Can anyone see restrictions being lifted in 3 weeks time?

Seriously, this will ruin us economically. There has to be some easing. I don't see pubs or nightclubs opening again but surely some other shops and businesses has to open with restrictions in place.

Oh can people stop with this nonsense

The world's economy is fúcked. So it won't matter if Ireland is "up and running" again in two months because by then America will be riddled with this, the Fed will give up trying to prop up the stock market artificially and we'll have 2008 type recession except times 10

Remember the last downturn? Well that's coming again except it's going to be on steroids

I'm very much a glass half full person but we need to be more pragmatic about this. People thinking that things will be back to normal by June need to wake up



2-4 years of economic upheaval is coming globally, not just to Ireland

Jaysus this is such a convoluted mess with the numbers - just give the goddamn total for the day including everything

So they haven't included over 800 results from Germany. They are now saying they can ramp up to 4,500 tests a day. But they said that last week, and the week before that. At least they've dropped (for now) the claim we could be doing 15,000 a day

And no-one seems to have a clue as to how many people are waiting for swabs, and how many swabs are waiting to be tested. Really on the ball we are....

Very true

We have some neck hammering other countries handling of this when in truth we don't know where we are ourselves

They are. I know first hand as my wife has been working there, which makes today's extension all the more bizarre.

Do you want them to not be OK? These numbers aren't incredible or terrible while we are in lockdown. If we don't have an extension then it gets way worse than this very quickly.

We are doing alright. Would prefer to be better but we are not out of the woods yet

Mean, median... Makes it sound like old people are dying. A 32 year old died of this.

Mean is what most of you are referring to as 'average'

For example: 1, 7 and 52

Median is 7
Mean is 20

I'm clearly referencing the last few weeks of late briefings after releasing a time. It's ridiculous that they are late pretty much everday. It's simple punctuality.

Fair play to you to get to this stage of your life without ever growing up.

RIP the 25 people who died

Why does this matter? I wish I had so little to be worrying about.

Quit being so cantankerous with posters and regularly whoring likes in this thread. The way you regularly behave in this thread you would think that you were the only person in Ireland with concerns around the virus.

They've decided to keep on doing what was worked. Completely sensible!

Staying in the same position is not progression. We need to progress, therefore we need to tweak things. There is no point hiding in the cave forever.

this is laughable. fair play to the journo calling out his nonsense.

I hope your wife has grasped the concept, of flattening the curve so those ICU units remain manageable, better than you seem to have.

This extension was always going to the May bank holiday at least and the restrictions are working. Relax them now and your wife will know all about it.

I think it's hunting down that community stuff, especially in nursing homes.

The nursing homes should be considered separately. It's an eminently controllable environment. It should not influence the thinking on a general level.

They are largely old cases and he's said that quite a few times over the last week. They are good for the model.

100% 8098 is the total cases, keep the day on day total in place. Shes correct and Tony just needs to accept it and give the figure as per day! He is using the HSPC as an out

But whats the Average?

spookwoman

Can get the tweet to copy but someone posted

CMO just mentioned the German numbers. If I understood him correctly, it's the 480 plus a daily German total. But it seems silly and confusing. People just want the bottom line not numbers with footnotes.
