Given people are reporting less than 24 hours from having a test to a result do you think they would go back as far as the 23rd?

Numbers from the 25th could be swabs from the 23rd. Numbers on the 26th will be mainly tests from the 24th.

Sounds like a Bond villain company

Not that exciting lol, but it's one of the companies that has been developing a vaccine. Not involved in it directly myself, work in their IT development arm.

50 additional hospitalisations in the past 24 hours.

Would be really surprised, if we won't follow rest of the Europe on case numbers and sadly on the other things too.

Oh dear that is high.

It was obvious numbers would drop when we stopped testing 40 thousand in 2 days and the festive period comes to a close.

There was no need to panic, but we did, again.

I know it sounds mad but I wouldn't be surprised given who I work for, their huge resources and how involved they are in this pandemic. They're not perfect but they can get things done.

Possibly when multiple vaccines come on stream and supply is plentiful,but in the short to medium time frame no chance

Rte reporting the vaccination is being rolled out on Tuesday,a day ahead. The lads are cutting their holidays short.

I'd guess a backlog of around 800-1000 cases has been built up but we will see,

It is all being skewed due to Christmas, best guess is our case load on normal testing numbers is around 1,000 daily.

Still very unlikely, as it has to be properly coordinated for data recording, medical records etc.
I don't care if they are making the vaccine in front of you, they still can't just vaccinate you.

I still can't get over us idiots not giving out the vaccine today.

Blast numbers high in Cork today

Is this true. Saw this online

Latest HSE protocol to only test close contacts once is a recipe for disaster. As so many are only testing positive on the second test. Another major blunder that will have COVID positive people out and about and back to work

Perhaps contact tracing slow due to numbers they not getting in on time for the first test just the day7 one.

Should have lined the port tunnel with our sleeves rolled up and had them throw them like darts out of the truck.......

He uses Trump logic. You know the cases only exist because you are testing more :pac:

Same here in Wicklow, but wouldn't read too much into it. I suspect numbers will be up and down until the new year when testing gets back to normal.

They won’t be “giving out” the vaccine at all.

There are procedures and protocols to be followed.

The two or three days they take to get started won’t make a blind bit of difference.

It’s just another think for the permanently outraged to latch on to.

Case numbers will peak in around 10 days from today, probably at around 2000 per day, we will then see a steady decline.

I would anticipate non-essential retail will close from 2January for around 4 weeks.

It is going to be a long January

Add February

Varadkar said today that the current restrictions will be for a prolonged period

Unless they still working on them.

You are right, might won't make a difference. But I guess public was expecting a bit more. Speaking for myself, I certainly was. As it was pointed many times, we need public buy in more than ever now.

I'd say case numbers will peak much later, we are still heading for a New year..

A nurse in Waterford told me there has been a large outbreak in a non-Covid ward yesterday. So that may be contributing to the hospital increase

We'll be looking at far more than 2,000 cases per day in 10 days time.

Christmas day has the potential to kick this into another gear too.

Yes they stopped the second test due to demand last week iirc

As a close contact to a positive case, I had my second test today

At least some of those will be connected to the outbreak in the Direct Provision Center.


WIth Level 5 Cork always seems to come down quite quickly, and to numbers far lower than you'd expect given its population.

What’s the difference between ICU and hospitalisation? Like I get the fact ICU is critical/more serious but what exactly does hospitalisation exactly mean/look like?

Horrifically high. I sincerely hope it does not continue on that trajectory for the next 14 days or we will be goosed. We done well so far to avoid some of the images from Italy and New York.
