This will happen in some cases, but on average, as with any cluster, the source will emerge

Well no it won't.

We have had at least 600 maybe even as high as 900 instances of unknown community transmission in the past fortnight.

The only real place we are tracking the majority at the moment are private households, obviously the easiest to trace.

There seems to be a narrative being peddled that we have a sophisticated track and trace system, we don't.

And the reality is if we using the same system in schools, clusters will not be identified because the variables will not allow it in most instances.

From what I am hearing personally and in the media about the level of tracing, we will need to hire contact tracers to track down the contact tracers.

If it wasn't so serious it would be funny.

Preaching to everyone to take personal responsibility and not go into work with symptoms and contact your GP.
The CMO had to tell him

Would love to have been a socially distanced fly on the wall during that conversation.

Imagine being the Chief Medical Officer of a country and having to tell the Minister for Health to go home and call his GP.

If he does test positive he's surely have to resign.

Government spokesperson says there was an error in the level 3 guidelines published earlier. Clarifies that restaurants WILL remain open - with added restrictions - for indoor dining. This includes "wet" pubs.

Both can remain open at level 3.

Except not in Dublin at the moment when it comes to "wet" pubs

If backlog cases are included 414 is the max amount of cases I count that could be reported tonight.

I wonder if the British idea of "social bubbles" gain more traction? Each household effectively only meets with a short list of about 2-3 other households during the length of the restrictions. If three families are in the same bubble, then they can meet at the same time. And as most people have siblings, there'd be a good bit of overlap in the bubbles.

As it stands right now, people can meet as many people as they want just not together.

Donnelly never really got off the ground as a minister for health which is probably why we are seeing less of him. The trampoline comments ruined his credibility early on.

Is there a NPHET presser this evening or do they need the permission of the new watchdog commitee to have one

Yes. But only if both parties have done the safe pass course in forklift driving. Obviously.

Is full licence needed or learner permit allowed?

Its a non story in relation to schools. Hysteria around schools is poisoning the discourse in this country and stopping parents sending children to school.

I know NOBODY who is not sending their kids to school.
If you do then you are mixing with some silly people.
Stop trying to make something out of a simple statement of fact.

What about all those parents who wont get holidays until the 23rd but will have kids off from the 10th

Have you not been working from home? Or maybe you have been but are no longer? Could you work from home the last 10 working days? Could you company shift your xmas break early at least for some of you?

If the government had put xmas in the plan they could have shifted the xmas holidays for everyone.

It wont cover all familys as some people have always worked over the xmas. In one particular job I had, I worked every xmas, which gave time off to those with kids. MY post is a starting point of a discussion that the government should have had, over the last month.

If you are able to give us a general idea of your work/family situation, maybe we all here, could see what other creative but within the guide lines options there are, with keeping everyone safe as top priority.

PS over a month ago myself and friends were discussing Halloween/Samhain and ideas to do it safely, cant believe the government forgot Christmass

I know 10-15 families whose kids aren't going to school. Simply because they're scared.

School is a horrible prospect without any virus to think about

The one from Ballincollig in Cork is another non-story, not a single person in the school has been deemed a close contact and the school remains open as normal.

Well that is good but I would like to know if even one child in a school any of my kids were in tested positive, the media can't name the child so instead names the school

I'm not a parent, just an auntie and I'm more anxious and nervous about kids in school than the kids parents

In fairness , I don't think Minister Donnelly has quite understood anything since he started , from dangers of bouncy play to symptoms of Covid , so he should be given some easier work to do , and give the job to a person with a little more cop on .

The last thing they want to do at this nadir of popularity is to cancel even more things! I think they want to avoid even thinking about it but I'd say October for a Hallowe'en decision and November for Christmas.
