Wexford is interesting

Overan with Dublin people for months and very low cases

Outdoors activities, people going back to their holiday homes and not mixing indoors I'd say. Outdoors is so much safer than indoors.

It doesn't mention he's positive

It did a few minutes ago. Saw it myself and was on the ticker on the channel. They must have realised their mistake

ICU still perfectly fine.

I'm as much against lockdown etc as anyone but the way our health system crashes from Oct-Feb we will be in awful bother with an excess of even 50 in ICU due to covid.

Who gets priority at that stage?

Do HSE still publish the combination of non covid and covid Icu totals?

I've a friend who's married to a nurse, she said at least half the cases are people with sprained legs but are put down as covid, nothing to worry about...

Getting closer to your 500, have you the lube and champagne ready......

I'm sure he can pull a string or two. They don't take that long if your swab is brought straight to a lab with priority.

Good to see their are acting responsibly. Donnelly showing up today while having Covid symptoms is probably worse than Dominic Cummings actions a few months ago.

I just said this on another thread, the one dedicated to the cabinet having to isolate, but what's crazy to me about this is- this was not a scenario nobody ever envisaged! The last government spent months trying to prevent this very thing from happening by meeting in groups divided into two, never all together, just so they WOULDN'T all be taken out at once like this. Leo and Simon C were almost never in the same room from mid March until sometime in June so they were giving themselves every chance of the two never being taken out at the same time, and so the Tanaiste would be able to take over from the Taoiseach if he got sick or had to self-isolate. In fact, I think my very first post on here was about that, explaining to someone what they were doing who was wondering why Simon was suddenly never at press conferences with Leo anymore. They KNEW this could happen!

He only felt unwell during press conference, may not have had any symptoms beforehand, lynch mob stand down.

I heard him this morning on the radio and I said to someone in work he sounds like he's coughing a good bit.

That was 920am
