Glad you are not letting the science get in the way. Pubs are ope everywhere apart from Dublin. Why are people on here moaning about getting back to normal while simultaneously recalling stories of "loads of pints down the pub". Should you not be savouring the lovely vintners atmosphere while drinking massively overpriced beer.

No-one gives a ****. Do it, don't do it. Won't change things one iota for the public health measures.

Here's a chart about peanuts. You might like it if you try? Broaden your horizons. Never too late.

Apart from displaying your wonderful broad depth of knowledge, what the hell is the point of your graph in response to a peanut eater who obviously is not allergic.

From the dashboard: 609 positive swabs, 13610 tests. 4.5% positivity rate.

If you go into the "Data and Services" section, then LaboratoryLocalTimeSeriesHistoricView, then "Data", you can see the daily positive swab time series.

A third Republican Senator has now tested positive. Quite extraordinary what is happening in the US.

Quite old those in government in the US, if some were to die such as what occurred in the Iranian government I think there would be a dramatic change in opinion of the general public toward COVID over there

Nonsense, you'll have people along presently telling you we're just getting waaay better at tracing cases, and the number of cases are actually probably going down.

We are going to end this week with roughly 800 to 1000 more cases than last week by the looks of it. Hopefully no or few deaths confirmed in tonight and tomorrow.

The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) has announced that the death toll in Iran has exceeded 110,000. Meaning Iran has most likely the 5th highest death toll in the world, after Mexico as Mexico's is a serious undercount

I think we can expect national level 3 at least next week, possibly upto level 4 in harder hit locations

Did I say it was responsible behaviour that people were there till 7am ? Clearly a lack of cop on for anyone who was there till 7am.

Poster clearly stated he wasn't there till 7am and was in work at 7am yet you said he had his head in a pint glass 24/7 so you went off making assumptions about him despite you being told he wasn't there.

Would you say its accurate then to describe the poster as having his head in a pint glass 24/7, thats what my post addresses.

As I said there's absolutely no middle ground with you, if someone doesn't agree then they get told they've their head in the sand and are cast off into a "brigade". Glad I'm not the only one that sees it, more than willing to engage in reasonable debate and conversation without the pontification

So you do agree that there was irresponsible behaviour involved in this instance? Good, now we may be making progress. If I may have exaggerrated a little in this case then I`m not the only one on this forum who does so only they do it to a much greater extent. BTW I see no comment from you about the lack of mask wearing and social distancing that the poster stated was the case in the pub. What is your opinion on that? Was that also a lack of cop on that was being displayed?

Well, not far off in reality. Cases are gonna be well above 1000 a day by the end of next week.

It is just what happens when society is opened up, schools and universities reopened...

What did people expect really... It is absolutely no surprise.

Perhaps there is about 5 or 10% of cases caused by people behaving inappropriately but from what i have seen the vast majority of people in this country are extremely disciplined.

It's strange there is very little mention of obesity by health authorities here given how much a factor it is if the obese person contracts the virus

Good news, hopefully early signs of transmission rates decreasing in Dublin and some other counties

Doesn't take many to act the maggot!
The detailed breakdowns of the clusters recently, 1 index person causing up to 60 cases, they should really show that chart if the index person reduced their contacts by a third. Then another chart if everyone involved had of had reduced their contacts by a third.

It's one thing hammering the message about reduced contacts, it would have more an impact if people can see what difference it would make.

I think the risk is well known..it's just, what do you about it? Usually obese people have very disfunctional attitudes toward food and it's something that's very difficult to change. They're not going to be able to just make it disappear in a few months so their COVID risk is lessened

Have thought the same, People do not want to be accountable for amount of food they eat. Seems more important than ever to promote healthy eating. Covid not likely to be going away in Western countries for a good few years if ever

I don't think it would.

There are many that don't understand basic science or simple mathematical concepts. No amount of charts or pictures can help them.

Away With The Fairies · 03-10-2020 03:58PM

What's going on up North? Over 900 cases yesterday and over 700 cases today. They're huge numbers.

Well there's absolutely no chance we can move forward when some people will be holding us back.
We've been asked to reduce our social contacts, that message isn't getting through, so closing pubs/restaurants get to be the fall guy. Failing that, it was only when we had a lockdown that social contacts dropped right down.

There needs to be a balance, some of the public just can't accept that or just don't care!
