Your obsession with schools is absurd.

And none of the household clusters came through schools?
They are an avenue of transmission from one household cluster to another.
They are all connected.

I think they're waiting till next week to see if the whole level 3 shabang actually works and then they'll move Cork to level 3. Every other county seems relatively stable outside of the top 3.

The border counties could be heading that way as well.
With Cork If they know that community transmission is low, nobody in ICU and admissions minimal as they’ve been the last few weeks, do they have a case?
I read what Leo was saying and he is talking sense. It needs to be how the hospitals are coping not how many cases we have.
I think they need to start stating how many are asymptomatic Especially in larger case loads like Dublin Cork Donegal

It’s about time they stopped these appeals. Anyone who is breaking the restrictions just don’t care.

rubbish. his company was started in 2016 and develops drugs for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Cardiovascular disease among others. I could be wrong but i've never seen coronavirus being mentioned. you want everyone to take a vow of not making money until covid is over?

He is profiting from his profile and is sitting on a tasty pie from selling his company so of course he isn't too concerned by anything other than focusing on getting covid cases to zero. Now he has a new book so his profile is going to further help him. The longer the crisis goes on, the more media time he gets and he is doing well from it.

The majority of parents continue to send their kids to school and don't moan about it constantly.

In fairness a chicken and egg scenario. House to school to more houses etc. Schools are one of many areas where transfer of the virus takes place. You can't look at households, or schools in isolation.

Exponential is a favourite word of Nolan’s

Feck the North is in a pretty precarious position, my mate in Quebec sent me this, cases there topping 1,000.

No that's exactly what we don't need. The problem we have will get much worse if we give out asymptomatic figures. We are trying to get the idiots to tow the line not give them information that they'll look at and think everything is grand.

Good thread by Nolan but he is doing what he says he isn’t doing and is trying to scare people.
64 of our 114 hospital admissions from last night are in Dublin.
If Dublin’s figures drop and the rest of the country hopefully stays stable, then we should be well able to carry the amount of cases currently being recorded.

There were 61 Admissions 'With Covid' and 57 discharges since last friday.

Do you not thing that a lot of these must have been admissions for other things and then sent home when tested positive?

We really should be given this data as it seems in the last week as many people are being discharged 'with Covid' as are being admitted.

In any case, the hospital numbers seem to be completely stable.

There is a considerable amount of hospital admissions coming from in-hospital testing.
01/10 - 6
30/09 - 19
29/09 - 21
28/09 - 9
and so on

Sadly that's the case and for varying reasons like money mainly and some not being able to handle being around their kids so often.
Then you have a few who think that socialisation is more important than health.
Anyways growing numbers in schools and growing numbers in the home are linked and I'm quite certain that school kids are bringing it home.

For all those shouting about Dubliner's behaviour - Do you think other counties populations are better behaved or, as I imagine is the case, they aren't but Dublin's population density means that you can't get "away" with slacking off as much as you would elsewhere (at least not initially).

Roots 2020 · 02-10-2020 07:17PM

If in July I was told we'd have 450 cases on average a day at the start of October I'd be worried. I wouldn't have expected that until the winter, say start of December.

On a positive note the deaths are low. Will rise when these large case numbers reach their conclusion. Still I think we must be doing far better in treating the virus. Which is really good news.

The worry I have is case numbers will become so high we'll be effected by weight of numbers of cases. Like NI seem to be heading. So it feels a bit knife edge regarding case numbers.

So over 1200 school kids have tested positive for Coronavirus.

488 in the 5-12 age bracket and 746 in the 13-19 age group in tests carried out between the 30th August and 27th September.

And the numbers rose every week during that period.

https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/1002/1168953-testing-in-schools/

It couldn't possibly be the schools...

Of course the schools have a major part in the increase cases especially amongst the school going age, only a fool would deny it.

Where does it say that they were admitted with covid rather than covid been the reason for their admission? Genuinely curious about this "with covid" business.

The tone of your posts have changed completely since I first came across you on these threads. They tend to get a bit ratty and personal, it's not a good way to go. Enjoy your pint anyway and be vigilant. Cork is seeing very high numbers.

I think the higher proportion of asymptomatic cases out of the daily numbers, the better. Maybe that's just me

They are stable, and like ACE said a nice few are from in house testing.

I have way bigger things to worry about than what people on Boards say, to be honest. If that comes across as ratty then..

Not so stable in Letterkenny. Small numbers but it has gone from two admitted cases there on Sunday night to eight admitted cases as of last night.

Positives from in house testing are even more scary. That could suggest spread within the hospital from other patients or staff. If person is being admitted for something elective, they are screened before admission and not admitted if positive unless sick from Covid. If person tests positive while in hospital with something else, that’s hardly good news. Now as well as recovering from a stroke or heart attack, they have Covid to fight off.
