If people copped on and reduced their contacts, stopped partying and raves, stayed in their own counties besides essential travel, personal responsibility, restrictions wouldn't be needed, we would slow it down, we flattened to curve once we can do it again, this is our new normal

as far as i know the case rate was higher in tyrone and derry anyway, but theres loads of crossborder traffic anyway , but that sounds like typical blame game

Lord John seems to know a lot about Letterkenny prostitutes and their nationalities. I wonder did he do his own investigative work to get to the source.

I imagine the "team" working on the Covid vaccine would liaise with Oxford Public health department, both of which who have their own selection of epidemiologists.

The teams are listed right there in my link

Also, given the fact that Adrian Hill of the Jenner institute and sunetra Gupta appear to have coauthored a paper on malaria vaccines as recent as 2015 even though they were divorced at that time indicated they may still work together

With all due respects to his fúcking lordship, it's far more likely that infection probably moved east to west (or north to south). Remind me again why anyone would want to share their country with people like this.

Any swab numbers today?

We flattened the curve by pretty much putting the entire country on lockdown. Closing all but essential business,, restricting people to 2kms of there home. You wsnto do that again. How much damage to society and the economy are you comfortable with for a virus that not dangerous for the majority who contract it?

I accept we need restrictions but they are at times over the top and without much scientific merit. Right now I'm not particularly against Dublin level 3 due to the current trends being pretty bad, but I am absolutely against the idea we shouldn't question them. The €9 meals were nonsense, the 2km/5km were nonsense, much of retail being closed for months was nonsense also.

I just find it a bit mad that (and not talking about you here) many people I know who spend their lives telling me how bad our governments are, now take everything they say about this to gospel.

The 9Euro meal kept the pubs quiet though helping to stop the spread IMO. And stopped some of the day long sessions and pub to pub stuff.

I agree with what you are saying though. And you yourself are not infallible and potentially you are wrong about the 9euro meal.

Mistakes will be made, this is everyone's first walk down this road but I know for sure that our government is better informed than any of us. They may not always make the best use of that information but substantial meals aside, the higher level decisions steering us through this pandemic have been made with public health in mind and for the most part, we have been led well. All you have to do is look across the Atlantic to see what poor governance really looks like and what it leads to.

Just as a matter of semantic curiosity - and I'm not sure how I'd define it either - if a 30 year old catches it and is fine, but passes it to their 60 year old parent who gets sick/dies, does that count as being dangerous for the 30 year old?

PopTarts · 25-09-2020 02:10PM

What’s the situation with ICU and hospitals.

It’s been 16 for ICU all week but showing as 3 admissions to ICU today and no discharges. Does this suggest 3 deaths?

It did in its arse

Anyone that wanted to get absolutely hammered anywhere found a way to do that, and if they couldn't in their local pub because of needing to buy a pizza, they did it elsewhere, such as at home, contributing to spread in houses.

The people going to the pub for a few pints, that had to buy a meal, weren't suddenly becoming model sober citizens just because of the pizza. They were going to have a reasonable 3/4/5 pints regardless.

It is no coincidence that the worst outbreak in the Republic is slap bang on the border with Northern Ireland.
If the DUP are looking for blame, they should look closer to home.
And you have Sammy Wilson on the London Tube not giving a rats ass about potentially spreading it to the London population.

It does, I'm sorry to say. That has normally been the reason based on past data. Hopefully, there has been a glitch in the data (which does sometimes happen)

On 2fm news there. A significant rise in cases or over 65s and a significant rise in "younger" people hospitalized. Why don't they just realease the ages of these people? My guess is it wouldn't be scary enough.

"A significant increase in younger people hospitalised"

A quick look at the latest HPSC report from Tuesday 15th to Tuesday 22nd

Additional cases hospitalised in 1 week
0-4 yrs - 0 cases
5-14 yrs- 1 case
15-24 - 4 cases
25 - 34 - 2 cases
35 - 44 - 9 cases
45 - 54 - 12 cases
55 - 64 - 16 cases
65 - 74 - 16 cases
75 - 84 - 13 cases
85 + - 8 cases

I dont see a significant increase in younger people there. The numbers are all available on HPSC website

Just in my experience I was speaking about. It kept many different circles of my friends away from the pubs. And the ones that did go along with the meal and pint had totally different nights out to what they would have. It was restrictive and annoying within my groups anyway. People I haven't seen in months cause of the 'nonsense 9eur meal'. And the same people planning nights out as soon as it would be lifted ha. YMMV etc.

Guess it depends on your definition of young!
Also what were the figures the week before that?
If 15-25 went from 1-3, that would be a significant increase. If it went from 3-3, obviously that's not an increase.
Just showing one week figures won't show a trend.

Do you want to engage in hypotheticals or facts?
What has semantics got to do with your curiosity?
