    I have seen them, fair play

    I think the average user on Reddit Ireland would be under 30 (generally speaking). Wheras here, on average, a Boardsie in this thread would be over 30 (again, not all, but in general)

    So you'll get two very different kind of posters in many Covid threads on Reddit Ireland and Boards

    Fvck me that’s controversial........

    10% are people traveling (back) into the country.

    20% relates to those people and the ones they infect.

    Who knows but depending on availability imagine it would be at risk groups first and then gen pop.

    Varadkar has in the past week:

    - Fired shots at those who tried to turn death rates into a nations league table and derived "perverse pleasure" from it in order to have a go at the government
    -He said that the incidence at the moment shouldn't be cause for Phase 4 deferral
    - He said international travel to green listed country is akin to a weekend in Killarney or Dublin

    As a direct contradiction of those points he has also in the past week:
    -Mentioned how the slight increase is no cause for alarm as we are ranked 8/31 for incidence per 100k in Europe (a nations league if you will)
    -Told us we may not even move to Phase 4 in 3.5 weeks time
    -Also promoted a message of essential travel only, holiday at home

    There were 6 Fine Gael ministers with a vote at cabinet yesterday. If you don't agree with the outcome, don't forget that fact.

    Haha, that it was.
    In that case there was nothing we could do.
    In this case I feel the same.
    The french FA wins based on advertising revenue.
    We might get something in the enquires.

    House party cluster in Co. Derry. Mobile testing unit set up in the town to prevent spread.
    https://www.rte.ie/news/ulster/2020/0716/1153799-derry-covid-cluster/

    "Social gatherings in private residences have been an issue on both sides of the border."

    I dunno, sorta glad they are having it in their houses, at least they aren't going to my local. Hopefully they will contain it to the people responsible. I get the feeling that people having house parties seem to take more risks than those of us under the watchful eye of some form of oversight i.e. the publican having to impose distancing.

    Does that include historic antibody test numbers or just the live PCR test numbers from the past 24 hours?

    I was going to post this in the R0 or Second Wave thread, but maybe the main thread is best

    Seen on Reddit Ireland, again from Laura. Her background is in a Science lab/something medical if I'm remembering right. She's been very on the ball with a lot of things upto now
    If we don't lower our reproductive number, we will have hundreds of cases daily within a few weeks

    This must've been the debate you mentioned Citizen?

    When I heard the R0 number earlier I got quite worried. I'm hoping you're right and she's wrong

    Allows for two messages. Last week was all travel. This week it is house parties. Next week it will be BBQs and people meeting in toilets.

    Worldmeters shows 1,361 new cases, so I guess that means the antibody numbers weren't included in that lower figure.

    Here's the breakdown by region. 2 regions, one of which is under lockdown reporting the majority of cases.

    She's right in a sense (if it's 1.2 we won't see cases in the 100s) but she refuses to take into account that the current r-number has been heavily influenced by the recent clusters.

    I predict lower daily cases and a lower R this day next week.

    Its totally obvious that anywhere groups open up in enclosed spaces the virus spreads, Schools, pups, nightclubs, planes. What is the problem with understanding if you dont want the virus to spread you cant do these things?????????????????????

    Well thats no bother the virus will spread. Go to Spain allow people into the country from USA. Open pubs and carry on as normal and a lockdown will happen again.
