Thanks what does that mean?

That two suspected COVID deaths were other causes.

So is the rise in cases not a bit of a red herring in itself?

Like if we consider covid is evenly distributed through the population...

If we did 5,000 samples last week and got 15 cases, it is surely obvious that if we do 10,000 tests this week we would get 30 cases, thus no change in the spread of this disease!?

If you ask Donald Trump....

Another way of looking at it is that more people are presenting for tests and there is genuinely more cases - eg 50 people went to a house party, all 50 go for a test and x% of them are positive.

Yes, it's nearly all Irish people infecting other Irish people in Ireland.....that's why the authorities are much concerned with what is actually happening here, not abroad.

Yeah, they know where the cases are and they just don't want any more clusters to have to manage.

Seems to be a group actively refusing to wear masks to protect their personal rights to choose, human rights etc. They’re taking a stand against the system to make their point and causing public transport to be held up. It’s disturbing the unbelievably selfish childish mindset some people have.

No being selfish is not controlling or borders, publishing a green list Monday that requires no quarantine on return. It's for a love of summer holidays not people.

The numbers we are seeing in themselves are no cause for concern but we are in a established path going in the wrong direction

I know my Dublin friends will hate that I say this but based on the past few days I'm thinking this is a Leinster problem....

Your going to get lambasted for that one but your correct and right.

Would that be due to it being a younger demographic getting infected?

Or are they catching more people without symptoms now

I notice no outrage from the pubs being kept closed this evening?

Hmmmmmmm.

Going to the pub later, have to travel a few km but no food required and you can sit at the bar. God bless country living.

I wonder are they expecting case numbers around that number over next few weeks with the comment about ''seeding'' last night. Or they have to wait and see and weren't confident going to phase 4 until saw what case number were like over next few weeks

One assumes they have some modelling guided by trends in other countries as well as leading indicators (like tests requested) to indicate its gonna go up next week based on what we did last week and this and whether it comes back down is based on what we do this week and next. So trying to warn the public to take it seriously before it’s serious looking.

There’s real inertia with this stuff, it’s more like trying to steer a ferry than a race car.

Schools closed at 43 in total, now 99 per day is acceptable, the mind boggles.

Difference is community transmission

On no 34 cases, end of the world!

No one said it was the end of the world.

Strange you would say that.

But there was outrage on here yesterday that the pubs were being kept closed.

Pretty much crickets this evening.

Maybe NPHET aren't involved in a wide conspiracy of fear mongering to keep me out of my local.

Just a thought.
