OK, so maybe I'm going to expose my own stupidity here but here goes...
So, the general consensus from people on news programs in Ireland is that there could be a peak maybe coming in mid April. The initial measures the government took were two weeks ago and we've been told that the virus can take 2 weeks after infection before showing. So, if this social distancing measures have been working (Big if, I know), then how does that still lead to a peak coming in April? Would that solely be down to transmission via hospitals etc?

Is there a reason we are not been informed of the exact hotspots where positive cases and deaths are occurring, just take the east for example, surely some sort of pattern is showing now of cases 
Just because it's tradition does not make it right

No enough number of cases to persevere patient confidentially. 55% of confirmed cases are in dublin though. After that it's cork with 11%

Not sure if you're serious but I'll answer as though you are:

Because patient confidentiality is of utmost importance.

The fact that this is a pandemic is irrelevant to the above point.

No-one knows where the Spanish Flu originated from but it was given that name because Spain had the most deaths.
Story I hear was that it broke out during the war, and all war-faring nations didn't report it so as to no affect morale. Spain being neutral had no such issue, so spoke openly with it, tried to deal with it etc, and by the time the rest of the world started talking about it, they assumed it started in Spain as they were the only ones talking about it.

I’m being deadly serious but will bow to your superior knowledge.

Could you expand?

Regardless of the merits; find it hard to fathom in a city of 2 million that identifying hotspots when cases are ~700 and really a hell of a lot higher; bucks out there would be able to identify those infected and not

One theory is that it originated in Kansas

to say area A, Band C is a hot spot would suggest X, Y, Z isn’t. Man in X will change his behaviour (head to the races). it’s human nature 
2 months ago A was Wuhan, Z was New York.
Assume everywhere is a hotspot.

Just to be clear, I am not talking about people’s names and addresses here, I’m talking about the areas affected most in The Dublin area by it and everywhere else in the country, surely to god there would be a case for doing more on isolation in these areas to contain it it if it is showing a certain pattern, I’m sorry but I am not buying patient confidentiality in this situation

I agree with the point dont break it down. Treat everyone like they are infected or you are infected.

Had the most unintelligent gobsh*te in history yesterday barge into my personal space. In a small butcher, they had set it up that it was one customer in at a time and you tell them what you want rather than you pick it up yourself.  
This thick as f**k bloke barges in and heads straight for the eggs and picks up two packets and starts talking loudly (in the most junkie dublin accent you can think of) "are these eggs in date,, what's the date on those two packets eggs, you cant get eggs anywhere I heard". 
Shopkeeper then tries to explain"
" sorry if you wouldn't mind standing outside we are doing one customer at a time". 
Then the thicko goes "ah sorry i didnt realize I was getting in the way.". 
So I had to remind him "its not that your in my way its we are suppose to be social distancing ourselves" ..... 'yeah sorry pal" 

It was worse in person! Anyway  I worry about this country sometimes with people like that

Regardless his initial point still stands - the US are f*cked. Although this is something that was predicted from close to the outset given they were one of the least prepared countries to deal with this. And that's also part of the reason why the US numbers aren't a reliable indicator of just how grave the situation is there either - they're one of the poorest countries at testing per capita. Whilst most countries actual cases are likely many times what their confirmed cases are, the US are probably many, many multiples of their confirmed cases.
 
Trump is now basically like yer man Comical Ali, the Iraqi Communications Minister during the invasion of Iraq, insisting everything is grand during his daily press conferences and that all this is just a big ploy by the 'lame-stream' media to undermine his re-election campaign whilst the country falls to pieces all around him.
 
Given that, by the time this has all played out, he is likely to be one of the most hated men in American history I'm not sure he really needs to be worrying about it too much...
