The Wuhan Clan - Tony Holohan's Having a House Party

[Dziekanowski]

@Lazarus

Needs to start with a safeguard on domestic rents. Vast majority of staff laid off today and in the days to come dont have a legal leg to stand on and bad as it was before, when your living on 203 a week and your landlord is getting most of that, it is not a healthy situation for a society. It is quite the opposite, it’s toxic. There are too many scumbag landlords out there for this not to be a legal requirement.

Sort that and a reduction, if not outright freeze on electricity and the ‘people’ might stand a chance.

Tech and online giants also could be doing more, the very nature of this pandemic requires social quarantine from our elderly loved ones just when they need it the most. There is an onus on them to provide everything they can, commercial and subscription free, until we come out the other side of this. Their traffic will be through the roof now obviously but anyone seen to be profiteering are criminals in my eyes

Are there any theories on whether this thing will blow itself out or weaken as it spreads?

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Australia scientists leading the way again it seems

[Dziekanowski]

Apparently Germany has tested 135k people in the last two weeks, over 100k in the last week alone, ie. they’ve pretty much followed the South Korea model.

That’s why their death rate is so low.

Vorsprung durch technik.

It does show how massive the real amount of cases in other countries must be though.

[anon78624367]

It doesn’t, the absence of data doesn’t necessarily mean the worst outcome.

It just means we don’t know

[Dziekanowski]

Well the UK has had 55 deaths, Germany has had 20.

Yet the UK is reporting just 1543 cases, while Germany is reporting a much larger 7636 cases.

Bear in mind that neither is yet at the stage where ICUs have been overrun.

Germany is testing on a massive scale while the UK is not.

Which country do you think has more cases in reality?

[Thomas_Brady]

It’s clear the real amount is nearly 10:1 confirmed cases … every time they up testing more positives come in

[anon78624367]

I don’t know. And guessing is counter productive

@Dziekanowski

I know now exactly what it felt like to be in London during the Blitz. It’s exactly the same, except that I get to go on the internet all day instead of cowering in a Tube station while bombs rained down above.

Classic

[anon78624367]

Try not to put upper limits on guesses. Its higher thats granted but nobody knows and they wont know for a while.

Try ease off on numbers would be mu advice

So I had been self isolating for a few days with flu like symptoms,got tested and came back positive for COVID-19 saturday!! A few things I’ve learned 1 it’s very tough self isolating wen you’re feeling really sick,texts and phone calls from friends and family really do help!

That’s ex Dublin Hurler Michael Carton. A real nice fella. Hope he is ok.

I used to have great duels with his father Peadar. Peadar was like a magician on the hurling field. He could do anything with a Hurley.

Up the testing get at risk people in hospital as quick as possible, get those recovered out as quick as possible. Rinse repeat

@KinvarasPassion

…eeded to lecture me for about 10 minutes on how hard he worked all his life, weeding gardens, threshing, training fillies and ploughing with horses… Quickly followed up by telling me that my generation knwos nothing about work and that we are soft. So I let him vent away and get it all out… Chrisht.cc

Did he ask yato get a box of 10 sweet afton

The USA, probably, unfortunately

[Copper_pipe]

Below are the figure for number of cases in the following countries. Italy, Spain, France and the USA. I originally had included Germany and South Korea included but decided to leave them out as there were over 100% daily increases some days which skew the data.

Figures obtained from https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

From the above data we can get the Average and Median. I wont bore you with that so will head straight to the Average and Median Projection cases for Ireland.

I’m projecting 310 confirmed cases in Ireland once the figures are announced this evening with a minimum of 51 new cases.
