talking to friends, all of CIT is online this year anyway and the vast majority of UCC is

re the colleges, the call to move online for two weeks was made far too late. By Fri evening most of the students were in their accommodation. Now they have two weeks online with no on campus structure. By Friday, they could (could!) have no supervised venues to socialise (bars, restaurants...) where one would think contract tracing is easier to manage. Instead, the volume of house gatherings will likely raise which will be harder to contact trace.

The student shaming relating to covid is borderline hilarious. I’ve never seen the UCC / CIT area quieter in my life. Students have been made aware from the middle of August that the learning was to be blended and anything that could be done online would be done online, and plenty of notice would be given for any in person activity to sort out travel arrangements. It’s not a surprise that college is online now.

I don't think it is that simple or that we can just blame "outsiders". For example, Beantown Cafe on Model Farm Road closed all week and now say on Facebook's that a number of their staff have tested positive.

Huge amount of Mount Mercy kids go in there. Not so many CIT students, but a large amount of hospital employees as well. Small premises as well and I know they try their best as regards social distancing, but it can get very crowded there.

Thanks for the kind wishes for the wedding. Planning any wedding is tough, but these past six months have been exceptionally stressful & emotional. We’re almost there. Even if Galway (where we’re due to get married) moves to Level 3, the Govt has set the precedent in Donegal & Dublin to allow weddings to go ahead as planned that weekend.

Would the relatively high numbers in Cork South West LEA be attributable to the returning third level student population?

Any evidence of these actually being the problem? Please enlighten

I think they are helping increase cases, spreading as the majority of cases are under 45 and with a lot school college age etc.,

I think so, not 100% with the name.

Just got email from my son's school. A positive case in 5/6th class, he's in 2nd. Its a country school in North Cork, didnt think it would be here so soon.

Im not sure if it was mentioned here, but I heard today that a special school (Which was closed during the week with 6 cases (staff and pupils)) has had a further 6 cases, mostly no symptoms. At this rate we may see many schools having to close, even before the midterm.

How did Limerick manage to get on top of things? Were a lot of their cases traveller related and therefore relatively easy to contain? I know they had a pop up test centre in Rathkeale so they attacked the outbreak at one of its sources. Hopefully we’re in a position to follow suit.

Yes, the LED map shows it was really around Rathkeale and not the city.

Attachment not found.

unfortunately it will be locked down next week before we go to 100 plus a day

titan18

I think once we push close to 100 cases a day, we'd have to locked down. 30-50 is small numbers with our population

JP Liz V1

How many in hospitals?

It was 102 in total for ROI

You can’t lockdown the biggest county in Ireland for ~30-50 cases per day, primarily in the city. Not happening.

I know you are trying to put a positive spin on this, and that's fine, but at this stage I do think we are heading for level 3 lockdown unless there is a sudden downward change.

It probably won't happen at 50 per day but that will go up I feel I unfortunately.

Limerick was increasing day on day last week/week before and suddenly flatlined and stopped. Can't say that for certain, lets hope that is what happens here

Let's hope, the last thing we want is another lockdown
