Absolutely scandalous fear mongering

Can we get the 20000 plus recovered people on tv too.

I actually can’t believe this was allowed.

You can be sure he'll be put on the late late show this friday to try and scare/depress people even more.

It was people like you and Stephen Donnelly who were jumping to conclusions after a couple of relatively low days in Dublin and saying the Dublin trend was looking good. Dublin has been on level 3 for weeks now and it's making feck all difference in terms of driving the number consistently and substantially down.

Dublin has been pretty stable for the last 3 weeks. I never claimed anything other than that. Dublin won't have been helped by increasing infection rates in neighbouring counties. Level 3 everywhere should stabilise that.

Let's hope young people spend their days eagerly awaiting the pressers on RTE.

Widespread community transmission at the moment according to the CMO

Equals we don’t have the resources to trace the cases.

Get the guards to stop holding up working people going about their daily business and get them on the track and trace program.

Much more beneficial use of their time.

Poor track and trace servers

Do you honestly think 'young people' are tuned into RTE News Now to watch this? If they think that, they're completely and utterly out of touch.

No surprise if im honest. If tracing is collapsing as has been reported then there's going to be more community transmission.

Testing seems fine, public health just aren't resourced to the levels they were a few months ago

The message isn't and wont reach the target audience.

They have to try. The economy is going to collapse if we have to keep locking down..

Are you an outlier?

When there is an outbreak in a hospital and some patients get it, are those patients counted in the numbers in hospital with Covid even though they were already in hospital for some other reason?
The impression is being given that the numbers in hospital with Covid were admitted because they had Covid.

Russman · 12-10-2020 07:01PM

Somehow the phrase “widespread community transmission” seems very ominous.

It basically translates to "we can't keep up with the tracing"

Yes they are counted in the hospital totals.

You can like it or not but Dr Holohan is really making clear who to blame if this gets into more Nursing Homes .....

I agree, another lockdown will be a disaster, but they probably don't care about that either.

Nope, the message might get through if their parents tall about it, maybe they should get Til Tok users to spread the message, is that better?

Would think it's that media will report it. Say numbers watching this stays fairly static.

You're in total denial. What we're doing hasn't and isn't working and if we carry on regardless, things are just going to get even grimmer.

Poorside · 12-10-2020 07:05PM

Who is this Muppet trying to get Holohan to call a circuit breaker.
