China Coronavirus

Not good. If you presume the 657 cases are people who got it fairly recently, then they got it after the measures started and some of these might be dying in a fortnight. Probably, the German cases are quite old.
But there is still more to be done.

38 more people have died from Covid-19 in the State, bringing the overall death toll to 444.

657  more cases of the coronavirus have also been diagnosed in the Republic. In addition, a further 411 cases of coronavirus were confirmed from the backlog of tests at the laboratory in Germany.

Any break down on the deaths per county or are they sticking to east, west and north west when reporting deaths?

The 6 counties at 140 confirmed deaths but are only counting Hospital deaths. 14,635 confirmed cases on the island of Ireland.

That has the number of cases in Connacht.

So when will lockdown measures start showing an improvement? 7/8 weeks?

The replication rate of the virus  was estimated between 2.5 and 3.5 pre lockdown in the UK. Experts now think it is 0.6. Anything below 1 means the virus is under control
There is a lag for deaths. We should know more by the end of the month.

They think its dropped to that *here*?

I'd love to see the evidence they have guiding them to that conclusion! Not much in the public domain would suggest such.

There's a pretty decent tracker on the RTÉ website:

https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/summary/

Mayo has a pretty high level of cases, roughly the same as Galway with only half the population; roughly 4 times Sligo & Roscommon who both have roughly half our population. Presumably there must be a few nursing home clusters here

Edit: actually from that twitter thread, it looks like sligo / Galway / Roscommon have particularly low infection rates rather than Mayo having particularly high rates

Some interesting stuff here including a county by county breakdown (ROI only)

As mentioned above there's going to be a serious amount of people laid off when things open back up again and probably until the end of the year as businesses struggle for cash flow!!

Would be a minimum of 3 weeks for any cash flow going into a company again after lockdown measures would be lifted. Well that's what I've been told through our work

Cases per county are published every day however unless I missed it I don't see any breakdown on deaths for each county. Today for example it states 29 in the east, 6 in the west and 3 in the south.

Unfortunately I knew one of the people that died from it in today's numbers. Only in his 40's.

No, haven't seen deaths by county.

The news are reporting care home deaths now, I take it that spiked up the registered deaths from hospitals.

25% deaths in Scotland happened in care homes

I'd imagine if you take that figure and add in as a minimum to the rest of the UK you'll be closer to the real figure?

[screenexile]

Just checking the figures there France are taking an awful hammering Macron has plenty of questions to answer!!

What site / sites are you using to check numbers etc? BBC is a disaster to get any clear cut information.
