    Is that high for a Sunday?

    Highest since early May, yeah.

    But these daily figures are bunk. Wait for the averages to come out. Can't trust the daily case reporting anymore.

    Their usual low after a high number which makes today's tally more worrying

    Maybe I’m being optimistic and hoping they’ve sorted the lag and we won’t see a jump at the start of the week.

    True, but the 7 day average is around the same as today's case count in the 130s, so it is still average.

    Has the relationship between cases and deaths / hosptialisations not changed since the start?

    A case rise of x amount now surely doesn't mean the same thing as it did early on in the outbreak. (I've not been following things closely).

    Will be probably some stricker restrictions in Dublin within 10 days, Virgin media reporters emphasized the the high rates in Dublin nearly 200 this weekend. The media have been very much in the know throughout this. No statement also from Ronan Glynn. Hopefully I'm wrong but its not looking good.

    At the peak of the outbreak even with symptoms you couldn't get tested - needed to foreign travel, healthcare worker or vulnerable group. So for every positive test figure there was some multiple who had it but weren't tested.
    Now it is less likely there is such a multiple and the cases are the cases.
    Picking up a lot more asymptomatic people as testing close contacts work places etc.

    Why was the late Sally Maaz placed in a Covid ward even though the result of the test she had undergone was negative? If the staff who put her there didn't know her test had come back negative and then she had told them, why did they still put her in that ward?

    What can you bring in?
    If you close restaurants/pubs you have to close hotels really as well. Or are you going to allow hotel only to see food?
    Or do the local lockdown. Only food/drinks outside. Could be another storm tomorrow
    We could do something like that for small countries, but cant really do it to Dublin

    Being in Dublin myself, and not against it but saying only have 6 people over to your house was pointless restriction as its not enforable


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭Always_Running


    Going by the positive swabs the previous few Sundays was high also but cases was held back and reported on different days.

    I don't think they will lockdown Dublin, it would have too big an economic impact. They might lockdown an area of Dublin, but with more severe restrictions than the LOK down. Closing pubs, restaurants and possibly schools for a couple of weeks.

    This may well be the contact tracing associated with them.

    Its about people moving. Need to reduce movements
    Opening schools themselves is low risk, its about more people on public transport, parents seeing other parents and just general society moving about.
    We need to reduce that
    Going to be quite hard as we move into the winter as people cant socialise as much Outdoor

    Restrict their travel in area of Dublin affected
    Close pubs restaurants hotels in area
    Ban visitors in people's homes in that area.
    Schools other workplaces stay open.

    Simple

    So thousands of kids sitting beside each other is low risk but the parents on buses is a concern? Give your head a wobble

    Low ICU and low death rate....interesting...suggests we keep elderly and vulnerable under lock and key...open up everything else...

    A lot of vulnerable people have to work to live unfortunately.

    Simple

    Not really
    Dublin has over 1 million people. If you do that(which im not against) then you have impacted the entire country

    Stop travel outside dublin. Okay that means every hotel in the county will lose on adverage 1/3 of its booking. Will this make it so its not worth some hotels opening else where

    Close hotels. Then everybody else in the country who was going to dublin is effected.
    Have several hundred thousand people going to Dublin for work
    All of this and not really effective
    Easier and more effective to do it nation wide

    Only 6 in ICU. That's what's important and no deaths for 2 weeks.

    How do we know there have been no deaths? People keep missing this point. The last death notified was from June. So that suggests a big lag in notification of deaths. If any have recently occured they may not be notified for another 2/3 months or am I wrong?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,135 ✭✭✭blowitupref


    114 more cases this week compared last week but a lot more testing done this week. How much more won't be known until tomorrow I'd reckon close to 10,000 more.

    The good news is to have two weeks without a death and single figures in ICU.

    They could have mandatory quarantine for anyone flying in from Covid hot-spots. Anyone caught being out and about gets fined (barring the usual people who are exempt - essential workers, etc). Covid test after 5 days quarantine - negative and you’re good to go. Holiday season is over, so there’ll be far less people travelling now anyway, and a lot of people are working from home, so won’t affect them either. Germany are doing it, I don’t see why we would be unable to enforce it. The Germans suspect their rise is cases is due to international travel during the summer months, so they’re getting tough on it. I would suspect it’s also played a big part in our rise in cases.

    But sure we’ll just make sure pubs/restaurants keep a record or all food consumed for 28 days, and not let anyone attend an outdoor football match. That’ll solve everything :rolleyes:

    Actually love your insult to be fair. “Give your head a wobble” credit where due

    What i mean is, if children going to school may have a relatively low risk, but if more kids are in school, more people will be in work, more people using public transport ect

    The “quarantine” rule from the start has been a disaster
    Well, if a garda through all the recipts for the last 28 days in a restaurant, at least he should now whats good to have there :)
