're picking up travel cases, this wasn't the case at the beginning. Mehole Martin really needs to get up off his arse now and do something about this travel situation.

Is this seriously only the first time they've said that??

All these idiots jetting off to the sun thinking they're great.

Cases are bound to go up after easing a lockdown as severe as ours but let's just hope we can keep on top of things.

marno21 · 09-07-2020 06:05PM

77% of today’s cases are under 25 also.

Interesting stat

ACitizenErased · 09-07-2020 06:06PM

If you take out the travel cases we have incredibly low levels of disease. Need to do something about that.
