That's minuscule. Great to see. Don't suppose you know total number of tests done to date? Know they used provide it odd time but haven't heard latest figure in a while.
Heard someone on radio earlier make good point that age profile has gone down due to in part anyone with suspected covid being hospitalised being tested at start along with more severe cases. WHO saying people in 20s/30s/40s now driving it but hopefully milder cases. Of course still need to protect vulernanle and older people. But with people in Kildare, Laois and Offaly getting tested because could be asymptomatic. Plus people in age may be more likely to be working in general and then in meat plants and working in healthcare. And socialising more too of course.

Loved this bit of the article

Though the study has some flaws

Almost like the reader is expected to ignore certain aspects of an article.

137 outstanding / unaccounted for from yesterday
31 swabs today

168 potential cases there but doesn't account for private testing

Be interesting to see how many of those 168 swabs will be included in today's and tomorrows case numbers. Last week most swabs was all added in especially last Thursday and Saturday when near 300 cases was reported.

Are we still using the German Labs? I asks because the testing numbers jumped into the 10,000 over the weekend

I wondered the same tbh, the government plane that takes em there flew over my house today (under baldonnell flight path) and I hadn't seen or heard it since it used to make the frequent trips when we were very publicly using the labs. Could be just going for a spin all the same.

Over 22 million reported cases worldwide (with 5 million added since August 1st).

Around 1/4 million new cases being added every day.

Over 3/4 million reported deaths and good evidence that the pandemic is getting worse.

Yet we have the deluded dumb right wing 'flu bros' still trying to justify the inane ramblings of Trump and Bolsonaro !

Unbelievable !!!

You're on intellectual autopilot Mr. Bank. I could go to a newsagent down the road, purchase a newspaper, and I would know all your opinions.

You are instructed by the media to mistrust certain leaders (Trump, Bolsonaro Putin, Johnson etc.) and trust the rest. You should mistrust all of them and all the information coming your way and do your own thinking.

It looks like all sporting events will be going back behind closed doors according to Mary Regan.

Remember these are swabs, not cases.

Where are you getting the 137 figure from yesterday?

Baffling decision seeing as there's less than 50 supporters at any matches anyway

Total number of positive swabs, less cases announced, I'd guess

Usual us about 4 / 5k a day even lower and then they have these spikes which makes me think german lab numbers. If they can do 10,000 a day why are people complaining for waiting so long for results.

259 postive swabs in last 48hrs. 122 cases announced

There was a decent crowd allowed in for the world snooker final in Sheffield the last day and that was indoors.

Different jurisdiction granted but hard to make head or tail of the decision making process at the moment.

Reading that tweet by Mary Regan again - it sounds like that's one of the NPHET recommendations and hasn't necessarily been confirmed
