Would I be right in saying Dame Lane figures could be turning up now?

You'd imagine they would by now if that gathering resulted in extra cases.

My father is booked in for an operation the end of the month (public system).

He is isolating for the two weeks before it. Desperate to have it as it was cancelled the day the hospitals shut up at the start of this.

Will he be tested before the operation and get result the same day before it goes ahead?

The letter from the hospital doesn’t say.

In fairness all FG have to do is sit back. Even though they're in government with them FF will be the focus with potential second wave, job losses, delaying of phases etc. Martin was always going to be Taoiseach first but works out well for FG.

Given they've been on 13-14% in recent polls, will be hard for them to go much lower! :P

But it's still the case that if a pub serving no food kept the same social distancing implementation as a pub serving food, there is no difference in terms of risk.

Absolutely. I guess the argument is that all pubs might not adhere or be able to adhere to the guidelines. But then again not all restaurants will either.

I think hospital testing is quicker so I would assume all in a day

I hope all goes well for your father

Private hospital takes 2 days so i would imagine much the same in public.

Thanks.

I assume so there a chance so he will be called in a day or two before to take a test.

Surprised it is not called out in the letter they sent with the booking.

Its 2 days before operation for COVID test.
Result back next day and once all clear operation proceeds as planned.

Friend is having C-section on Monday. Tested today, with result tomorrow evening.

We should have spent the last few months building a wall around Dublin, we would be practically New Zealand then.

A Poll?

About as useful as a chocolate kettle.

The government are not going anywhere anytime soon.

SF are exactly where they want to be, big numbers in opposition with hardship on the horizon. They ain't going nowhere either.

Hopefully this won't be the case but what will they do if the test is positive? Its not like a c section can be postponed for a few weeks. Extra precautions I suppose?

Erm

That's not really how capital cities work

Itssoeasy · 18-07-2020 08:03PM

I decided to read the replies to Richard chambers of virgin media news tweet the deaths and cases from today(I like Richard chambers btw) but some of the comments would worry you. Apparently the second wave is going to hit and hit hard. New Zealand is mentioned compared to us but I'm sorry but New Zealand can't be compared to us for one main reason which is it's geographical position in the world. Put New Zealand where we are I doubt they'd have done as well as they did. It was said they dodged a bullet and I'm happy they have but they had advantages we don't. I know my first mistake was reading the replies but the majority seemed to want to virus to spike again and apparnently the government have decided to "live with the virus" which is what most countries are doing.

Mwengwe · 18-07-2020 08:06PM

I wish people would stop going on about the 'second wave' tbh, it's just a meaningless buzzword at this point.

We are nowhere near a second wave at the moment and it would take a week or three of utter negligence to get us there

Ah. No. It's actually a real thing.

Which is happening in various places around the world and will more than likely happen here.

It's questionable that a Spanish-flu-like second wave has taken place anywhere just yet. Numbers have gone back up in places but that's not the same thing.

Willing to be pointed to info to show otherwise. Maybe America, but that just looks to me like it's all part of the first wave.

Yeah, I think so. Probably isolated operating theatre and ward for this eventuality.
Plenty of children born over last 5 months for this to happen plenty of times.

I agree. Also all tax income should be allocated on where it is generated......
Just to be fair like.

Also hospital places, university places and jobs should be prioritised for Dublin Citizens.

Sarcasm. We are all in this together.

This isn't the Spanish Flu of 1918. 2nd wave came in the Autumn and the 3rd wave in the following Winter. We had quarter the population back then and no mass air travel. We also had no real effective treatments.

In terms of this virus per country, waves are when you see sustained high numbers, followed by low numbers, followed by high numbers.

GDP per person in Dublin?

Take out the multinationals over inflating it and what is it?

It’s a good idea though, most of the google and Facebook employees are working from now and are probably back in portlaoise Now, and most of the rest of our major employers are outside the M50. The capital is a drain on the rest of the country at this stage, cut them loose.

To snooze or not snooze in the Dail

Is it true the Dail pub is open?

Probably could in some cases. I’m expecting and because number 1 was natural and no. 2 was a section I have the choice. Usually an elective section is at 39 weeks so I’m assume if I tested Positive for Covid they could just say hang on. You can go up to 42 weeks in the NMH. I assume the risk the mother / baby / staff of a covid positive section would be weighed up against the risk of waiting.
Interesting though, I never thought about being tested for the section
