    Have to remember the first death of a person through community transmission was mid-February in the CUH. That means infection in roughly late January.

    Pretty sure they use March as the date for us. It did come up a few times and the CMO used that date.

    Have a relative who got a bad dose back at the start of the year and still having problems with pain breathing etc. Doctors don't know what it was and I wouldnt be surprised if it was covid

    I keep thinking back to February. I met up with a friend who's kid was sick with a high temperature. A few days later, I get a very bad runny nose, like streaming out of my nose. That was very unusual for me. I remember googling if a runny nose was a symptom of covid but I brushed it off because it wasn't even in the country back then. The same week, my friend gets sick and ends up in hospital.

    Hope this was it for me but I'm still being cautious.

    0 deaths 200 cases.

    Some backlog that one would guess after the differences last 2 days


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,172 ✭✭✭wadacrack


    200 cases. Alarmingly high

    Fair play to him for resigning. Very rare in Irish politics. I'm still none the wiser if he actually broke a rule though.
    Obviously representing Irish tourism and going to Italy while thousands of families are out of pocket for holidays
    they paid for because flights still running, yet gov advice was you shouldn't travel. Holiday insurance invalidated but recourse for a refund.
    A bit unfair all round.

    I'm fairly certain a doctor can tell the difference between COVID and other illnesses if the whole 'its nothing like the flu' story is true.

    I doubt they would have been able to tell before February though - having not seen confirmed cases

    Back logged cases not really helping in giving a true picture of whats going on.

    I'm fairly sure it tallies closely with the discrepancies in postive tests v reported cases in the last few days.

    ACE can correct me on that if I'm wrong.

    It lines up perfectly - ~120 today and ~70 from yesterday

    Pretty sure that's the numbers for the last 2-3 days accounted for now

    There is absolutely zero evidence Covid was in Europe before December.

    They have retrospectively tested blood and sewage samples.

    If Covid was in Ireland in October we would have been Northern Italy.

    Well we have been warned to expect rises and falls for a while. Glynn has also said not to be alarmed about it. Let's see where we are over the next week or so. The lockdown counties were looking OK over the last few days.

    Why are they adding a backlog to all this? It really doesn't help with much.

    Any word on how much is community transmission?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,751 ✭✭✭✭ACitizenErased


    103 are men and 96 are women
    68% are under 45 years of age
    68 are confirmed to be associated with outbreaks or are close contacts of a confirmed case
    25 cases have been identified as community transmission
    56 are in Dublin, 81 in Kildare, 13 in Tipperary, 8 in Limerick, 6 Laois, 6 in Galway, 5 in Kilkenny, 5 in Meath and the rest of the 20 cases are in Carlow, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Louth, Mayo, Offaly, Roscommon, Waterford and Wicklow

    That’s a nice round number. Statistically speaking.

    Ridiculous numbers from Kildare again. Dublin spiking big time again too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,325 ✭✭✭✭branie2


    Shocking!
