    Lots of commentary about schools on this thread, so I thought I'd post this again (previously posted on the schools thread).

    It's a twitter thread about infection rates by age, using ONS data in the UK (random population sample, unbiased by testing rates/symptoms etc).

    It shows how the infection rate in primary school children is increasing at a much slower rate than overall. At secondary school, the picture isn't as good, but still much better than young adults (where infection rates have gone through the roof). It's UK data, but their approach is similar to ours. It's very clear what is driving infection rates and it's definitely not schoolchildren. Worth a read.

    Positive swabs the last 3 days - 3,093
    Announced positives the last 3 days - 3,111

    'Backlog' of 18 cleared.

    So they'll close the rest of the businesses next week, then 2 weeks later the numbers still aren't coming down as we know the risk is negligible. Where do we go to then? They seem determined to leave schools open whatever happens.
    Meanwhile we'll have spent more billions on employment and business supports.

    It's already ripping but deaths are low.

    Very deflated Nepht team tonight I think. Nobody is listening including the government

    Have you looked at any of the data at all? Young adults (19-24) are where we are seeing the biggest increase in infection rates, by far.
    Philip Nolan specifically referenced this today.

    Im sorry i see 15-24 group in all data surging and i fear school children arent been swabbed enough as deemed untouchable


    It is blindlingly obvious what has happened, the dog on the street knows it

    Tony: "The government's not going to wipe your nose"


    Thought he was about to say something else :eek:

    He's flustered today.

    "the government is not going to wipe your arse".

    I thought he was going to finish his line with arse.

    I love Tony. They are drilling out the message that this is in the hands of the public and the actions we do.

    Great post backed by data. Expect the usual blowback by the school obsessives.

    This is a random sample - the level of swabbing has no impact. Please read the thread, and try to learn rather than making up theories with zero data. Thank you.

    I'd like to see the average age of those in ICUs. Maybe we are twice as good as every other country.

    I knew nobody with a positive Covid test on October 1.
    Now I know 5 people. Galway was doing so well but is fast becoming a problem county.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    School children are being swabbed at a higher rate than other age groups. There is no hiding for them as the schools are monitoring temps, sniffles etc. No other age groups are overseen in such a manner.

    You might think it's obvious but the data is not on your side.

    It's personal behaviour that people should not doing at this point. Even if all shops shut tomorrow such continued behaviour would still drive cases higher.

    Problem is, he’s expected to be team doctor and physio too, a stretch too far for him and his staff, and through no fault of their own.

    Well I read the ad and then I googled how to cancel my Irish Times subscription and sent them the required email to cancelmysubscription .

    Somebody paying for ads containing rubbish have a deeper agenda that most likely not benefiting ordinary people in society.

    Which of the bullet points did you disagree with? Or was it the graph?

    I find when my emotions take over and I become angry or flustered from reading new information or hearing other people's perspectives the best course of action is to try and keep calm and examine the source of where that's coming from. Seems to have touched a nerve anyway.

    EU governments starting to do there own thing again, the borders will be going back in sooner rather than later I suspect.
    Germany’s foreign ministry has warned against non-essential travel to France, the Netherlands, Malta and Slovakia from Saturday due to high coronavirus infection rates.

    We never got to the overwhelmed stage, at which point the death rate can shoot up.

    Dublin and rest of ROI numbers since the introduction of Level 3 in Dublin

    Level 3 did slow it down in Dublin but it looks that the R Level could not sustain the needed 1.0 and is likely at 1.1 to 1.2 range so now we are beginning to see it show another increasing growth in new cases. Rest of ROI showing no evidence yet of any slowdown in Level 3.

    I knew maybe 2-3 people all along, I now know 7 in the last 3 days.
    1 is one of my very good friends, who has barely left the house and believes they caught it in a chipper.
    It appears one town in particular in Cork (starts with c and ends with -aline) is particularly problemsome atm.

    A Dutch company has developed a breathalyser test which will almost instantly exclude people who do not carry the coronavirus.

    The device which can detect particles in people’s breath, was tested on 1,800 people in an Amsterdam testing facility. They then had the more time consuming PCR test. Investigations showed that some 1,350 people could have been sent home immediately had they taken only the breathalyser test. The device was able to exclude coronavirus in three quarters of the participants but was inconclusive in the remaining quarter.

    His ego? For reals? The man is trying to get people to listen since the government aren't acting on the advice. Like many people he's frustrated because he's screaming into the void at this point.

    Ego. Jesus.

    Dublin and rest of ROI numbers since the introduction of Level 3 in Dublin

    Level 3 did slow it down in Dublin but it looks that the R Level could not sustain the needed 1.0 and is likely at 1.1 to 1.2 range so now we are beginning to see it show another increasing growth in new cases. Rest of ROI showing no evidence yet of any slowdown in Level 3.

    I suspect the dailly commute into Dublin brought it back up in Dublin (as case numbers rise outside Dublin).

    By the way thanks for doing this Dublin chart over the last weeks. Its something I've appreciated.

    It's interesting to see how Dublin has gone from over 50% of the national numbers to around 25%.

    Ego. Jesus.
    The government made a different call by considering a lot of other things. We could still end up in the same place. The frustration here is with how people are still behaving.
