    Hi. With level 3, can the standard Joe soap pub that serves the few pints open?

    Outdoors only. Outside Dublin. To max 15 ppl.

    I think you'll find that the opposition and general public have now accepted the fact that Level 3 was the only prudent decision and the one they would have made themselves. Yet again you just don't seem to have your finger in the pulse here.

    Who say's the pulse is right?

    Outside Dublin, outdoors only, max 15. If in Dublin then no.

    Right. So essentially most won’t open.

    Lord - they re opened on the 21st September and closed again on 7th October.

    Gov needs to hammer home ventilation evidence and guidance to keep peoples lives, businesses and jobs safe.

    Sorry, we don't look at anything outside the views of "Holhan's NPHET Squad"


    Maybe Ze German's know something they don't?

    The level 3 restrictions we all enter from midnight tonight is basically the same restrictions that was placed on Offaly, Kildare, Laois in August and those restrictions played a part to bring cases down and eventually lift restrictions.

    I know NPHET recommended it but what's so special in the level 5 restrictions that some posters on here are desperate for it to be applied nationwide?

    Not even a witty response. A pulse is neither right nor wrong: unlike your analysis of every aspect of this situation so far.

    Keep batting, but it's like a broken record of negativity for negativity's sake.

    There is ventilation advice on one of the gov websites and even more on the usa CDC website. As well as numerous research papers. Our local bus has uv filtered fresh air con. You can feel the difference, all those negative ions are great.:cool:

    Just looking at the rates.

    Seems the highest are in disadvantaged areas.

    Love to know what's the reason for this?

    I don’t know and I find it very disturbing.

    Ireland’s “we are all in this together” looking even less like a thing each day.

    Reminds me of the famous line from the iconic western The Lone Ranger of the sixties probably only remembered by a minority of posters.

    I was in Italy a few weeks ago, everyone takes it very seriously. The mask discipline and general behaviour was very good, even back then when cases all over Europe were very low. Maybe 30% of people in Rome were voluntarily wearing masks in the street when there was no advice to do so. I’m sure that that has a lot to do with it

    Good to hear how much power is in citizen's hands to stop this. Some posters make out as if a large and ongoing covid epidemic is somehow unavoidable destiny.

    Spain deaths since mid August approx 4000, 1545 in ICU
    Italy deaths since mid August approx 600, 319 in ICU

    Despite Italy having 30% larger population

    Similar age demographic, population density..clearly restrictions/population compliance is the major variable here. Italy are doing remarkably well for themselves currently.

    It would be great if you could do the same chart for Dublin

    Seen as though you asked nice. It does look encouraging. The spread is so wide that it could still ketch us on the hop but maybe it was pubs and restaurants indoors? Who knows. It looks like a monkey was throwing darts at the wall.

    Thank you! Yes it is encouraging. But you are right, too early to declare success.

    Oh, I don't think you have today's 111 cases plotted on the graph?

    And too early to declare Level 5 either?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,251 ✭✭✭speckle


    So basically, we need to self isolate all the loud extrovert over friendly social butterflys and open the windows. haha. But seriously, ventillation is a key paramator, that posters were talking about here earlier on but does seem to have been overlooked. I rember telling apartment dweller friends and family to keep their windows opened back at the end of february after seeing Asian research and protocols. Good you brought it up again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,634 ✭✭✭MerlinSouthDub


    And too early to declare Level 5 either?

    Definitely!

    Gonna snippet two key takeaways from that article...

    In study after study, we see that super-spreading clusters of COVID-19 almost overwhelmingly occur in poorly ventilated, indoor environments where many people congregate over time—weddings, churches, choirs, gyms, funerals, restaurants, and such—especially when there is loud talking or singing without masks

    Overdispersion and super-spreading of this virus are found in research across the globe. A growing number of studies estimate that a majority of infected people may not infect a single other person. A recent paper found that in Hong Kong, which had extensive testing and contact tracing, about 19 percent of cases were responsible for 80 percent of transmission, while 69 percent of cases did not infect another person.

    No worries. The data is up to the 4th so it might not be updated yet. I will have to wait for it to be updated.
