Cork for instance has registered 66 cases of coronavirus per 100,000 of population over the past 14 days. That is actually below the national average, which is 84 cases per 100,000. But what is alarming NPHET about Cork is not so much the actual number, but the pace at which it has been rising. It has been increasing for about three weeks and gone up by as much as 103% in the past seven days. That is an enormous pace of increase. Add to that the news from Dr Glynn that 70 cases of the disease in Cork in recent weeks have been associated with pubs and restaurants. Then there is the fact that since Co Cork is such a big place, the relatively low countywide incidence of the disease disguises what is actually going on in the city and urban areas, where the growth in cases has been particularly striking.

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.

In fairness, they seemed well organised on the night, tables well spaced out, all staff wearing masks etc, but at the end of the day if you have a few staff members infected it's not gonna end well. Thankfully doesn't seem like I've given it to anyone else. The place was busy that night though, so ya have to wonder how many others picked it up there.
