Unfortunately for us down in Cork it’s looking like level 3 tomorrow, cases simply haven’t reduced enough.

I'd say both Cork and Galway heading for level 3 lockdown restrictions

Had an incidence of this in the family, they had to wait for the close contact to be tested twice so ended up with 14 days of restricting movements anyway. You should confirm this at the time of testing.

Did that mean not attend work

Yeah, it did unfortunately but do talk to the HSE at the time of the test and see what they say.

Do ya think he has some agenda or something?

How can you not have the info on ages and number of underlying conditions of the people who have died with Covid since August?
Is that not their job?

He said they had some info then danced around it saying it would be wrong to give the info then didn't give any.

Oh look, 2 more previously young and healthy people who've been stricken down by coronavirus wheeled out on RTE news again. They're getting younger every day.

It's a "battle" they're facing. One lads father gave him his war medals and all.

Jesus Christ.

One of them was young... But I wouldn't say he looked healthy

So have we a rough model of how many admissions we will have at (for example) 800 cases a day?
From that we should be able to figure out the icu admissions and from that the deaths.
So at what point of daily cases do we reach saturation point of our hospital system.

I imagine it would be a good idea to know at what point the hospital system could become overwhelmed.

I’m not saying we’ll reach 800 cases by the way but it’s possible.

Anyone care to comment?

Nobody is asking you to stop living your life, there just asking you to live it in a safer way to stop the spread as much as possible. Its been said ad nauseum at this stage. Meet half of the people next week as you did this week and itll cut the transmission rate in half. Wash your hands wear a mask cough and sneeze etiquette, it is literally that simple and you can go about your day as much as you can.

I honestly dont get why its so hard to understand this, if people fail to do these basics then well be in this twilight as you call it for a long time

Going around sanitising your hands whenever you touch something, avoiding crowds and indoors spaces with people, hiding your face, not being able to be freely intimate and much more

None of that is living, it is barely existing, but we can't just not do it either so we are stuck.

Does the HSPC not give them as an overall?
The reporter was asking about those since August.

I know it can be worked out by going through old reports with a calculator but that's a tedious process.

Surely they should have this info at press conferenes.

My first comment is models of the future are usually wrong, way too many variables here but we need to exercise Pascal's wager and be extra careful because we simply can't afford to take the chance on getting things wrong.

So forget models, stats and numbers and get serious on the age old bible wisdom stuff.

When facing a problem, kill it dead.

The analogy for me is cancer, you don't live with it, that is preposterous. What we have is a systemic cancer and we need chemo as nauseating as it can be.

Mass arrests, military fascism, hard lockdowns for the winter etc.

Nope sorry not convinced that turning the country into a Soviet-like hellhole is the cutting edge of science. That and coughing into your elbow.

415 new cases and 1 new death in Ireland. Validation of data at the HPSC has resulted in the denotification of 14 cases. The figure of 36155 total cases reflects this.

You mean Cork going by a per capita basis.

Yet another person who can’t do their ratios! Dublin still ahead per capita. Cork’s 60 would be approximately 150 in Dublin. Dublin had more than 150.

This is positive. We are seeing a flattening of the rise in Dublin. Hopefully a decrease will soon follow

Yeah, but they are still very small numbers. It's at about 20 something I think, so it depends how they view that number.

I'm not religious don't worry...i am saying there is too much obsession with not overwhelming the HSE, that was a bad message in hindsight because it gave mental scope to take the eye off the ball during the summer for many. "Job done"

Not much faith in models, previous ones were wrong. We know spread is accelerating and that is all we need to know, it is not subsiding.
