I’ve been surprised by the amount of cases in Monaco. The most densely populated state in the world yet very few cases and no deaths. Would have expected it along with Andorra and San Marino to have higher cases too based on their geographical locations. Am I missing something in the stats?

....Actually, (edit) I was wrong on the stats for San Marino and Andorra. High enough based on population but Monaco?

Not that surprising. Monaco is home to super wealthy who don't have to mix with too many others in a workplace, don't go on public transport, no underground, etc. Also far from epicentres like Paris. Weather might be a factor too. Also good medical care.

CNN often cut him off.

CNN said that the video he showed was little more than a propaganda video and they had no obligation to show it.

caveat emptor

Not sure if posted before. Really interesting.

They might think it’s worth their while.........even if only to keep those lunatic Trump supporters out of Mexico.:eek:

Ah. Just choose a random sample not the total

And btw of the entire amount admitted to ICU 80% had an underlying condition as per Fridays briefing

Stop making up numbers

I'm talking about people who died, who didn't die in ICU, not about people admitted to ICU.

Probably posted before, but the 'Red Dawn' emails. A very difficult job for the experts to get through to Trump.

NY Times report led to Trump's #FireFauci retweet today, but thankfully he's been reined in.

That's exactly what it was.

He has debased the office long before now though. Everyone knows there is no depth to which he can't sink.

He seems to be permanently in campaign mode and trying to appeal to the voter base. The media are just a nuisance (unless he can use them).

My 74 year old mother got tested on the 15th of March with very serious symptoms. She is cocooning and still very ill. She has no result. She may not have had it and is coming out of it or may have had/has a milder strain...it matters little either way.

My wife's niece who is English was tested on Saturday 2pm in London and got her results via text and email at 10pm tonight, to add insult to injury look where her test was confirmed.

The figures here are a nonsense, who knows what is happening. Yet we have scoffed at UK process. We were an absolute shambles of a healthcare system pre crisis and why would this change suddenly? Whats worse is the sudden political spin and ridiculous adulation for Leo Vradkar and Simon Harris. What have they done? What is so wonderful about their achievements. We have absolutely no idea what is happening in the Republic with regard to infection rates.

This is in no way reflective of criticism towards any front line health care worker.

Can we drop the Trump bs. This is about Coronavirus in the ROI ffs.

BorneTobyWilde

America were late to the Covid 19 party, and are acting like they will be first to leave. They must be two months behind Italy?

Mexico has less than half the virus cases of Ireland, if I were them I'd be building the wall on their side of the Rio Grande sharpish.

The virus is a global pandemic outside our borders. How Trump responds has an impact on us. I don't see why this works up people.

The thread is called Coronavirus. The press conference is about Coronavirus. Why we're discussing it is pretty self explanatory

They are obsessed. It's like self flagellation for them.

For me it's just so boring, going on and on and on. And the worst thing is they'll be going on and on for another 4 years.

MAGA!

I've said it in a prior thread - if you don't want to discuss the goings on of Trump real time between the hours of around 10pm and 1 am it's perhaps best to stay out of this thread as Trump talk will inevitably take over. This is a general thread allowing discussion of a whole range of issues, including Trump's latest comments

It's pretty much scoped to Ireland and Northern Ireland, as per the title.

Why not just go off the the other thread to circle jerk in your whining.

As I created the thread title, I'll add some comment. The figures were there from when there was a standalone thread in CA. This is the "goto" thread for all "news" Coronavirus related, not just discussion of the Irish position. Posters do appreciate those figure being included in a thread title, and this is the most appropriate one as it's regularly near/at the top of the page

You need to learn to read. Better you spent time brushing up on that than in here bitching in an otherwise dead thread.

Kermit.de.frog

There are reports from all over the world in this thread.

Which makes more informative and worthwhile in my opinion.

Trump is a pretty big piece of the jigsaw.

Unfortunately, your mother was tested at a time when we had a serious lack of reagent and testing ability. If she was tested more recently she more than likely would have got her test back in a similar time frame to your wife's niece. My dad was tested last week, he's a similar age to your mother, and he received his results back in less than a week. The testing situation has improved in the past week or so.

From 9pm onwards of an evening Irish and UK media tends to go to sleep, Trump press conference keeps the thread ticking over.

jill_valentine

Always the same handful of people who need the obvious relevance of THE major western superpower's virus response explained again. Huh.
