Just remember the clocks go back Sunday so we get an extra hour indoors.

An hour less surely?

So many inconsistencies in the country by country stats.

Ireland (27) has more critical cases than UK(20).
UK had 87 deaths today, Ireland had 1.

Are UK cases dead before they even get to hospital?

Almost, yes. I posted a Tweet a few days ago of an English lady who had all the symptoms and was having trouble breathing but was denied intensive care because they said her life wasn’t in danger yet.

A crew arrived back off the ferry from Cheltenham on the saturday. Young lads about 20 of them on a bus. They were refused into 3 or 4 pubs before they fucked off home

…en enough people have become resistant to it because they have already been infected. The government abandoned its unofficial herd immunity strategy — allowing controlled spread of infection — after its scientific advisers said this would swamp the National Health Service with critically ill patients.

This is clearly complete shit, even BarneyCurley can see it.

Tennis Ireland advised all clubs to close today. My own club closed up on saturday and i believe Glasnevin closed up today.

I’d assume @Tim_Riggins is only interested in.lawn tennis clubs

I don’t think the general public will ever forget the Cheltenham brigade of 2020.

It’s deeply irresponsible even publishing it.

Are you saying the experts in Oxford are inferior somehow to the experts in London?

Start from the first infection in mid January, and do the math at R0 of 2.25 with absolutely no containment efforts in February, and see what you come up with yourself.

Data scientists and modellers are rushing now to be the ones that crack it. The problem with incomplete datasets is you get incomplete results and they are all going to put their own slant on any findings.

The truth about this won’t be know for years

This is surely a good thing

The problem with the “study” is that is that completely it disregards the reality of what we’re seeing all across the world. Apart from that, it’s fine.

[anon78624367]

They haven’t got full data sets or even the full number of variables.

[anon78624367]

Anything that extrapolates out a random number for cases other than confirmed is a pure guess.

The best cases for study are the cruise ships. Confined space, controlled population (small) but could be indicative

I genuinely don’t get how only 20% of people on a cruise ship can test positive.

[Tank]

If half the population already have it why are people only dying from it now? Why are more and more people still getting sick in Italy and Spain every day? Why are the majority of tests negative? Why were the first people to get sick people who arrived back from skiing in Italy?

They’re right that Imperial College have been put on a pedestal and have made a balls of it.

I’ll read the paper later and report back to the forum.
