    US figures mysteriously declined at the exact same time trump took reporting duties off the CDC. hospitals all report directly to trump people now.

    I wasn’t talking about India.

    You literally mentioned worldwide, India has a massive population and hasn't peaked yet.

    According to the dashboard ICU dropped by 2 today and there were no discharges. I'm hoping I'm wrong.

    It started to decline before the storm hit.

    Just to be clear I'm not saying it's not on the decline but with the disruption I'd be wary of making any big calls just yet.

    I've seen this posted a few times. It's not quite accurate. HSS only took over the collecting of data regarding hospitalizations. Data regarding cases and deaths is collected from several independent sources.

    Whatever the reason for the downturn in cases it's not that.

    a move to ward from ICU = a discharge

    We'll find out in the 10pm HSE report.
    I did find it weird before where an ICU discharges were released home and not to a ward. Guess it all depends on capacity and the patient. There's alot more to it than just figures.

    Same happened in India few weeks back when Government took over from ICMR. Not hard to guess why these steps are taken.

    And then technically the hospital figure would stay the same in that hospital (i.e. not an extra admission) and the ICU would reduce by 1.
    I'm still wary with the hospital numbers when they are this low.

    Some people on here (and not only here) seem disappointed the numbers are going down. Merchants of fcuking doom. I'm nearly sure i saw someone say earlier that they predicted 300+ cases for today

    Yea a bit of an anti climax for them. The lockdown was far too rash in LOK- absolutely ridiculous and if we keep losing our heads every time we see new cases we are in for a rough ride

    Weekly testing in the meat plants and direct provision centres is a good move, should have been in play months ago. The schools opening back up presents as much problems inside the schools as outside with the logistics of getting teachers and pupils to and from school.

    Who was disappointed to see numbers down today?
    Nobody
    That 300+ prediction was from a poster acting the maggot

    Wrong, i had someone tell me that he'd question the validity of the last few days numbers, i pop in and out of the many threads on here with the end is nigh coming.

    Expect to be locked down for many years is a post i responded to a while ago

    Good one. I really do hope the trend is turning.
    Of course that remains to be seen. Until then I’ll reserve judgement.
    A moving average is commonly used with time series data to smooth out short-term fluctuations and highlight longer-term trends or cycles.

    It wouldn't instill much confidence for sure. Who would like to gamble with their kids lifes and the lifes of their families? I know many people like to believe it's a mild dose but no one knows what way its going to hit you until it gets to your door.
