Going by the digital dashboard, Kerry has gone from 15 cases yesterday to 33 today!

Offies still open, I guess they are deemed "essential". Saw a post that Homesavers in Manor also deemed "essential". There's not a whole lot closing really.

Any business remaining open which isn’t in fact an essential service should be ashamed of themselves. This includes off licences and clothes shops etc. It’s utterly ridiculous. It’s giving the general public a reason to be out and spread the virus.

Unless u are providing a services which is immediately essential to the running of a home or business you should be closed.

Shame on those trying to make a quick buck while the rest have done the right but very tough decision to close.

I’d sooner support any business that has closed than one who has remained open trying to capitalise.

When did you start showing symptoms?

Honestly not sure if it's an ongoing normal viral infection or C19 but I'm high risk so my GP requested a test.
Ive been off since last Friday and can now work from home.

England have gotten to the party much later than we have so they have to push much harder now so as not to be overwhelmed. A situation like Italy is very likely there.
Herd immunity won’t work in a situation like this where many people will become sick at the same time. Way more people will die needlessly because of it.
Our system is running pretty much exactly as predicted according to the modeling from day one, and we are now getting to the stage where the figures from when the lockdown started last week will be accounted for and hopefully a trend for the flatter curve will be prevalent. There will indeed be huge pressure on the hospitals but hopefully manageable pressure. If not, then further restrictions are obviously necessary.
We are ramping up testing also, so more people will obviously appear through this. Testing in the UK is not even close to what we are doing.
If you look at the N.I versus the southern Irish figures this variation is obvious.
It should be noted that the hospitals are really ramping up bed spaces and ICU alongside the testing stations being set up to account for the predicated levels.
Our much more sparse population compared to Europe and the UK, alongside our earlier action in trying to get ahead will surely stand to us too.
I would say there is a large amount of the population that have this, go untested, are asymptomatic but infectious, which leads to the very speedy spread.
There is a huge amount of rubbish posted everywhere about this, and most people really have no idea what they are talking about.
Get informed.

Amongst much hyperbole this gentle man speaks the truth.

Erudite observations. A tip of the hat to you good sir.

Have to disagree re BOI. When I was in town Monday the queue to get in the building which is managed ending up merging and mingling with the queue for the ATM.

Admittedly, I did catch them at a quiet time but the had security keeping us at a distance outside. Hopefully just teething problems.

I only went down because I received my debit card but have not gotten my PIN yet, so could only access my money in person. I will aim to do everything online in future.

Even if Kerry has only a fraction of the cases in Dublin or Cork, a jump from 12 to 15 is still significant:

Killarney would have been a problem, I believe, if the restrictions had not come into place when it did. The town is sparse now compared to what it usually is.
They must get close to half and million people going through there each year ( if not even more ). Social distancing is something that people will want to be aware of themselves, especially those standing in queues waiting to get into shops etc. We will keep our fingers crossed that the numbers here stay relatively low.
Stay safe everyone!

With testing being ramped up over the last 7-10 days...it's actually not...it will continue to rise... but it's going to be expected...I'd be more worried if there were no new cases.... then we'd know people weren't getting tested.
The systems are in place..and overall they're working.

LOCKDOWN
Better safe (at home) than sorry, but hopefully we look back and wonder what this overreaction was all about.

"I like it when people are thinking I'm overreacting," Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases "because that means we're doing it just right." Fauci's point is that "when you're dealing with an emerging infectious disease outbreak, you are always behind where you think you are, if you think that today reflects where you really are."
That's especially true with a disease like COVID-19, since the vast majority of infections involve mild to nonexistent symptoms. In the absence of widespread testing, the number of known cases therefore creates a misleading picture of the epidemic.
Fauci was referring to the guidelines recommending that elderly and people with serious pre-existing medical conditions remain at home. They also advise the general public to avoid bars, restaurants, unnecessary travel, and groups of more than 10 people and confining millions of people to their homes except for "essential" purposes. That includes not going to Banna btw so show some personal responsibility.

Do the people calling for a lockdown actually understand wha it actually means? It's not as easy as some think to just go ahead and do it

No, in fact it could be quite the opposite.... lockdowns lead to spikes in infection when the general population reintegrates...
the W.H.O. say no, the CMO in Ireland says no...the only people calling for it are Mary Lou McDonald and Ill informed Facebook "experts" .... think I'll look to the real experts tbh

An increase of 219 cases in Ireland. Bit of a jump...

Up to last Sat approximately 5% of those tested were positive. There are 40,000 people waiting to be tested up to yesterday. If 5% of these test positive that will be 2,000 cases on top of the 1,100 we have already.

Our death rate so far is low compared to GB, but to keep it low everyone must follow the HSE recommendations, especially those on social distancing, hand washing, and avoiding unnecessary car journeys.

The government may decide not to follow the UK in declaring a national lockdown, but the more of us who STAY AT HOME except for essential shopping, the lower the death rate in Ireland will be.

Its looking more likely it will happen here. Although Leo did dismiss that today, but more restrictions are meant to be announced tomorrow as far as I know?

I think he is going to be under pressure to change his stance on it now

Ya there is supposed to be a meeting tomorrow and we'll hear more then

Was in the GPO this afternoon - relatively empty. Only one person ahead of me and they now have a barrier keeping you a small distance from counter and the gap in the glass is taped over.

Saw groups of teenagers and pavees hanging around Dealz/Tesco as if nothing was going on at all.

They will have to remove that centre portion with cards/phones/postage boxes in the post office. While standing at the counter there is definitely not any safe distance behind for people to get past to other counter/leave. I went the long way around so as not to pass by someone, only for him to stroll right behind me to leave.
