This was the problem that the famous, all-singing, all-dancing, app was supposed to do. The app was yet another expensive supposed solution to all our problems.
I’m surprised none of the journalists ask about it at these pressers.

Be interesting to see the figures around the app and how they tie in to figures. As the location is not stored and if someone was on a bus and infected a dozen others and they all had the app installed. When the initial person uploads their contacts and the people on the bus are alerted and get tested and if any are positive.... Technically it would be classed as community transmission as the app doesn't store the location.

Very vague talk about outside dining but quickly palmed off to councils.

No, it's 6 outside/other people from the one household - in addition to your own

The guidelines says 6 people MAX.

Do you reckon the lockdowns will have ended by then?

It'll be the new normal or at that stage just normality.

Quite an improved briefing on what's been served up in recent times and Martin a lot better than he's been.

On that table numbers have doubled in the last 12 days.

Back in April numbers doubled every 3 days at one stage. That was expontial growth in the context of covid 19.

Like several politicans you also seem clueless about what expontial growth is in relation to covid 19.

Interesting that there was absolutely nothing in his speech about travel, airports, testing, along travelers come in untested, travel unrestricted and untraced.

This is the elephant in the room for me.

All the strict restrictions are to stop people movement, but when it’s international travel we are not strict on people’s movement.

Could you have 6 people in your front garden and 6 people in the back garden?

Boggles · 18-09-2020 07:02PM

Taoiseach says since schools returned there have been many referrals for tests for those aged under 10, but the positivity rate is very low, and around 0.5%

Again deceptive figure that hides the actual truth.

In the last 30 days, instances of the virus in under 14s have almost doubled.

If that were scaled up and applied to the rest of age brackets we would have 1,000 cases a day.

Children get the virus as much as anyone else.

Why do journalists come up with these convoluted scenarios?

Yes to both.

But someone brought up the nonsense of that one on the radio during the week too.

6 only from one other household.. Grand. When they go home you can immediately have another 6 over. Or - as I take that further - what if you had a BBQ in the front garden and they stood outside your gate?

Completely unworkable and the Gardai will have no powers to check anyway

Don't think about what you can do within the law but what you should do. The latter is clear to anyone with half a brain.

This government will sort that through inaction

If Ryanair pull their winter base there will only be the Aer Lingus Heathrow flight left in Cork after octo3

No because that would be 12 in your household

6 could stand just outside your garden wall though I'm sure. Or even more than 6

Plus six in the house, six in the shed, and six in the loft. It’ll end up like an illegal immigrant crash pad.

Yeah "voluntary" is the problem.

From the start a large number of Irish have shown themselves either too stupid or too selfish or too edgelord to actually do the right thing.

Oops I thought you meant the Toyman, Mr Turbidity. I’d have said Boyman, but I dont have the necessary permission to use that copyrighted name.

Wolf359f · 18-09-2020 07:07PM

Is there any kind of breakdown on transmission type for each individual county?
Community transmission makes up say 30% nationally, could it be that it's actually much higher in Dublin, hence why they have no issues opening pubs in the rest of the country.

Doesn't affect me personally. Rare enough I'd be in Dublin these days anyway despite being from and employed there

But childish insult aside, what's clear is the politicians are making it up as they go - despite only a few days ago announcing a new plan with "clear" levels that they have been fudging ever since
