What are the Dublin numbers? Rumour is that it’s v high? When can we expect lockdown?

Dublin will be under increased restrictions from tomorrow evening I suspect, once the Government have published their new plan.

I can point you to the dictionary definition of anecdote if that helps? Or would you prefer to believe the radio

It really isn't. He would be able view the patients record and previous test results and the test that confirmed reinfection. There will need to be genomic sequencing to confirm the circumstance and strains but this is far more than anecdotal.

Any interview = anecdote.

Is there a paper on it? Show me the paper and I'll read it.

What? Pointing out something is anecdote is a neutral stance. I never denied it's true?

He could be lying for all I know but that's not the point I was making

It matters.A story from a well respected newspaper is obviously much more credible than an anecdotal forum post/whats app rumor. Their is much more accountability with the newspaper story.

So what about the doctors in Italy that suggested virus was potentially weakening, they were well respected heads of infectious disease units but some posters here dismissed it as anecdotal.

Works both ways really doesn't it ? Same in this situation

No no no that can't be true Stephen!!!!

Some on here have zero issue "de-bunking" other's posts but when it happens to them there's uproar... Funny.

It won't be a lockdown. They've moved away from that phrase. A lockdown was what we had in March and April.

It'll be restrictions on households mixing is what it looks like. Not sure how effective that'll be alone but we'll see

Haven't seen today's numbers, but Dublin is at 92.3 cases per 100k, for the last 14 days. Today's numbers will almost certainly see that increase.

The new roadmap being released tomorrow will have Dublin at a level higher than the rest of the country, most likely at a Level 3, which will mean a slightly higher level of restrictions than the rest of the country. If the numbers keep rising, it's quite likely that a Level 4 isn't a million miles away. That involves distance limits, as far as I've read.

Yeah what are they on about!
We’ve had this 8 months now. So effectively one season

8 months.. 1 season.. ?

Must be a long 32 month year where you're living.

You are not immune to a cold or a flu. It varies season to season. They know that immunity with other corona viruses is not robust. Why would this one be any different? If that were the case everyone would have had a coronavirus cold exactly once in their life ( per virus )

You do gain immunity to every flu you get, but the flu mutates pretty quickly and cross immunity is limited. Happily every bit of evidence we have suggests that a corona virus's mutate much more slowly than the flu. This is good news for a vaccine too.

There is also evidence to suggest some limited cross immunity between corona virus's, which would explain why some people seem to be practically immune anyway.

So basically, everything you said there is incorrect, and goes against everything we know about this virus and about how our immune systems work.

I’d wait a year before I’d say you can’t get reinfected.

Have fun in your cave.

My young chap (6) had a bit of a cough last week with no temp or any other symptoms. We kept him off school to be safe and rang the GP and he was booked in for a test within 2 hours. Testing centre was full of kids with sniffles, coughs, temps etc, so they're being ultra cautious with schools opening and testing so much as a clear of the throat! We had the results (negative) the next day, so we didn't have to isolate for too long.

He gets a coughs the whole time though...so it could be a long winter!!

Its crazy people with 3 or 4 kids at home could be staying home from work for a hell of a lot of days waiting for negative results

Very informative thread. All reports backed up with great data
