Did you not say there was a possible back log of 180 odd cases? Or did I read it wrong

More than that.

However, if they were announcing the full total of positive swabs, we would have seen cases touching 400 the last 3 days. Sort of negates your argument that they are trying to scare us with 430 cases when they could have done it 3 days in a row!

430 case

How could that be policed though?

Cork City is a completely seperate Garda district from anywhere else. All of the cork city council region is policed by a specific garda division.

Sunday the new day for backlog cases it seems.

102 more cases this week that last week from a lot more testing. 10 deaths reported the same as last week.

It would be ridiculous to lock down the whole county of Cork. The data by electoral area shows that Cork City south west and Cork City north east are where the problems are. Even those don’t have Hugh enough cases yet but it’s clearly spiked. But it might need a targeted approach in the city, but locking down west cork for example which is a 2 and a half hour drive in some places would make no sense.

I think they've been suggesting some city specific measures but I can't see how such measures will have the desired effect. Pandemic fatigue is a real problem at the moment, people just want to get on with things and significant numbers aren't really acting in a way that will actually get numbers down. We're a long way off an R number of 1 or lower.

They've applied it to every other county like that. Can't see them getting special treatment. But feel for the towns in Donegal who didnt need a lockdown

Just a little while ago Donnelly said the situation in Dublin was showing signs of stabilising

It was ~60% of all cases for a while and has been trending down as a % of all cases to below 50% now. Doesn’t mean a hell of a lot overall, as it’s been driven a little by other counties seeing a rise, but it’s also not surging with wild levels of growth

ACitizenErased · 27-09-2020 06:06PM

Any sort of restrictions should be on Cork City alone. I think that’s a measured response but what might happen is an unknown.

I’d say we will be in lockdown mid week.

Why would Cork get such preferential treatment? Sure the same could be said for parts of Offaly and Dublin etc.

This is a county based approach and there will be no special treatment just because it is Cork.

Fear is what will help control it. When deaths increase certain people's perception of the virus will change

But not the people who need to hear the message. They'll continue on throwing 2 fingers to any guidelines that will be brought in.

I read before that Cork had 100% mask and social distancing compliance.. unlike Dublin. I don't understand how the cases numbers are rising so sharply.

Well because cork county is massive and an issue in cork city is miles away from west cork.

I think geographic size will play a part. They might ask people to only enter or leave the city for essential purposes.

Exactly. There is 2-3 LEAs driving cases.

I'd say thats the same for all counties, the 2 Bray lea and Greystones to a lesser extent are driving the cases in Co.Wicklow.

Cork has the largest area, The City is where 60/70 cases. For example Kanturk and Bantry LEAs have less then 5 per 100,000. Cork city to say castletownbere is 2hrs drive and 126km away!!

It has to be County based. Kildare, Offaly and Donegal were county wide with some LEAs well below the national average. Cork is not a special case.

True.
One LEA at the extreme North East of Louth has them threatened with level 3. It wouldn't stop a countywide level 3 though.

Cork not even close to getting what Donegal got last few days per capita.
They won’t lock down the whole county for 30-50 cases a day primarily concentrated in the city. Biggest county in the country, won’t be the same restrictions as anywhere else.

Primarily concentrated in the city. You said it yourself and surely by now you know how this thing works. More people = more spread

But that’s just the point. It doesn’t need to be county based. Of course, the virus does not respect county boundaries. If specific areas are the problem, that is where restrictions need to be applied.

RTÉ news re lung transplants there reminds me that Donegal has quite a high rate of Cystic Fibrosis, indeed I have a friend there with it, alas her two siblings died from it.

How do you reckon they should manage the movement of people from the city outward? How many roads lead out of the Cork City area and how do you suggest they stop that flow of people, while allowing essential movement.

The landscape doesn't allow for what you suggest, it's either all or nothing.

I'm not talking about Meehole. I'm referring to someone who knows even less about what they go on about.

Cork City is 200km+ from west Cork. Explain to me how countywide restrictions work?

GeorgeBailey · 27-09-2020 06:23PM

Michael Martin said during the week that they would look at the possibility of only locking down cities with regard to Cork, Galway and Limerick.
