    Still a significant number of cases though.

    You'd wonder when Kildare lockdown will be lifted. It could be months.


    I doubt anyone in Kildare will follow anything this shower of crooks in government say after sticking the two fingers up at us.

    I won't anymore. I'll take every precaution other counties are taking and follow general advice on solution distancing etc but **** them after this.

    Wow excellent news. Covid dooms day merchants won't be happy with that.

    Hold on now. That level of daily cases would not be anywhere nearly positive.

    Versus the figures they tested it is good news.

    Might show that the lockdown of LKO was a little over the top.

    Wouldn't be surprised if the government fiddle the numbers today. Huge pressure on them now with the golf fiasco.

    That's how it goes guys right?

    Why would it be over the top if you perceive the reduced numbers of new cases as being an improvement? Surely the restrictions have contributed to this amelioration.

    If you are young and healthy, it is incredibly unlikely that you will see the inside of a hospital, never mind an ICU.
    Because they won't let you in to visit your sick or dying relatives?

    Unreserved? The dickhead went to a party with 80 dickheads straight after increased restrictions were announced, and to a party that broke the rules prior to the change also, irregardless of “partitions”

    Will Dublin be locked down if it gets worse there? Or will they go for the "we're all in this together" option.

    Keep it going yourdeadwright, between 5 and 7 can be awkward for me to get the numbers, and having them earlier in the day would be great

    I think the only way to win back the public support over golfgate is to hang everyone that attended out to dry.

    Sack Hogan et al and show that there's zero tolerance for that type of ****housery

    Testing/tracing that was excellent would help everyone in this country. Unfortunately it's not. We need to focus on this. What's your solution other than we're not new Zealand?

    Make it an offence to break home quarantine, with contact tracers used for follow up checks.

    Also make it an offence for an employer to force anyone into work who they know travelled to a red zone in the last two weeks.

    And make it an offence for a worker to go to a workplace if they had been to a redzone in the two weeks previous or who declined to tell their manager.

    Its unlikely we'll ever get to NZ type quarantine hotels, but enforcing quarantines with penalties would be a reasonable half way point.

    Unfortunately privacy laws here make telling people where you've been impossible.

    As it stands there's nothing so stop someone travelling here and going where they want. There were reports of US tourists going to restaurants even though they should have been in quarantine. Nothing can be done about it as there is no law against it. Our hands are tied.

    So zero covid can't happen unless you change laws and remove civil rights.

    94 positive swabs last 24hrs from 13,080 tests - a record testing figure

    With the few positive swabs not counted yet I think the max number of confirmed cases we could get today is 112.

    The best kind of top secret exciting government moles are the last people you would ever imagine to be one. :)

    10 to 12 days is the mean time to hospitalisation not 3 to 4 weeks, and for most countries , in the initial surge, deaths spiked within 10 days of cases spiking

    To be fair took at least 4 weeks for deaths to follow increased cases in the US during the second wave

    Zero tolerance is impossible to achieve. We have to live with the s!thousery. No point shutting it down for it to pop up again.

    Dublin has a population of 1.35m so on that basis the daily incidence is 3.2 per 100,000 population. That compares with the national figure of 26.6 per 100,000 (14 day average).

    How worried are you?

    Not really, it's bang what you'd expect. Dublin share of cases overall is 46%. Today is 53% which is well inside the deviation for such a small number.

    There was only 18 yesterday which means they were likely repeat tests
