They haven't had it, clearly.

Hmm, looks to me like we're seeing the seed of an idea being carefully planted on this thread - that no matter how cases and deaths may continue to rise, it's mostly in care homes.

And that means we can shake our heads and say what a terrible shame it is. Right after we sink our fifth after-work pint down the boozer.

What “boozer” are you in? Many around?

I think you missed his point entirely.

The Gardai have slacked off and are not enforcing it anymore

To be honest, I've seen very little Garda presence since the start of this lockdown period.

I don't know if there's been much change there in how they do they do their job.

People have just relaxed and now the idea of "May 5th" is in people's heads. Ah sure, it'll be grand.

At times I think we are a very stupid nation.

Duke of Url · 23-04-2020 05:53PM

This was bound to happen. Since the start we have constantly 25% of total confirmed cases being healthcare workers.

It’s not the average Joe that has triggered the avalanche of nursing home cases in Ireland.

I fully support social distancing and the HSE but it’s not the public who can be held to account for what’s currently happening.

wow... that's huge!

Can't see our death rate coming down any time soon. May 5th is looking like pipedream right now tbh!

'The disease is suppressed in the general population, the rate of growth in residential care is also declining.'

This day 2 weeks ago I could see a big bump coming, sun was out and people that were coming into where I work were getting complacent, this is going nowhere fast unless we as a country cop on.

It is very busy in my town today, definitely doesn’t look like we have restrictions. Garda have disappeared over the last week. This time two weeks ago they were visible every time I left the house

Strazdas · 23-04-2020 05:55PM

Fascinating to hear that the virus entered nursing homes about two weeks after it became widespread in the community

Away With The Fairies · 23-04-2020 05:55PM

I didn't catch all the news, over 900 new cases. Did they say where these cases are from? I know they are testing nursing homes but people shouldn't be thinking "ah it's just in the nursing homes".

ACitizenErased · 23-04-2020 05:56PM

'There has been no growth in the disease for about two weeks now' despite large numbers today and yesterday according to Prof. Nolan.

bennyl10 · 23-04-2020 05:57PM

So community spread is virtually zero, it’s just rampant in the nursing homes.

That really is a catch 22
One graph is great, the other..

MD1990 · 23-04-2020 05:57PM

think Holohan,Varadkher & the Guards need to now get a bit more firm now.

So much at stake lives/livelyhoods.

If people stick to the restrictions the sooner people can get back to some sort of normal.
Restrictions now wont be lifted until the start of June at the earliest.

0gac3yjefb5sv7 · 23-04-2020 05:57PM

Bit tired of hearing about rate of growth declining, we should be moving towards the rate of decrease increasing.

No chance they will keep them until June. 2km will be lifted May 5th.

I don't blame the Gardai entirely tbh. They're puppets. Someone has told them to ease up.

It shouldn't be up to them to be honest

Well it looks like there are an increasing amount of people not doing what is asked of them. While out for my daily walk today you'd be hard pushed to know that there was any sort of restrictions in place. If people are not abiding by the rules maybe the need to be reminded.

rm212 · 23-04-2020 05:58PM

I don’t fully agree with everything that Prof Nolan is saying, he said that deaths by date of occurrence are stable but they look to be slowly increasing still. A lot of the conclusions he’s making seem to based on very shallow trends, but a lot of markers are looking optimistic at least and it does look like we aren’t worsening at the very least, right now.

Mainly nursing homes. They have tested everyone in homes symptoms or not. Indicates asymptomatic cases are prevalent.

hope their not getting sick

podgeandrodge · 23-04-2020 06:00PM

What's the general consensus on the position that community growth is zero or close to it?

What are they basing this position on? Low admissions? High testing rates?

branie2 · 23-04-2020 06:00PM

May the 28 people who died rest in peace

I remember so clearly a poster saying that their friend who worked in a nursing home was heading out for pints the night before the pubs were closed and had been out on the Friday stating "he's entitled to his few pints".

Bone of contention at the time that many here were pricked off over. That's just one example.

Not yet they haven't. Good bit to go.

The model is giving a reproduction number 0.54. 95% confidence interval shows it's between 0.4 and 0.7

Mic 1972 · 23-04-2020 06:01PM

Another huge increase, I really hope they are not testing only nursing homes at this point
People are not following restrictions, some idiots even complimenting those who disregards the rules, we are walking into another peak
