Were you expecting numbers in Dublin to be lower?
I think the one conclusion we can draw from Dublin is that level 3 was not enough, despite what Leo said. However, I think by the end of this week we will begin to see the effects of level 5 come through in case numbers. However if cases do not drop fairly substantially after a couple of weeks, who will be the scapegoat then? , will it be feckless construction workers on their lunch break, maybe people leaving their windows closed at home.
As we all know the virus does a u- turn when it approaches a school building, it seeks out the nearest private home instead.

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.

Let's be positive. Look around the world. We are holding our own well.

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

Sorry its not. Remember 3 of those counties were level 4 and Dublin was at level 3 for about 5 week I think. It not good enough to hold steady. But I for one thought we wold see a greater decrease today.

Source for that BS claim? Our test numbers don't reflect us missing 1400 cases based on the positivity rate.

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

Wouldn’t bet on it. I thought the timing of that news article on Covid spreading on an aircraft was dubious to say the least. I can’t actually see us back at level 3 anytime soon being honest much as I hate this lockdown rubbish.

That's exactly why we moved to Level 5. Wait 10 days and see if it is working. Takes around 3 weeks to work.

I'm not saying level 5 will not work. It will work. But have we to stay in level 5 just to keep numbers down. Level 3 didn't work that was clear to see.

2000 people not contact traced. Average 5.2 contacts person. 11000 contacts missed. Average positivity among contact traced persons is circa 13%. They went through this in the press briefing during the week. George Lee asked the question I believe.

Therefore 1400 cases missed from contact tracing snafu.

Some of them were picked up from people doing their own contact tracing but others weren't.

As I said me feeling negative suspects 700 were missed leaving the week basically level.

I know and why I said back to the topic with my next post. Mloc123 on the other hand thought he was on some other thread.

So you're basing this on George Lee and some tissue paper math?

Is he your grandad by any chance? Yer negativity is very similar

Yep.

While other posters have been throwing parties about positive signs that I feel has a big cloud over them.

I reckon the doom and gloom merchants are fairly disappointed about the numbers coming down. They want to live in lockdown forever. The government should have sat tight at the level 3 or at least tried the level 4 for a week or 2.

I think we will decay by 100 cases every 3 days, do the math.

Give over!

Nobody wants the case numbers to stay High nor live in lockdown.

there's a bizarre campaign on here against anything perceived as negative the last week or so.

I was expecting lower numbers because we often see a backlog build up over the weekend. Mind you, with level 5, there is not much to do at the weekends, so maybe people were happier to work overtime. Anyway, hoping for decent swab numbers tomorrow.

You lived abroad, what an odd thing to bring into the discussion.

Yeah you spent 400e socialising 3 nights a week, not crazy at all. Supplementary costs on nights out add up.

If you sat in your local and spent 400e solid on booze 3 nights a week as you appear to be claiming, there were no good times, you were a fall down drunk.

I think the two of ye need to form a social bubble, get 400euro worth of booze and ride the ****e out of each other.

Yer sexual tension has derailed this thread for hours.

I can't really tell which side you're trying to satirise.. was "decay" intentional? As in, the number of cases will go down?

Away With The Fairies

What's going on in Dublin to have such high numbers, around 250 for a few weeks. It doesn't look as if it's dropping.

SleetAndSnow

Donegal staying steady at around 50 cases a day too bar one or two days. 3 in a row above 50 now again

The first part of your post is pure nonsense. If you could point out one person that is disappointed case numbers are coming down or can show anyone wants to live on a lockdown forever please do but I think you will struggle.


On the second point maybe if it was another time of year the government could\might have waited a week or two more to see how level 3 was working.


How would you feel after them two weeks if they didn't work and they has to announce 6 weeks of restrictions all through December?
