In terms of excess deaths I think that’s true of most countries, or at least the ones where you can sort of trust their numbers.
we’re (I) am ahead of the curve again
Leo said just now in Naas that a process needs to be established where a group review NPHET advice and assess it’s practicality instead of these recommendations been dicatated to the general population by a “Tony” type character

We can’t tell absolutely. He’s added in 450 deaths there to his numbers for late registrations (interesting where he got that from). There’ll be pluses and minuses due to the lockdown in itself that we just can’t measure right now (things like car crashes down, perhaps heart attacks up). 2019 does appear to be a low year as well meaning there were lots of vulnerable people out there.
1 or 2 of them have a cough id say
nothing to see there - ensure they stay away from nursing homes for a bit and no issue
Donegal is riddled
A dry cough is one of the symptoms alright.
If you encountered a fella with a dry cough nowadays, you’d be as well shooting him in the face
One shot.
Bang.

Burn the body
I’d say it’ll be 340ish today.
Lot of tests from last week not accounted for in the daily figures yet.
A fella heading up to Donegal right now after spending a day traipsing across Dublin would be like throwing a grenade into a firework factory.
That was announced last week and will be formalised as part of this road map to be announced tomorrow. A new department/quango/group led by senior civil servants will liaise directly with NPHET, interrogate their advice and then issue recommendations to government themselves. NPHET will still potter away.
Another layer of bureaucracy should improve the muddled communication and lack of accountability
They’ll need a huge number of cases this evening to put the shits up old people and the Facebook crew in order to get buy in for the road map. I’m going with 372.

They’ll have to be careful they don’t end up locking down Dublin and affecting their lives though so they’ll have to spread them around
