    Interesting to see if Gardai will abuse their powers like the way they doing in the UK.

    I'm always wary about giving police more powers.

    From what I’m seeing I’m more concerned how the general public are abusing restrictions. A party out my neighbors back again, about 12 people going a little ape.

    Surely people deserve to be surrounded by loved ones as they approach the end of life no matter what?

    People do deserve that, but unfortunately in these circumstances people are not getting what they should deserve in normal times.

    they gave it yesterday too (if not the day before that aswell)

    They gave it every day since Monday but people had been led to believe that the German results had been included in the total figures.

    In China they starve their people thus resulting in viruses like this.

    Hardly a model to follow.

    A hole of a country.

    Ya and you can literally not believe a word they are saying about numbers.

    is it as simple as keeping a track of the number waiting for test results is laborious to find out and they don't want to spend the time doing it?

    Ring the cops. Frustrating enough abiding by the rules when fools like this contribute to the problem.

    It's an absolute nightmare but the fear would be that anyone coming in off the street would be carrying the infection with them.

    Horrendous situation for the affected families though.

    Gee I wish I was 22 again and my biggest worry was my current entry level job and a part time degree...wow...

    I'd go on the dole for 6 months, get a sharp haircut and swipe right on everything, everything on Tinder.

    I'd need another 6 months to recover.

    I have been reading the figures and I have to say that for a country that is very urbanised and has light restrictions compared to the rest of Europe Sweden is not actually doing to badly.

    86 deaths, so far, per million population doesn't agree with you.

    RTE are suggesting sending lit lanterns up into the night sky at the exact same time there is an orange fire warning in place and the emergency services are kinda busy with this pandemic thing - sure what could possibly go wrong? :rolleyes:

    I have to say, of all the stupid suggestions I've heard this one is in the top five.

    As of Wednesday night? I'm still confused to be honest.
    • So 7K doesn't include German results and is up to Wednesday night.
    • 8K is up to Wednesday night including all the previous tests that were sent to Germany.
    • or 8k is including all results up until tonight?


    Always best to stick to one number going forward.


    There are three figures given.


    7071. This is the total number confirmed up until Wednesday midnight - whether tests were analysed in Germany or in Ireland. The further statistics he gave (median, sex, number admitted to hospital, number admitted to ICU, etc) are all based on this group.


    7074. This is the number of cases confirmed by Irish laboritories up until sometime this afternoon. This is the number they have been tracking daily all along.


    8089. This is the number of cases confirmed by Irish plus German laboritories up until the same time this afternoon. The 1015 German cases confirmed yesterday and today (ie 8089-7074) represent "historic" infections, ie, probably from two weeks ago or so.


    As I understand it anyway.

    900 of these cases each day in Spain Italy UK etc.

    Yet people need to escape their prison cell that is home.

    It's not about anyone having a good time and us not, its about them spreading the virus around whilst we all make a considerable effort not to.

    I wouldn't hesitate for a second to ring the Gardai for others having a party or barbecue etc..in my estate given the present circumstances.

    They are prolonging the lockdown for everybody with such sh1thouse behaviour.

    Yup.
    An utterly braindead Idea.
    Let's honour Frontline Workers by littering the countryside with literally flaming material that could potentially start gorse fires and injury domestic animals and wildlife.

    I'm sure the firefighters, farmers, rescues, and vets are thrilled to be thus honoured.

    With so much vacant space in hospitals at the moment could they not put patients near death in a separate area away from others as much as possible?
