Covid19 Part XIX-25,802 in ROI (1,753 deaths) 5,859 in NI (556 deaths) (21/07)Read OP

I noticed that new zealand had an imported case from Dublin yesterday. Usually when you're at the point of exporting cases, there's a pretty high number of infections because if there wasn't the odds are extremely low that a single traveler would have the virus. This was certainly the case during the earlier outbreaks in china and italy. People traveling to and from there brought it around the world before anyone even realized. I hope this doesn't mean that the virus is still bubbling away under the surface in dublin.

Thousands of Irish idiots will though. And tens of thousands of British

Its no point saying no body will abide this time. They will have too and many more people in Ireland will loose their lively hoods. Its happening. I wish people would stop being annoyed and acting as if nothings happening. It is and its not going away. I se young people saying ah yes but in Brazil and India young ones died because they are a third world country. Id like to put a load of Irish 20- 30 yr olds against Brazilians and tell you who is the fittest. The Brazilians from the favellas are playing football are on the beach every day doing exercise. They arnt pasty fat fellsa here slugging pints in pubs and snorting Coke. They are in the sun and are way fitter. Who in Ireland are on par with Brazillian footballers. The only reason more young ones die there is bcos they dont have facillities in hospitals.

I doubt there's anything hiding in Dublin to be honest, nearly all daily cases come from there

Remember guys, the pubs admitted themselves in March that they couldn't enforce social distancing.

There's no end to this is there? Today has been utterly depressing. No good news on the horizon. Predictions of new lockdowns and massive numbers of permanent job losses.
Bring on the vaccine ASAP....

Of course it's bubbling away under the surface. It's still around.

Company I'm with used to be based on the campus of University of Limerick. Before Covid the company moved to Castletroy Industry Park. Heard if company was still on the UL campus it would have been near impossible to run as normal.

This is serious connotation for private companies on public grounds.

The vaccine is far from a guarantee too I'm afraid

Many of them fail at Phase 3

If you get it, do the right thing and don't fly back till it's gone.

Where did you see Dublin mentioned? I had a look at the site below, it mentions Italy as the source

https://www.health.govt.nz/news-media/media-releases/1-new-case-covid-19-8

There is one new case of COVID-19 to report in managed isolation in New Zealand today.

It has been 76 days since the last case of COVID-19 was acquired locally from an unknown source.

Today’s case is the child of two people previously reported as having COVID-19. They arrived in New Zealand from Italy on July 4. The family is in quarantine at the Commodore Hotel in Christchurch.

One previously reported case is now considered to have recovered, so the number of active cases of COVID-19 in New Zealand remains at 27.

The total number of confirmed cases is now 1,198, which is the number we report to the World Health Organization.

We go to Spain several times a year, we are fortunate to be able to do it and I am thankful for that.

But no travel at all outside Ireland for us for the foreseeable. Not worth it, and the OH is not keen on cramming into an aircraft either and the hassle real or imagined of airports either side.

It really is ramping up in Spain, and they did so well. I reckon they should have told the Brits to go to feck and stay away, but YouTube is full of clips from places like Benidorm (face palm) etc. really bigging it up and telling people things are opening up and come on over. It was bound to be a disaster.

Have a look at Spain Speaks on YT. Quite informative and nearly daily updates from someone who lives in Madrid and has finger on the pulse. He just got back from Lugo up North and then it was closed down.

Must be very scary for them. The balance of tourism v health is not working now. Spain probably needs to not rely on tourism to the extent that it does. But that's easy for me to say.

No, I think its just citizens, residents and essential travel only and they have to quarantine in specific hotels for 2 weeks. Flights have to keep running

Referring back to the list of positive cases and the list of countries given out for here the other day from places like Pakistan, India etc where the daily numbers are not to be trusted why would any country including Ireland allow them in period

Anyone coming from a country outside Europe (including a few in Europe) should be mandatory quarantine at their own expense. Wouldn't be trusting the numbers at all from any non first world country

Madness letting these people in

TBH I would have no problem with paying for mandatory quarantine from my taxes for visitors outside the Green Zones, whatever they are now. Far better value for money than shutting the country down really.

I notice that the Acting CMO is dismissing foreign travel as a vector too. Handy that. Don't upset anyone. But keep us all at home.

Will those posters saying that reinfections are happening take the vaccine? Hardly much point if they believe there's no immunity or a very short immunity.

Even if you don't get long term immunity from having the disease, this does not mean you won't get it from the vaccine or even the other way round. They are not equivalent in terms of immunity.

You will, if you end up in an ICU.
