I think it is shocking how many people in Ireland have preventable underlying conditions. We are an extremely unhealthy country and getting worse.

I think you'll find it'll be grand.

Im feeling a sense of panic is the voice of the receptionist in my local surgery. Took ages to get through and could hear the phones hopping in the background.

Doctor usually makes a house call at lunchtime or after surgery to change my dads catheter. I get the catheter then ring up the surgery and book in house call with the receptionist. This has been the same procedure before and throughout the pandemic including last week.

Not today though. I now have to wait for the doctor to call me back. Receptionist sounded like she was reading from a script as she knows me, knows what I’m calling about but kept to the lines. She sounded stressed tbh which I can understand with the phones hopping in the background.

eh... maybe somebody is out and she is handling all calls by herself today, could be any number of reasons the "phones are hopping" and/or she is stressed

300 cases. Christ that is a lot.

What do you find strange and I will endeavour to address it?

119 positive swabs in last 24 hours from 6678 tests. Positivity rate 1.78%.

I honestly think there’ll be restrictions in Dublin by Monday. 180 cases on a single day is completely unsustainable.

I'll be honest, my memory of things that happens in boards threads is patchy at best given the fact that I have actual stuff going on.

It's just a weird thing to say, implies "I'm watching you". Creepy.

€50 charity bet (loser donates €50 to a charity) says that wet pubs will be fine and there will be no reintroduction of any restrictions in wet pubs between now and the end of the year once they are reopened.

In any location?

To be honest i don't care either way. I personally ate and drank out (less frequently in wet bars) mostly before pandemic so I am probably biased. I just doubt a bar can turn a profit in a pandemic without endangering public health. These rural pubs were on their knees before hand. How could they turn a profit in a pandemic? Most of them relied on their big Saturday nights packed like sardines. All profit made for the week in about 6 hours. This business model is a busted flush for the next12 months. Food and drink is the way forward.

I agree with you, you are biased.
Four pubs within three miles of my rural home. All have survived up to March.
Those that struggled are primarily in areas that have been decimated by emigration or movement to larger urban areas.

They were flying kites about it on the news earlier. Something is coming. Think it'll be done before Monday.

No something feels off.

My dad is housebound and in all the uncertainty from March onwards I’d always ring and the receptionist would just add him to the list for house calls that day. The doctor ringing me back won’t change what will happen. This has been normal since 2017.

Looking more and more likely. Probably takeaway only from cafes/restaurants/pubs, close cinemas and anything similar. They might do travel restrictions but I'd guess that would be tricky in relation to Dublin and would rely heavily on the honour system.

The people making these calls behind the scenes know it's not 180 today though. How many of the 160+ leftovers from the last few days were from Dublin, you know? It's 180 today but they're not all from today. I reckon they'll do everything they can to avoid restrictions on Dublin.

I disagree. They can’t let the numbers in Dublin continue. RTE say that cabinet are seriously considering restrictions.

With 0 deaths in weeks and 6 in ICU, can we afford the economic damage at this point?

Is it a single day though, 60+ of those could be from the backlog ?

Needs a proper plan for it to sustainable. Opening all pubs in lets say Leitrim could go fine. Somewhere like temple bar in Dublin obviously much more challenging. If their was a bad outbreak in many pubs then all could be made suffer which is obviously unfair. I think they will probably keep pubs closed in Dublin and Limerick and regions with high transmission. Probably will look at Green and Red zones moving forward. Yes I know its bad before anyone thinks I get some sort of pleasure of stating this. Hopefully by May next year their will be a good vaccine. Science do seem to be making encouraging progress lately even Dr John has come out with some promising video's. Usual no bias with his video's

I know they're out of hand alright recently... I just never expected them to really go for it because the fallout of Dublin restrictions would be a complete nightmare, and they're dealing with enough nightmares at the moment!

I'd love to see the actual daily breakdown for Dublin for the last two weeks to see how steady or volatile the daily tallies really are. They've butchered the reporting process up so much now we can't know what's what with the trends in Dublin.

These four pubs are selling food I take it. Thats my point what's opened now is sustainable. Anything that hasn't opened is busted already. Their business model no longer exists for the next 6 to 12 months.

Yet on virgin media its reporting that any recommendations on restrictions are not of immediate cause for concern. They are "A while away" from recommending any sort of restrictions

ChikiChiki · 08-09-2020 02:50PM

I'm expecting local lockdown restrictions in North Central Dublin off another bad round of numbers. You would only have to walk through it anyway and you would understand why there is a jump in cases. Lots of tenament conditions and people living on top of each other aswell. A lot of people just not giving a ****.

It's doable by blocking the bridges between the liffey and the Tolka.

I had sent it to a mod so it was in my pms, not much to it.

ninebeanrows · 08-09-2020 02:50PM

116 swabs today, the 308 today clearly back log.

No way they doing anything major in way of lock down in Dublin or they would face serious revolt.

They could try tweak a few measures to be seen to be doing something; perhaps reduce house visitors to one family and maybe stronger recommendations to the >70s.

I cannot see them touching bars and restaurants in the capital or there would be uproar.

I can't see them doing anything across all of Dublin. They might look at particular areas within Dublin where there is a problem.

let that sink in

That life expectancy is from birth, though. If you've made it to 68, your life expectancy is 84 and you have a ~98% chance of surviving another year. If you're 68 and you get covid, you have a ~96% chance of surviving another month.
