I think the idea was to point out that just because they've had some cases, they don't need to be locked down right now.

I think the numbers of people waiting for beds around the country shows that while cases are bad in Dublin , no area of the country can afford to be complacent .

Ah great, we have another who won't answer a direct question.

Again, what is your suggestion/proposal rather than withering on about politics?

You show me how to condense thousands of pages of information into a digestible post on a message board, and I'll show you how to cure this pandemic.

If you left Mitchelstown you’d be in Northern Ireland before you’d be at the opposite side of the county.

Just to prove how big Cork is

Yes.
Apparently all warned 5 years ago about getting the health and other services ready for just this scenario.
But no government in this country has ever done more than lurch from crisis to crisis.

No "apparently" about it. Strategies were completed 8 years ago and given to every government.

They were also specifically warned about China, right down to the genetic variables of potential zoonotics arising from that place.

But, you know, cheap labour and maximum profit were given precedent. I wonder are they laughing now watching economies die I won't pretend, there's a schadenfreude to the whole disaster.

Can we start the new thread, but leave the last 200 posts left in this thread before the 10k limit for those who want to argue the ratio of Dublin's width to Cork's height please.

I think we're close to a cure for Covid though

He's right:eek: Google mapped it 2 hours 51 to the border near Newry and 2 hour 51 to Lambs head Co. Cork both from Mitchelstown

Good point but have to factor in how good the motorway system is and how ****e some of our normal roads are.

Just got to level 3 already for the above average counties. Get it over and done with

You have made a good point. There are no metrics associated with the different levels. What is the target for Dublin to be back to level 2, or indeed what level would indicate it reaching level 4? There is plenty of stuck but not much in terms of a carrot.

And can we do all this with having 40 super spreaders sitting in a room together for 6 hours A day 5 days a week, and then going home to their families every evening and weekends.

Rates in Cork beginning to look quite scary now. 34 cases today...

If you adjusted that to compare to Dublin...it would be like having 200+ cases a day in Dublin or more. WOW

Pop Cork: 542,868
Pop Dublin: 1,347,359

So there’s 2.482 times the population of Cork in Dublin.

So it would work out at 84 cases per scaled up to Dublin pop, which is giving Cork a similar level of cases as Dublin was having over the last few days.

We need to start publishing cases in per 100,000 figures as I’m finding, as is always the case in Ireland, we tend to see counties as identically comparable blocks.

I mean the counties go from 1.3m to 0.55 million and then you’re down 0.25 million for Galway and everything smaller than that is less than 200,000

11 of the 26 are less than 100,000, with Longford and Leitrim at less than 50,000.

Leitrim isn’t much bigger than a Dublin or Cork suburb.

The other issue I would like to see ironed out is urban cases per 100,000.

It’s hard to get a sense of what’s happening in Cork City for example if we are rolling in case loads from rural areas and meat processing outbreaks and so on.

I think you're after making a b*lls of that calculation.
34 * 2.482 = 84..

There are many secrets the government doesn't want you to know.

For instance, you are immune to the virus if you breathe backwards.

I heard that anyone who has died from Covid had a pre-existing condition called lungs. Open your eyes sheeple.

Easy. Take a deep breath and let it out. Well it's just like that but in reverse.

Seriously, people need to watch that film called "Contagion".

Theres a character played by Jude law that is a social media personality, and he's a charlatan spreading disinformation and doubt in order to become wealthy, making things much worse for everyone else in the process.

It's actually quite bizarre seeing fiction come to life.

It's fairly accurate for a good reason, the cast and crew met with disease experts for consultation here in Europe.

DangerScouse

Cases now headed to a very bad place in the UK. Going to be a very bleak few months there as things fall apart. I think we are roughly 15-20 days behind them in Dublin with the rest of the country another 10 days back. We still have a window to act but it is closing, fast.
