Lost the link. Thanks

Main point was to limit contact with people to try stop the virus but it wasn't really explained well.

They must have positive cases to back up the logic.

76 are men and 111 are women

75% are under 45 years of age

The social stuff afterwards!

But they have banned any gathering of more than 6 people, there are restrictions on restaurants/pubs anyway. Where could you socialize? This is total madness what they are doing

Here's a hint. Celebrate Christmas at the Autumn Equinox this year.
And don't say later I didn't warn yiz.

I think we can all agree that that was like watching a really bad remake of a movie.

Terrible script and the standard of actors gone completely downhill.

That's not what they normally do? They tell us every day about how many cases have been notified to them in the past 24 hours.
Most of these cases were on the HSE dashboard 3 days ago,.

I don't know but Glynn said that about a week ago, where they were waiting for mass testing in or two locations and contact tracing to finish before finalising numbers.

One possible positive of 6 people indoors restriction is it might be the start of a crackdown on over-packed shared accommodation.

So if you have five kids one is to move out?

It’s 6 from at most 3 different households. Nothing to do with numbers within that accommodation

System has capacity to do 100K tests a week, so it'll be fine.

The system can process 100K tests maybe but it's a different story going to each and every meat factory and taking the tests on a weekly basis. So that might involve going to hundreds or even over 1000 sites each week to collect samples. Not an easy job.

An under 14 game of hurling with 30-40 people attending outdoor is more of a risk than a wedding, funeral and mass.

WOW.

It is. The problem being you might attend several games, but given the limitations around weddings and funerals you might only attend one of those for the rest of the year. Having attended a sporting fixture recently, beyond limited attendance and some hand sanitizer at the gate there was little or no distancing going on. So while I was the lonely musician up on the hill, every other numpty was all huddled together or sitting alongside one another on the perimeter wall. People cannot keep apart unless there is an official walking around telling them. There wasn't.

Literally anything frivolous but involves mass gatherings is going to be cut right back now. The government has staked it's credibility on schools reopening and will go to lengths and sacrifice other sectors to ensure they open.

If that was a film you would be left wondering how the fcuk it got a budget in the first place.
The women version of the ghostbusters film springs to mind.brutal.

The worst was the start when they all tried to make inspirational speeches, worst was Eamonn Ryan, how's he a minister and a leader of a party?

It is almost as fast as March in here at the minute so you might miss this reply.
I accept your 10 %. If a billion people get fku annually and WHO also estimate deaths at 250,000 to 500,000 annually, which I have seen, that is not the 0.1% mortality rate for flu which people go on about. It is at most half that. For the life of ne I cannot be sure what half of 0.1 % is. Is it 0.05? Which would make flu mortality rate look small beside guesstimated Covid mortality rate.

Vaccines reduce the flu mortality

All I can do is quote Glynn who pointed out it was the before and after at sporting events where there were likely to be lots of contacts, both at matches and socially.

Well that wasn't great. I'm not usually one of those who'll just automatically complain just for the sake of it after a politician as much as breathes on television, but that was a bad enough press conference. Really low on detail. MM rambled and wasn't clear in his messaging. Stephen Donelley spoke better, on the rare occasion that he did speak, but his soundbites were totally lacking in detail - strong whiff of nebulous PR in his responses. Éamonn Ryan being there was a joke. He threw out some platitudes at the start, giving the impression of someone who'd done no work prior to the big presentation and was hoping to wing it when he had to speak: the most cringe moment of the entire press conference was when he interrupted Ronan Glynn in order to make his only attempt to answer a question - and rambled something fuzzy and wooly about people being tired.

Dr. Glynn was better, but even he fudged his way through some of his responses - felt like the inarticulate ramblings of the politicians was even more infectious than Covid.

Tim Robbins · 18-08-2020 07:12PM

Ok so sport continues but behind closed doors. So your 8 year old has a match, do you hide in the car? What about ten year old?

The mix messages from that meeting were farcical.

Have we carried out any "random" PCR testing at airports or of the population in general and controlled for various factors?

I think this is really needed to get a grip on this before it gets out of control.

This is where we have failed and why we are back to. bad numbers.

Look at Wuhan now.

Don't see their people being restricted like ours for 5 months.

Makes no sense to me, then again the 9 euro tayto sandwich doesn't either.

Also did Stephen D say 3 in 100 people who arrive into the country have Covid or did I mishear that? He didn't really dive into that stat.

Standardised I think, some were way past it and 11.30 in theory gives them three sittings.
