Mod warnings:

Please interact in a civil manner
Do not tell others what to do, or what to post
It is against site rules to seek or offer any medical advice. Please do not post here about your symptoms asking what to do. Contact your doctor by telephone and they can advise you as appropriate
If you have a problem with a post report it and leave the modding to the mods

In terms of thread content:

Treat everything you read here with caution. Anything posted is from an anonymous internet poster. You cannot assume anyone has any "specialist" knowledge whatever they claim
Statistics are important to some (and I personally pay a lot of attention to them), but they are of very little use to anyone who is already caught up in this, or indeed knows of people who are caught up
Whatever your own views are please recognise others are entitled to different views., Even if at different extremes please do not try and repeatedly ram your views down the throats of those who have differing views
Cut out any cover-up/conspiracy stuff. If you have a reliable source quote it (not just their words but provide a link to a reliable source) - otherwise your claims carry little if any weight. If you wish to discuss conspiracy theories we have a dedicated forum for that and it’s not this one
If the likes of the HSE have a verified Twitter account we can assume what they post is accurate. Randomers on here or elsewhere cannot be considered "official" or "reliable" sources
If people wish to flout the restriction rules that is up to them. They cannot complain at the consequences, be that direct action from the authorities, exposure in Social Media (not here) or being shunned by locals, friends, family etc. If they post about it here, or encourage others to flout the rules, trying to appear macho, or thinking they are above the rules or simply being a smart arse, posting privileges will be removed
If you don't want to see discussion about Trump perhaps stay clear of this thread between the hours of 22:00 and 01:00. This is a thread for "breaking news" so please do not expect posters to discuss things happening "now" in other threads. It's not discouraged but equally posters expect to discuss such issues in this thread (added 14/04/20)
There is absolutely no good reason top try and forecast or predict daily numbers, so do not do so

And now a maths lesson:
“Average” is a non-defined term. “Mean” and “Median” are both mathematically defined terms.
Mean = the sum of a series of numbers divided by the number of items in the series
Hence the Mean of 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 7, 8 = (1+2+3+3+4+7+8)/7 = 4
Median is the midpoint number. In the above example it’s the 4th number in the sequence of 7 numbers – in this case 3
Both numbers are examples of “averages”. Not every average is the “Mean”, not every average is the “Median”, but every “Mean” and every “Median” number is an average

All threadbans carry over, but we will reconsider if anyone wishes to discuss it further via PM

Before my current job I worked taking calls and logging incidents onto the Pulse system.

The amount of inane nonsense the Gardai actually get called out to is truly eye opening. Talking shadows in alleys, a rustle of a bin, some randomer walking down the street type sh1te.

I can only imagine what it's like now with the extra restrictions.

Was your previous username Narco?

Did anyone ring in to report their snowman has been stolen?

No we only had the TrafficWatch line open to the public. The rest was the Gardai themselves contacting us.

So these re-infections aren't outliers. But we live in Ireland so that's an exception.

I think you took the wrong thing from that article, but then that seems to have been the intention.

Its unbelievable, have heard some absolutely mental calls. One recently rang up every 20 minutes to say there were 2 young lads out kicking a ball on the street and that it was causing anxiety as they're spreading the virus.

How on earth can you be going around dealing with that all day long

Yes, if you sell food or drink - or newspapers you don't need to close.

I heard a couple of toy stores recently started selling newspapers and magazines.

Hopefully they ll get their stock levels up. We'd ordered 2 items for collection last week and when it came to collect, one of the items were out of stock. Bit of a dose if you have to travel.

Luckily it was just an additional item. We usually have most of the kids stuff gotten before halloween in general, avoids disappointment.

Not at the moment they're not anyway, as busy as ever and as much overtime as they want for checkpoints.

Still have to check pubs and restaurants during level 5 they were told. Open for takeaway so they'll still be going around checking.

There was a lull in the first few months but they don't expect that now during the winter. Unfortunately from his experience a huge spike in domestic violence related calls and requests for welfare checks related to such. Those calls will always take priority.

Are the guards not quieter than ever though, or certainly will be again when we go into lockdown. Crime figures went right down for the 5 months or so when our movements were restricted and before pubs/restaurants opened. With people not being out in town, there’s no drunken crowds to control, no anti-social behavior, no fights, not even pubs/restaurants to check up on to ensure they’re following the guidelines.

If they bring in this power, what will the guards be doing to they can’t respond to calls of this nature, when the rest of the country are in their homes.

sure the Gardaí have their own issues with members of the force doing tests and carrying on regardless, get your own house in order Drew before you bang on anyone else door.

The whole house party thing was wildly exaggerated. There are far more significant factors at play in the spread of the virus.

Exactly. House party as defined by NPHET is a few people meeting in a house for a cuppa tea and a bun. Almost none related to 4am booze fests.

Sent it onto a mate who's a Garda in Dublin (posted a few things he's said to me before), his reply was basically changes nothing, might act as a deterrent but that those calls are bottom of a queue and get the standard we'll send a car when it's a available response, said they haven't been and won't be responding to calls all night long in relation to gatherings. He says other colleagues have said that if you wanted you could spend the whole night on just calls for gatherings and they don't.

His inspector told them this morning to police the same was as they have been throughout.

If there's only 1 free car park it'll be jammers

Yes but (if they ban doubles) it still the case that only two people will fit on a tennis court at one time and those two people will be separated by the net.
