Would anyone here be able to point me in the direction of finding a an up to date definitive answer on travelling for a funeral of a family member? I have contacted my local Garda Station, the Garda Traffic Corps Headquarters, the IAFD and searched through Gov.ie and cannot find an answer. The lady in the IAFD did state however that if i was not able to travel over 2km regardless of who passed away as it isn't consider essential travel. That to me seems crazy and ill-informed, that I could freely exceed 2km to a shop for teabags but cannot for a family funeral. Perhaps she's correct though, I don't know.

Think numbers at funerals are also limited to 10 people maybe check with the undertaker?

Cheers, yeah, I'm aware of that, There would be less than 10 including myself.

UK deaths released

England 828 (201 of which were in London)
Soctland 70
Wales 33
NI 5

936 deaths in the UK in hospitals. I believe it is the highest daily total in Europe in a single day when excluding nurshing/home deaths.

46 of the 828 patients in England who died had no known health conditions

Not sure there is much point getting hung up on the “underlying health conditions” thing unless there is clarity on what is considered an underlying condition. IMO, being obese would likely severely impact your ability to fight the virus off, but I’m not convinced obesity is considered an underlying condition.

Good news for Boris : he appears to be improving this evening according to Rishi Sunak

Checkpoint I'd imagine. Same with traffic on the n11 past bray at the moment at a standstill. Garda checkpoint at Kilmac stopping everyone

K, the taoiseach's figures were pulled out of his arse(more likely the HSEs), with near zero basis in reality. The testing has been a farce and is not fit for purpose, so any figures are largely meaningless, when the figures finally come with the delay of up to two weeks. Look to deaths. That and ICU numbers are the only numbers we can have any confidence in.

Sure, we're doing a better job than the UK, but they screwed up massively. Just comparing oneself to an idiot only makes one a lesser idiot, not a genius. If we compare ourselves to the Czechs who did a much better job, we'd have around fifty dead now, not over two hundred. We're in the top ten worldwide for percentage dead per million. And that's with the major advantage of having one of the lowest population densities in the western world.

So no K, the Irish people and certainly the government and the HSE aren't doing such a great job when compared to others doing a better one.

Jesus wibbs as someone who normally contributes brilliantly to most forums we cross paths in that's a very negative post. You didn't strike me as the "sure I'd do better than the guberment" type but the above post does give off more than a hint of this. So anything anyone can do that you'd give actual credit to ?

One of the exemptions to the 'no travel' rule is family obligations - you are probably okay - but checking with the undertaker seems a good idea. Sympathy.

UK deaths now at 7097. These are hospital only deaths. I wonder how many are dying outside hospitals e.g. nursing homes? At least we are counting everyone.

It's consequences very well could be underdiagnosed diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease.

Ireland has highest % of undiagnosed and untreated hypertension in Europe AKAIR.

I think there was a clause re: compassionate grounds.

May your relative rest in peace.

That Twitter post knows it relates to Garda checkpoint but wants to tell a different story.

Thank you very much. The road traffic corp didn't't know and passed me through to a press office whom also didn't know. You think they would have the specifics of why they are stopping people.

26% rise in Italian cases .... load of f*cking bollix

Hector Savage

The problem with these lockdowns are, that even if the lockdown is still going on in December, we are still gonna be seeing 3/4K cases a day in Spain/Italy, which will still be massive for the hospitals to handle.

26% rise in new Italian cases perhaps? I read this and thought 30k new cases.

I presume he meant to type 2.6% rise today, but it's more 2.8%.

It's under 4000 again with 542 new deaths. As bad as it is for deaths is still not as bad as you make it out to be for new cases.

Along with 2000 recoveries

When people are rushing to post todays figures first, remember, there not just numbers your posting, they are peoples lifes.

Its someones Mother, someones Father, someones Son, Someones Daughter, Someones Brother, Someones Sister. Each number is a person.

Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done
in earth, as it is in heaven:
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive them that trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil

Amen.

If I touch this post I believe il be cured.

I think he meant that today's new case numbers are 26% higher than yesterday.

Probably an indication of the greater number of tests being carried out.
.
Italy continues to improve death/resolved = 17669/44160

40.01% now under 43% for 5th consecutive day.
