Thanks a mill for that.

Give up on the "backlog", look to 7 and 14 day totals!

use any total you want, there is a clear picture of continues community spread, nationwide.

even in places with 'stabilization', that 7 day totall is up and down with the daily figures

The backlog is also important, as it paints a clearer picture of a true 7 day then the announcement does

Isn’t that the guy who never actually had a positive test for Covid?

Assuming no backlog, probably in the 700-800 range this evening. If it's 500-600 then we can expect a record number tomorrow.

Not that important because it could be a whole host of things and not necessarily the same things all the time but it does give some people temporary "expert" status as they guess at it! It's also on my list of words I never need to hear again post-COVID!

Epidemiology page latest flu report for anyone interested

The 2020/2021 influenza surveillance reporting season has commenced. The influenza reporting season runs from October to May each year. The first weekly influenza surveillance report of the 2020/2021 season has been published on the HPSC website. www.hpsc.ie

There was no evidence of influenza virus circulation in Ireland during week 40 2020 (the week ending 4th October 2020). An increase in rhinovirus and enterovirus detections, which cause respiratory infections such as the ‘common cold’ was reported in September 2020, as usually occurs at this time of year when schools re-open.

I see Stephen Donnelly has backed himself into a corner by saying the schools won't have an extra long midterm, with how things are going the schools might not even last that long

I think Fianna Fáil have staked their whole government tenure on schools staying opened.
They’ll have egg on their face if they close.

So based on that: Sunday swabs 582 and announced 814.

Can I ask where u get the daily figure - I can only get the weekend totals on Monday!

Sunday test count was only 8187?

27 cases for Leitrim in the last 2 weeks and it seems few if any needing hospital treatment is more level 2 category than 4.

But where do we draw the line for areas to look at ? IMO
Ireland is realistically too small to use counties, as you can more or less be anywhere within a few hours drive.
I dunno what’s best tbh, can you lock down a county because of one town when another county might be only a mile away and unaffected ?
Could you lock down Munster because of Cork ? Or at the other extreme a housing estate with only one street afffected ? I know it’s silly but the point stands, what’s the right approach ?

Not at all, heard some other TD on tv yesterday and said that additional break at mid term was not “ in de plan”. That’s a get out of jail free card right there, change “de plan” and you can do whatever.
No one has a crystal ball to know what the next few weeks or months will bring, so expect “de plan” to change.

The NI administration doesn't have the money to go into lockdown. The appeals to WM for funding are being met with silence at the moment.

That is exactly my point. In the meantime, what do we do?, let it spread out of control down here too?
