    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.

    Somewhere along the way people forgot the purpose of the lockdown, which was to prevent the hospital's becomming overwhelmed.

    That won't happen when the cases are among the young thankfully.

    We made an absolute balls of this whole thing. They should have at least made masks mandatory in all indoor settings. But just certain settings. An absolute joke.

    Given that these recent spikes are mostly caused by food factories which were open all through lockdown, is it reasonable to assume these just weren’t being caught back then?

    Opening up the country and have everyone holidaying in every county in Ireland leads to cases everywhere. Hopefully with schools back and the traditional holiday period over we might get a handle on it again.

    Schools going back is going to have the opposite effect. It's going to get worse.

    I was in the local SuperValu yesterday evening and this morning I got notified by app that my phone picked up another phone that has been identified as belonging to someone who has tested positive with Covid. That person might have said the hell with this quarantine after 1 day or 14 days or whatever but it’s disappointing that people who are positive don’t do what they should do. I rang hse and said nothing to worry about as more than likely it was someone in queue. Just near someone. I was gone 15-20 minutes from leaving home to returning
    I thought you had to be within 2m of them for 15 minutes? Wtf is the point of giving you a notification and then telling you "oh it's nothing"? If it's nothing you shouldn't get a notification. People who are close contacts of confirmed cases need to isolate and get tested, not continue about their business as though nothing is wrong.

    The system is fucked.

    Except the young also meet people who aren't as youthful and robust as they are.

    Remarkable the cases are so low in Kerry. Hotel I work at in Killarney is full, almost 300 staying every night pretty much since we reopened over a month ago. People are being sensible, there's sanitizer everywhere and compliance is high with some of the changes that have been introduced to how the hotel operates. Not that I'm complaining obviously, but it's striking how unaffected the county as a whole is at the moment, particularly given the large number of visitors we'd get from all areas of the country.

    What is the point of the app if your just going to be told oh its nothing. That is absolutely shocking

    Shoulda Coulda Woulda. You keep saying this and it won't change where we are now. We each need to ensure we're doing all we can to protect ourselves and others. Best not to wait to be told to do something if you yourself feel it's needed.

    Should be like other european countries. Mask as soon as you leave your house. €200 fine if not wearing one. Our mickey mouse approach will cost us dearly.

    Considering 84 of the 87 from Brady's ham factory had no symptoms... Yes

    You covered the reason when you said compliance was high.

    Are you serious? The plan is to put groups of 30 in small rooms in every town and village in the country. It's going to accelerate the spread of the virus.

    I don’t know. It wasn’t a contact tracing notification

    Friend of mine lives in New York and says masks are worn everywhere and it’s accepted so life can go on relatively normal. The city has totally bought into it aswell.

    Would appear the Offaly and Laois should be out of lockdown at the first review Kildare on the other hand looks fecked, given the size of the population and it's Dublin centric commute, maybe local cordons will be required to close off the hot spots from the rest of the county.

    Surely they need to reconsider the school reopenings now.

    That's an absolute minimum. It's more than likely more.

    If the majority of that is happening in Kildare, they will have to rethink the wishy washy "lockdown" they have imposed.

    Not sure about outside in our weather. But indoors, yes. I have a simple rule I follow, if it's indoors and there'll be people, I mask up. None of this crap about masks in retail and public transport and bingo halls but then not in an office. Our government makes no sense.

    I would assume the vast majority of those are in Kildare, given that it is seeing the biggest increases.

    OMG OMG OMG 200 CASES!

    How many deaths, guys? None.

    Killer virus indeed.

    Absolutely tip of the iceberg, seeing that the detected cases are more in younger people.

    Seems to be a common trend post lockdown in other countries.

    Kind of curious, saw that you said you had a "matched key" over in the thread about the application.
    Did you need to go hunting in the settings manually to see that for yourself (rather than app actually "warning" you of anything [via a notification]?)

    Where you watching it?

    No press conference tonight.

    He always adds a couple of comments to the press releases.

    Now he is usually cautious.

    But today.
    This is the largest number of cases in a single day since the beginning of May. We now have multiple clusters with secondary spread of disease and rising numbers of cases in many parts of the country. This is deeply concerning. NPHET will monitor this extremely closely over the coming days."

    This virus is still out there and has not gone away. COVID-19 seeks to capitalise on complacency and is just waiting for the opportunity to spread. I am asking everyone, especially those who are over 70 or medically vulnerable, to limit your contacts, keep your distance from other people and take extra care to heed public health advice

    If I had to guess over 70s and the vulnerable are going to get the stick and Kildare will probably have to into a actual "lockdown" depending on where we are by Thursday.


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


    Anyone on here from Kildare able to comment on mask compliance? Genuinely interested in if people actually wear masks in the areas we're seeing biggest increases.
    I only say that because in Cork we're seeing low numbers with high compliance.
