    Can't trust figures anymore, we know they've been holding back on figures and grouping them together the last week, and now mentioning the 32 county death rate.
    The mixed messaging has been shocking from the new government.

    I liked Eamons contribution there.

    I’d say he’s a voice of reason to the cabinet behind the scenes.

    As predicted huge numbers of back logged cases given today.

    It stinks.

    Still in a population of of 5 million we have tiny figures in hospital with Covid, 21 last week, what are the current figures?. The whole idea of flattening the curve was achieved, is the focus now on detected cases rather than hospital admissions?
    Meanwhile in Wuhan, they're clear and having pool parties....https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/18/asia/wuhan-water-park-party-intl-hnk/index.html

    Where is he getting 2300 from?

    Only said to put fear into people. Less than 1700 have died in the republic, a very small amount when compared to the population. Most of the 1700 or so were vulnerable old people who died in care homes and hospitals.

    I'm gonna presume no deaths today, they would have mentioned it if any

    Should deaths not of gone back up by now? or perhaps because younger people are the majority of people catching it now.

    Am I right in saying the only actual concrete change is that sporting events take place behind closed doors and all the other things announced are either in place already or completely ambiguous

    No Leo. Interesting that he's not there when there's bad news to be doled out.

    He was probably cognisant of the fact he is no the Teeshock. Martin gets the make the big speeches now.

    Well, at least we aren't under the leadership of someone who makes unnecessary journeys to attend a terrorists funeral.

    This too shall pass.

    Held back or not, our average over the past week is not good at all and should frighten us enough to cop on and double down the effort to minimise transmission
    Wrong people getting punished .. not one mention of meat plants all about socialising when a lot of the current cases materialised in factories.

    Dunno why people make a song and dance about daily numbers - it's Tuesday it the big number day. the rolling average is the best stat to look at.

    You've got the "progressive suburban" principal from Cork, the "totes amazeballs" urban one who couldn't distinguish a field if he was told to paraglide into it... It's only fair that there was a midlife crisis also being represented in the holy trinity of stooges.
