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.

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.

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 01:23PM

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

It's rising rapidly in Dublin.
The rest of the country is stable at ~25 in hospital.

13th September:
37 in Dublin
20 in rest of counties

20th September:
60 in Dublin
28 in rest of counties

People think testing and tracing are the solution to get get the virus under control. It's not.

Reducing contacts, social distancing, handwahsing, PPE control the virus.

Reduce the number of cases, reduce the number of contacts and referrals and testing capacity would be enough to meet demand.

It wouldn't make a difference if we could process 1 million tests a week if people continue to flout restrictions and do what they want.

Testing figures dont get the virus under control. They just tell us how f*cked we are.

You can't close a border that doesn't exist. The manpower is not there to block all the roads either.

something something exponential growth.

Just for what its worth seeing as I work in Dublin but live outside it, down in Cork for a few days and personally I think mask compliance certainly seems to be much higher here.

Now I could be wrong but just from what I've seen in Dublin might be 70 or 80% wearing them here it definitely looks like higher compliance.
