    How did a cluster start at a construction site in Dublin?

    Isn't construction work considered safe because it's outdoor work?

    Or does anyone know anything about the construction work going on, is the work almost finished and not outdoor work?

    Or could infection be picked up from those portable toilets found on construction sites?

    The news story said the site was for apartments and a hotel. I imagine whilst some of it would be outdoors a decent amount of the work would be either indoors or at the least covered/sheltered.

    Weekend lag. Tuesday is always the main day.
    Rumor mill says that the first person that tested positive was a close contact of a know cluster and didn't self isolate or have a test when originally contacted
    I know it's rumour mill, but we also know that the number of people who decline a test is depressingly large.

    I'm not advocating mandatory testing of contacts, but there has to be some form of incentive for this, some way that not getting tested is more hassle than just going.

    0 deaths again today.

    6 new cases.

    Obviously the old adage of never getting excited by one days figures is true but it's kinda hard not to. That's great to see. Hopefully, it stays at a low level.

    Cases: Sunday - 10, Monday - 6
    Positive tests Sunday/Monday - 44

    What do we reckon, 28 positive retests? Reporting delay? Backlog to be revealed tomorrow?

    Think I might give up on the daily figures and only start watching the 7 day average at the end of the week. These daily stats are just too all over the place.

    How many times does it have to be said that we don't have a weekend lag? There were nearly 9000 tests conducted yesterday.

    Why is it that Monday's figures always come out low compared to other days?

    It was mentioned here before, but can't recall.

    I wouldn't even take notice of positive tests tbh, they might be the ones they missed out on last week just being added to the counter.

    Yeah the weekly average seems to be a better indicator.

    The Green Zone announcement is an utter irrelevance IMO. The advice will still be to not travel, even to a Green Zone, so makes no difference to travel insurance (for those that care about travel insurance). And anyone who is planning on going to the UK or France or Spain is not going to change their plans based on whether or not those countries are on a Green List, given that there is only a pretty soft 'restriction of movement' requirement upon return.

    It might make a difference if the Green List is accompanied by a change in the rules about quarantine upon return from a country not on it, but otherwise seems like a waste of time for everyone involved

    The change would be that you don't have to self isolate when you return from a Green List country?

    Source code of Covid Tracker Ireland app goes global with Linux project - https://www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/covid-tracker-ireland-app-source-code-glinux-project

    I had been expecting the worst and was presently surprised with the App, so credit where credit is due!

    Zara King looks depressed reading out only 6 cases and going on about a weekend lag and how most people expect a 2nd wave FFS.

    Good stuff but it's Monday! Seeming more like we've had a case of the German R0 spike.

    Yes, my point is that an unenforced requirement for restriction of movement (which explicitly allows for outdoor exercise and shopping anyway) is not enough of a deterrent to make any difference between the two lists. Perhaps the announcement will be accompanied by a tightening of the rules for arrivals from non green list countries

    23, 11

    He is fully open. He has a video on twitter. Lads are in there drinking away. Looks better set up than the couple of gastro pubs I was in tbh. Can't see any difference.

    Paul construction work a buddy system on most of there site's.
    Same group work together, travel together lunch break together.
    So if one is infected it should only spread in the buddy group.
    Nothing to do with poralaloos.
    Rumor mill says that the first person that tested positive was a close contact of a know cluster and didn't self isolate or have a test when originally contacted

    Why is anyone refusing a test and not self isolating, there should be punishment for this :mad:
