    The chap playing goalie football is no better than kids up and down the country. He mightn't even be playing at 18.

    Such a shallow country today. It takes very little to be an 'internet sensation'.

    RIP to the eight people

    295 is not bad at all, we're doing quite well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,747 ✭✭✭This is it


    Hard to know what's happening without knowing the testing figures.

    RIP :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,580 ✭✭✭bennyl10


    10% increase(I think)

    The graph is looking promising.

    A week Of no huge increases. Promising on a cases front

    Calm down. The 15,000 projection wasn't even remotely accurate before social distancing could take effect. It was inaccurate from the start.

    Youre acting like we ended up with no cases, we will likely have well over 3000 by the last day of march, likely a few thousand other cases unaccounted for. That is with all schools and colleges closed, people washing hands, no travel, no tourists, no public gatherings , and most people working from home, and you think its far fetched it would have been five times higher without those measures

    Think you just want to criticise the government for no reason tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,302 ✭✭✭Azatadine


    Do they sometimes mix up median and mean?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,305 ✭✭✭✭branie2


    May the 8 people who died rest in peace


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,981 ✭✭✭Naggdefy


    11% increase.

    RIP 8 deaths.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,174 ✭✭✭1huge1


    8.86% increase on yesterday.

    11.3%

    That median age of 86 is higher than the last two days.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,089 ✭✭✭Lavinia


    so median age of people who died is 86?

    if overall was 80 that means still overall is above 80

    I’ve never heard them use the mean.

    Seems to be fairly consistent, I'm just wondering is that because of testing capacity

    RIP to the people who lost their lives today. However the downward trajectory continues, 10.1% new cases today as opposed to 14% yesterday and 18% the day before. The lockdown may be beginning to work, although early days yet unfortunately.

    There are 31 days in March.

    Now I know that gloating over such a morbid subject is unbecoming, but I did predict single digit casualties.

    I predicted single digit casualties for Ireland today based on my shoddy modelling and hopes.
    It's possible that by tomorrow deaths in Ireland will go back to single digits.

    So put your complex graphs and your epidemiology studies away and just follow my posts.

    Back to the drawing board with you.

    I want to be really happy about how this is going but I just feel something doesn't add up. How are we doing so well?

    While on the face of it that figure is promising, it's out of how many test? How many are in isolation and not being tested or having contact tracing done?

    I'm cautiously optimistic about how we are managing this but there are still a lot of variables at play.

    Hi Roger 007

    It's not sign language, its irish sign language. All native ones are different just like spoken languages. You dont read irish sign language, you see it. Deaf people use it, not speak it as its visual. It's a full language just like spoken ones are and is recognised now as an official native language of Ireland.

    R.I.P to the 8 people

    I am happy that we haven't witnessed a surge yet. Let's all hope that continues

    I'm not criticising the government. I'm critiquing HSE projections.

    We have more than enough cases and deaths. Stop virtue signalling and twisting my words for point scoring.

    I prefer accurate projections. 15,000 was wrong as not enough tests, no where in the world was exponentially increasing by 30%.

    2nd highest levels of testing in Europe (despite the issues).

    Early and effective mitigation and containment measures.

    We live on an island, low population density, high testing numbers and the government made fantastic decisions. It makes complete sense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,476 ✭✭✭neonsofa


    Seems extremely high.

    Think it's due to the outbreaks in nursing homes.

    What are our latest testing numbers. Have been trying to find them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,236 ✭✭✭Coyote


    Number updated to match today's report

    I have added a Recovered column, this number is 80% of the infected 14+ days beforehand, this number does not included anyone needing hospital/ICU

    No Change in number
    507672.PNG

    Slow Change
    507673.PNG

    Big Drop in numbers
    507674.PNG

    again with all of this I'm just trying to show people the 14 day delay in an change in how we deal with this
    if you wait till we are overloaded it's too late
    everyone has to make up there own mind but at least look at the maths
    if anyone has questions or thinks it could be changed with better data let me know


    interesting visualization of covid19
    http://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/

    you need to decide what you do today to affect 3 weeks from now
