"15 of today’s confirmed cases are directly or indirectly related to travel. NPHET today reiterates that all non-essential travel overseas should be avoided."

Cheers. As I said above pushing the no travel line.

No, because I am not the person flying that kite as something so terribly serious we need to stay submerged and running silent for next who knows how many years.

Insinuating something is a serious problem brings with it an onus of proof. Clearly there isn't any. Time to surface, don masks and open the hatch for some much needed fresh air.

??
There is LOTS of proof its a serious problem, have a quick visit to the Lancet site. Umpteen papers published there showing the severity of it.

Insinuating something isnt a serious problem brings with it the same onus of proof. Clearly you haven't any.

Believe me, I wish you had, I wish we knew more, I wish we could shrug it off as a cold.

It may have weakened there seems to be a less severe version at the moment and they don't know if it's viral load is easing due to lockdowns or if the bug itself has mutated into a milder form.

I really want life to return to normal, but not at ANY cost.

The way I see it, it's just a waiting game, science will catch up.
We just have to protect as many lives as we can until it does, restrictions are not forever, just for now.

GAA training suspended near Nenagh awaiting tests and no I'm not saying which club let the Journalists do what there paid to.

And 9 of the 23 are related to the one cluster

I wish Glynn had been able to give more data on that one because he said that cluster was also linked to travel and domestic cases. It sounded like people coming in from abroad, be they Irish nationals or foreign nationals, and then went and hung out with their buddies here. It potentially a textbook example of why the bullsh*t form filling on arrival here isn't doing anything.

Yeah there was little information, all he would say was that it wasn't linked to any pubs or restaurants

We are back to very small numbers and they have tended not to give out very many details on privacy grounds in such situations. They are using the data to get two messages across, don't travel and you young 'uns cop on to yourselves!

Once we see county data today we’ll know where it is. I’m thinking Cork based on news reports and word around here.

A 'mild' case, didn't need hospitalization, Author Patricia Lockwood is 38...

The first wave subsided, and I thought I’d escaped, but the second hit with redoubled intensity a week later. My delusions became even more bizarre. I came to believe that someone ‘had put a Godzilla statue outside my window on purpose to freak me out’ – this, it transpired, was the silhouette of two black streetlights, one superimposed on the other. I spent two weeks adding 143 words to my novel, about peeing next to Rob Roy’s grave, feeling further from coherence with every draft. Local news graphics of the virion floated through the air, along with glimpses of originating animals: overlapping scales and flickering tongues, wings like black maple leaves. All this happened, it should be said, with a fever that never went higher than 100°F.

I have never been a straightforward reader, preferring to linger inside the cupboards of those paragraphs that describe Aunt March’s turquoise rings. Yet all of a sudden I wanted to read a book from cover to cover and be able to say what it was about. What is this about, I thought, what are books about? I read crazily, as if I were a train and the last page was Anna Karenina. I broke down crying one afternoon over Mani, knowing that if I were to take a test on the book after I finished, my page would read simply, ‘He ... went ... to ... Greece?’ (And to be honest, even the Greece part I’m not sure about.)

I've spoken to the man a few times through GAA and other stuff because we're local and he's always been a bluffer. Some things never change. Embarrassing us in Cork ffs.

Doesn’t excuse that fact that those 15 cases could’ve easily been avoided if the advice was followed

I'm not excusing this situation any more than assuming we'll eradicate the virus. What will be crucial is the management and isolation of outbreaks.

Couldn't make it up, shouts and roars in opposition and then hides when he gets the top job
