Leo just confirmed what I said on here a few days ago - hospitals having their quietest October ever. Of course i was pillared for saying it here.

Theirs a shortage of staff due to isolated from outbreaks and other reasons. I cant imagine how bad it will be if transmission increases

Yeah sad reality is that there are people who don't agree with the 'advice' or don't want to follow it for whatever reason.

I learned recently that in Germany the quarantine is managed by the border authority / federal police. If found to be in breach 25,000 euro fine.

That seems excessive but how much is this lockdown costing?

Sure, Don't have the link to hand. Here's the screenshot. I'll add it when I find it as a courtesy. Below from last night's discussion on this.

There quiet because a lot of procedures have been cancelled, patients are not getting called for scans etc.

Not just not getting called, long standing appointments are being postponed until well into next year, or sometimes no new date given at all. I have had three long standing hospital appointments cancelled for the last quarter of this year.

I started to get the 'don't turn up' letters just before the HSE plan for keeping services open, was revealed. I thought it was very ironic.

I have been messed about so much that I would need a secretary service to keep track of appointment changes, and I am sure I am not the only one. Despite the confusion that frequent changing of appointment dates is causing, I have not been asked to confirm receipt of the change letters and would bet that there will be a high number of non appearances for future appointments, because of the confusion being caused and the lack of effort to communicate effectively with patients, to ensure that they understand what is happening.

I think the appointment changing lark is so widespread at this stage that each letter should be followed up with a phone call to the patient to make sure that they are aware of the new arrangements so that they can actually turn up.

Or is that someone else's problem, for another time?

The tone of Tony's tweets is off putting - "everyone stay home"

Really high handed imo

I have not asked it "multiple times".

Why couldn't the doctor have certified the cause of death immediately?

Required in our case because of unexpected death. While her colleagues knew she had a stroke from the symptoms that she displayed right before she collapsed, the doctor didn't want to certify the cause of death as she wasn't a typical candidate for a stroke.

Just sounds like somebody trying to be perfectly clear, to me.

A case of reading something in a tone it wasn't written in??

In caps too. Like we’re all imbeciles incapable of understanding him.

It’s getting to the point where he’s going way above his remit here. A celebrity CMO, bizarre. Is he tweeting this because there’s actually been good news today?

redarmy · 25-10-2020 06:36PM

No further deaths.

1,025 new confirmed cases.

paulie21 · 25-10-2020 06:36PM

1025 cases no deaths

Gael23 · 25-10-2020 06:36PM

1025 cases and ICU up one

Pretty good considering there was a few hundred backlog to clear

Hopefully, but this can't be confirmed until we get swab numbers

prunudo · 25-10-2020 06:39PM

Given the discrepancy between swabs and cases the last couple days, todays number aren't overly concerning.
Unless today's swab count was particularly high but haven't seen that reported.

ACitizenErased · 25-10-2020 06:39PM

If the backlog is indeed included today then that insinuates ~700 positive swabs today

Wasn’t there something about not having full testing capacity this weekend due to the bank holiday and understaffing?

ACitizenErased · 25-10-2020 06:40PM

255 cases are in Dublin, 147 in Cork, 77 in Galway, 54 in Kildare, 53 in Donegal and the remaining 439 cases are spread across 21 counties

Only affects 600 tests, which were outsourced. So no.

Power trip stuff. As if he has the authority to tell people what they can and cannot do.

Yeah but the nvrl does a minority only. One of the other labs should be able to step up. We will see when we get swab data.

Well hopefully but I wouldn't read anything into today's data until we see the swab numbers

Seems more like people looking to be offended by him. He's just repeating what we all should know and be doing.

Is that not crossing a line of what’s in his remit?

Very close to it if not.

Hard to know, could back logged cases be playing their part in the up and down nature of counties daily numbers.

Jimson · 25-10-2020 06:44PM

1000 cases in a country with a population of 4,900,000.

Makes great sense to shut down the country. Open it backup. Media scaremongering has to stop. If your

He's not saying anything that the government hasn't told people to do.

Cue the predictable responses that nobody can tell anybody what to do :cool:

Those are the rules of level 5.

Reminding people of that would be within his remit.
