    777 we are back back baby, let the good times roll.

    Seems like a huge drop compared to our usual 1000. It's too early to tell if it's a good sign, isn't it?

    Not bad numbers, 7 deaths is high but probably to be expected considering the high numbers the last few week that and the few nursing home outbreaks.
    Fingers crossed now that numbers will continue to fall..

    That whole saving the cases to spook us doesn't sit well anymore, especially when the backlog results in a relatively low case figure on a Friday evening.

    There is a 261 difference between swabs and announced. I wouldn’t be getting too excited based on today’s announced figure.

    The real figure is probably about 1,000, which is a drop on yesterday, but a relatively small one.

    No way would they drop that quick, especially compared to how high Northern Ireland has continued.

    They're just short of physically dressing you, it couldn't be any handier and probably cheaper too.

    Level 3 did nothing, virtually no measures introduced that would make the numbers drop this quick.

    A 25% drop in cases overnight, we've cracked the code.

    True. But its a drop and a drop from level 3. Fingers crossed.

    2 day level 5 effect..

    Shame our politicians have no balls and couldnt wait to see if the effect of level 3 + would work before ruining a large cohort of societies lives for 6 weeks

    Local flooring shop open here. Bike shop open in the neighbouring village. My daughter works in a bookshop who are staying open as newspapers are apparently an essential service. This despite the fact that there are two supermarkets next door both selling papers. Had to bring shopping to my mother in Beaumont today and traffic was at normal volumes.

    Aren't bike shops allowed to be open?

    My local Tesco Extra has blocked off the clothes section, with the exception of some children's clothing (might be only underclothes and the like, I didn't pay too much attention) and men's underwear.

    Roughly 200 cases unaccounted for when you take into account 60-70 average re-tests per day.

    The swabs tell a different story, our cases haven't fallen to that extent so quickly.

    I know but they had levelled off and we had found a landing spot to try live a normal enough life, but no as always with this virus we react in a knee jerk way

    You're reacting like there is a definite trend. I'd love this to be a sign of a significant reduction but it's just too early to say yet and hasn't been a feature of the figures long enough. So claiming this a level three impact that doesn't require a level five could be premature outrage.

    Is there a backlog from any other day or just the 200+ from today

    5 weeks of level three in Dublin coupled with two nationally would be my conclusion tbh

    Yeah, before today the swabs in the last 13 days were 15,285 and announced was 14,977.

    Approx 2% swabs not turning into announced cases, and it definitely appears there are 200-250 more cases to come.
