Ah lads we're nearly four months down the road since this strted and people still talking about a "Sunday effect".

Labs, testing and reporting takes place seven days a week there is no lag just because it's the weekend.

And good to see Gov.ie have updated their statements to add changes in that data, rather than requiring the reader to trawl back a day:

The transmission stats in the above - is that a cumulative total from all cases? Not very useful if so. A 14 day average or something similar would be more informative.

I think in general people would appreciate more stats on where the spread is occurring. I'm sure they must have stats like these in their internal metrics, it would be educational for the public also.

The transmission stats are incredibly unreliable, they jump up and down in hundreds or so (based on the percentages) every few days.

Distribution of laboratory confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the EU/EEA and the UK, as of 19 July 2020



The 'weekend effect' is very obvious in the 7 day sawtooth pattern of daily reported cases in Europe, as it has been seen since the pandemic started.

Maybe things are different in Ireland.

“Americans from 26 states — more than half of the country — should not be traveling right now, according to the Harvard Global Health Institute’s risk-assessment map…

According to the USA CDC guidelines, you should reconsider traveling if COVID-19 is spreading where you live. “Even if you don’t have symptoms, you can spread COVID-19 to others while traveling,” says the CDC’s travel page.”

Their own CDC says they should not travel… but guess which country in Europe accepts them with open arms !

And just look at their figures plus their rate of increase and compare them to our 4.9 !



Everyone of the yanks, who ignore our 14 day self isolation rule, is playing russian roulette with our country's bio security.

We appear to have been lucky so far, but very few russian roulette players have a long lifespan.
