    Great questions again.. "if a child is showing symptoms, should they be tested?".

    I'm not a doctor, but I'd say yes.

    How dare you!! Requesting open, transparent, specific, useful local data? Have you no respect for the GDPR of totally anonymous numbers??

    Could be a way of avoiding unnecessary panic either. You know how the media are, they'd have half the country in their bunkers.

    "Final question, I've been informed of a creche where multiple kids are bleeding from the eyes and have risen from the dead and are feasting on the brains of creche workers. Parents have indicated they are not concerned and wish to avoid testing for a virus. Do you have anything you can say to these parents to put their minds at rest? "

    I dunno if I can stick this if that's the kind of horsepat they're going to be asking about. Obviously those parents should have contacted the GP like. These conferences are literally pandering to people who have just tuned in to the virus generally.

    Shane Beaty in now with the colour coding and pubs, completely rubbish questions as per. Finally he's asking something with a bit of meat, the Leo Varadkar bilge is being discussed. "There will be clusters when we open schools"... surely they should do everything to mitigate that from happening. But no. Just the usual "no zero risk environment" so let's go with the 95% risky one instead of taking all precautions necessary because funding and stakeholders and who gives a monkeys about children and parents.

    SortYaOut would you ever ask them about people who are contracting this again and what the prevailing research is as to why:

    Acting CMO Dr Glynn said this evening that most of the recent reported deaths are from months ago.

    The death toll in the UK has fallen by 5,377 after the government changed the way it counted deaths. Previously anyone who has ever tested positive for the virus in England was automatically counted as a coronavirus death when they died, even if their death was likely to be caused by something else.

    How can this happen re delay in deaths? Surely someone didn't just turn around and say "ballix, i put them down as a heart attack and it was actually covid"

    Be handy if they gave the counties where the community transmission cases are coming from

    That would be very good. Just to see. Like of community transmission is occurring in a hotspot county or located in counties with high case numbers. It would be good to narrow it down.

    I'm guessing the vast majority of community transmission cases are coming from the 3 counties, I assume they would have taken action otherwise

    But we're in lockdowns, so rates of infections are nowhere near what they were or could be. Plus 2% of hundreds of thousands of cases still flattens most health services.

    Which is what lockdowns have been all about. This was never a 'we're all gonna die if we don't lockdown'. It was 'if we don't lockdown we'll have chaos in our health system and more people than could or even should die, will'.

    I’m looking at others, not us. Where are all the UK hospitalisations despite the infection rates over previous weeks

    And unlike the 61 years Waterford have waited for an all Ireland in hurling this is a streak that's good.

    I think you have up to three months to certify a death.

    "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" kind of thing?

    No, a ‘no point locking down for something that doesn’t make you sick’ kind of thing.

    If hospitalisations rates stay as low as it looks like they are in other countries, and we don’t get a vaccine next year, we need to change tack to get back to normal as much possible, less the cure becomes worse than the disease as it is now (not as it was in March)

    Did he just tacitly say 22% are community transmission? That's 1 in every 5 cases, that's a staggering proportion that they can't figure out.

    16% confirmed, 6% under investigation and 'likely to be connected' as he said. Overall 31% of cases are community transmission so it's not really surprising.

    They know where they came from and he said 16% it’s the undefined ones that can’t be followed up

    Absolutely nuts that it was counted like that for so long!

    Maybe not a surprise, but when cases are climbing so steadily it's clearly dangerous.
