There will be no drunks in the shining, germ-free city of the future.

Care homes are currently testing fortnightly.

Are you counting today's Dublin number being twice yesterday's bringing the average back up above the level of a few days ago when it started falling.

Yes. The 7 day average is lower than it was 7 days ago. Just slightly lower, mind you.

Nursing home residents sneaking out the windows and headin to the pubs obviously.

Oh god, my late mother used to say this for a laugh. She never drank but would talk about escape if needed! Love it.

Michael Martin must be laughing to himself people blaming Leo or Tony

It's stabilised at a fairly high number 1155 v 1180 over subsequent 7 day periods.

At that rate by Christmas you'd be at 900 a week.

There has to be a sweepstakes going between the journalists as to who can make Tony walk.

ChikiChiki · 07-10-2020 06:52PM

Yeah it doesn't ****ing matter anymore. Interrogating Tony on Sunday timelines. Stupid question and a waste of time.

Yes and that would be perfectly manageable.

The journalists are asking very dumb questions.

Paddygreen · 07-10-2020 06:52PM

Im brainstorming here, we need some fresh slogans guys. Stay home stay safe hold firm the next three weeks are crucial we are all in it together is great but I think things need to be jazzed up a bit. “Kill capitalism to kill the virus “ is my suggestion.

martingriff · 07-10-2020 06:53PM

So Tony rang Donnelly twice on Sunday did I heat that right!!!

So why was nothing done until Monday

Funsterdelux · 07-10-2020 06:53PM

What time do you take a dump at?

He's met the Government a few times over the last few days. I'm not convinced at all that the claims of tension between Government and NPHET are accurate.

I'm wondering that myself, I'm wondering is this a stage play to prepare us mentally.

RickBlaine · 07-10-2020 06:53PM

Nonsense question about the time of the phone call. Sure why not ask what brand of coffee he was drinking during the call.

It's incredibly dim stuff. First time I've watched one of these in a while.

Looking increasingly likely we'll need a circuit breaker in November/early December.

We all need a hug and a jar at Christmas.

Spanish Eyes · 07-10-2020 06:54PM

At this stage we will be ok. Used to the rules and will be patted on the head for observing etc. Hope everyone does.

Forget about the Winter. There isn't much to get us over that, Covid or not.

Thierry12 · 07-10-2020 06:54PM

20 days average hospital stay for Covid can't be right?

3,676 patients have went to hospital with Covid

That's 73,520 hospital days

Covid is here what 200 days, nearly 7 months?

367 patients daily on average have been staying in hospital over the last 7 months

I don't get it, anyone good at the math?

Faugheen · 07-10-2020 06:55PM

I swear it always seems to go back to Donnelly.

A row between Leo and NPHET will now be about Donnelly tomorrow

Gods Gift · 07-10-2020 06:56PM

Looks like I picked a bad year to buy lorry loads of mistletoe.

How about wear your mask wash and sanatize your hand and keep doing social distancing. People can still do there shopping but no your quiet apocalyptic version is better.

Please tell me what are we to do when there is no ICU beds or high dependance where hospitals are so overrun that other much needed procedures have done are stopped. What is your suggestion

froog · 07-10-2020 06:57PM

lol at these reporters thinking they're woodward and bernstein with the time questions.

20 days definitely isn't right. Maybe they meant ICU patients or something?

Roots 2020 · 07-10-2020 06:57PM

I haven't watched the conference in months.

Hats off to those who watch it each time. It should come with a health warning (non Covid!). Absolutely depressing.
