Can anyone remind me how many tests were done to get these numbers?

NPHET don't want to do anything progressive. They're happy to blame the public to cover up their failures. The easiest thing for them to do is call for lockdowns as they get paid regardless.

NPHET failures pray tell what they are. Hospital beds and size and setting up anything for them are theres and the HSE failures

Open up ta Feck. Its flu season it's inevitable its going to spread. Isolate the vunerable and let the rest of us live.

What an original and never before said insight

When it circulates in society, it still gets to vulnerable people. Do you not think people in nursing homes are not being isolated currently? And yet there have been outbreaks in nursing homes again already. Elderly and ill people don't exist in vaccuums, they live with other people or may be cared for people who you are advocating should live 'normally'. Even if these carers and contacts of the vulnerable try to be careful, if it's spreading widely they will inevitably bring it back to places where vulnerable people are attempting to isolate

They aren't restricting you from anything.
That would be the government

You've been around long enough to know NPHET advise the government and it's the government that make the decision based on that and it's the government that impose the restrictions.

I think you know that already though....

In relation to schools...they are deliberately not including very obvious close contacts. E.g. child tests postive..but teacher isn't included in close contacts because the classroom layout shows the teachers chair is 2 metres away from said positive child...it's absolute BS. Not taking into account the teacher and other children outside the pods have walked around the class and breathed in the same air for 6 hours.
I have genuinely heard of one case where a child was postive and the SNA was not deemed a close contact despite working with and beside that child all day. Why they were not deemed a close contact? Because they were wearing a mask.
So the figures from schools are not accurate in my opinion.

In secondary schools a teacher friend has told me that someone sitting either side of a positive case didn't need to be tested as they were all wearing masks and as such weren't close contacts. Another student in the class tested not sitting near the student became symptomatic a few days later and also tested positive. No others in the class tested. Bizarre

1,012 cases huh.
Just go into level 4/5 lockdown already. It's rising too fast.

... And for those who don't want that lockdown? look there is gonna be one at some point. Wouldn't it be best to do it now for 3 or 6 weeks so things can be reopened for Christmas and certain people won't be alone for Christmas?

Level 5 lockdown. Gets the cases down and back open for Christmas.

What happens at Christmas when we open up ?

I don’t understand how they can let thousands of people train for sport 7 nights a week and think it has no effect , and I say this as a player .

Especially GAA are getting away with it

Since entering level 3 I am pretty sure the numbers in dublin have levelled off?

Well, it was never going to stop it. But looks like it has stabilised things.

I see all the NPHET apologists and Dr. Tony worshippers are out in force tonight.

landofthetree · 10-10-2020 07:56PM

The 3-day average of new cases has hit 710.

But crucially, Dublin's average is still below peak which was hit last week. 241 cases is high, but it follows 123 yesterday and just 90 the day before.

The key point here is that once Level 3 kicks in, it *should* halt the growth.

Despite the growth, we're still at less than 1% of the population officially having tested positive.

NPHET did not bring them I . The government brought in the restrictions. They are the ones in charge. Whatever happens it falls on them. As Donnelly said when he could no longer use the it's the virus faults phrase

Schools are being managed, there's a whole host of public health teams on it. They maintain that cases in schools are not coming from schools.

I don't buy it. At the end of August, when kids were heading back to school, we were recording about 80-150 cases a day. It's surged upwards. Kids going back to school has been a sacred cow for the government so I suspect that we're getting spin here.

There's no logical way I can see that it hasn't had an impact on numbers. All the things we've been advised not to do are happening in schools.

10-10-2020 07:59PM

The last time there were 241 cases in Dublin, there was only 155 in the rest of the country combined. Hopefully the bigger numbers will impact behaviour to get a degree of control back. Should perhaps announce a 3 week mid term for schools, give people a bit of time to plan.

You mean people who are blinded by ignorance and misleading headline numbers that would make the editor of the Daily Express blush.

Is there a definitive answer on it? No.

I've read the speculation, I know we can extrapolate the ICU / death rates and come up with ballpark case figures. Its's still far from definitive and there's a lot of assumptions made.

Is the Earth flat?
There's not a definitive answer on that either going by those that say it is.
