I remember the press conference well, 15 questions about the difference homeware and hardware. :rolleyes:

I was in several hardware stores the week they were open, no where did I see any section closed off.

I was in no homeware stores because these were all closed.

Where did all this actually happen?

I remember at the time Homestore+More had a lot of its stuff cut off, eg the Nutgrove store had the kitchen utensils/cutlery area railed-off but storage boxes/seating etc was accessible. It was a bit peculiar really, because nearly all of that store's products would come under the banner of home-ware. I think they just about got away with opening at all at the time.

Are hotels affected if Dublin goes to level 3 .. we have night booked next week after putting it off for months. We are traveling from Laois.

ACitizenErased · 16-09-2020 03:03PM

It appears there is some sort of outbreak in Ballincollig in Cork.
Ballincollig GAA have suspended play.
Second case confirmed at Colaiste Choilm.
Another case identified at Gaelscoil Uí Ríordáin in Ballincollig just now.

No, they'll still be operating and will be mad for your money so bring plenty.

Better than yesterday's 310 positive swabs from 8,120 tests - 3.8% positivity rate

Unfortunately, upon your return from Dublin you'll have to self isolate for 14 days. We are on the red list.

I wonder what is the problem with Dublin?

Is the rise in cases due to the capital being built up or is it from people ignoring the guidelines? If its from people ignoring the guidelines and having large house gatherings, putting Dublin under further restrictions isn't going to work. It will probably harm businesses especially small, hospitality businesses.

I don't think that is the case .
It is a busy , densely populated hub , even at the present time .
Rising cases and community transmission are obviously going to affect the most populated areas first due to multiple contacts .
A lot of Food Pubs in the city are not sticking to the guidelines from what I have seen and heard..no SD , no food , and no masks, and worst of all no policing of this !
I know some will come on here denying this , but this is what we are up against , a strong pro pub lobby who don't give a sxxx ..not all houseparties, although some of these are an issue too.

Maybe someone can make some sense from these numbers on how they make up the confirmed numbers
Date|Tested Positive|Briefing Positive

11/9/2020|227|211
12/9/2020|250|159

14/09/2020|476|208
15/09/2020|310|357
16/09/2020|272|

not taking into account mentioned carry over of 73 from last thur re benimar

a. add 31 to restrospective test + blank and we have 272 brief today
b. had zero to blank test + and add 272 and 31=303 to brief today
or

c 272 test+ today and announce lower at brief and add to 73+31backlog

d. 272 test+ today and announce higher at brief adding some of the 31 and 73 backlog

doing that in my head so check with calculator

caveat numbers not my thing

Feck that, get your degree online now while there is no life to be living. He can have all the fun he wants when this thing eases and he'll have a year or two study in the bag.

It's interesting to see specific locations reported now. Know through word of mouth it's inevitable media find out but remember NPHET being very against it at the very start.

Could I ask a question (apologies if this has already been discussed, this thread moves very fast

)

If Dublin goes to level 3 and the rest of the country is at level 2, am I allowed to go to Dublin to meet with my best friend?

The program states:
Domestic travel
Stay in your county (or other defined geographical area) apart from work, education and other essential purposes, if appropriate.

But what about the other way around?

Wasn't this always the case once we didn't go for a zero-Covid approach? It was about managing infection without letting the hospitals become overwhelmed (not "herd immunity", long-term flattening of the curve). It's the difference between going down a steep hill by tapping the brakes and not braking at all.

We know from experience in other countries that we can keep the fatality rate low if hospitals have space and people get good care. But if we run out of hospital beds then the fatality rate will increase (this was the original problem back in Wuhan).

Yes but I can't accept deaths as a trade off for my prosperity, for survival maybe .

the freedom and fun of those college years living away from home especially, is never really replicated imo as no matter where u are u will invariably be working.

the j1s are also a massive loss although i beleive they are less popular nowadays.

Exactly, there isn't much else to be doing anyway!

Also, and whisper it quietly, what if things are no better next September?... (I'm not saying they won't be before I'm attacked, I'm just posing the question)

But many people will accept a certain number of deaths. And as we're not pursuing a zero covid approach then deaths are inevitable. Its just a question of how many deaths are deemed acceptable

Yes they are missing out .
But these are not first years . Those are in more than that but not sure of how much .

They have lot of friends made and can go out with these groups .
Some are staying up and working .
J1s have been a disaster since Trump got at them . Slave labour .

Some quite large differences through Dublin. On one hand you've Dublin South below national average and Dublin North 100 over national average

16-09-2020 03:35PM

When you look at trajectory of this it is very depressing. Maybe virus has weakened but it's clear we need a lockdown/greater restrictions especially in Dublin. Cases are rising in all parts of the country. Dublin is a sign of what is waiting for the rest of our counties.

Would it be affected by the location of the hospital that one is tested in ?

Beaumont has the most hospital cases in the country .
