Of the 41 new deaths that have been announced today, 35 people were reported as having underlying health conditions. The median age of today’s reported deaths is 83. The cases confirmed from the lab in Germany represent the processing of a backlog of Irish samples, some of which date back to mid-March. The HSE has said it is hoped the backlog would be eliminated this week.
Speaking after today’s deaths were sadly announced, Holohan said that the National Public Health Emergency Team has this week been emphasising the importance of testing in community residential settings including nursing homes.
But did they actually die from Covid-19, looks like MSM is watching it's back with word-play as usual.
RIP
Good that we have flatened the curve as per CMOIreland
People on the edge
Sad, but I think Dr Tony doing a good job, steady steady steady...remain calm...
You forgot to mention that they didn't die as a result of Corona virus. There, fixed it for you.
Of course, and by the way it was people with different diseases.
Very sad rip to all
