    Given the discrepancy between swabs and cases the last couple days, todays number aren't overly concerning.
    Unless today's swab count was particularly high but haven't seen that reported.

    If the backlog is indeed included today then that insinuates ~700 positive swabs today

    No further deaths.

    1,025 new confirmed cases.

    Wasn’t there something about not having full testing capacity this weekend due to the bank holiday and understaffing?

    Only affects 600 tests, which were outsourced. So no.

    Yeah but the nvrl does a minority only. One of the other labs should be able to step up. We will see when we get swab data.

    Seems more like people looking to be offended by him. He's just repeating what we all should know and be doing.

    Hard to know, could back logged cases be playing their part in the up and down nature of counties daily numbers.

    1000 cases in a country with a population of 4,900,000.

    He's not saying anything that the government hasn't told people to do.

    Cue the predictable responses that nobody can tell anybody what to do :cool:

    Reminding people of that would be within his remit.

    A Janey, it is his job, what should he do, tell everybody go on have the craic, dont give a hoot about anybody but yourself, lets keep business closed for good, let covid rip through the country, sure who gives a monkeys, let the teachers get sick and the civil servant and the shop keeper and the bread man, sure it is all a bit of fun, go on have the laugh, sure it is all great fun. We all love home schooling and sure if the nurses and carers get sick, sure they be all grand. People wont mind their appointment cancelled. Who wants to look at a Gaa match or a rugby match anyways, empty stadiums, great craic. Lets all have the craic, That old virus, sure it is just a bit of a cold.

    Dublin is a disaster zone with those numbers. How long have they been in at least level 3 now with no noticeable decline.

    I was walking down the street today and some elderly woman with a mask almost jumped into a bush when i walked past, almost on the road.

    The fear of god being peddled by the media will have us ruined for years.

    Hardly a disaster zone now is it, out of a population of over a million people.

    But that must be 15,000 cases in last 15 days, and they are the ones we know about.

    What fear? Wear a mask, wash your hands and keep your distance. It's very simple.

    Considering its population, its size and density its far from a disaster.
