~ 50% of new cases are related to outbreaks in households

Rugby supporters, let's not forget the thousands who went to Cheltenham and the Liverpool champions League match. Our borders never closed.

The match was cancelled though so I don't know how many made it over. Maybe it was thousands but not sure who was counting. I think total number who would be going before this would be 5 to 10k so be interesting to know how many of that figure actually did make it over. Just thousands roaming the streets makes them seem like some sort of zombie horde or something.

We had some no doubt, but you'd wonder how many traveled in the end after the match was cancelled and with all that was going on over in Italy at that moment. Are Italian rugby fans known for travelling in massive numbers even in the best of times?

It's possible that we had thousands, but I wonder did we actually have as many as that.

There were a lot of people going to Ski resorts in Italy too. I'm from a very small town and I couldn't believe how many from here went.

People gave out about people going to the pub for a pint in March...Not what they should have directed their anger at

They are older people who have been probably fighting it for a long time, or like yesterday historic deaths (7 of yesterdays 17 were from march).

And that's just people travelling to/from Italy. Let's not forget that Spain and France and Germany (and later the UK) weren't that far behind. As for the pints, two wrongs don't make one right.

I was in the city that weekend. I came across a few but, not as many as if there was a match taking place.

Did they already live here? Were they over for the weekend? Who knows?

76 new residential home cases in the last few days. Another explanation for the increases last few days.

Really odd since all residential homes have been closed to visitors since March 12th, people quarantined in their rooms and all testing supposed to have been done a few weeks ago

The testing hasn't stopped afaik, this is an ongoing thing

Yeah I think that's the other side of it. People seriously underestimate how many people from other countries live here especially in Dublin. Unless they're wondering around in Italy gear (and even then) or there was a massive influx compared to usual, it's hard to know for definite how many did travel.

Can other parts of the country open up quicker than others - like maybe specifically my local hairdressers, for example?

Whatever about my choice of words sorry if it gives a false image but many came as they had paid for their flight and accommodation. We also had thousands of Irish at both Cheltenham and a Liverpool both of which has been admitted in the UK as contributing to needless Covid deaths there. So it is within reason that if these two UK events were a factor in some UK Covid it's logical to assume some deaths here were also a result of these same sporting events.
It leads me back to your original comment about cases in Ireland and Japan. Japan closed their borders to high risk travellers, we had individuals travel to a high risk area and visitors from a high risk area.
Apologies for the long response.

Nolan is very positive and I have to say and unapologetically so which is great to see.

Dr Tony doing his normal negative routine now.
The best he gives is that if everything keeps up we can get through the stages as planned.
He is really draining my energy.

Were they dressed up in their colours for a non-existent match? How did you notice them?

Hindsight is everything but not sure why gov didn't ask people to self-isolate earlier when coming back from high risk areas.

I remember at the start HSE were saying they would be in airport to monitor things for any direct flights from Wuhan to Ireland. I'm not even sure if there are any direct flights. Think there might have been 1 a day to London so maybe it's impossible to do much even if there were temperature checks which I don't think there ever were.

Figure of new cases is 46, but the total only adds 38. Not sure why there's so many tests being de-notified.

Yeah I get that,

Just wondering after spending 11 weeks quarantined in their rooms, how are they Getting infected.

It has to be transmitted by staff and any new cases breaking out in care homes should have an immediate inspection of their work practices and safety procedures.

Yeah I understand and agree with your main point. I think people wearing masks year round in Japan too plays a part. Was there in October and loads were wearing them. Could also be similar to NZ, island nation that can control its borders compared to us being in EU, free movement of travel, travel from UK/NI etc.

Ah, I was just taking the piss out of Zara King there. She didn't ask today, but most days she asks about hairdressers.
