No cases since May, seemingly under control, leave them at it.

I have friends over that neck of the woods. Relative normality as resumed in a lot of places out there

Did you not hear that Mehaul and Leo are planning a countrywide pool party for when we get #ZeroCovid?

Wouldn't believe a word coming out of China.

Nope it`s clearly all due to the blood drinking shapeshifting lizards in human form from another dimension of existence who are controlling this planet and their evil plans for world domination.

That reminds me...

Mad to think that we're just small, tiny specs of insignificant dust, gathered on a small rock, among other gigantic rocks and balls of fire, through a vast and never ending zone, that includes black holes that suck you into another dimension that we know nothing about...

Puts it into perspective when you think of it like that

Numbers today yet?

Id think the same but maybe we should, like if the virus is as deadly as we have been told it would be seemingly impossible to cover up?

stevek93 · 19-08-2020 05:55PM

Works out as no more than 58 cases should be reported today.

54 reported. I'd wonder when the two reported deaths happened?

I find that hard to believe, they have neighborhoods over the with the same population as Ireland rammed in together and in six months they have as good as eradicated Corona,
When in six month's in ireland we can only have six people in your house but they can have 15000 people at a rave with no social distancing no problem.

ACitizenErased · 19-08-2020 05:59PM

I've a feeling Carlow is bordering on lockdown. 4 more cases yesterday, and more today.

It would be known, they are professional players on extremely high salaries. Clubs carry out intensive medical checks. You can be sure they’ve had everything scanned and checked.

Wouldn't say the professional rugby lads are on extremely high salaries. Don't doubt that a lung capacity check might form part of a medical, specifically looking for lesions, hmm, not certain, so can't be sure of that. Again, like to see the evidence before jumping to conclusions.

Trampas · 19-08-2020 06:01PM

Call me a cynic but how do numbers jump so and especially on bad news days they seem to shoot up like to give it more backing behind their reason. I’m expecting a jump tomorrow when pubs, and lok remain as is

The fact that the HSE can't do more than 6k tests a day for an entire week? Do you think that's acceptable? 100k a week, yeah right. Complete spin.

They can. Tests can only be processed if they are requested.
If there are only 6k tests requested a day, why would labs process more than that.

There's a difference between private testing and tests being done in private hospitals. Private hospital patients won't be done through the HSE but are still tests in a health care setting.

If private companies choose to source a private company to conduct their tests, that's up to them. The HSE can't control that.

I live in China and it is back to normal, I'm back to work, 30% of people wearing masks, the odd temperature check.

I'll take my best friends' word and knowledge on the situation. They have lived in Asia for 15 years

It's not uncommon.

It has been well established at this point that your body can suffer such affects. It got lost in the other **** show of a thread with the usual arguing that it's scaremongering and not actually a long term effect.

I was only reading a story on one of the US broadsheets this morning about the large number of people showing various damage to their bodies months after getting the virus, I can't remember which one, I'll try dig it out.

I don't know why some people are so quick to go and dismiss this virus as nothing and are so eager to rush back out to the way life was before. There's a vaccine right around the corner for us. I don't feel hard done by, by social distancing and restrictions. I've had some fantastic and unique experiences this summer and they were all nearly on my doorstep.

Kildare might end up being the reason they don't relax restrictions on the three counties.

For the past 11 weeks since June 8th almost double the average amount of cases announced on Tuesdays versus Mondays and Wednesdays, I suspect we have reporting issues over the weekend that filter into larger numbers on Tuesdays
