Counter intuitively even though Ireland’s daily cases are growing, the public health social measures taken seem to be slowing down the rate of growth of daily cases.

Not really - imagine you are that person in the Western world, and you hear your mate has died of coronavirus. What makes you assume they aren't one of the 3295 deaths they admit to having had?
Too be fair Boris needs to put it in writing because that scientist who comes on in those adverts on the telly every 5 minutes isn't putting it across enough telling us how important it is for us to stay ay home.
You're just out to spoil my fun!
Genuinely don't understand how CHINA came away from this relatively unscathed. They have less cases than Italy has deaths, no?
The President has handled this pandemic terribly and I believe it will cost him the election in November. I just hope Bernie can perform a miracle and somehow take the Democrat's seat.
They haven't. You cannot trust their numbers. The actual number of deaths will be many times higher than they reported.
IN THESE DARK TIMES JJ IGNORE FUNCTION IS FINE.Sorry for caps xx I miss so many posts on here,which is fine for me and my sanity.

PETER HITCHENS: This Great Panic is foolish, yet our freedom is broken
PETER HITCHENS: As I watched the Prime Minister order mass house arrest on Monday night, I felt revulsion, anger and grief - as anyone brought up when this was a free and well-governed...
See Peter Hitchinens is again peddling the notion it's just the flu. If he so utterly convinced it is. Why doesn't he voluntarily infect himself and then we can check on his progress.
For the good of our democracies and republics being brought to their respective knees apparently, we need this straw against the prevailing wind. This so called voice of reason should use the cash he has earned from writing nonsense for over twenty years and take a trip back to Russia or China.
Catch the virus and report back and maybe, finally start to justify his wage.
And your evidence is from?
The trouble with this stuff is that Trump has been peddling this line to support the idea things are not as bad in the USA, I don't know what is going on in China but you can be damn sure someone over there in the know would have cast doubt on this as it is more open than it used to be and there are westerners there now.
They were sending doctors to Italy 2 weeks ago from China so that tells you something.
This is going to end up with 3 outcomes, those countries that came down fast and hard, mainly asia, those who reacted a little later (us) and those who missed the boat (either willfully, USA, or through the nature of their society and infrastructure, most still to come)
When the outcomes are known then we will see which was the best approach. I'd say it was probably safer in Wuhan this week than London

Idiot, the outcome will lie between 20,000 and 500,000 lives depending on how we deal with this, plonkers like this encourage people to behave in manner in which we move towards the higher figure
8,000 people a year die from Flu, yes, that is a lot. We've had a 1,000 in a week and we have barely got going as well as having lockdown for short while and awareness for longer. Look at the emergency freezer lorries arriving in NY and ask Mr Hitchens what that's all about. Daily Mail, my Lord
The evidence is that China is a country that cannot be trusted, nothing to do with Trump.
From human rights abuse to flagrant abuse of copyrighted material, and most things in between, China will say one thing and do the complete opposite even in the face of international law.
A country that big, that filthy, with so many people and where the disease originated from... of course their numbers are going to be much, much higher than they have reported.
Not sure why people are even bothering to share that rubbish from Hitchens.
He preaches to his choir and there is no need to further spread his tosh.
