    How is it good news..do you know That a lot of the people who get the virus.suffer all types of symptoms..lungs seem to be particularly affected with lot of breathing difficulties .plus no energy for months..and some have been getting relapses of said symptoms..and if those people have under lying conditions especially asthma or systicfibrosis. It can be worrying .so any one that gets it ..can only hope they are in the minority....once this virus in your system..its there to stay..

    You're absolutely right. No reported deaths is appalling news

    You'd need to send in the army to control the scrotes in that place.

    FFS.

    Prof Nolan is an absolute liar when he states that there is no transmission coming from schools.

    The Irish people deserve to be told the truth and not have some weird bald lying creep talking out his arse.

    No one stated what you claim they stated, least of all Nolan

    I am not sure if we can say that it stays in your system forever. But, there are certainly risks of ongoing complications in heart and lungs particularly and the term 'recovered from Covid' seems to be subjective at this stage.

    While the vast majority of people won't die from it, how well you might recover, seems to be a bit of a lottery. I don't think this aspect is appreciated by most people yet.

    Don’t forget these tests will have been done before the new restrictions on Dublin

    So just last night alone we had the rave in Oliver Bond flats, hundreds of Brazilians travelling from Dublin to Meath for a rave (multiple people sharing cars too no doubt) , and now this rave up in the Hellfire Club. And this is just what was made public on social media - there would’ve been hundreds more house parties in the county. Not to mention “communion” parties that were held for communions that never even went ahead.

    FFS, it’ll be much longer than 3 weeks before we come out of lockdown if this keeps up.

    This whole Corona thing has shown the world that there are a significant amount of people who are idiots.

    All those people going to the rave, people who think the virus doesn't exist blah blah. People are morons.

    Yep, ‘cause the guards ain’t going in there. They’ll probably have one every weekend now that they know they can get away with it. There’ll be raves in all “the flats” around the city now.

    It’s like the prevalence of the fireworks this year (for some reason), one group of scrotes started them in August, then every scrote in the capital had to get their hands on some

    Scum is gona scum. Especially when there are zero consequences. Water canon and letting the gardai let some of their frustration out on them would be no harm.

    High enough for cork.

    I've heard of more school and GAA club cases in Cork

    Wait and see. You will be told you're being hysterical. Usual crowd.

    Problem is these idiots are the same ones at these raves and parties dragging all down.

    It's very disheartening.

    Any actual evidence of this?

    The evidence is the opposite. The virus doesn’t penetrate the nucleus of a host cell to multiply, which most likely means it’s gone for good after recovery.

    400 cases wow

    What was the prevalence when we had 1000 cases a day in April?

    Seems to be about 1.5% prevalence now

    To be honest, it’s a waste of time comparing one country to another on this, particularly where there’s a huge gulf between the two cultures.

    Ireland, along with Australia and New Zealand rank as some of the least deferential places on the planet. You’re not going to change that culture, nor would it be a particularly desirable thing to do. However, you can work with what we have and communicate better. Look at NZ for example. Whether or not you agree with her, Jacinda Arden has done a far, far better job of communicating than any of our lot, and light years ahead of her counterparts in Australia while the the U.K. and US are on a different planet entirely.

    We should be sharing experience with Canada, NZ and Australia and also countries like France, Belgium, etc that are extremely similar to us in a lot more ways than we think.

    Comparisons with Japan, as much as we may get on just don’t really provide much of a communication template to use as the underlying political culture and general social attitudes are extremely different.

    I also think however, we need to be damn careful not to keep drawing comparisons and ideas from the US. The similarities between Irish and American society are also only superficial in a lot of ways.

    We need to be trying to appeal much more to our sense of community, family and that we should be looking out for one another and for the future prosperity and stability of this island.

    We should be ignoring the conspiracy theorists that are just being radicalised online.

    Debate the nuances of the restrictions etc but some of the really mad stuff really needs to be called what it is : utterly bonkers !

    I'm just posting on my time in Japan and from talking to people I worked with, your always going to have differences between countries and even within a country itself.
    As for the states, we have some similarities, but plenty of differences that should be kept, especially in terms of work, health and social welfare etc despite the whingers on here.
    Also in my opinion conspiracy theorists should be shot at with flaming balls of sh1t.

    can i get some sources for these claims you're making?

    Let it run through, it won't be contained because people won't accept lockdown anymore. Sure, the health system will collapse but it was always going to one of these winters. Our health system has been a disgrace for decades, how it's run, how it is financed. Great people at the heart of it, but they've been thrown to the dogs by the government and NPHET.

    Another bad week with over 600 more cases than last week and two more reported deaths.

    Looks like we'll get simliar weekly numbers for at least the next few weeks. I wonder had we a 4th day in a row with over 14,000 tests carried out? I presume all backlog cases are now all counted for in that near 400 number reported today.

    Wonder is there a daily case amount where Dublin moves to level 4, maybe 300 a day?

    No... there isn't. Ronan Glynn has always stated that there are and will be multiple factors that might cause a change of plan. Case numbers are only one aspect - there is no trigger number.

    Unless it rockets next week they may just leave it for the 3 weeks.

    The French striking. Now there’s a surprise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59 ✭✭SteHam


    Definitely worth noting that our testing capacity compared to earlier in the year will mean that if there is a second wave, case numbers will be far higher as our scope widens and we pick up cases that would have fell under the radar before.

    Don't be surprised if you see well over 1000 cases per day but also don't be terrified as we most likely already had way over this already.

    Deaths is the figure to watch for.

    A virus with the potential for exponential growth is a bitch !

    I wonder where we are on the above graph right now ?

    Apparently the head of the HSE said that it's unlikely that testing system would cope with a second wave surge.

    Nolan said it on Newstalk this morning

    I didn’t hear newstalk, however the talk this week was the community was driving cases in schools and not the other way around. It is clear the behaviour of a portion of the population is driving this through their daily interactions. Raves, communions, golf trips, parties etc. The surge since the start of September has been driven by behaviour in the second half of August when many went on holidays within Ireland, mixing in the most uncontrolled fashion we have seen since this started, and then the older brigade heading on holidays etc post school return. There was also an increase in cases associated with travel in the second half of August. If large scale clusters associated with the school return had occurred we would have seen it in the testing data. But the age distribution of cases is unchanged and in the 2100 tests conducted as a result of 96 cases entering schools yielded on 35 positives.

    Major school clusters will arise, but they are not the primary driver at the moment

    Didn't NPHET say pubs should only open if cases were stable for 2 weeks beforehand? Can't see how that's the case with current cases


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,136 ✭✭✭✭is_that_so


    Ah, so we won't be the first!
