No truck with FF at all, least of all those who chose to go into the coven from Independence, but FF welcomed these people in.

But we are all exposed.

My wonder is that everything will be closed down now in Cabinet, or wherever the heck he was.

But my spidey senses hope he is is fine, but this is an opportunity to keep them all out of sight. Sorry for that now, cannot help it.

In relation to SDs suspected Covid status, isn’t it very convenient that the entire cabinet can now avoid answering questions on their mish-mash of a plan and the car-crash of a presentation of it.
Has Covid now mutated into a different strain called Political Covid?

7 day moving average 202! - doubled in two weeks.

ACitizenErased · 15-09-2020 06:28PM

While the hospital numbers at the moment are obviously quite 'high' it's worth noting that current numbers are about 7% of peak.

How does this 310 tie in with the 357 number today?

Basically, if all positives were being announced the next day we would have had 310 cases announced today. 357 is obviously higher, but hardly demonstrates a deliberate tactic of holding back numbers...especially as there is potentially another 70 out there they could have included.

There was a point prior to our first peak when numbers were low too.

Who isn't following guidelines?

As they stand, these guidelines are doing nothing to suppress the virus. Don't blame the people living in Dublin, blame the virus and its ability to spread.

The virus wouldn't spread if the people of Dublin obeyed the rules. Strange it's working well in most of the other counties

We only have 537 ICU beds.

Its pathetic how few we have.

Interestingly some of the poorer country in Europe like Romania are up,at the higher end.

There has to be some different criteria as to what defines a critical care bed in different counties based in that chart. Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway all at the lower end is surprising

The increase we are seeing now is not even comparable to the almost vertical increase in March.

It would, as the rules aren't enough to limit the spread. The same is happening across the continent.

The heavy beast is on RTÉ news pretty much asked for level 3 for BAC

There was much more cases then though, we just weren't capturing them. We're not near there yet but it will go that way.

Yes in turn we shall commission a PR company to handle the mess

And go off on full paid sick leave when we spectacularly fvck up!

I wonder is this what the PR crowd have recommended and all this just a cover?
Getting a bit close to conspiracy theories here , but I see already people feeling sorry for a health minister who doesn't seem to understand the basics of what he is meant to be dealing with ....
Zero sympathy for him !

Yep, but 13 in ICU is no great cause for concern.

Except for those people. But I get your meaning.
Still 26 days ago on August 20th hospital numbers were 16 and ICU was 6 people.
Now it is 68 and 13. (x 4 and x 2)
It would not be nice in 26 more days, on the 11th of october or so, to have 272 in hospital with Covid.

which is why I asked pre plan that was it going to be based on ICU beds etc in each county, taking into consideration what golden girl said about patient transfers.

Given a mean incubation of 7 days an estimate on R0 would still be just under 1.5. Recoverable

So I make it Dublin accounting for 61 % of the cases announced today. And explain to me again how Dublin is level 2 again ? I don’t care what county it is in the country if it needs to go into lockdown it needs to be be in lock down. It worked for Kildare, Offaly, and Laois.

Ah now in fairness its level 2 and a bit!

Still not sure how you're comparing uncontrolled community transmission across the entire country with right now

I'm not comparing then to now, you are. I'm saying we're much earlier in the game.

You've answered your own question.

I don't think people in Dublin are doing any less social distancing than anywhere else. It's just you get away with it more in other towns / cities because there's fewer people.

Also the demographic's and social behavior, transport and work patterns etc. are different outside the big cities.

Can anyone who actually heard the radio interview actually clarify if it's true?

The way social media works all it takes is one person to say "apparently he was coughing on the radio" and it becomes fact, spread all around social media as fact. May not actually be true.

Anyone?
