Great to have another day without a death reported.

Highest daily case number since mid June. 7 day average is 20 cases a day which is still very decent when you consider the amount of testing done.

We should go back to 2,000 tests per day, bring posivites down to about a dozen. Donald is right, we Need less testing.

I think the big frustation is that many of the cases are travel related.

US citizens even if Irish should be blocked from entering Ireland. It is rampant out there.

That said 30 cases is fine. It is just concerning it may keep rising.

Travel-related cases come from quite a range of countries, and they account for 12% of cases. Eejits at house parties here, account for a lot more.

I'm not a fan of our way of reporting case figures tbh. Makes it incredibly easy to skew the numbers.

One big difference is Donald didn't contain the virus like Ireland have done.

Where is the Country breakdown of cases today

If you mean county:

ACitizenErased wrote: »

Analysis of cases as of midnight Sunday 12th July - 25,638 cases (+11)

Healthcare Workers +9
Clusters -2
Cases associated with clusters +38

Age Range Affected
0-4 No Change
5-14 No Change
15-24 +2
25-34 +3
35-44 No Change
45-54 +2
55-64 +2
65-74 +1

85+ No Change

Cases by County
Cork +2
Dublin +4
Kerry +3
Kildare +1
Wicklow +1

Citizen has covered Sundays figures there. Today's county data will be released on Thursday.

If you did mean countries, as in for travel related cases, they don't update that daily. Monday at the brief they gave figures from the start of June.. Might be a feature of the Monday presser going forward but don't expect more up to the minute specificity from them I'd say!

You were happy enough with it when the figures were trending downwards.

Are the community transmission/not cluster related/"we haven't a clue where they got it" figures published somewhere?

After 11 yesterday and additional 40 odd cases added over the wekeend that never added up to the numbers announced im going to go out on the limb here and suggest something just isn't right with reporting. Case data gave 40 odd extra on Saturday I think but we never announced that many.

But this gives them the ammo to push out phase 4 even though it shouldn't. The headlines will be 32 cases but the reporting is off somewhere.

I wonder if they are trying to avoid announcing a large number of cases at once and instead they are breaking it down to announce a large number of cases over a few days and in smaller figures.

Whatever is happening, its still a large jump today. They need to give us history behind these cases. If it's community transmissions or travel cases or holiday cases or healthcare cases or cases from parties.

UK related.
June death figures are lowest over the past 5 years.
Incidents of pneumonia and flu are statistically the same as other years. This would question how effective lockdowns are.

Your logic doesn't hold. Lockdown led to suppression.

You want to explain why we're backlogging figures when there was 15 positive tests last 24 hours? Or are you just gonna respond like that

Ireland's COVID19 Data Hub
Positive tests yesterday was 28845, it is now 28860 - I keep track of this figure daily.

Mehole needs to concentrate on Covid and travel crisis instead of Cowengate

I wonder if all that stuff about Barry cowen was to diffuse the COVID situation and travel and quarantine. Try and get the public to focus on something else away from covid. I couldn't give a rats fcuking arse about Barry cowen and what he got up to a few years ago.

The biggest threat we have today in this country is the virus and the fall out from the virus.

Utopia Parkway · 14-07-2020 05:09PM

Positivity rate of tests is 0.3%.

Please tell us you're being facetious .

Just listening to Rte 6 one news. Mary Lou calling for full disclosure from Cowen. Suddenly SF have found their voice after months of silence. Thank Christ they weren't in power for this crisis.

Interesting but not a surprise. In Ireland we counted all deaths, in all settings, suspected cases even when no lab test was done, and included people with underlying terminal illnesses who died with Covid but not of it.

The government could tell you nobody died of covid and you wouldn't believe them.

When you look at Denmark who have been widely praised for their handling of the pandemic they are still getting daily new cases of 46, 10, 12, 16, 30, 91, 24 over the last week or so. And they reopened back in mid May.

It would suggest that the Irish numbers are not unusual.

I dont know why but there seems to be a feeling around that we would contually stay below 10 per day and some think we could have got to 0. I dont see how either are or were feasible.

People have to get used to seeing case numbers fluctuate. Countries that have reopened like Denmark as you've mentioned are open over 2 months and have a level of cases where there isn't a spike, it just a continually reporting of cases

Correct, as my neighbour died of it, as did a friend of my daughter.

Not sure what your point is.

stephenjmcd · 14-07-2020 05:16PM

157 postives out of that many tests. Massive amount of testing taking place in the last week.

Has she installed the Covid tracing app yet? Could all SF reps be asked if they have? Because she was asked this morning and hadn't.
