I'll save you all the bother. https://novus.se/novus-coronastatus/

No science involved, just telephone surveys, self-reported symptoms, and people who 'think' they've had the virus.

Almost as good as that study TonyMaloney posted. Which turned out to have been sampled from a Facebook support group.

I’m not a big fan of them “fear”-ing these conferences to be honest. They should be about media questions and nothing else.

I suspect though, if you're watching that report, you're preaching to the converted. The people you might want to reach aren't watching.

I'm after hearing from 2 HSE workers, and I assume it's included in yesterday's figures of 36 yes. Would make sense, large increases are usually attributed to clusters.
Also lines up with the school cases. Any workers there would have kids in that area, and the schools would report those cases.

Thanks

You can almost set your watch to it. Gets called out and shuts down the discussion.

One of the reasons I still visit this thread is to enjoy his spirals downward during an argument, I get a great laugh.

A lot of cases get transferred to hospitals in Dublin that have Covid wards set up. Portiuncla for example, has no cases at the moment. They're not going to admit any covid cases unless there are no other hospitals available to take it.

I'm not sure going on a county-by-county basis in terms of hospitals numbers is helpful.

Because when you've lost the population by your strategy, only fear remains!

Amateur enough cancelling it 27 minutes later. The Department of Health's PR team is a joke.

You worry about your kids I'll worry about mine. He's worn it once - in a shop. Nothing inappropriate or dangerous about it.

We've all to worry about each other, remember. It's not about saving my life it's about saving yours.

That's probably because patients in intensive care tend to be older and with underlying conditions.

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

We have hundreds of thousands out of work. Of course the man power is there.

I wouldn't allow it under any circumstances. I'm a few years off mine making it to secondary school so hopefully this is all anchient history by then. There a dangerous item and lead to increased infection and transmission not just of Covid, if not used correctly. All that bacteria isn't good to have them rebreathing.

Absolute and utter nonsense.

Do you have any sense of what it must be like for people who have or had loved ones in ICU to read that?

The better we test trace isolate the better control we have. Look at germany and south korea. Efficient testing is one of the most important tools we have. I disagree with your post.

Of course its an important tool. But it is not the solution.

If cases were like fires popping up all over the place, tests are like smoke alarms. They'll tell you where the fire is but it won't put it out.

Reduce your contacts, wash your hands, wear a mask, put out the fire.

There is those that see a problem and give in and there are those who see a solution to that same problem. I think it's fair to assume we all know which side you are on.

So nothing should be said incase it causes upset even when it's largely true?

It's not, look at any science or health advice, Secondary transmission is a thing, if your going to call it nonsense back up your assumption.

Is there a pattern starting to appear, look at Corks high cases and Dublins, it's not closed pubs there all centered around.
We changed the advice on what types of stores could open, it was first meant to be only ones with kerb side access, i.e they could let in fresh air.

I'm calling it nonsense because it is nonsense. You're making the claim that masks are unsafe, where's your evidence?

You're basically saying the health experts are trying to infect us with Covid by wearing masks.

Get outta town with that nonsense!

Thats not a solution , it's idiocy. There is also a matter of an international treaty that we as a nation signed up to.
As for sides ,more BS .

And no clusters in shops prior to masks being mandatory

That is only one variable. Perhaps no one covid +ve in the store in the time masks weren’t mandatory. Perhaps caught in the canteen where presumably masks are removed to eat and drink, but sure yes, of course mask wearing is the only possible explanation...... ffs
