Living around the area in question, business hasn't been booming for them, I'd find another scapegoat.

House parties while not desirable are not criminal, morally a different matter.

Obviously they didn't have a warrant, it would take too long. So if they made a law that you couldn't have a certain number of people in a house, the police would then be able to say they entered as they believe a crime was committed.

Certainly if they are dependent on Ulster Scots for business.

Pretty shocking imo that total cases in the 5-14 age bracket have nearly doubled in the last month alone.
A lot of kids getting it at home and bringing it to school.

Can people not understand that this is a young virus and we don't know enough about it yet? We've already seen its vicious with the elderly, that there's long term affects hitting a small percentage of people of all ages regardless of their health status prior to getting this thing.
We don't know if there is any lingering long term affects for the majority of people yet because it's not old enough. We don't even have a test which is certain to tell you if you have it or not. There can be false positives and false negatives.
We've got hundreds of thousands of trained professionals in epidemiology and virology researching this. The general consensus among them is to wear facemasks properly, wash your hands regularly and maintain social distance.
How many stupid people are there out there that can't abide by a bit of good advice that is being published and spoken about everywhere?

This post is spot on. Its a virus I and many more won't be rushing out to get. Following the guidelines will help minimise risk of contracting it and spreading it.

400+ cases today so?

My suspicion is that being a Friday, there will be a "wave" of unnotified cases carrying through to next week.

So ~350 today, ~250 tomorrow, Sunday & Monday, with 500 or 600 announced on Tuesday, up to 50% of which are historical.

Look on this forum and look at the casedemic comments from some people here. That's the attitude people here have towards a dangerous killer virus. They won't learn until it hits hard in the next 4-6 weeks. I fully expect to see 100+ deaths a day then and you can quote me on that

JDD · 25-09-2020 03:07PM

I'll tell you something about Donegal. I went up for a weekend in August to west Donegal. Now, normally people in Donegal have...um...an elastic relationship with legal rules... but I was pleasantly surprised to see everyone in shops wearing masks, everyone social distancing etc. There was a christening celebration in the hotel we were staying in, and the adults all wore masks while moving about and they'd booked a really big area for quite a small amount of people.

And then we stopped at Asda in Strabane on the way home. One poster outside asking you to social distance. Nothing inside the store. About 20/30% of people wearing masks. I was really really taken aback. Whatever your view on whether mask wearing is actually of benefit, it's indicative of a person's overall compliance with social distancing, washing hands, reducing contacts etc. Nobody that was maskless was making an attempt to stand back from others.

Not that I'm entirely blaming Nordies for the spread into East Donegal. You can be sure that half the maskless wearers in Asda were from the Republic.

I'm not in the *least* bit surprised that Lifford has the highest incidence in the country.

What has semantics got to do with your curiosity?

The question is how you're defining something as being "dangerous to someone". It is precisely semantics.
If someone were speeding while driving and at risk of killing themselves, but not their parent who was at home safe in bed, I would not say that was dangerous for the parent, even though they would still suffer loss etc.
If someone were speeding and had their parent in the car, that is dangerous to both.
If someone were just driving a pretty normally and had an airbag and seatbelt (or something similar where their risk of death was minimal) while their parent in the passenger seat had neither seatbelt nor airbag (or somehow their risk was heightened), does that count as "dangerous" to the driver?

I'm not having a go here, I'm not sure where I land on the definition either.
Maybe a couple head to a malaria hotspot in South America - only one of them has taken their hydroxychloroquine - you'd say it's dangerous for the couple collectively, but...

426 positive swabs on 14,429 tests - positivity rate of 2.95%

Another week of over 90,000 tests. Was looking back at April last night, April 20th to 27th had 5,355 cases from 41,470 tests a positivity rate of 13% I'd wonder how many more cases they would have found back then if they tested in the numbers of now?

Well if you're going to make a point that there was no significant new hospitalisations in the young, you could have easily went back a week and shown that in the numbers.
If it's a radio report, it could have increased by 1% and they'll call it significant. If it reduced by 50% they would call it a slight reduction.

No bother

It’s probably something like

People eating bats
Italian rugby fans
People in that pub in temple bar
Cheltenham (the people that went, not the horses)
Foreign strawberry pickers
Black Lives Matter marchers
American tourists
Berlin pub and all that sailed in her
Greta (always nice to try to slag her about something)
Those people that had the air bnb down south and then one tested positive
Anti mask marchers
The golf lads

0 - 34 slight drop from 9 to 7 but big increase in 25 - 64, 15 cases to 37. About 150% increase in that catergory in a week is a lot even if the numbers are still relatively low.

bodhrandude · 25-09-2020 03:24PM

There has been a outbreak at Mullingar Regional Hospital. ' It has been confirmed that a number of patients there have tested positive for coronavirus.'

Again depends what you classify as young. Under 44 is what the Dept of Health mention in daily reports.

The increase in older has been flagged going back the last few weeks. Threefold was mentioned by Prof Nolan

Hope the drinkies at the pub were worth it for some of the advocates for opening them up.

I'm not having a go here, I'm not sure where I land on the definition either.

i think when medical people say that an illness is "dangerous" for a particular sector of the population, they mean physically dangerous. Measuring a general effect on mental health would be too difficult.

I fully expect to see 50,000 deaths a day.

I have no evidence to back my claim up.

The term used was "younger".
