They're "strongly urge such businesses to do the right thing.":rolleyes:

Great to see the numbers decline. Level 3 restrictions kicking in now

Actual case numbers didn’t decline though

Positive rate did, becuase we did more tests

I agree. This government will mostly likely be seen as the worst in modern times.

How many governments DON'T get declared the worst in modern times at the time they're in government?

Let me guess, their hospitals are 2 weeks from getting overwhelmed.

Probably closer than that.

All hospital beds for patients with the coronavirus in and around Brussels are full already, with the University Hospital (UZ) even transferring patients to a hospital outside the Region.

“With a few exceptions, all the beds in Brussels and the surrounding area provided for coronavirus patients are already full,” Dirk Devroey, dean at the Faculty of Medicine of the VUB told VRT on Saturday. “Plans are being rolled out in all hospitals to free up hospital rooms for coronavirus patients.”

Hospital admissions for Covid-19 have risen steadily since July 30, when just 80 people were being treated for Covid-19. The exponential increase prompted Medical Care Minister Tamara van Ark to again ask for Germany's help in treating patients from the Netherlands in intensive care.

Actual case numbers are stable though. It does show that level 3 applied nationwide is enough to keep the Reproductive rate at 1. Mind you, there is still merit in moving to level 5 as it allows us reduce numbers, and might give scope to reopening bars/restaurants for a period. Interested in Philip Nolan's modelling tonight - it should be showing an R moving down to 1.

The next two weeks are critical in France, The Netherlands and Belgium.

Belgium has one of the highest death rates per capita at the moment. So, yeah, their situation is really critical. It has potential to get a whole lot worse. Two weeks? Every day for them becomes hugely significant.

yes we need t below 1 though, to achieve some sense of normality again

if all we want is stability and smallish growth, then 3 is fine

Theres a serious lack of compliance out there - its actually quite funny seeing all the "essential" shops open just because they sell a face mask or hand sanitizer.

However I did predict that compliance in level 5 restrictions would not be adhered to. One day in and its like theres no lock down at all!!!!

Our idiot over lords havent got it wrong again have they??

It wouldnt be the first time - case tracing failures,failure to plan for a second wave, Golfgate, 2 ministers resigning,U turns every couple of weeks, a taoiseach that doesnt even know how to speak in public (maybe hes retarded or something), A Tanaiste who just plays populist politics, a health minister who doesnt know whats going on in his department.

If i did half the **** ups this lot did Id be sacked on the spot.

These are the biggest joke of a government I have ever seen in my life.

What does it take for the electorate to call for their heads??

They just need to call a GE and get on with letting someone with half a brain manage the country and pandemic.

Apparently footfall is very low in Dublin city centre. Some shops that are now open might close if there aren't enough customers to make it worthwhile. Outside of the city centre might be different.

Hopefully she will make a full recovery. Looks like she is stable according to the article, but 1 in 4 in Brussels test positive. Bad situation there

All the best to the lady but why do we like talking about the rarities but we dont like talking about the overwhelming patterns?

BorneTobyWilde · 22-10-2020 04:42PM

Level no one cares 5

Seems to me everyone and anyone is still open, no change. It's no where near Level 5 out there

Not correct, the day we did the most tests was one of, if not the highest positivity rate

fwiw I'm Irish and I think if your training was paid for by the State, you should have to work X years in the health service, either public or private (where your taxes will be paying it back). When you consider the cost of training a doctor, it's not sustainable at the moment.

I think this happens in Canada and Australia.
If you don't want the strings, pay for the training yourself.

And will you apply that to every person who receives training/education paid for by the state?

Think its fairly important since she was leading the covid response in belgium and is fairly high up in the country. Not due to her being 45

Today is a bad day in the hospital. Frightening how much staff are off through close contacts/positive tests. Currently trying to get through to occy health to see if I need to self isolate. ****!

Yep, happened in my lab, which is a fairly small specialised service. Five people were off in our lab isolating as they work closely with a confirmed positive case until they were cleared by Occ health. We all had to try and cover as best we could, but if there are repeat situations it will have a detrimental effect on our service cover. These are the kind of knock on effects of widespread community transmission on hospital services.

They live together, sleep together so what would them sitting separately on the bus archieve?

It's to minimise the distance between themselves and other passengers.

Reminds me of homestore and more being able to reopen initially, but they had to close off the non kitchenware section.
So a clothing store staying open, solely to sell PPE sounds reasonable, but obviously they are taking advantage of a loophole.

Definitely busier in Dublin than it was back in March/April and that was outside of school opening or closing for the day.

I suppose there's a lot more still working with construction and the likes still on. That mixed with fatigue.

France, Netherlands, Belgium all in a bad way. Might be glad of these restrictions yet.

Surely restrictions aren't worth much unless schools close? If this virus is here to stay, they need a blended approach at the very least.

I got a call from the contact tracers today to tell me I'm a contact, my husbands test was Monday. They just ask him who his contacts are and what their numbers are. It was actually much more efficent to do it ourselves, me, my kids and friend are already isolated and tested. He was also waiting until today to get his code to upload to the app which is a very long time in my opinion

When you say that they asked him who is contacts are, do you mean his phone contact list or the people he believes he had direct contact with. And if the latter, did they give him guidance? Thanks and good luck with the test.

Unexpected scenes in my local Dunnes - didn't have to queue to enter (you would during lockdown #1) and there wasn't a run on toilet paper.

No..I’m pretty sure that contracts that enable an agreement between two parties to be binding has NOT been frowned upon for, well forever.

I sign for Manchester United tomorrow, have a row with the boss on Monday, hate my teammates... I can’t walk, I’m under contract. Same should apply in medical terms here, especially when circa 300,000 grand is being shelled out for you by the public... you ‘can’ go but you owe the investment in you back to who paid for it, the people of this country.

Be in a lot healthier state re: covid if we had this.

Talk to the interns who work in our hospitals almost around the clock for peanuts before they can be fully qualified. Then talk to the graduate nurses who couldn't get a contract from the HSE. It's not as simple as you seem to think it is.
