    61 cases

    It's worth celebrating any day we hear of no further deaths.

    I know it's only one day but 16/61 for community transmission is rather high.

    39 in Dublin, 13 in Kildare and the remaining 9 cases are in Cork, Kerry, Laois, Limerick, Longford and Wicklow.

    Every day there's a considerable number of cases in addition to associated or close contacts and community transmission. Are the others under investigation and if so, when do they publish the findings?

    You would assume most of those are in Kildare/Dublin, roughly 25% so not that much different from the 20% average

    Contact tracing can take up to a week. The ones that have absolutely no link and require no investigation are put in the press release. Prof. Nolan said that most if not all of the under investigation cases will be linked to outbreaks. We will likely never see that info published. You'd have to go digging in HPSC data.

    So what's happening here in terms of numbers is the same as pretty much every other European country after they lifted lockdown.

    No deaths Jim, how many who caught c19 over the past 6 weeks actually died from it.
    Or do we have to wait for two weeks to see no spikes attributed from the protests..

    It dropped to 66 last Sunday and then 56 on Monday. I wouldn't read much into the drop from yesterday to today.

    So down again on yesterday’s number but if I remember rightly the acting CMO did say that case numbers would go up and down for a while and that seems to have happened. If it starts to go up and not come back down then we’d be in trouble.

    We haven't even come close to the 200 since that happened, hopefully the drop will continue into this week

    That depends on efforts in testing.
    It looks predictable and like the government have a hold on it but they don't.

    I think at this stage it's the volume of tests that can give indicators. We've been in mass testing mode for a bit so numbers up and down.

    20 in the 0-14 range means they caught it. There's a lot of private household clusters at the moment, they likely caught it from parents/brothers/sisters.

    Maybe they got it from their parents????? The fact kids of that age have it doesn’t alone prove that they are spreading it.

    Great to see a low number and the 50 / 50 gender split finally brings a bit of balance to their reporting. It's been nothing but sexist so far. It's still a bit ageist but in a good way. Another round number too. Entirely coincidental I suppose. Could well be an outlier but here's hoping.
    Testing is the problem.
    If we could just stop the testing we'd have even fewer cases.

    1 in 4 people don't know how they got it. Community transmission not great.

    yes because I would like to know if they are in fact actually connected to other cases and our contact tracing isn't up to scratch/detailed enough

    You can probably catch it on a plane. Wonder how many of our "community transmission" cases had been on a foreign holiday recently?

    That means we can no longer trot out the line....

    "This is not a travel related disease"
    "there is NO EVIDENCE of transmission occurring on a plane"

    Only took 5 months for the evidence to come to light.
    On day 14, a previously healthy 28-year-old woman tested positive. She had worn a N95 mask on the flight, except when she used the toilet. She sat 3 rows away from one of the asymptomatic cases on the plane, and used the same toilet as this person.

    I wonder what county has the highest number of cases per head of population?

    Qatar, according to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/. Some of the big, non-city state ones in the top ten are: Chile, Panama, Peru, USA, and Brazil. We're no. 46, but all the above has to be treated with a pinch of salt, as it depends on testing, I'd imagine.
