I can't even read it, stuck behind a paywall, any other sources?

The Torygraph? No.

Are you saying they made up that a third of COVID deaths weren't COVID deaths?

Only other one is the Daily Mail. The Guardian and the BBC didn't think it important enough to report on. A third of deaths wrongly classified as COVID deaths isn't important it seems.

No. But interpretation of research can be manipulated and it's in the UK government's interest's for these kind of stories to be reported if it means deaths were misreported considering the ****show of their response. Do you have link to the paper?

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.

I think if FG pull the plug their cynical behaviour will be highlighted. Playing political games in the present situation is beyond abhorrent.
Agree with you about the Greens btw.

Is that really what the research is saying though or how DM and TG are representing it? If the former it is obviously significant.

The UK Government seems to be me to be obsessed with higher numbers of deaths.

The paper isn't on the Oxford website, unfortunately.

So, Dublin restricted for 3 weeks. Cases drop. Restrictions lifted. Cases rise. What's the end game? Back and forward all the way to vaccine?

Apparently we're supposed to be 'living with covid' which seems the opposite of what the plan actually does, to be honest

We weren't.

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

Get your facts right.

My facts are correct, June was our lowest month for cases. When the pubs/restaurants opened 29th June (along with barbers and hairdressers) cases still remained relatively stable for July as well.

I don’t even know what point you’re trying to make, tbh. You tried to blame schools for being the reason for the increase in cases, and you were proven wrong.

If they're clever enough about it they can frame it as being to prevent more mismanagement of situation and increase their vote share as well as seeing FF decimated once and for all. A gamble if they continue to **** up the response as a single ruling party but perhaps a worthy gamble from a politico perspective none the less.

Plan? The plan was pretty much torn up hours after being announced.
The present government despite being made up of many from the previous administration is rudderless and out of its depth with Martin as Taoiseach.

A reminder to take COVID infections, and deaths, with a gigantic pinch of salt.

In the statement released by the golfing group of 40 from Dublin anyway, they said that the person who died in their group didn’t die from Covid, but they tested positive nonetheless. I wonder if that was the reason the rest of them all got tested?

Benimar · 19-09-2020 05:34PM

And there is the backlog....

fritzelly · 19-09-2020 05:35PM

Balancing act. Need to learn from past mistakes. Test, trace and isolation needs to be implementation at a more sophisticated level. Mass testing and quicker results would help alot. Proper protocol's implemented at airports. Education about Covid would help. Their is now a cohort of people believing in theories which seems to have grown from the first wave.

Most in Dublin?

ACitizenErased · 19-09-2020 05:40PM

Of the 274:
• 142 men, 129 women
• 65% under 45
• 52% associated with outbreaks or are close contacts of a confirmed case; 52 from community transmission

SusanC10 · 19-09-2020 05:40PM

What was our highest daily number of Cases and Deaths in RoI ?

ACitizenErased · 19-09-2020 05:40PM

Looks like ~90 backlogged cases thrown in today

JP Liz V1 · 19-09-2020 05:42PM

Cork's numbers going up, that's a worry

Just how it works tho, no? If you’ve 6 cases one day they may have 3 contacts each which is 18 more. Repeat

branie2 · 19-09-2020 05:45PM

Thankfully, no deaths to report.

hynesie08 · 19-09-2020 05:46PM

Where are we now in the positive swabs/positive cases discrepancy? Are we going to get another number dump soon?

Probably all Dublin ones for an ‘I told you so’ message
