We are now just buying time for them to obtain reagents and get their shit together. I don't wanna jinx it but it looks like we got locked down at the right time and at least took the top off the curve, I'm more worried now about societal breakdown and that of the economy. Ireland, btw, If anyone with a more dense brain has some onsight on our affairs? |
I have no idea of the economy in Ireland but for progression of Covid19, Ireland is about at the level of Austria, avg 25 deaths a day, so doing very well for Europe. Of course it all changes if it turns out many deaths haven't been identified.
Austria is at 13.6K detected cases, Ireland only at 8K despite a sudden spike of 1500 cases yesterday while before Ireland was reporting around 360 cases a day. Austria is down to reporting down to 300 cases a day now. Ireland has a lot of testing to catch up on.
It does look like Ireland will peak a bit higher than Austria, looks like Ireland is up to a week behind Austria's progression so indeed wise to extend the lock down.
As for the economy, same shitty boat everyone else is in :/
