    Hmmm what is that supposed to mean - possibly not new infections, just ones we're finding thru testing

    This suggests then that the nightly figures aren't being broken down into acute beds and that the headline figure covers both ICU and acute beds as was suggested last night

    It means people testing positive this week picked up the virus last week, and that we can suppress it even more, which I highly doubt unless we shut everything down forever.

    Peak of infection we were at 200 per 100k (and we were barely testing anyone!)
    Now at 3.91 - we're doomed

    I think I might have missed Dr Ronan Glynn saying the cases per 100,000. Anyone know what is it for the last week?

    The line graph showing the overall picture is noticeably on the way back up. Quite telling. It won't be as steep as the first wave but telling all the same.

    R0 best guess is 1.4

    1.8 was the only real figure yesterday for headline news and fearmongering

    Did Professor Nolan say that 1 in 5.are either directly or indirectly associated with travel ?

    I'm not a big fan of how they're putting all the burden on most of the population when travel inwards is still a massive issue

    In all fairness if that R is based on the last number of days rather than a snapshot of a day or two I can see why there's some concern. 1.4 is a pretty big increase from the previous estimates.

    Shows its pointless referring to it at this stage
    Yesterday it was 1.2 to 1.8 - everyone only talking about 1.8
    Today best guess is it's 1.4
    World of difference

    Next week it could be 0.5

    I’ve seen the numbers reported that way by journalists but the hse operations report doesn’t line up. Example, there is someone in ICU in mercy but the acute bed graph has none shown. Same last week, Tallaght showed none in general beds but one in ICU.

    I don't think they will have the support of the public for a new 2km restriction again with our airports wide open. I certainly wouldn't be happy being stopped and questioned about my movements at a checkpoint when thousands of people are arriving in to the country each day with the vast majority unchecked as to their health or future movements.
