IS the backlog of confirmed cases included in todays numbers or are there more to be added to tomorrows tally?

From what I’m reading seemingly now this craic is on the rise as charities/sellers are aware that people are in their home for more of the day than usual. Hence a captive audience... probably banking on people throwing a few bob to make them disappear than be rude.

It's probably a failing on my part but I take some pleasure in opening the door to such people purely to tell them that I only give to charities who don't call to the door. But, yes, you're right, most people prefer not be rude.

What's Monty Python about it?
Zero funny about it.

It's definitely dark humour.

Our politicians are saying open up pubs in two weeks on a day we have 300 cases. Anybody with a brain knew they should not have made such an announcement as this was brewing for weeks. It's kite flying by politicians who know they are not really in control of this at all. There is a certain humour in watching politicians talk utter rubbish and then have to eat humble pie.

What's Month Python about opening the pubs where infection levels are low and keeping them closed where infections are high? Perhaps if it was the opposite way around, it might make for a sketch but I'm baffled at how making decisions based on levels of risk is somehow funny or whacky

Announcing opening pubs when we have 300 cases reported( the highest in about 4 months). There was a day in July were I think we had 4 cases but it was too dangerous to open pubs then.

OK?

Gardai will not have checkpoints. During the LOKdown, there were no checkpoints, you could leave your home for work, ANY work.
Also:

Indoor/Outdoor gatherings

A maximum of 15 people has been set for those gathering outdoors, with strict physical distancing rules expected to be in place, while indoor gatherings are limited to just six people with no more than three households in total.

That was in kildare, offaly and laois last month

Drive thru Kildare while it was locked down and there were checkpoints at slip roads onto the N4 and M4. Basically the two slip roads that if you were taking them would lead you into Dublin or Meath

So you think absolutely nobody in Dublin or Limerick would follow the restrictions people in Kildare, Offlay and Laois did? That's a sad reflection on the people of those counties.

Well Jim , I would think 99% will follow restrictions , if nothing else but to get out of lockdown .
I don't know why that poster is posting such negativity

OK?

Let's be fair, there would have been parties in the streets and stuff to make St. Patrick's Day look like a toddler's birthday if they reacted so quickly. NHPET were too slow about insisting on masks indoors though over the summer. Maybe having 3 instead of 2 week phases was also a bit over the top but probably a symptom of lack of test capacity available to measure the success of reopening.

Yes, I hate that term, what brain cell challenged dweeb came up with that phrase.... what’s wrong with ‘food pub’ & ‘non food pub’......

Whether it came from it or not, it's unfortunately like the term wet-house. A place where alcoholics can drink safely, and be kind of looked after.

Wonder will Irish Gov do the same. We should probably tell them to stop being so negative. The power of positive thought

Will this be eventually classed as a disability if people aren't recovering and can't work?

Past 6 days: 971 swabs vs 972 cases, so pretty close.
That's not to say there will be 200 swabs tomorrow and only 50 new cases announced, leading to a bigger number than expected on Thursday. It's all over the place. Media only pay attention to the high numbers.

For comparison, below is the number of cases by the Epidemiological date, which is as close to the date of infection they can get (removes all the reporting lag)
We haven't broken 200 infections a day yet, it's the backlog that's providing the mass panic.

And last weeek they were telling us keeping pubs closed and limiting contact was important for keeping schools open. Story keeps changing to suit public opinion.
This is a government which are not in control

In continental europe they don't really do wet bars like wee do.

They eat a meal have one or two drinks and go home.

Maybe the health authorities are telling us what they think of our "Craic pubs". Places to only drink in. Nothing more with no health benefits after 1 or 2 drinks max in wet bars. Restaurants already open. Similar to continental Europe.

Haha, would stop quick enough if everyone answered the door like Basil Fawlty and said " pxxx off ! " and slammed it shut !

10% report symptoms lasting more than four weeks, it’s going to kill us all

The other day I asked if any of you knew of any good public prediction models to mess around with.
None of you obliged, so what follows is your own fault. I made my own.

It's very rudimentary, as is my knowhow with Python. Anyways all this shows is the current trajectory of the virus on a logarithmic scale.
I chucked in the trend-lines by hand so I'm open to correction on them, but if they're off they're not off by a lot and so the general gist will remain the same - we're in trouble.

I wouldn't use this to make any sort of accurate prediction of course, but if we continue at our current rate of doubling we'll find ourselves in hot water before too long.
And of course the data here is yet to show the impact of opening schools, colleges and pubs. I'd expect the doubling time to go down, but couldn't possibly guess by how much.

Has anyone from NPHET explained why now would be a good time to open the ‘Damp’ Pubs. It’s very difficult to follow the logic, (if there is any). Is there any scientific basis to it or are they just following the mob like they did on masks.
I have come to the conclusion that NPHET is made up of people who have no more idea about how to deal with this virus than than any random person you might meet in a pub, (if they were open). They are like a blind man with a blunderbus firing off salvos in any random direction hoping he’ll hit something.

How long will it take people to realise the masks turnaround was more to do with supply and prioritisation rather than the science.
