You're an expert on policing crowds of course.

Time to give the Gardaí tasers and let them at that shower of feicers on Grafton street
Then scoop them up with a bulldozer and dump in the duck pond in the Green

Do you feel big behind your keyboard calling for violence?

Half the schools in the north have had positive cases since the return to school - it would be interesting to see the numbers for the south to see if they're comparable:

And by all means equate the infinitesimal risk associated with an asteroid, with the very real risk associated with a pathogen that is dangerous to large portions of the population

Lol where did I do that? No mention of a pathogen in my post

I only recommended taking the safety-ist approach to hurtling asteroids. Yes the risk is infinitesimal but that doesn't mean you shouldn't exercise caution.

Good graph showing Europes increasing cases.

Speaking of hospitals on another thread

310 yesterday
31 admissions
24 discharges
311 today

Presuming 6 deaths but it might not be.

You should still wear a mask, there could be alien virus or bacteria on that asteroid.

Looks really like L3 has stabilised hospitalisations but maybe it's too early to tell?
Wonder if we may see an earlier exit from L5 if that's the case, Israel ended it's second lockdown earlier than expected as cases dropped faster than was predicted

I was listening to an interview on Claire Byrne this morning, about the debacle of a sudden school closure at midnight due to an inadequate provision of safe hand sanitiser. Are you kidding me. That a single teacher couldn't travel to a local shop and purchase a few bottles of a different brand. Or would the claim back in expenses be too awkward. I stop short of a culture of entitlement, but contrast that to the genuine crisis that developed in the nursing home in east Galway. One care assistant had to keep the place afloat for several days without adequate support. What the hell is wrong with this country.

Out of curiously, why isn't there a correlation between the re-opening of schools and universities in Ireland with the recent sharp increase in Covid cases ..... like they are admitting in Poland, the US, etc.? Or are the authorities here in denial?

Drawing conclusions from that (or any other) correlation where many other variables are at play isn't sound IMO.

The other major factor would be the weather, people are closing windows in houses and not gathering in gardens because it is colder so we are seeing a seasonal rise in infectivity.

It must be me. Because what you're saying makes no sense to me.

China says China has 80k infected and 4k deaths.

WHO is saying China has 800k (or even 1.5m) infected and 4k deaths.

Easy to not know about infected. Not so easy to overlook deaths. Deaths stays the same.

Edit: I like the username btw. Had an album from them that I loved.

This is junior certificate statistical analysis level.
1: Sample = 79k people infected with Covid-19.
2: Follow the trajectory of each persons illness and recovery or death and record it.
3: Put the data into a spreadsheet.
4: Run the data model algorithm.

All the stuff you mentioned is deflection and nonsense. The sample that the scientists used is 79k infected people. Were there any more deaths or infections in China in February?, Probably.
But that's irrelevant to the scientists findings, because the study was carried out on those 79K people only.

Department of education only allow equipment like hand sanitizer from certain suppliers. They revoked the approval for one of them yesterday. They aren't allowed just purchase other hand sanitizer.

I do agree it's a crazy system.

Once it gets in to nursing homes the deaths shoot up, I realise that many of the nursing homes patients don't get to hospital.

The Oxford Blavatnik School Covid stringency index shows in Europe that while the U.K. and Ireland are at tough restriction levels they’re nowhere near April/May.

You really think NPHET are going to allow that? The 6 week timeline has been established now, they'll milk it for all it's worth, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to extend it a week or two to really get the numbers down.

This is almost a given, based on past evidence. One gets the impression they really didn't want to give any metrics at all.

Here's a metric for you

Risk of exposure to Covid-19 is 100 times higher than in June

Yeah but it was about 1 in 20,000 back then! Don't mind them putting the frighteners on with that, some people are not listening.

Yes, workers should be personally financing the safety of their workplace when their employer fails to provide adequately.

Name one shop that would sell a crate of approved sanitizer at 11pm?

If a hand sanitizer was purchased locally by a teacher and little Johnny used it and got an allergic reaction - who do you think would be hung out to dry? It's the few parents that would be the problem. Incidentally, I'm not a teacher!

There is a reason why procurement of stuff follows a process. Although I do appreciate the irony - it was done 'properly' this time and they still made a balls of it.
