    What I would love to know about Dublin is how are all the homeless on the streets still alive

    Seem to be thriving to me, see more and more of them, not a lethal virus to them

    I know yeah, all the same staff in my local Spar, none of them have croaked yet. Spartans in our midst, this is Sparta!!

    I thought it was if cases are below 5 but that doesn't add up so not sure tbh unless it's 10?

    We didn't get much of a breakdown in yesterday's press statement either - they've been uploaded on the tracker app and I see Louth had 18 of yesterday's total. That number would have been reported last week, so there has been a change in practice. Back to the early days when we got the headline number one day and county breakdown the following day?

    If it all goes tits up and the numbers keep going in the wrong direction theyll have very little choice but to recommend it. Its whether the government pulls the trigger is the issue

    I Imagine NPHETs days of recommending any action is probably gone at least for the next while. TBH it's pretty obvious they have no faith in the governments aspirational 475 level plan anyway.

    I also wouldn't be surprised if we have seen the end of briefings too.

    NPHET's job will to give an update on the progression of the disease and what the modelling is predicting and that is pretty much it I'd suspect

    Paul Reid, the sub cabinet and the cabinet will now make the decisions.

    Anyone know what the backlog is, I've it at around 200, add that to the numbers tomorrow we could see another 600+ day. And around 300 cases in Dublin.

    300 cases in Dublin? There hasn't been 300 cases in Dublin since March/April, Why in gods name will there be 300 tomorrow or are you raving again

    And the total announced yesterday was the cases up to midnight on 4th October.

    So you can explain what the backlog is? Because journalists and politicians don't seem to know...... Or are you just talking out your hole....

    It's my opinion, everything I said is a direct quote from me.

    I don't think I have ever seen you express an opinion on anything except other users.

    Good for you. Keep em honest.

    I thought you were bothered by the fact we are not using all the levels! Because of all the other non-public health effects. You just can't do that overnight and it's based on an assumption that the end of October will be chaos. Nobody can say that off a set of projections and even 4 weeks of planning can do a lot.
    we need to act now to influence what happens at the end of october

    Some people won't be happy until we're all dead with covid.

    Anyone have the dublin numbers over the past 14 days?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,129 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    So you think they are holding back Dublin numbers

    Just a hypothesis but I'll leave it for today and see what the numbers are tomorrow, wouldn't want the copy paste merchants breathing down my neck as I'm able to formulated my own idea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,643 ✭✭✭✭expectationlost


    Appears that way . Since deaths are occuring but no discharges from ICU


    we're raising the levels to avoid covid getting into nursing homes, not just to prevent a rise in icu cases

    He’s not talking out of his hole. It’s well known that backlogs build up and are then cleared.

    For example, there were 518 positive swabs today, but only 432 cases announced. There will be days when cases exceed swabs as a result.

    This has been going on for months and, while it isn’t guaranteed that there are extra cases to be announced, it certainly wouldn’t surprise anyone following the figures if there was.

    432 per 4.9m give us a rate that's far lower than the vast majority of western Europe. It's hardly "not good".

    You joined the site a week ago and have posted the same angry/worried post in this thread 210 times.

    Go for a walk. Call a mate. Have a beer. This behavior isn't good for you

    That person has been trolling the thread for 5 or 6 months now in various guises.

    Hows things Chelsea Rent Boy or DangerScouse.

    Dublin not there yet but the signs are very promising. I guess... eh... the next few days are critical? And if Dublin (the most densely populated county in the country) can succeed under level 3 then it should work everywhere else too.

    we need to act now to influence what happens at the end of october
    What might happen and we can act as needed, going to Level 5 if it seems appropriate. They were the very ones who told us to be careful of reading too much into the projected data, as it changes.

    nursing home residents are a lost causes?

    70% survival rate for nursing home patients I heard on Newstalk earlier in Summer.

    Yes Donegal is in a bad place.
    I don’t see Dublin moving back to level 2 ahead if the rest of the country. Then you would have dubs travelling everywhere picking it up
    But the Dubs have been travelling everywhere and spreading it!

    The pubs being closed (even outdoors) might influence Dublin. Might need that rolled out to the the rest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,134 ✭✭✭caveat emptor


    I wouldn't advise reading into one days figures too much. There is a wide scatter. The trend has been fairly consistent. Hopefully the level 5 chat will "scare" people into compliance with the very strict advice. I won't be trying to cross the county border lest I get a frown off the gardai.

    Including today's case number of 51, Donegal's incidence rate stands at 293.98. Dublin's is 163.88, down from 167.07 yesterday. Monaghan's also stood at 206.89 yesterday.

    It'll be interesting to see if Donegal or Monaghan get Level 4 based on those rates.
