Virgin asking the stupid questions.

A slight increase in cases, but nothing to be alarmed about as yet.

Doesn't apply to Ireland.

Either way our own one here its law to fill in the form, after that who's going to enforce it. Someone gets a call are you isolating, yeah I am, that's grand...

3 months too late anyway and lasts until middle of June around the same time as most other EU countries relax border control.

Should do what they do in Singapore, they give you 'phone when you land.

Then when arrive at your isolation address, you 'phone them and they instruct you what areas to video stream to them.

Then they 'phone you randomly a number of times a day and tell you what to stream to prove that all of you are at isolation location.

If you don't want to sign GDPR wavier, that's OK, but then you stay at State provided isolation hostel at your own expense.

Of course it's all automated there.

By the sounds of the meat industry numbers a lot of them could be coming from there.

The mandatory isolation is not a problem.
Weather the Garda check or not,it down to trace ability the Garda would only need to assure that you would be staying at the address.
The problem up to know was some passengers we're not providing details when arriving now they can be traced.

But if you’re not isolating there’s nothing they can do or say as it isn’t mandatory

lbj666 · 22-05-2020 06:17PM

Here we, 1 off trend high or low day and the thread lights up. Regression of 5-7 day averages is slowly though. Hoping wed be into the low double digits before the relaxing shows its effect.

Maybe electronically tag everyone coming into the country like they do with some prisoners on release, an send in the ARU if the signal is lost due to any tampering or the tagged person leaves the quarantine zone...?

Its probably these cases in Fermoy apparently being added there was supposed to have been 122 meat workers at the factory infected.

I’m sure that would go down well. You’ve people already complaining about police state etc. because they were told to sit on the sofa for a few weeks.

No need to panic!!

until next week

ACitizenErased · 22-05-2020 06:21PM

I think the fact it's an increase of 40 on yesterday suggests some sort of backlog/meat plant increase. They've been fairly confident about the virus being extinguished in the community.

Stick a bell around their neck so you can hear them coming and run away as necessary.

Azatadine · 22-05-2020 06:23PM

I do think the likes of Ivan Yates are responsible for sone people not adhering to good practices around Covid. He peddles his agenda to get rid of restrictions and that coronavirus has been extinguished.

Think the other fella said 37 of today's cases related to meat plants. Tony said they all relate to known clusters.

I didn't catch that, did he definitely say this?

I've spoken to people in Australia today, Covid is on the way out there bigtime. Restaurants are reopening and things are returning to normal. Where is the 2nd wave? They're going into their winter...

There were still a large number of staff from nursing homes and residential care centres being tested too so this increase may be just a combination of some positive cases there too as well as the factory clusters.

Increased testing due to widening of criteria as well. I'm hoping that's all we are seeing here.

As they've extinguished transfer within the community, and supermarkets were open all along, what are people's thoughts on why masks would now be recommended going into a shop? Same amount of shoppers in supermarkets regardless of restriction phases?

Not being anti mask here, just that CDC now saying it's reasonably unlikely to catch virus from surfaces, and people have not been transferring it to each other in supermarkets or we would surely know about it. And if asymptomatic transmission is going on (and if the CMO is incorrect) surely hospital cases would be a lot more.

22-05-2020 06:28PM

We are never going to move on if people react to day to day changes, spikes, and maybe longer term increases with panic and talk of 2nd waves. This is here to stay and we will always have deaths and infections moving up and down, some time sharply, until we stop measuring it

A little premature casting such aspersions.

The new travel restrictions are both a disgrace and a complete joke. We're going backwards while the rest of Europe is moving forwards. Half the people flying into the Republic will say they're on their way to the North to avoid this Draconian idiotic measure.

But it's not as draconian as it sounds. All of the legal emphasis in Ireland is on filling out the airport form - Simon Harris said that the self isolation part is not strictly mandatory.

It's the UK that is going down the quarantine route and threatening anyone who doesn't follow it with big fines etc.

Apparently the number of meat plant inspections carried out by the HSA is now being treated as a State Secret.

This is completely farcical.

They’ve missed an opportunity to offer people a test (at their own expense) to see if they’re Infected upon arrival at the airport. Self isolate for the 2-3 days until your result comes through and venture out then if you eager a negative result. Far more palatable to isolate for 3 days than 14. Would also mean people travelling for business purposes wouldn’t be as massively put out.
