    Why would you expect to see an appreciable increase in those age ranges ?
    Are you assuming that CARRIERS in that age range would show symptoms en masse ?

    I don't have a breakdown of testing per age range, but going by reports on here and the substantial increase in community referrals it would appear there's been quite a high increase in children getting testing, yet there's been no increase in the percentage of cases in children compared to all age ranges.

    Not true.

    More cases from September 1-18 than from from June 29 (when pubs reopened)-August 31 with up to 100 schools reporting cases.

    At the end of the day sending one million into buildings with no social distancing was always going to be a disaster.

    We were at our lowest cases one month before the pubs opened, compared to our surge beginning one month before the schools opened. Of course there would be more cases (but not hugely so) coming off the back of a surge when cases everywhere were growing!! If anything your point proves that neither pubs nor schools were particular drivers for cases.

    Anyone know if there's a backlog? haven't been keeping track

    Jaysus man, if you haven't been keeping track it really is the end of days :eek:

    I jest.

    In about 6 months time when it will have been far far too late, the useless goons we elect to lead will admit bringing the schools back in the manner they did was a colossal mistake. And this will come after the govt collapses after one scandal too many in a very short timeframe.

    The only small good to come from all this is that this brief spell back in government should finally kill off Fianna Fail. Only an absolute dribbling imbecile could have any confidence in them at this stage.

    North-East +17
    North-West +19
    South +9
    South-East +13
    West +14

    There were
    +163 private house cases
    +217 Clusters
    +743 Cases associated with clusters
    + 34 Other(Inc community transmission)

    I'm trying to understand how the community transmission, private house outbreaks and clusters relate to each other?

    Could the 34 Other/Community Transmission cases have created the 163 private house cases and could a number of private house outbreaks be part of a cluster?

    Also how do they differentiate between the type of private house outbreaks(house party's or community introduced).

    Example
    If 1 person picked up the virus in a pub/restaurant and returns home and infects three people in their household that is documented as 1 case of community transmission and 3 cases in a private house.
    Is that private house then considered a cluster or is it considered a cluster if people in that house infect their neighbours?

    I've probably misunderstood you.

    I thought there was a consensus that infected children were more likely to be asymptomatic carriers than to display symptoms.

    Why are the numbers still so low in many counties if schools are the reason for the surge?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,135 ✭✭✭Peter Flynt

    We weren't.

    We were at our lowest number of cases post lockdown on June 28th with 3 cases.

    Get your facts right.

    Because maybe schools are not the reason for the surge, just maybe

    But there is a near doubling in instances of infection detected in Children under 14.

    Which was a completely false figure to begin with because we didn't test.

    So the narrative kids don't really get the disease was BS.

    They seem to get as much as everyone else.

    The next live experiment which we have gone spectacularly heads first into, is how easily do they spread it.

    We should know conclusively by mid November if not before.

    When South Korea reopened schools they had one covid case PER MILLION people . . . and proceeded to close them again in Seoul thereafter after a slight increase.

    25-34 - 172% increase

    85+ - 633% increase

    That's the difference in weekly reported case numbers over the past 4 weeks.

    I'm old enough to remember when we were told that kids did not catch or transmit the virus.

    I am talking about confirmed infections overall as a percentage

    As in a month ago there was 250 children under 4 confirmed to have had the virus, now that is closer to 500. *

    * Figures not accurate.

    No fan of FF but what precisely is allowing FG and the Greens a free ride in your opinion? Last I saw Leo 'minister for everything except his own brief ' and 'Sleepy' Ryan are part of a tri party government.

    You have to be taking the p1ss with your daily fluctuations!

    250 cases doesn’t mean we are doomed, no more than one day below 200 means we are ‘beating’ it.

    The greens are as irrelevant as they always have been and always should be. In fact they are so irrelevant I forgot they were even at the table. You can blame the worst of generation snowflake for them even having a seat at the table.

    While they deserve a fair bit of flack as it isn't exactly acting in the national interest, politically FG are playing a blinder by standing aside and letting FF make and own all the terrible decisions at the moment while essentially playing opposition in public but supporting Martin at least in practice with votes. I think they will pull the plug very soon.

    A balancing act really, react appropriately to a dynamic situation.

    So reduce contacts and presume you have it until there is a vaccine. You realise how crazy that sounds.
