I wonder what regular old Tuesday is going to bring us this week.

This is the first Tuesday since nursing home testing ended, the backlog was non-existant prior to that so I don't expect much of a backlog.

The employers are simply running their businesses. I don't think you can implement guidelines in meat factories. And I don't think meddling with the food supply chain is going happen.

I still find it hard to take any of the guess work stats the government release.

housing for staff is the issue there anyone can see that bar egghead steve

Of the cases notified today:
27 are men and 19 are women

85% are under 45 years of age

32 are associated with outbreaks or are close contacts of a confirmed case

5 cases have been identified as community transmission

15 cases are located in Kildare, 8 in Laois, 7 in Clare, 5 in Offaly and the remaining 11 are spread across nine other counties

And the link you posted to says this

https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/0803/1157049-glynn-transmission-identified-in-90-percent-of-cases/

The acting chief medical officer Dr Ronan Glynn has confirmed that over 90% of new Covid-19 cases in Ireland have had their source of transmission identified, describing it as "positive".

Only four of the 53 latest infections.....

So in one link you posted the 90% figure as if it referred to today and your response to me pointing that out was to just post today's figures again

Ach here, let's not start this squabbling again tonight.

Produce your own figures if you wish. This nitpicking is tiresome and gets nowhere.

Thanks for posting, did it say which counties the 5 community transmissions are in?

Don't mean to be like bragging or anything of course just an observation but I'm seeing really high mask compliance in Cork, I would say 80-90% and we haven't had a case in 3 days. Just 5 cases over the past week.

I was in West Cork last week and must say we were very surprised to see so few masks . Now I will say that we were well out of the city but we saw masks only on the hotel staff . We were in shops and a chipper and no one including the staff wore masks
We walked out of one chipper that had neither perspex or hand sanitizer or masks
In fact I would have reported them if I knew where to .

Jim_Hodge · 03-08-2020 07:10PM

They don't give that level of detail.

I've no desire to nitpick but I'm going to call out someone quoting a statistic that refers to a previous days statistic just afters today's statistic are released.

And haven't quibbled with anything else they posted

Based on the fact that catching reading up on this thread it appears things have gone out of control completely, and it’s not an increased level of detection of the mild and asymptomatic through excellent contact tracing

I don't think that's what most people on the thread think. Maybe a few hold that extreme of a view, but it's not the consensus view.

I don't believe that but I do believe there is a number of idiots around ( like the 2 men I saw today standing together behind the glass door of a local pub or the women who couldn't stand 2m behind me in a queue ) that aren't helping matters

I know? And 89% of today’s cases were tracked. You said 70 something

32 out of 45 is 70%.

5 lead to "dead ends" and were written off as community transmission.

That leaves 9 which are either travel related or still under investigation, they didn't announce the detail.

So 70% as we know it have been "tracked"

You've a habit of never addressing the question. It was an honest question for information on admissions. Turns out he was trying to be sarcastic.

Of course I know people need hospital. I have had two friends critically ill from this, so cut the attitude and perhaps answer the question asked of you, but avoided, hours ago now.

Yep, Laois and Kildare are the direct provision sites and I wouldn’t be surprised if Offaly was included too.
