Tonight's figures are going to be astronomical based on the 60 from yesterday and the information from ACE.

Glynn was well aware of the high numbers coming hence his comments and the concern around the 3 counties. They had already been told yesterday evening of at least 60 to be reported today

He flagged it was coming well in advance.
Soon find out what the recommendations are for the 3 counties

It's hard to know exactly what they can do,. I don't think they're going to shut down businesses again, unfortunately that's something they only really have one go at and they knew that from the start.

Local restrictions is my guess. No non essential travel out of the 3 counties. Pretty difficult to go at that again, all you can do is put out a few Garda checkpoints and hope for the best that people comply because as you point out only really get one go at shutting down businesses but we'll soon see

It’s not the Black Death that the government and NPHET would lead you to believe.

Yes dangerous to certain age groups and compromised people but the fact is and backed up by the numbers

People actually recover from this and continue to live

Shocking really that well over 24000 people have actually recovered :eek:

Yes recovered. But now we’re stuck in a state of scaremongering and fear with the way this thing is being handled by government,NPHET and the media.

Now from Monday anyone who doesn’t wear a totally unnecessary mask will be treated like a leper and be stared out of it and intimidated because of the fear that’s been put in people

If they continue it’s going to take a generation for people to recover from this fear.

Phew! That's good to know. So you're saying that there's no long lasting damage to those that recover from this?

No evidence masks work.

Face coverings made from all sorts of material giving people false sense of security around others.

Very bad decision in reality unless you can provide a standard of mask or fabric that should be used.

You could wear a sieve on your face and everyone would think your no risk as you have your face covered.

Herein lies the problems with masks and face coverings

Answer me this - do you think having a piece of cloth over your mouth & nose prevents more, less or indifferent the amount of droplets that are released into a room if someone talks, coughs or sneezes?

That sounds like restrictions

Soon find out. Thats my guess alright, probably a no non essential travel recommendation or something like it for the 3 counties. Work from home etc

LATEST TESTING UPDATE

Tests conducted last 24 hours: 4980
Tests conducted last 7 days: 25043
Additional positive tests: 94
Positivity Rate last 7 days: 1.6%

Thought I throw this in as comparison

This is just Victoria's positive rate since the start of June, you see mid June once the case number starts to hit a higher number the tests increase next day then as they hit double figures consistently for about 5-6 days they realise there a definite problem and the tests just double overnight.

I dislike agreeing with that man.

Everyone wondering about a lockdown. I wonder is anyone considering actually inspecting other factories where this could happen? Or are we going with lockdown and get shocked when the same happens elsewhere in a few weeks and wonder how it keeps spreading when we are doing all this lockdown.

I know the US have reduced their testing capacity in the last few weeks. Could be part of that downward trend...

The CDC are also no longer in charge of reporting the figures, iirc.

Yep, don't trust the numbers anymore. Florida was caught out firing one of the state level scientists for being too honest with the data - Republican run state that Trump has seriously buddied up to. Lots of suspect activity going on now that all the data is being filtered through the White House.

How are local restrictions going to work it seems unenforceable . I live directly on Laois kildare border .. I am in kildare my neighbour across the road is in Laois and my sister less than half a mile down the road is in offaly .. I do most of shopping in Laois my wife works in different county.. my children’s friends are mixed between the 3 counties as are my family.
You have a motorway going through kildare and Laois.
Our staycation is booked for next week and we have already lost big money on our package holiday this year.
We will all crack up if we are locked down again and can’t get away the only thing keeping kids sane in the excitement of getting to Kerry for a week .

National restrictions like previously?

They can **** off if that's the case.

Yeah, you're right. Sorry.

Forget the Boris part of my question

It is understandable. We tend to forget scale on these things. You are absolutely right that we have f'd this part up royally. These latest outbreaks were preventable.
