It's classic PR. People have been saying that the supermarkets have been safe, so why wear masks in the supermarket. So push the supermarket angle.

Or, maybe they are just doing their job as best they can honestly reporting the facts as they find them.

The way I'd see it, is that during the stay at home period with the tight restrictions. Most people were only really in their own homes outside of the supermarket. They left their house and went to the shop. And then back. And social distancing was a bit more adhered to with the queues outside.

Now you have people in supermarkets that are back at work, on public transport, in friends houses, in restaurants or pubs, gyms, cinemas, have been out of the country travelling etc to name a few. So there is more of a chance that someone with it could be strolling around a supermarket now despite the lower cases. There are simply more places a person can be now to catch it. Doesn't mean they are more likely to catch it though. Just more potential exposure to it.

Apparently today there were 6 new cases and no deaths from Covid in the South.

But they also said there have been 20 new cases from a construction site (now shut temporarily) today.

Are those old cases or what?

How does that match up with only 6 new cases?

ACitizenErased · 20-07-2020 07:47PM

The 20 cases were registered last Thursday/Friday, explaining why we had 34 one of those days. Dublin was +25 on that day.

Add in compound interest and you'd have actuarial science nailed.

Don’t think RTÉ needed to send a push notification about the cluster in Dublin.

NIMAN · 20-07-2020 08:00PM

Did I pick up the news wrong last week, I thought every shopper in an Irish retail outlet today had to be wearing masks?

I was in a supermarket and a service station today and the vast majority are still not masked up.

What are the rules? Is it in place but up to the shops to enforce, is that why all the folk spending money are allowed to dander on in?

Also why wasn’t it reported with the 6 cases to day or were they reported last week or over the weekend?

Not mandatory in shops. Advised but no legislation unlike public transport where legislation is now in place so it is mandatory

No many of us will want to buy you a drink

I've read back through your posts and you're very knowledgeable. Apologies I've been ratty this evening.

I've had chest problems, non Covid related, and on antibiotics and steroids for over 3 weeks, they mess up sleep etc.

The day in the 30s before the weekend had Dublin +25 so it had to be included in that

Might be mistaking it for UK where they will be compulsory on Friday I think.

Saw someone post on the vaccine thread that 85% of those that make it to phase 3 are approved

By the way there is no such thing as a polesheep, when the flock turns the one at the front is at the rear. It is only by chance that any particular sheep is in front, there is no ability they are all followers.

I guess you know as much about sheep as you do about the level of covid risk in any particular environment.

If you don't think that they have PR advisors then you are naive. As for the name polesheep, check out the sign up page. And do please try to post without being insulting.

Felt the same in Centra in Salthill, Galway today as well, half of us masked up and others not.

Was in a pretty large supervalu in cork city today. All staff were wearing masks some had a visor and I reckon 90% of Customers wearing masks or coverings

270 cases in last two weeks, median age 34 years.

Median age down by 10 years in the last few weeks

It was at 45 not so long ago if I'm remembering right
