alliswell While we have you. Chances of schools reopening? If you don't want to say too much, wink for yes, straight face for no. :P Hard to say really.

I think this is a massive powerplay by the health authorities to make the public health system very big with plenty of capacity to spare. I want a public health system with tonnes of capacity but we have to accept, this needs to be paid for forever and will come out of our wages. I genuinely believ...

It’s not in the job role to be political. You have to be wary of anyone’s who life goal in politics is to become President of Ireland so he can pontificate.

So what if it is rising exponentially or any of the nentiallys its killing fück all people.

Sorry bud, e^x is an example of an exponential function but exponential functions are given by a^x and these functions will grow if both a and x are greater than zero . The progression described by Nolan would give you 1.04^x which is an exponential function that would grow. Edit: x being the time ...

Whilst X to the power of 0.04 is indeed a geometrical progression, it does not constitute exponential growth, which is generally understood to be of the form : e to the power of x, where x > 1 .

The chair of the fúcking modelling group either doesn't know what exponential growth is, or is plain lying. Do you know what it means? I'm an engineer. It's growth (or decay if the index is negative) by geometric progression, rather, than , for example linear progression. The value of the index def...
