    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]?)

    Posted this on reddit the other day but it might be useful here as well, just so people know what it looks like if you get a close contact warning through the app.

    Notification

    App

    Also if you dig into the settings and check the Exposure Checks (Settings > Search for "COVID" > COVID-19 Exposure Notifications > COVID-19 Exposure Logging > Exposure Checks) you can see if any of them have a number larger than zero beside "Matched Keys".

    Poor numbers today but was expected. Why don’t they just post the actual number on the day instead of backlogging and creating a large figure? Same last Saturday and previous that it was Tuesdays.

    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.

    Mask compliance is excellent! I was in Kerry and Mayo for two weeks just before this lock down and compliance is higher in Kildare.

    Eventually we have to accept that the virus could be here to stay.

    It is unsustainable to keep schools closed and swathes of the population out of work, under strain and worked up.

    Many countries around the world have to live with malaria, cholera, etc. every day and every year. They have to make the best of a bad situation.

    I think most European countries will be doing this.

    But we our poor healthcare system we are screwed.

    90 people die every day in the Republic of Ireland, what makes a covid death more important than a death caused by cancer, heart problems etc?

    I still think schools will open as planned in most counties. They may hold back Kildare.

    We all know the Kildare cases aren't down to masks, it's down to catching the meat factories there 2 weeks late, letting it spread into the community. Just like the Dublin cluster is going to blow up in 10-14 days

    Where is the dublin cluster?

    A placebo ffs? Please explain the science behind your opinion.

    For the umpteenth time so. Empirical evidence.

    No spread in supermarkets, virtually no staff infected. All through March, April, May, June, July. With no masks. With hundreds if not thousands of customers coming through every day. Staff handling their goods and cash. Talking to and interacting with them. Staff stocking the shelves amongst the customers. All with no masks.

    So we masks mandatory in supermarkets.

    Expecting what effect from this exactly?

    What that there’s no peer reviewed studies on masks? There isn’t. I’m just pointing that out. People are clutching to these like sacred rosary beads. I’m questioning their imagined benefits in more widespread circumstances. I wear them as mandated but do it think they have any real benefit? Fcuk all.
    It’s social distancing and good hygiene that are really key.

    How is it a false equivalency? There are countless cases of cancer going undiagnosed here and abroad. When that missed window of opportunity to treat that translates into fatalities and people in their 30's and 40's die of cancer are they less important than covid deaths? We're sentencing this country to a death of a thousand cuts with this covid tunnel vision.

    To the people who are getting excited that there are no deaths.

    1. Deaths here take weeks and sometimes months to report due to the notification procedures.

    2. From onset of symptoms to death is typically 9+ days, for those who do die.

    I hope to feck you're still yelling that we're getting worked up over nothing in a few weeks.
    If deaths occur in a hospital setting where the vast majority happen they are immediately notified, particularly now that the nursing home debacle has passed it is only the odd notification that is delayed.

    That’s your opinion but you’re never ever going to stop human interactions going on. I’m merely pointing out the reality of how life goes on.
    You can lockdown again. You can ban people leaving their houses. But guarantee once that relaxes people will interact again.

    My SuperValu had to back track on making masks compulsory. It’s shocking that people complain about things like this. It’s like they don’t like been told what to do. Wear a visor if masks bothers you that much. They do delivery if you want to.

    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

    High number today. Very disappointing. My biggest worry is all the cases cropping up outside of the troublesome areas and clusters outside of the factories and LOKdown.

    2 weeks time will be the important figures, the aftermath of spread from the meat plants and direct provision centres should have tappered off then.

    Because you don’t get cancer or a heart problem walking into a shop, pub, social setting...

    9000 people die a year in Ireland from cancer.

    1774 covid deaths so far

    behavior such as a meeting can’t give you cancer.

    9000 cancer deaths could be 11,000 next year, but social contact won’t influence this.

    With covid 1174 deaths could be 100,000, what is preventing this is the majority doing what has been asked of them. Sacrifice and disciple.

    Tonight is a covid shîtshow....the biggest single day in upsurges since May, 200 additional cases.

    I just don't understand what the likes of him expect from people. Are people supposed to never socialize, meet friends/family or just go to the shops or restaurants again?

    While I do think people need to exercise caution I also take the view that people have been bombarded for the last 6 months, let up with the rabid condemnations a bit.

    I’m not making an argument im pointing out that people from cork seem to think they have less cases because of some imagined extra mask compliance.
