They're probably in school with Polish, Lithuanian, Nigerian kids etc as well... Not just Irish kids.

Have just indeed heard that the Waterford cases are in fact a meat plant. Shocker.

Which one?

Dawn Meats Grannagh I believe

Gael23 · 17-09-2020 05:14PM

Majority of cases reported in Watertord over the past week are linked to one meat plant

ACitizenErased · 17-09-2020 05:15PM

What a surprise that serial meat plant testing stops and a large cluster appears, nobody could have ever predicted that

THE Waterford News & Star can confirm that Dawn Meats Beef plant in Grannagh has a “significant” cluster of Covid-19 cases with numbers believed to be between “at least 3o”.

The company have still not officially commented on the outbreak to any media outlet but the news has become known to senior political figures who have confirmed the information to the Waterford News & Star.

We have repeatedly contacted the company for comment but none has been forthcoming.

We understand that the other plant, Dawn Pork & Bacon have no confirmed cases at this point.

Children born to Brazilian parents or Brazilian and Irish parents can be Irish too for what it's worth

But the 50% even case load is only one day and 3 of the past 14 days have had a higher percentage of new cases in the rest of the country. The 7 day average in terms of percentages of cases Dublin vs rest of country is running at 55%-56% for the past 7 days, the previous 7 days to that it was 47%-52%.

I thinking the figures for Dublin relative to the rest of the country will very slowly start to change. I know one swallow doesn't make a summer!

What was the point in the lockdown back in March? Cases are rising now and the government will let the covid infection flow and rise and point to a 5 point plan that they may or may not implement.

I would have always thought that the factory is actually located in Kilkenny but I assume the people who work there live in Waterford.

Totally out of control in Spain again, over 400 deaths in the last 48 hours, 1330 in ICU. I do not undertsand how this can happen with restrictions, so much testing, hygiene awareness, how can cases grow to this extent that so many people are dying again. I don't get it at all how they have been taken by surprise by COVID yet again after having learned so much from March and April.

I couldn't actually believe it when i heard parts of Spain had opened up nightclubs a few months back. As bad as this government is let's be thankful they aren't that thick.

NPHET have advised Dublin go to Level 3 it will be discussed at cabinet tomorrow and announced in the afternoon

What will waiting until tomorrow achieve?

I reckon NPHET have been banging on about Dublin a lot longer than we are being told but were ignored by Government.

At least when Glynn is pushed on why x. y. or Z wasn't done he says we can only advise on medical grounds, but when MM is pushed on any issue he immediately blames NPHET.

To protect the health system and save lives. That was not sustainable nor necessary. Higher cases are not unexpected but we need to do a reset in what we are doing in general.

Which is bizarre as it's on the Kilkenny side of the river and not the Waterford part of Ferrybank.

Whatever about Ireland, the trend across Europe is really worrying.

There are now more weekly cases than there were back during the peak in March.

The number of weekly coronavirus cases has exceeded the infections reported when the pandemic first peaked in Europe in March, the World Health Organization has warned.

"We have a very serious situation unfolding before us," the organisation's Europe director said in a press conference on Thursday.

Hans Kluge added that September's figures should serve as a "wake-up call" for European governments, as the region's weekly tally reached 300,000 patients last week.

WHO warns of 'very serious situation' in Europe

Pretty sure they use the home address of the infected and thats linked to the county number
