    254 in Dublin.

    147 in Cork.

    39 in Cavan.

    38 in Donegal.

    37 in Kildare.

    Remaining 310 across 20 other counties.

    Oh that Dublin number is a big disappointment. Was hoping to go back down today.

    The comments are intersting.... this is the same lad that was in the news a few weeks ago. While this happens its not common, can't help but feel this to try get the minority who don't follow guidelines to cop on, but they can roll people out each week as they've done doesn't seem to make much difference

    It is a bit odd to focus on statistical outliers as representative of the overall population. That's the sort of disingenuous behaviour one would expect from 5g anti maskers. I don't see the relevance to a press conference either. Give the facts and nothing else.

    Go away posting that crap, adds nothing to any discussion

    Holohan is actually doing a press conference now.

    High for Dublin and Cork :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 387 ✭✭Goldrickssan


    So is it not the pubs after all?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,101 ✭✭✭BringBackMick


    Just to reiterate, Drivetime made that announcement that Holohan, Donnelly and Micheal Martin were currently in a meeting.

    Sounded ominous to me.

    No, no it’s not, not at all.

    Dublin figure today goes with what we’ve seen

    Level 3 doesnt work effectively!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,666 ✭✭✭harr


    While numbers aren’t jumping dramatically 800 plus is to high and Dublin again over 200 you would have to wonder the effects of level 3 surely at this stage the level 3 restrictions should be kicking in.
    I live rural enough and again the past few days I am hearing of more localised clusters.

    Cavan is way above both given it small population.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 477 ✭✭AlphaDelta1


    Yeah after the initial optimism that L3 could work it looks like it's failing in Dublin. Had really hoped to see that number down towards the 100 mark

    Cases have halved in Cavan over the last 24 hrs. That wont make the headlines though. Its all only numbers anyway. No point in them unless you know when,where,community or cluster.

    The WHO said last week that's it's highly likely that 10% of the global population have had covid.

    Thought that was only My Generation:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,074 ✭✭✭MarkY91

    Sure they only closed the other day in 90% of the country???


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,329 ✭✭✭owlbethere


    There was a piece on the news at the start where the authorities are asking and urging the public to keep their close contacts low. The main benefit to this would be to slow the spread of the virus. The less people meeting, the less chance the virus has to spread.

    I'm waiting for covid results and I'm hoping it will be a negative result and I think it will be. I kept my circle very small and my contacts very low. All I had to do was make 2 phone calls and ask - 'are you sick or showing any symptoms'? There's no one in my circle sick. If my results do come back positive, I was able to pinpoint the possible places where I was exposed. I ate out twice since Saturday the 26th of September. Social distancing was maintained at all times. The two places were not packed. One place was for breakfast and empty. The other place was for lunch. It was hot and stuffy there with some more people but not full. I'm leaning more towards this place towards a possible exposure.

    It's good to keep the contacts low and also the movements in public indoor spaces low too. I'm never eating out again until one of two things happen:
    1) the virus cases get under control with low numbers
    Or
    2) vaccine come through.

    Shame on people saying he didn’t have covid. Tested positive for antibodies. People need to cop on.

    Well, we had two low days in Dublin followed by 3 high days. Let's give it a few more days before jumping to a conclusion.

    Still definitely the pubs are largely to blame. Keep most of them shut because absolutely nothing is happening in the schools.

    More government propaganda as I receive it.
