103 active cases serious or critical (ICU)

It's clear as day that the numbers are not cumulative and why people persist with the fallacy, that they are, is mind boggling. It seems some just can't comprehend simple English.

There has been a suspected case of Coronavirus located in Blackrock, Co.Dublin. Emergency services had attended a house located along the Blackrock by-pass in Temple Road just after 4pm this afternoon. <SNIP>

Now what I am posting is obviously unverified information. If anyone living near the house wants to say that this information is not true. That is fine with me as long as we are informed about it. When this crisis has unfolded only weeks ago; I didn't want to take the risk of walking outside that house because I didn't want to get the virus spread onto me & onto other people as I went home. I took the instant precaution of turning around straight away & walked back onto another road to make my journey home instead which was the right thing to do under the circumstances. Just a word of advice to you all. If you do see any emergency service personnel outside someone's property on your travels. Just be very careful in avoiding the virus being spread onto you whenever you do see them. Follow the official medical advice from our government & the HSE & self isolate at home immediately if you ever get symptoms.

Thanks.

Or just take the advice given and only leave the house for necessary trips. It doesn't make a difference to me if the neighbour down the road has it, I'll still take the same precautions whether I'm aware of that information or not.

Exactly, treating everyone as if they are infected is the best course of action.

Italy are taking a new approach in the South to stop healthcare workers from getting infected with the disease. - Apparently they have found a way to eliminate any of their staff getting the disease.

Report below - it's fascinating to watch.

Think he said the end of next week, and that's important because he also pointed out that in the case of Spain the curve started flattening two weeks after their lockdown, so the UK could see a similar flattening early week, the reality is that the UK will reach 10,000 deaths at some point.

Seriously what is it with Paddy Cosgrove, I don't follow that guy but I see people retweeting stuff or I see people complaining. I think some people are being a little economical with the truth, no way are so people so many following him with baited breath and then dropping everything they are doing when he tweets. Healthcare workers will know among themselves who is sick, who is not and who has passed away they don't need to have their twitter alerts go on red alert when Paddy tweets.

I have to agree. There seems to be a certain deference as opposed to asking probing questions. George lee seems to be the only one who has actually questioned further on any answer.

Gardai shocked as middle-aged woman with coronavirus found travelling 'to post letter'

Gardai were left shocked after discovering a coronavirus-positive woman posting a letter.

The worrying incident happened recently in the south of the country.

A spokesman said: “Gardai in the south of the county encountered a car occupied by a middle-aged couple.

“The female passenger present informed us that she had been recently diagnosed as Covid-19 positive.

“Despite this diagnosis, they were travelling to post a letter.

“They were immediately directed to return to their residence to self-isolate in accordance HSE and Government guidelines.”

The highest rise was 66,000 last Friday. Today will beat that but you're not going to get 150,000 cases tmrw. Simple maths.

Not sure of the relevance, however it was an horrendous body count, plus the vast majority of those deaths were from 1941/42 onwards, so the average during those years would have been utterly horrendous.

I have a housemate who refuses to apply social distancing. She doesn't work. She spends every day out visiting her friends houses and going on trips to Wicklow from Dublin for walks. I explained everything to her and the consequences of her actions for the population. It's driving me nuts. I'm doing everything I can to minimize contact and am holed up in my room after work everyday and all weekend. May as well concede I'm going to get infected soon and be out of work for a few weeks at least.

They have to prioritize their work presumably.
What you could do is Google the results every night at 9pm and probably get it consistent that way?

Said person left house following correct guidelines, to get essentials.

Numerous others were walking in groups with dogs, group of 3 in lycra jogging, couple of aul fellas just chatting zero social distancing. All appeared to be going against what we've been asked to do.

Im pointing out an observation of the restrictions not being heeded by some
