Mod warnings – I have condensed these given the size the OP has become, and some of the earlier warnings are now out of date

1. Please interact in a civil manner
2. Do not tell others what to do, or what to post
3. It is against site rules to seek or offer any medical advice. Please do not post here about your symptoms asking what to do. Contact your doctor by telephone and they can advise you as appropriate
4. If you have a problem with a post report it and leave the modding to the mods

In terms of thread content:

• Treat everything you read here with caution. Anything posted is from an anonymous internet poster. You cannot assume anyone has any "specialist" knowledge whatever they claim
• Statistics are important to some (and I personally pay a lot of attention to them), but they are of very little use to anyone who is already caught up in this, or indeed knows of people who are caught up
• Whatever your own views are please recognise others are entitled to different views., Even if at different extremes please do not try and repeatedly ram your views down the throats of those who have differing views
• Cut out any cover-up/conspiracy stuff. If you have a reliable source quote it (not just their words but provide a link to a reliable source) - otherwise your claims carry little if any weight. If you wish to discuss conspiracy theories we have a dedicated forum for that and it’s not this one
• If the likes of the HSE have a verified Twitter account we can assume what they post is accurate. Randomers on here or elsewhere cannot be considered "official" or "reliable" sources
• If people wish to flout the restriction rules that is up to them. They cannot complain at the consequences, be that direct action from the authorities, exposure in Social Media (not here) or being shunned by locals, friends, family etc. If they post about it here, or encourage others to flout the rules, trying to appear macho, or thinking they are above the rules or simply being a smart arse, posting privileges will be removed
• If you don't want to see discussion about Trump perhaps stay clear of this thread between the hours of 22:00 and 01:00. This is a thread for "breaking news" so please do not expect posters to discuss things happening "now" in other threads. It's not discouraged but equally posters expect to discuss such issues in this thread (added 14/04/20)

And now a maths lesson:
“Average” is a non-defined term. “Mean” and “Median” are both mathematically defined terms.
Mean = the sum of a series of numbers divided by the number of items in the series
Hence the Mean of 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 7, 8 = (1+2+3+3+4+7+8)/7 = 4
Median is the midpoint number. In the above example it’s the 4th number in the sequence of 7 numbers – in this case 3
Both numbers are examples of “averages”. Not every average is the “Mean”, not every average is the “Median”, but every “Mean” and every “Median” number is an average

All threadbans carry over, but we will reconsider if anyone wishes to discuss it further via PM

An idea if pharmacy staff are coming down with covid in larger numbers? I was in a chemist shop today and all the staff were milling about without masks on. Its a place where sick people will likely visit and certainly the families of possible covid patients. Interesting to know if they are disproportionately effected.

26,000 new cases in Brazil today. Crazy numbers.

It really has been a long time coming for this case definition to be included. Over 50% of people diagnosed report experiencing it. Hopefully this will mean that more people finally have access to testing.

Imagine if this was the last thread for some reason. Ha! Cool.

Thank god for Karen patrol:

This is their natural habitat, like fish in water.



Funny, I went to Tesco as late as possible to avoid crowds and every normie was out on the street. A gang of teenagers set off some alarms, cops arrived to talk to them.


Last time there was a crisis like this they demolished a Lidl in Tallaght so I guess it's just a matter of time.

Here's hoping that there's loads of good news in this thread.

Just posting this here incase anyone missed out at the end of the last thread and doesn't go back on it.

HSE Operations report released for 28th May and it's all good news.

As of 18:30 there were 45 confirmed covid cases in ICU, down from 48 yesterday and no ICU deaths recorded between 10am yesteday and 10am today. 30 on ventilators down from 32.

As of 8pm there were 193 confirmed cases in acute hospitals down from 233, a drop of 40 in 24hrs.

8 cases diagnosed in hosptial settings in the last 24hrs.

I can't wait until they make it mandatory to wear masks in Tesco. I will do a full Half Life metro cop cosplay

So what about the second wave? If it takes 2 weeks for people to go to ICU and they lifted restrictions on the 17th then there should be a spike next week.

In theory if theres a spike we should see it in the new daily case numbers through next week

I wonder if they will revise the reopening schedule by a month. There are businesses that only make their money in the summer.
Considering the 3rd world healthcare system they might need to stick to it though.

The whole thing about taxing the unemployed is about preventing people from using this COVID payment as UBI. If there's universal income I'm not getting out of bed / work on personal projects like Dreamcast/NES games.

I think we won't see the full impact of this recession until 2022. A lot of boomer businesses will collapse, GE, GM, Boeing. All the corporations do with free money is buy up their own stock and consolidate. There's absolutely no productivity in this economy.

They say California is seeing a spike after reopening:

This is going to be interesting.


BTW the Chinese communist party needs to have sanctions put on it. It's the same thing as Chernobyl with commies covering up. If they wouldn't hide the epidemic so they can buy up masks in every country in the world then this wouldn't be as much of a problem. They disappeared doctors who complained. China needs to go through a reformation like the soviet union.
