Is it? Its no more of an epicentre than Ireland is right now.

Deaths per million:
Ireland - 9
USA - 7

The USA obviously has 66 times the population of Ireland. But relatively speaking the USA is doing better than most European countries.

If you said New York was an epicentre that would be different.

The country as a whole has 25% of the active cases in the world. They havent locked down fast enough, so you can multiple the 120k by at least 2 now, probably 3 or 4. They hit exponential growth last week.

According to a recent RTE report, there has been a 45% reduction in the number of people presenting to A&E compared with the same period last year.

https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/0329/1127114-hse-briefing-covid/

What do we draw from this? That there are people avoiding A&E now when they shouldn't, because of Corona virus fears, or that there were numpties presenting to A&E before when they didn't really, really have to

Less sports accidents
Less traffic accidents
Less work accidents
Less drink related accidents
Less referrals from Gps

And less numpties.

It's mostly due to the former. GPs aren't referring and patients themselves aren't presenting unless they feel it's completely essential. Less activities taking place that night cause injuries too. There has been a bit of a drop in heart attacks and strokes presenting which is somewhat concerning.

There will be some of the latter cohort too. But often there's just nowhere else to send patients who need some sort of treatment.

It is a bit like the traffic effect, whereby a 10% difference in volumes can often be the difference between gridlock and the roads feeling almost empty.

Probably a combination of both. Plus, as 893 points out above, maybe less accidents with less people out and about.

Could tie in with unusual video reports of empty hospitals in NYC; less than expected activity for a pandemic hotspot, seemingly.

That's completely not true. People waiting on trolleys are awaiting a bed in hospital so they have been found to be in need of hospital treatment. Such a negative view to have of people.

A good friend of mine is completely fữcked in the Caribbean on his small yacht. Guy's like 60 and been planning this forever.

He can't dock legally anywhere around him as every country has closed its borders and immigration. Antigua & Barbuda, Guadeloupe, Dominica, St Vincent and the Grenadines.. All denied. He's been forced to pull up on beaches illegally and is having trouble getting food and water. He's European so might have some chance but girlfriend is Vietnamese and can't even fly back to Vietnam as they're not allowing people in.

I won't paste the entire message but it's not good. Lots of hiding from coast guards. Latest message was stealing wifi from a resort he got near and he's scared the coast guard will escort him out into the ocean where he's got nothing.

Can he contact his embassy - seems like a pretty dodgy situation

Even more pedantic..Mean is the average,Mode is not an average , it’s the number of times a specifc number appears and the one that has the most occurrences is the mode., so it’s the most common

They are'nt testing to get people treatment they're testing to isolate them and their contacts. It's actually more important to find asymptomatic people as they are the ones most likely to spread it

By virtue of the fact that they are asymptomatic, they wouldn't be presenting for testing.
For your thesis to work, we would have to test the entire population, and this is just not practical or workable.
Apart from the obvious logistical constraints, the people you test today who come up clear can easily end up being infected tomorrow. So you would have to have continuous rolling testing of the entire populace.
So it becomes easier to understand why the experts in this field have opted to move to more targeted testing.

The latter, Irish people are hypochondriacs. Just look at the positive test rates for this virus from last week.

A few weeks? The current deaths be from people that were infected weeks ago if not longer.

He's Dutch and has been in that area for six months with his Vietnamese girlfriend. He left Antigua & Barbuda when things were still mostly ok and now he can't get in anywhere. Nothing on-board.

In his message, he sounded desperate. Food / water / fuel problems. Maybe if he can get to the Dutch islands, he can get help.

Its a mix of everything, people genuinely ill afraid of going near a hospital at the minute. GPs aint sending people to A&E just encase, patients arent demanding to be referred to A&E just encase.
No ones out and about triping falling breaking arms playing sports, getting hit by cars on bikes, getting hit by cars in cars. No ones getting drunk around town.

Hopefully.
I haven't seen the updated ICU figures or a breakdown of it.
I wish they would release the information about how many have been released from ICU.

I'm not 100% on the number of days or figures but from what I read in some places for serious cases it was taking 4 days from when someones symptoms started to become serious for them to be put into ICU, then for those who died it was 4 days from ventilator to death That may be incorrect so maybe someone else might know better.

I also read that in Italy people were spending on average 15 days in ICU, compared to say 5 or 6 in ICU for issues not related to covid-19.

Sisters neighbours having BBQ/ party. A number of guests visiting. Small estate with communal parking. She's raging. Most of neighbours have been very good, not mixing physically, a mix of families with small kids and older retirees that usually have good rapport. These neighbours having party just moved in before Xmas and are an unknown entity. I think it's very irresponsible.

Ask her to call the cops and hopefully they'll bring a few batons with them. That sorta carry on is going to lead to more illness/deaths and more lockdown time. Health and other frontline workers putting everything on the line and others out partying. Unreal and unacceptable.

If he is desperate he needs to contact his embassy - **** situation though
