    The US death rates are suspiciously low. Here's why:
    - Indiana: 1,832 COVID-19 deaths; 2,149 pneumonia deaths (five-year average: 384)
    - Illinois: 4,856 COVID-19 deaths; 3,986 pneumonia deaths (five-year average: 782)
    - Tennessee: 336 COVID-19 deaths; 1,704 pneumonia deaths (five-year average: 611)
    - Ohio: 1,969 COVID-19 deaths; 2,327 pneumonia deaths (five-year average: 820)
    - Virginia: 1,208 COVID-19 deaths; 1,394 pneumonia deaths (five-year average: 451)
    - West Virginia: 72 COVID-19 deaths; 438 pneumonia deaths (five-year average: 117)

    I see that a regular poster from the **** the restrictions camp has stated precisely that comment on the Relaxation of Restrictions thread this evening.

    The same has happened in Dubai following video footage of huge crowds at pool parties going viral

    https://gulfbusiness.com/dubai-bars-and-pubs-ordered-to-stop-serving-alcohol-until-further-notice/

    You do wonder, with all the pent up social energy that people have, how it's not going to start fresh clusters in Ireland when the pubs are back open

    well if clusters appear, they will have to address them, but hopefully in a targeted way. Hopefully they can contain local spikes/clusters through contact tracing at this stage.

    I intend going to the pub for a meal (;)) on Monday. I expect there will be increased cases, but that's the reality of leaving lockdown. We can't stay locked down fully to keep this low a transmission indefinitely.

    You should calm down, man. You can't police what people do. We are in a good position and will continue to be so, despite your constant pessimism.

    You couldn’t make it up......news report on RTÉ now about a woman who was rescued by four Gardaí after her dog pulled her into a river.
    They just showed her hugging each garda.
    Under normal circumstances it would be lovely but given how they have been hammering on about social distancing it seems completely irresponsible!

    That was funny alright .
    But he was still nearly 1.5 m taller than her so will probably be ok 🙂

    That's just warming Dubliners up...it's inevitable there going back into lockdown once all the travelling abroad starts. They can't cry this time and expect everyone else to be in lockdown with them.
    Aren't most of our new cases imports now with the majority in Dublin?

    Might be Cork too ?

    With the Government change this week, does his role stay the same going forward? I'm guessing so, as he chairs NIPHET and isn't aligned with any one Party
    He's the CMO, a public servant and he'll stay. NPHET is not permanent and it is formed and dissolved by the MoH as required.

    Yes let’s destabilise society and start attacking a family of tourists from the U.K...
    It’s up to the authorities to do testing & contact tracing of those arrivals. They’ve gotten through the border checks and they will be phoned this week & checked up on I think?
    A few weeks back, I did hear Michael O’Leary at one point offering to do the contact tracing side for the government for inbound arrivals - getting passengers to provide their details to Ryanair or upon checking in or something similar. He said Irish authorities could have the contact tracing information urgently needed within an hour...I think it’s a very good idea.

    Very good of him .

    I don't think not washing your hands is a good thing, but I don't take what one poster says as being something which is widespread or as something which is going to cause an upsurge in infections.
    You have been predicting upsurges for all sorts of reasons for the last 2/3 months and everything you have said has been wrong.

    Maybe at some point you should just admit you are wrong.

    Well it's common sense to believe that if you are letting people into the country that a fair number are going to be out and about with no cares about anything. Those people could start to spread covid-19.

    It's not a good thing to believe or think that people other than you are bad.

    Just checked my timeline on Facebook there and there's pics of hundreds (collectively) of people outside famous Dublin pubs like Grogans

    Apparently they're selling customers cans and craft beers? :confused:

    The people are then gathering in fairly big numbers outside the bars but not inside. Are the bars using legal loopholes to do this?

    There's that and the scenes from St Stephens' Green yesterday https://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/hfrjwa/stephans_green_right_now/

    Speaking the obvious, but I do feel though that this kind of thing is far, far safer outdoors than in. There were 2,000 people on a protest march in Dublin some weeks ago and it didn't lead to a fresh spike

    I'm sorry but Corkboy has been so blatantly wrong on so many occasions already that people should stop listening to everything he says. he is literally the most wrongest poster on Boards.

    Here are a few of his completely wrong predictions from the past 2 months, some of them as recent as 2 weeks ago.

    If they dont get this right we will see a second wave of infections, another peak and we'll all be under lockdown again, so its up to people not to take the pi$$.
    There will be no sporting events taking place until the autumn at the earliest and even then only behind closed doors.

    Why is that? Are you setting up a shebeen in your back garden or something? Because you certainly won`t be getting one in any pub anywhere on the 5th May or any other time in the foreseeable future. Not legally anyway.

    The numbers are under a 100 a day now, they need to move into phase 2 this weekend.


    Need to relax two meters to 1 meter.


    I was all for lockdown and did what it meant to do, but now time to move on


    Sorry to burst your bubble but you need to accept there is no prospect whatsoever of any more restrictions being lifted this weekend. This will not even be discussed by the current cabinet until the end of next week and no set in stone guarantee that the next phase will be implemented on 8th June either.

    The numbers are under a 100 a day now, they need to move into phase 2 this weekend.


    Need to relax two meters to 1 meter.


    I was all for lockdown and did what it meant to do, but now time to move on


    Sorry to burst your bubble but you need to accept there is no prospect whatsoever of any more restrictions being lifted this weekend. This will not even be discussed by the current cabinet until the end of next week and no set in stone guarantee that the next phase will be implemented on 8th June either.

    Norman weren't you a week or two ago saying the virus clearly dies out naturally on it's own no matter what kind of government intervention /response before multiple countries and regions experienced second waves in proceeding days. I don't think you should be the one throwing accusations of wrongness either..

    Maybe if the people had rioted, set fire to stuff, and called for death to white people there would be no ‘major incident’, the police would take the knee, and the media would treat them as heroes.

    FFS . I see this nonsense has infected this thread now.

    Racism is now hiding behind the cloak of Community activism.

    Point it out and I will either defend my point or admit I was wrong.

    Why is it a disgrace?
    I have simply pointed out that almost all of his predictions have been proven to be completely wrong.
    I have given factual and historical evidence.
    Feel free yourself to point out all the times he was right if you want to prove a counter argument.

    The most amount of patients in general hosptial beds is 3 in any hosptial, absolutely fantastic, continued decline over the last month.

    Fingers crossed next week it'll be below 10 at some point.

    St Vincents added to the list of hospitals with 0 cases in general beds and 0 in ICU. A major hospital covid free

    It's great we have been doing well overall with this pandemic, although I think big mistakes were made regarding the nursing home situation, and our healthcare workers too.

    Back in February or so, I had predicted 10k lost lives in Ireland, and 10M globally, by the time the pandemic is over.

    I still think that that trajectory is possible, as we are only still in the early grip of this pandemic, but I'm happy to see this country plateau at a very low level of infection.

    Most of the bad effects are seen in the long tail, as we an see in certain other countries right now.
