57 are men / 38 are women

35 cases are located in Kildare, 26 in Offaly, 6 in Wexford, 5 in Laois, 5 in Dublin, and 21 are spread across ten other counties (Carlow, Cavan, Donegal, Kilkenny, Limerick, Louth, Meath, Monaghan, Westmeath and Wicklow).

If 67 are associated with the outbreaks and 4 CT, where have the other 27 cases come from? Travel?

The Virgin Media news map of Ireland with Cork plastered in red and thus marking it as a virus hotspot along with the 3 midland counties is absolutely ridiculous and straight up wrong.

Really that's mad

Hate this headline from the Echo

Covid-19 latest: new cases continue to be identified in Cork

https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/Covid-19-latest-new-cases-continue-to-be-identified-in-Cork--d9c9679c-4a42-47f6-b987-3f6ab78b9856-ds

Ah of course cases will continue to be identified

"The latest figures show that in the last 14 days for which data is available (July 21st to August 4th), 11 cases of Covid-19 were reported here."

Cork is doing quite well recently

Travel, healthcare workers, other close contacts and cases under investigation

If MM has to address the nation this evening with new restrictions he better have some good movie quotes.

Well it isn’t now is it? Nice muddying / confounding.
You kinda left out travel quarantine.
Like a real quarantine, not advertising to visit here for most infected place on the planet.
Or incentivising people to go abroad by not cancelling flights.

I pointed out the important thing that it is not actually ZERO-COVID. I find it a really very dumb and utterly misleading name. Call it MinCOVID or something sensible since zero attracts all sorts of wild-eyed evangelists who would shut down the country for years to get to zero.

So why are you concerned about restrictions in a different county?

I am sorry? You are entirely fine with someone next to a hot-spot not being locked down because of an arbitrary line? I mean we could stick some more arbitrary lines across the counties and remove them from lockdown too. Plenty more than 20km from the border.

I presume the person is annoyed with it because they disagree and not everything is about if it affects them?

Maybe another mindset is needed. We can't lock down anymore.

There basically doing whack a mole same as every other country where theres clusters and hoping itll bring the numbers down not a lot else they can do

Will there be a run on toilet roll and pasta in those counties?

It really is considering its the second most populous part of the country and second biggest city, to have 2 cases yesterday and none today I think(?), Very good

Are all deaths recent? Unlike the last update.

I am 100% in agreement with the lockdown for those counties, because the numbers prove that it's needed.

4 out of 98 are community transmission or 4%

Community transmission is going ok at this stage

Is this more a containment measure maybe, they can't all require hospital care?

Atlantic Dawn · 07-08-2020 06:05PM

I'm getting the feeling by his intro that there will be some new restrictions outside the 3 counties.

If our testing and tracing was up to scratch it would be great. Only four community transmission cases. Pity.
