I'm absolutely heartbroken to hear of American tourists coming here at the moment.
We have spent months not seeing our friends, family, many of us have lost jobs etc etc. Not to mention the loss of life and the illness those who have survived have experienced.
The virus also put many of our health care workers to the pin of their collar.
I of course have nothing against Americans, I have family on both sides living there whom I love dearly but when American is so hot with the virus at the minute, it's absolutely playing roulette not prohibiting non cargo flights from there into Ireland at the minute.

Are there flights coming into the country from the US?

Yes, Dublin later this morning from Dallas.
Texas broke the record for the most cases in a day the other day.
Are we ever going to learn ? :rolleyes:

Coming weeks? In Dingle today, pis*ing down rain, shopping places packed, very few wearing masks or socially distancing, and lots of US accents. AFAIK one family member can do the shopping, but the shops had full families. No masks of course. 14 day isolation me hole.

Back to 310 today - given yesterday was the first change in 17 days, this suggests it was quickly found to be a false positive.

Unlikely it will be a once-off.

Influx of people from the cities, UK and US in the coming weeks along with the re-opening of many businesses means its inevitable there will be an increase in cases.

Up to date with the county figures now, and Kerry remains on 310 since the 20th.

No sign of that positive case being reported yet?

Apparently, if the person being treated isn't from Kerry, it shows up in other counties' cases, so if it doesn't appear today, that'll probably be why.

All I know is that the Kerry total is now 310 which is two up from a few days ago.
Of course that could be wrong ?

It would be very odd if two cases, that were due to be added to our total within 48 hours, suddenly migrated to Cork or Limerick, while two random undetected cases appeared, so seems almost impossible.

That's what I thought. I don't know where people get their information from!

I see people commenting on facebook saying those 2 cases added on two separate days were totally new cases, and that the others were transferred to another county so on their list. Is this true or are they getting confused? I understood it as they were just 2 cases, yet added later.

An Ciarraioch

No cases of any description now in UHK, so back to where we were on Tuesday night.

An Ciarraioch

And now no longer any confirmed cases in UHK, still two suspect, but tonight's total will remain at 310, at least.

An Ciarraioch

Second case has shown up in today's stats, so hopefully that'll be it for now, although there are three "suspected cases" in UHK.

An Ciarraioch

Dashboard refreshed for today - only one new case officially recorded for Kerry, so maybe the other one was declassified.

So would Tralee urban be the town itself? if so then it looks like only 18 cases in Tralee urban. What would they consider Tralee urban as if Fenit, Blennerville, Ardfert are individual?

It would be the old Tralee Urban division so literally only as far as the Grotto to the East.

PS I found a map - just enlarge it.

Rambo, I can tell you without fear of contradiction that there has been a glut of people from Dublin and also from Cork that have no connection with Kerry other than the fact they built or purchased holiday homes here that have been visiting and staying here during the lock down.

It's interesting to see that even though a glut of Cork and Dublin folk arrived and stayed in holiday homes in Kerry the county managed to maintain one of the lowest & admirable rates of infection. If there's a second wave maybe, based on this valuable information, people will be encouraged to move to their more isolated holiday homes to cocoon and ease services, shop congestion & infection in the cities.

This appears to be new - confirmed cases by electoral division, so will tell you the number of cases for Fenit, Blennerville, Ardfert etc individually, but Tralee only given as Urban and Rural:

Must be very mild cases in UHK - one of the two has already recovered, according to this morning's HSE daily update.

One of the cases may be a reinfection

County dashboard has just updated for today, so must be tomorrow before the new cases will enter the system.

What worries me if that some don't actually care :mad::rolleyes:

Ciarrai76 wrote: »

I guess the worry I would have is how many people did they come into contact with before they went to hospital!? Hopefully it isn't spreading around again.

Good to hear one has recovered though.

Was told this morning that there are in fact three new cases in Kerry although I have no way of proving or disproving that information but the source seems reliable.

EDIT Confirmed from a different source Ballybunion.
