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

Might have fit another algorithm, but surely enough to cause concern, different cohort.

SleetAndSnow · 15-08-2020 06:14PM

Awfully big number, glad Cork seems to be keeping things under control so far anyway. Hopefully stays

Community transmission is steadily rising - thats more of a concern

Kildare looks fecked by those figures

wadacrack · 15-08-2020 06:15PM

Growing alot in Dublin and Kildare. Laois and Offaly probably were not counties most in need of a lockdown.

Jim_Hodge · 15-08-2020 06:15PM

Community Transmission growing slowing. Hopefully they can trace the origins for most of these.

TheValeyard · 15-08-2020 06:15PM

We may need to go back a step and partially shutdown social and recreation areas that could be identified with community transmission.

ACitizenErased · 15-08-2020 06:15PM

I'd put money that the community transmission cases are arising mostly in Kildare and Dublin. The Dublin rise came from pretty much nowhere.

Another Gender Neutral positive today given the 200 cases

Oranage2 · 15-08-2020 06:16PM

It's all fine guys the 'backlog' has just been cleared the backlog from duckin yesterday. Absolutely crazy, it's over, we can't contain it, the country needs a lockdown or else numbers are going to rise quickly. We're not far off being on par with Brazil and the USA

brendanwalsh · 15-08-2020 06:16PM

Jesus.
This thing is back spreading like Wildfire.
Let’s remember it can take three weeks for people to develop symptoms and present for testing .
Could be a tough few weeks ahead. Hard to see how they can open schools or pubs at this rate

Its based on cases per 100k, the threshold for Dublin would be much higher than those counties

Compliance down here seems incredibly high, great to see we have low numbers

Not surprising the two are rising together given the amount of commuting between the two counties.

That actually made me laugh, apologies.

Drumpot · 15-08-2020 06:17PM

Is it reasonable to assume that the lockdown last week was partially because they sort of knew we were going to have a week of rising numbers? In a weird sense , it’s somewhat comforting if it shows they are getting better at responding to spikes quickly and pro actively.

feelings · 15-08-2020 06:17PM

Don't have any of those. But seems I was right.

Those would largely be the results of the infections from two weeks ago. Next week is going to be really important. It might actually be that they were too slow with lockdown and suppression will take considerably longer now.

When we start hitting their death levels come back with that hyperbole.

landofthetree · 15-08-2020 06:18PM

Second lockdown likely IMO.

s1ippy · 15-08-2020 06:19PM

Talk in the Examiner of Tipperary being locked down in the next few days.

https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster/arid-40032815.html

Being realistic, schools aren't going to be opening. If a mushroom plant can close a whole county, 7+ schools having a simultaneous outbreak in a given county, and all the parents workplaces having to close as a knock-on consequence too? That's not sustainable even in one county at a go, let alone four counties. No doubt there'll be more spread in the coming weeks. Nobody is being deceived by this utter farce any more, it's plain to see. We're too small a country for this to spread like this.

I’m in Bettystown and my mum said earlier in the town it was black with people, little social distancing and not much mask wearing.

There’s a local convenience store I now avoid as they don’t give a crap about masks or social distancing. Deplorable stuff and they seem to attract the belligerent group of sailors that love to live dangerously.

0gac3yjefb5sv7 · 15-08-2020 06:20PM

Life has to continue. Cases were always going to rise after lockdown eased. Keep safe and taking precautions but that's all you can do.

Boggles · 15-08-2020 06:20PM

I don't like the tone of Doctor Ronan.

Maybe that guys Whatsapp message from his Aunt wasn't complete horseshít.

Humberto Salazar · 15-08-2020 06:20PM

Not a hope in hell of pubs reopening. I'd wager we're close to going back a phase or 2. They won't waste time on it.

Half of Kildare work in Dublin, tens of thousands of people moving back and forth on a daily basis even during the three county lockdown isn't helping.

Dublin still low per population
