Not as easy to find out the number of cases/deaths down South.  Any links?

Heard it on the News. 2,121 cases.
Around 400 hospitalised  with 59 in ICU.

The best site. https://www.gov.ie/en/news/7e0924-latest-updates-on-covid-19-coronavirus/#march-27

As of Wednesday 59 people in ICU so must be over 100 now and I think only 250 ICU beds in the ROI?

Surely having a company making ventilators in Galway it should be difficult to purchase these and increase the numbers

Private hospitals have opened up to everyone now so there are more ICU beds available because of it, not sure how many extra though.
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

Around 100 extra I think?

If the (NI) executive has anything about them, they will announce the same. They will be remembered for their decisions in the next 48hrs.

I think it is an unbelievably sensible call from the Irish gov to do this on a Friday evening. There is now no prospect of groups gathering outside that we seen last weekend.

Work is a massive difference.

In ROI all travelling to work, unless it is essential services is banned.

In NI you can travel to your work (doing any job) if you can't do your job from home.
Those are two very different scenarios.

It seems to be a big point of contention between Arlene and Michelle as the latter has said all week that she wants a total lockdown on all bar essential work.
