999

Do not call 999 for a non emergency! call your local station

woohoo!!!

Just on the CMOs point about lack of people in hospitals, well they clearly think they're better off taking their chances at home. And unless they know that the place they're going to does not have covid patients and staff that have no contact at all, with covid patients, then it's hard to criticise them for not turning up. Also for some, they'd prefer to pass away in the comfort of their own home.

Where are you reading that? Also nobody has called it the Inter Cert since the 70s so there goes any credibility you had as an education spokesperson.

I missed that bit, was it announced at the conference?

Gloomy George announced on the news that they shipped thousands of swabs overnight to the lab in Germany so they can clear the backlog

Overall positive news, the important numbers for me now are not the amount of cases but the icu/hospitalization rates

To paraphrase Brian Keenan on his release from captivity in August 1990 when I get out 'I'm going to make love to all the women in Dublin'

Do you recall if they said when this would occur? I may have mis understood but I though that some of today's numbers were including German results.

It was when I flicked back to the news on RTE 1.George Lee spoke about it.I have no idea if some German lab results were included in todays figure though.

Actually the inter cert ran to 1991 then became junior cert. Don't ask me how I know, right?

Will be extended, there isn't a shadow of a doubt.

My relations in America are under instruction to 'shelter in place' and that order has been extended to May 4th. They are in the SF Bay Area.

Does anybody actually watch it listen to the news?

Good to hear that we report deaths when Covid19 is confirmed as present, as opposed to it being the primary cause of death. Strikes me as more transparent, and less susceptible to fudging, in terms of deaths at least.

Is there any reason why they don't announce the amount tested daily?

E.g there could have been 250 people tested yesterday and 210 had it. There could have been 2000 tested today and 400 had it?

The cases numbers are worthless since not everyone can get tested, its inaccurate number that downplays the proper total.

The deaths are likely to be much more accurate.

Just announced on RTE 1 news that De Taoish reckons state exams are still going to happen.

I am glad my teenager is in TY year - the current situation of all of us cooped up together for 24 hrs with two of us trying to work from home, is not a great environment to be trying to study in. Also they have missed several weeks of school teaching already and are under a kind of stress that no other exam candidates have had to endure in the history of the state.

How fair is it to put them through an exam in or around an environment of death, job loss, and home confinement? It will be even more cruel to keep the party line going that the exams are continuing only to call them off at the last minute, as I still suspect will happen.

As I said, I am glad it's not a state exam year for my family.

Because we report it weekly. It's just the way the system is set up to feed information back.

People being tested yesterday mightn't have their results for a week or two. That's how far behind they are so they can't give accurate figures.

What's the point of giving the median age? Why not give the average age?

6 of those people that sadly passed away could be 25 for all we know and another 6 could be 93. Saying the median is 92 makes it seem like only very elderly are dying but actually that may not be the case at all.

the median is better as it lessens the effect of outliers. for example a single death of a 10 year old would skew the average a lot. not so with the median.

The British Health Secretary Matt Hancock said they were looking at this type of test.

He said it takes about 28 days for your body to develop Antibodys.

Althought FDA has authorized first coronavirus antibody test




https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/02/health/fda-coronavirus-antibody-test-authorization/index.html

Does it really take that long to develop anti bodies? they must develop much quicker than 28 days.

Jesus wept.

From the 2015 report:
An experiment that created a hybrid version of a bat coronavirus — one related to the virus that causes SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) — has triggered renewed debate over whether engineering lab variants of viruses with possible pandemic potential is worth the risks.

This warning came in 2015.
The Chinese government have some explaining to do.

He has to say that, even if they are not. Otherwise everyone just stops doing any study for the rest of the year.

Just thinking as I watched the daily media news update on COVD on RTE.

The numbers of new cases are two weeks old!

I'm waiting 11 days on test results
