    Where's that info from? Do they not announce at 5.30 every day still?

    It does a WhatsApp circuit, or two, first.

    CCP aside, in what sense is the country a communist one?

    Vietnam isn't either, btw

    I'll let the BBC know.

    So did the two schools that informed parents go against HSE diktat that they can't inform parents? One to watch.
    I think every parent has a right to know if there has been a case in their class.

    It's a guideline, not a diktat.

    If you are claiming that the posts Micky32 is referring to are not misery personified it is you that is easily led to be honest. There is a few posters on this thread who have made it their mission to find the most obsure and misery inducing crap possible.

    I'd rather remain open to everything that comes in here and make my own decisions, thanks. If you deem it misery, that's your personal opinion.

    If I see copy and paste from a poster that is exclusively of the negative variety of course i'm going to deem it misery what other description could one attach? Although they seem happy in their mission so I wish them luck, but it's also a public forum so it's fair to offer an opinion.

    Scotland have gone from a five day rolling average of 65.6 to 115 in the last five days

    They opened schools two weeks before us, with reasonably similar guidelines and demographics and infection rate

    156 new cases in Scotland today

    five day rolling average now 136

    I think people are being very negative about people being negative. It's coming across very negative and one might even say it's a form of misery squared.

    Last time they announced a plan it was far too long and conservative and we never even completed that plan. :D

    Swiss pharma giant Roche have announced they will roll out the first 40 million instant (15 minutes) test kits later this month. No lab involvement required and they say its very accurate and works on symptomatic AND asymptomatic. If true will certainly be a game changer.

    Edit linky


    These tests look really good, Roche also have a potential treatment REGN-COV2 in Phase3 trials.

    It all depends on the cost of one and production capacity. They say they can do 40m a month at the moment and 80m from next year.

    Implications are huge. If you could test someone instantly or people could test themselves at home that's nearly as big a game changer as a vaccine. You could isolate cases instantly. Or even test someone when they board a plane or enter a night club or anything.

    I said it a while back. Game changers aren't just vaccines or medication. Instant test would be another one.

    Easy for me to say, as someone who isn't responsible for producing such a plan, but I really hope this is something tangible and sensible, although the latter is subjective.

    I think on the spot tests will be the turning around of all this. It would be so great! Seriously.
    Forcing people to do pin-prick tests on your doorstep - :D can't wait!

    Yes and think of all the people who can randomly shag strangers again. I swear to God sexual frustration is at the heart of so much of the angst in these threads. :pac:

    Anyone have an rough time frame for when the virus is going to be gone? I have a couple of things planned for the next few months (holidays, weddings etc.) that I really can't miss.

    :confused: What do you mean calm down? Maybe I am overestimating the possible impact of this or maybe you dont realise the implications yourself. I see this as the single biggest COVID news since the beginning of the outbreak.

    How do you get to 'sexual frustration'? 'cos I said night clubs? Was just an example for which I picked simply the one thats deemed to be the last on the list. Chill. ;)

    You'd wonder at what point they'd consider putting Dublin into a lockdown similar to Kildare with people not allowed to leave the county without an essential reason. Several hundred cases a day probably.

    105 positive swabs from 7,301 tests in last 24 hours. Positivity rate of 1.43%. Stabilising.
