Hospitalisations and disease is concentrated in Dublin - Prof Nolan

Yes but more and more clusters popping up around the country. Donegal quite high today and louth reporting a fair few each day now.

Biggest hosptials and biggest population in Dublin so of course its going to have more in hosptial

19 people died on our roads last September, time to shut them down too.

Is there a reason why the screen they are talking about has never been projected onto our screen, even split screen. Can't make it out where it is

Camera can't really zoom in on that side. If he's in the middle it can but rarely does.

Hospitals and deaths rising, albeit slowly.
Worrying.

Are any of these deaths coming from our ICU numbers, are they even going to hospital. Be interesting to know.

I can't find the press conference at all. The periscope link el posted isn't working. It's not on Twitter or RTE. Where are people watching it?

Rte News Now also if you can get near a TV.

What is this level 3?, is it close all restaurants and pubs? Shut down hospital appointments for any other appointments other than very urgent cases? How many have died this year that would have survived with earlier diagnosis and treatment?
Hospital and ICU numbers are still very low despite positive cases increasing

I've said this before. NPHETs press conference is taking place live on RTE's news channel. Prof Nolan is speaking by referring to slides that are terribly hard to see. This has been going on all year and nobody has the wit to display the slides in the way Andrew Cuomo, for example, did in his presentations. I wonder about their expertise if they cannot get this simple detail correct or that nobody in NPHET thinks this is something we need to remedy.

Am I right in saying that today (61%) is one of the highest close contact percentages in recent weeks?

There's not a single flicker of light at the end of this, it's day after day of trying to push back a wave that just keeps coming, nothing can realitically be done about it as there's too many arseholes living and travelling to this country to stop the spread. Either start locking up and fining people or give up this game.

what process is in place for verifying these reported death numbers? based on the profile of people who got the disease in recent months, the amount of people in hospitals, the amoint of cases etc, compared to the death count in other countries, they just dont make sense.
