I would say the relevance at the moment life in NZ is good

Just heard an ad there for Little Mix playing the 3 Arena...tickets going on sale this Friday. Surely that couldn’t go ahead? Maybe because i’ve already written off this year, April doesn’t seem so far away, so I don’t know what will be different by then.

I don't know the specifics, but I imagine there are all kinds of contractual obligations here and break clauses and stuff.

Basically whoever blinks first will be left pay to the compensation bill. So until there's official health advice to cancel gigs as far out as next April, it probably works out cheaper for all involved to keep going as normal.

I'm sure the life in Samoa is also great but like NZ it has no relevance to Ireland. Clearly you seem to have an issue understanding this.

It will be just preaching to the choir. Those that don't give a f**k will carry on not giving a f**k and most likely not RTE viewers.

People are are a finite resource unfortunately. Tests wont process themselves and positions go unfilled for years never mind 4 months.

Grand so we both agree that NZ has no relevance to Covid in Ireland
Btw the NZ health authorities are scrambling to trace the origin of the infection in three individuals. Auckland still under restrictions too, just saying...

Levels of testing are already enormous, I'm literally shocked these days by the amount of tests being performed everyday in Ireland the last few weeks/months. I don't know what level exactly that people will finally be pleased by or what scae they are expecting

76 in hospital now. It’s gone up from 20 ish in no time at all.

We should have gone for zero Covid when we had the chance. ( but needed UK in it too).

90 in hospital this morning. Gradual, then sudden.

We're likely to see discharges today. There's none over the weekend.

ICU has reduced by 1, one discharge.

Is a discharge a discharge as in there gone home or just moved back out of ICU?

Its still climbing rapidly ACE. Even if there are discharges today. I'm pretty sure there will be over 100 in hospital by friday.

Re the zero Covid plan

If NPHET can guarantee that a further lock down of 8 weeks is all that is needed to mean we are back to normal (minus International travel) by Christmas I would go for that. I am ok with the steps needed to do this including closing the border with Northern Ireland in its entirety and having a super strict lock down.

stockshares · 21-09-2020 02:23PM

Interesting how Italy have managed better than Spain since the first outbreak esrluer in the year.

NPHET couldn't guarantee that

8 weeks lockdown would cripple the economy as well
