They're not "my" figures. I applied what I presumed was your method for your calculation to highlight the difference between July and today. I wasn't suggesting it was a method that deserved any further thought.

You posted them. Im guessing you don't understand the math.

Thank god. We need to get a handle on this disease.

Random healthcare related anecdote.

I've transported a number of young babies in recent months and I've heard several times now from SCBU and Paeds nurses that babies in their care have not learned how to smile at a normal age due to face masks.

These would be kids who wouldn't really be home for months after they're born due to health or social issues, or e.g premature babies so nurses are essentially are the only faces they see.

I don't know yet if there's any research into how this will effect development. Funnily enough one of the babies about 6months old had amazing eye expressions going on. Again, not sure if related but it'd make sense if eyes are all they are absorbing.

But it's so heartbreaking to see it.

Slightly related but under the new 5/6/7 point plan(i may be open to correction) partners are not allowed in the delivery room for the birth for any level.

School in Cellbridge closed down after "further cases" have been identified.

Weasel words galore. How many? Must be a lot to close the whole school down.

Of course there is economic damage. And damage to people's well being. But that is as a consequence of a novel virus that caught us completely by surprise.
As we have opened up after lockdown the amount of virus has slowly but steadily increased. Of late small numbers of deaths have started again and hospital numbers are increasing. Gradually the virus will start to affect increasing numbers of people more likely to be made quite ill and also more people who will die. Over the next couple of months the numbers in Intensive Care Units, general hospital and the numbers of deaths are very likely to increase to a level where it will be unconscionable for a government to allow the virus to blindly run its course and it is likely there will be serious restrictions again to curb its effect. Those in charge cannot leave an historical legacy of unfettered viral deaths and unknown future morbidity in the population.
These are all just pragmatic facts and bleats about the econony or mental health will not be able to defend against reality.
I know it is hard to believe this is the way things are. It has been tricky all the way along to make the mental adjustment to what has happened. That does not change the realness of what is, what has been and what will be. And all this is of course just my opinion. I happen to think it is reasonaby realistic. Things may change later. After Winter. Instant tests and effective medicine that disrupts the harm from the virus are what I hope for.

We've had the movies and we even had scientists say this was going to happen but the way the world is it's not set up to deal with the likes of this.
I don't see things going back to the way they were fully, there will be a legacy and with any luck there will be some good changes to come out of it.

Okay, I'll bite.

It's possible I misinterpreted where you were getting your number from. Where did your 1 in 20000 here come from then, if not approximately dividing today's cases by the population?

For a bit of perspective, today you had a 1 in 20000 chance of catching covid

Some in Bundoran - not massively surprising. Presumably some elsewhere in the country - this "privacy" bs of not telling anyone where cases are is a pain.

Hi Ficheall, out of interest where did you hear about Bundoran?

It's for Dublin only, unfortunately for the doomers.

(Probably could call up to him, as he's only down the road, either way.)

exactly this isn't going to magically end with a vaccine. this will slowly but surely become the status quo for us

I don't know about status quo. It is very likely a good medicine will be found. The vaccine? - I am very wary of a vaccine that would not take years of rigorous testing for safety. But there may well be a good treatment found. And instant home testing would be a game changer. Quite likely too.

So now we're back to saying that the 2m and 105min guidelines that we've been adhering too aren't actually safe at all.

I am pretty sure that is level 4?

Dublin will be moving from level 2 to level 3.
They still haven't announced the differences

So much for level 2/3/4 etc.

Total shambles

alentejo · 17-09-2020 09:08PM

So indoor dining in Dublin out. Could be next year before they open again .

At the same time, pubs outside Dublin will be open.

Huge Dublin rest of the country difference emerging.

Has it not always been that way, except now it's the other way around?

it's awful, there's really nothing to be smiling about these days anyway it's like being back in late March

Babies are resilient little things. I'm sure they'll be just fine.
But not going to lie it does make me despair a bit to hear a 6 month hasn't smiled yet. They should be smiling from 6-12 weeks as a sign of social greeting.

Alls I wanted to do was take off my face mask and smile.

Actually makes me tear up thinking of it now.

I'm generally a fairly positive person throughout this though. I'm a glass half full and silver lining kind of person. But there are some trying moments.

To think this time last year we knew nothing.

Indeed. And about time we hold on to the money in Dublin that has been transferred to the regions for the last 100 years.

This feels worse that March / April.

I am really upset about the closure of cafes and eateries.
