    Yup but as has been said before getting any sort of reliable estimate is difficult

    Still high but glad it's not 150 odd

    I take it you did not study maths at UCC then?

    136 tends to be in a very close vicinity to '150 odd'.

    Small but growing fraction of cases due to community transmission.

    Extremely dangerous not to move back to phase 1 and wipe this out. National lockdown needed immediately

    Lockdowns don't wipe it out, if they did it would have been gone by May.

    1.6 last week from a high of 1.8 the week previous to that. It is moving slowly in right direction. Positive news.

    It was gone but we never sealed the borders.

    In conjunction with huge testing programmes they can.

    I presume Prof Nolan is referring to the initial factory outbreaks ?

    Only 18 in hospital. The most vulnerable have already caught it and recovered or unfortunately past away.

    We are watching herd immunity unfold.

    Seroprevalence study has finished - sample of communities in Sligo and Dublin.
    35% invited responded.
    Seroprevalence was 0.6% in Sligo and 3.1% in Dublin.
    National estimation of 1.7%

    Maybe two flickers would be better than someone marching on to grab it like a baton and hand it between the two speakers?


    You know, with the virus and all that?

    This seroprevalence talk seems like testing propaganda. I highly doubt we picked up nearly 50% of cases.

    We were close, except we didn't control the factories and the borders

    There’s people just fixated with lockdown and can’t move off them as the only “solution”...they likely enjoyed the last one, savour a return. When you point out just how useless they are in terms of overall control you get blankness or well worn cliches about protecting the vulnerable and so on

    A surge in all Europe

    I wonder did all the positivities like vaccine close and the numbers looking so much better get people a bit complacent ? Thinking we had this beaten beaten ?

    I wonder what roles psychologists and behavior experts are having in terms of advising government and in turn the media as to how they need to report what’s happening. Almost with some of the news reports it’s looked a bit too cuddly, fictional and distant. I was in Omni park yesterday and mask usage was quite a ways down compared to what I’m used to seeing there... I stopped outside a shop window to get change out before I went in to buy a drink and a person was literally touching against my shoulder to see something in a display... they had a mask but still...too close for comfort just fûckin wait a minute..
