Dublin still just hanging around the mid 200s like a bold bastard.

Level 3 will never fix Dublin i think that's clear now

Got to move to Leitrim or wherever it is with good Broadband.

That's probably the way this will go for those who can WFH and be mobile.

Who'd a thunk it.

If Biden wins, he won't have executive powers until 20th January... that's three months that this pandemic could be raging while a lame duck Trump abdicates any responsibility for it. Not good.

yup. if trump loses, he will sulk for the next two and a half months and do nothing but tweet conspiracy theories. the pandemic will spiral completely out of control (even more than it already is). it's about to get real ****ty over there.

True, but the new political reality will be evident in Congress, even before the new Congress itself takes office on 3rd January. If Trump is history, some moderate Republicans will have no reason not to act with Dems to assign funding as appropriate to begin supporting intervention measures.

As an indicator for tomorrow are we at about 62635 positives?

Hospital 341 confirmed cases in hospitals (+26), 38 confirmed cases in ICU.

That's a big hospital increase

Cork and Galway cases seem to be going down which is good.

The island yes... The country is 26 however.

Not the right thread for this

Edit: OK having deleted close to 40 posts relating to this 26 vs 32 county nonsense I will say that the thread was seriously derailed by all of that and any more of it will mean an immediate threadban. Plenty of other threads to air your views on that, this is not one of them

You get your news from interesting places.


Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN)

"CBN News combines both secular and religious news with a strong Christian right bias. There is the moderate use of loaded emotional language such as this: Half of Pastors Worry They’ll Offend Someone if They Preach on Controversial Topics. This story is appropriately sourced to credible media such as CBS News. Editorially CBN holds right-leaning viewpoints and reports favorably on President Trump. When it comes to science, CBN holds a skeptical view of climate change and evolution."

Liege in Belgium has 1 in 3 of those who can get tested testing positive and they are asking doctors who are infected but asymptomatic to keep working

Poland looking bad too.

Setting up cars parks for Covid patients, hospitals full.

Ambulances with Covid patients waiting hours outside until someone leaves/dies like we saw in Wuhan.

7 day average today is 1014 compared to 1100 last week.

We shall see tomorrow. In general hospital discharges can be slow at a weekend.

I do agree it is somewhat worrying.

Hopefully covid positive asymptomatic staff or those with antibodies are working with covid positive patients.
Caveat and none of the staff are false postives.

Today's numbers are a little disappointing I would say. But hard to draw any real conclusions until we get the swab data tomorrow.

We shall see. Probably won't see the results for weeks anyway.

The record turnout for early voting means his time is more than likely up. Republicans tend to vote on the day. Donald will console himself with the idea that the election was rigged, the fake media were part of the conspiracy.

I wouldn’t get too excited, it’s a bank holiday weekend.

Be interesting to see where we are by the end of the week.

Yep stubbornly stuck there

Hopefully it starts to decrease later this week

When level 5 kicks in in about 10 days we'll see Dublin numbers fall.

It is relevant when the goal when we leave level 5 is going back to level 3

Well level 3 does seem to give stability, so if numbers to down as they should in level 5, it is very low risk to move to level 3. Level 2 in December, on the other hand, sounds pretty risky to me

We just need to hold steady until Level 5 kicks in next week sometime.

Might be risky but I'm not sure the government can afford not to at least have the travel aspect of level 2 as people will travel to see friends, family, partners at Christmas no matter what level the government say

So on average we have dropped less than a 100 cases. Not good at all. We need to be dropping more on a weekly basis. This day week we need to be less than 800 average. If we a striving for level 3. But I think it will be level 2 opening for December.

Sorry, yes, they will definitely let people travel. Don't think they'll open pubs/restaurants though

Breakdown of contact tracing last weekend meant 1400 cases approx slipped through the cracks over the last week.

Some people did their own contact tracing to an extent. Others didn't. We don't know how many did.

My negative mind suggests 700 slipped through the cracks and things are basically flat for the week.

We are dropping under Level 3 restrictions. That is very positive.

Agree about travel and pubs. I think they might leave actual restaurants open.

Level 3 didn't give stability in Dublin, it just slowed down the rise in cases.

It may work when we get to the stage that we don't have many cases. It may prevent another lockdown if we stick at level 3 when we come out of this.

I've never been so randy for some swab results.
