35 in hospital, Highest number in a number of months. The last week or so have seen a worrying increase

It's the highest in months because we had the highest case load in months in recent weeks. No discharges at weekends so increase expected. 35 out of over 2000 cases in the last 3 weeks is still a low number and only 6 so far require ICU treatment.

Just listening to Newstalk there saying that you shouldn't be charged for a Covid consultation with the doctor if you have any symptoms.
It's not happening from that I'm seeing if you want a consultation with the doctor you have to pay, what's i'm seeing is you don't get to talk to the doctor, you have to talk to the nurse on the phone and they won't let you near the doctor, it's the gp nurses sending people for the tests.

Their trying this outdoor socialising crack on o connell sheet n Limerick at the moment. Looks utterly depressing. Give me my old rural Irish pub any day of the week. We don't have the climate for this to be a success.

Outdoor dining and drinking has been extremely successful in Cork and Dublin, so much so that the temporary street pedestrianisations are being made permanent. Feedback has been all round very positive so you are in a minority if you think this trened will not be a success in Ireland due to our climate. Many regions of the world have wet and cool climates, outdoor street life however is commonplace throughout many other Northern European urban areas despite that.

Outdoor dining is fine in July and August but from October to April?

Perhaps, I guess we will have to wait and see. Blankets, lamps, heaters, glass screens for wind..maybe I'm naive but yes I think outdoor dining will even be successful even in the winter time if the streets are designed to comfortably accomodate and encourage it. Irish winters are really quite pleasant in terms of temperature, rain and wind can easily be overcome with awnings and covered terraces and decks.

I'm struggling to even think of places in Dublin where there was much visible outdoor dining before COVID but one that springs to mind is this lane on the Northside by the Liffey. It is well designed spatially, with many shelters and awnings and tight lanes that protect from gales. These little restaurants and winebars have busy external terraces even in the middle of winter, usually the whole lane is buzzing with life.

Cow's Lane templebar also has busy outdoor terraces occupied during winter time.

Anyway, I'm not completely certain Ireland's new outdoor dining trend will survive winter but I think you'd have to be a real miser to give out about our city councils trying to find new ways of keeping businesses alive and injecting life into our urban areas before we have even properly given it a go.

Why were cancer patients not given the option of continuing with hospital treatment during the lockdown? Cancer is much more likely to kill than Covid? Those patients might have been willing to sign waivers to clear doctors of liability if Covid infection occurred during the treatment.

Agreed, we have to give it a go. Even if it's only to keep businesses alive over Winter. I'd like to see some sort of government campaign to encourage people to eat out and help businesses survive.

One problem with your suggestions I could see is that anything which reduces the wind (for comfort) also isn't going to be great for dispersing the virus. The stat I've seen is that you are 19 times less likely to catch the virus outdoors, but it's still possible in the right circumstanes.

The ship is steadying again, it appears. They will have learned a huge amount over the last month and they appear to have managed it predominantly by local partial-lockdowns which didn’t affect the majority of us, so that bodes well for future outbreaks.

Fantastic numbers, our weekly average will be lower than last weeks with that great start

Medical professionals took the view that the risk was far too great to such patients. It would be hard to find one who disagreed.

Polar101 · 31-08-2020 03:10PM

And possibly the 9th day in a row without deaths, which would be great news.

A new report from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that in 94 percent of the cases of those who died from COVID-19, another disease was also at work on the victim.

“For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned,” the CDC stated in its report, under the heading “Comoborbities.”

“For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death,” the report continued.

Does this mean that its time to go back to the idea where the vulnerable isolate and the rest get on with getting the country back on its feet?

I think the 9,340 is over 24 hours. I make it 15,102 tests in the last 48 hours, giving a positivity rate of 1.38%
