Up to 71.5 now. Really quickly increasing in the last week which is what I believe NPHET are focusing on. Guess we might find out tomorrow

Garda broke up 5 house parties last night or Monday night

UCC didn't want freshers going ahead but Students Union did so went with virtual events

I am not surprised about Bean Town closing. The few times I've been in there I saw very few customers in the queue wearing masks and the management & staff not insisting these people wear masks, absolute joke.

I could say that about nearly any business I've been in the last few months. It's a bit unfair to blame their practices when you really don't know any of the details, a lot of these workplace cases seem to be staff picking it up at home or in the community with no actual transmission in the business but it gets associated with their place of work, it could easily be that.

St Gabriel’s closed, bean town closed, Thomson’s and Sober lane closed so they seem to be closing and testing staff which is good

As of 8pm last night, reduction of people in Cork hospitals from 5 to 4 (3 Mercy, 1 CUH) with none in critical care.

UCC only announced they were going fully online on Friday night. Most students would have had rented somewhere already

On top of this most are requiring attendance for 1-2 days for labs etc... Therefore people will go. And many young people want to go anyway for the piss up.

Well the trend is rising for how many cases you need to going to level 3,hopefully it won't happen.

Don't think it will be as simple as it hitting XX cases triggers level 3. I assume there is a lot more taken into consideration than that.

I got a hint from my local hotel manager that they wont be open after Monday. Sounded like he knew something. After last nights pictures and the comments from NPHET I cant see Cork still being on level 2 next week.

If colleges are all online tutoring teaching why are students living in digs, surely saving money staying at home would be a good idea imho

Cork's 14 day incidence rate (per 100k) is now 71.47 with today's included.

Lockdown thresholds for reference:

6th August: Laois (69.7), Offaly (80.8), Kildare (82.2)
16th September: Dublin 114.2
24th September: Donegal 148.2

We need the cases to start decreasing

Most cases are around city so rate there is higher?

Over 100 backlogged cases in the total today. I would say about 30 in Cork today with the remainder backlogs.

Equally there are going to be some backlogged cases related to today announced in the next few weeks so it all averages out

I’m sure there’s a reason for backlog of cases but it just makes things more confusing and many people just see the number and don’t know about a backlog.

We are still high though, how are the hospitals?

I think they are mentioning Cork and Galway because they are urban centres which have seen a pretty rapid increase in cases, so because population numbers are higher the incidence rate appears lower. Cork is also just a large county.

I think they will be mentioning those counties soon though once they reach Donegal levels which hopefully will not happen.

They also have third level institutions and a large influx recently. Same will probably happen in Carlow, Sligo, Waterford, Letterkenny etc etc.

Level 42

Not bad thought it be worse

40 cases in cork today

Treehelpplease

as well as that i'd rather they react now while it's clear cases are going up than wait until they're bad to react. PROACTIVE not REACTIVE. next week's cases happen this week.

If we had the same rates as Donegal we'd have ~150 cases per day. Perspective and context is more important than the daily figures.

It is about the rate of increase and spread. That is the context rather than a direct comparison to Donegal's numbers.

Really don't get our logic there. You appear to be trying to minimise it by saying it only looks bad. But in reality, it appears worse because it IS getting rapidly worse. If the current trend continues, we will be in big trouble so of course the NPHET want to do something to stop it asap before it gets out of hand.

Having said that, I really hope yesterdays slightly lower figure continues today.

The growth rate is equitable to the large clusters. I know of one of the pubs closed that has at least 10 cases. That's why the growth rate is high.
Let's be honest, it was a miracle that our numbers were so low for so long. Nobody could understand why.
An increase from an incredibly low number to a relatively low number that we have now appears way worse than it is, in all fairness.
