    That's a big hospital increase
    We shall see tomorrow. In general hospital discharges can be slow at a weekend.

    I do agree it is somewhat worrying.

    Liege in Belgium has 1 in 3 of those who can get tested testing positive and they are asking doctors who are infected but asymptomatic to keep working :(

    Hopefully covid positive asymptomatic staff or those with antibodies are working with covid positive patients.
    Caveat and none of the staff are false postives.

    Today's numbers are a little disappointing I would say. But hard to draw any real conclusions until we get the swab data tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,199 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    Don't put a hex on that FGS. But I get your hopefullness.

    We shall see. Probably won't see the results for weeks anyway.

    The record turnout for early voting means his time is more than likely up. Republicans tend to vote on the day. Donald will console himself with the idea that the election was rigged, the fake media were part of the conspiracy.

    7 day average today is 1014 compared to 1100 last week.

    I wouldn’t get too excited, it’s a bank holiday weekend.

    Be interesting to see where we are by the end of the week.

    Yep stubbornly stuck there

    Hopefully it starts to decrease later this week

    When level 5 kicks in in about 10 days we'll see Dublin numbers fall.


  • Registered Users Posts: 387 ✭✭Goldrickssan


    Its not in level 3 so that doesnt really matter anymore

    It is relevant when the goal when we leave level 5 is going back to level 3


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,616 ✭✭✭MerlinSouthDub

    Well level 3 does seem to give stability, so if numbers to down as they should in level 5, it is very low risk to move to level 3. Level 2 in December, on the other hand, sounds pretty risky to me

    We just need to hold steady until Level 5 kicks in next week sometime.

    Might be risky but I'm not sure the government can afford not to at least have the travel aspect of level 2 as people will travel to see friends, family, partners at Christmas no matter what level the government say

    7 day average today is 1014 compared to 1100 last week.


    So on average we have dropped less than a 100 cases. Not good at all. We need to be dropping more on a weekly basis. This day week we need to be less than 800 average. If we a striving for level 3. But I think it will be level 2 opening for December.

    Sorry, yes, they will definitely let people travel. Don't think they'll open pubs/restaurants though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,599 ✭✭✭✭CIARAN_BOYLE


    7 day average today is 1014 compared to 1100 last week.

    Breakdown of contact tracing last weekend meant 1400 cases approx slipped through the cracks over the last week.

    Some people did their own contact tracing to an extent. Others didn't. We don't know how many did.

    My negative mind suggests 700 slipped through the cracks and things are basically flat for the week.

    We are dropping under Level 3 restrictions. That is very positive.

    Agree about travel and pubs. I think they might leave actual restaurants open.

    Level 3 didn't give stability in Dublin, it just slowed down the rise in cases.

    It may work when we get to the stage that we don't have many cases. It may prevent another lockdown if we stick at level 3 when we come out of this.

    Were you expecting numbers in Dublin to be lower?
    I think the one conclusion we can draw from Dublin is that level 3 was not enough, despite what Leo said. However, I think by the end of this week we will begin to see the effects of level 5 come through in case numbers. However if cases do not drop fairly substantially after a couple of weeks, who will be the scapegoat then? , will it be feckless construction workers on their lunch break, maybe people leaving their windows closed at home.
    As we all know the virus does a u- turn when it approaches a school building, it seeks out the nearest private home instead.

    Let's be positive. Look around the world. We are holding our own well.

    Sorry its not. Remember 3 of those counties were level 4 and Dublin was at level 3 for about 5 week I think. It not good enough to hold steady. But I for one thought we wold see a greater decrease today.

    Source for that BS claim? Our test numbers don't reflect us missing 1400 cases based on the positivity rate.

    Wouldn’t bet on it. I thought the timing of that news article on Covid spreading on an aircraft was dubious to say the least. I can’t actually see us back at level 3 anytime soon being honest much as I hate this lockdown rubbish.

    That's exactly why we moved to Level 5. Wait 10 days and see if it is working. Takes around 3 weeks to work.

    I'm not saying level 5 will not work. It will work. But have we to stay in level 5 just to keep numbers down. Level 3 didn't work that was clear to see.

    Source for that BS claim? Our test numbers don't reflect us missing 1400 cases based on the positivity rate.

    2000 people not contact traced. Average 5.2 contacts person. 11000 contacts missed. Average positivity among contact traced persons is circa 13%. They went through this in the press briefing during the week. George Lee asked the question I believe.

    Therefore 1400 cases missed from contact tracing snafu.

    Some of them were picked up from people doing their own contact tracing but others weren't.

    As I said me feeling negative suspects 700 were missed leaving the week basically level.

    So you're basing this on George Lee and some tissue paper math?

    Is he your grandad by any chance? Yer negativity is very similar

    I reckon the doom and gloom merchants are fairly disappointed about the numbers coming down. They want to live in lockdown forever. The government should have sat tight at the level 3 or at least tried the level 4 for a week or 2.

    there's a bizarre campaign on here against anything perceived as negative the last week or so.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,616 ✭✭✭MerlinSouthDub

    I was expecting lower numbers because we often see a backlog build up over the weekend. Mind you, with level 5, there is not much to do at the weekends, so maybe people were happier to work overtime. Anyway, hoping for decent swab numbers tomorrow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 387 ✭✭Goldrickssan


    You lived abroad, what an odd thing to bring into the discussion.

    Yeah you spent 400e socialising 3 nights a week, not crazy at all. Supplementary costs on nights out add up.

    If you sat in your local and spent 400e solid on booze 3 nights a week as you appear to be claiming, there were no good times, you were a fall down drunk.

    I think the two of ye need to form a social bubble, get 400euro worth of booze and ride the ****e out of each other.

    Yer sexual tension has derailed this thread for hours.

    I can't really tell which side you're trying to satirise.. was "decay" intentional? As in, the number of cases will go down?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,077 ✭✭✭Away With The Fairies


    What's going on in Dublin to have such high numbers, around 250 for a few weeks. It doesn't look as if it's dropping.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,694 ✭✭✭SleetAndSnow


    Donegal staying steady at around 50 cases a day too bar one or two days. 3 in a row above 50 now again

    The first part of your post is pure nonsense. If you could point out one person that is disappointed case numbers are coming down or can show anyone wants to live on a lockdown forever please do but I think you will struggle.


    On the second point maybe if it was another time of year the government could\might have waited a week or two more to see how level 3 was working.


    How would you feel after them two weeks if they didn't work and they has to announce 6 weeks of restrictions all through December?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,578 ✭✭✭✭Turtwig


    Folks

    Level 5 isn't even a week old yet.
    We've no swabs data today.
    It's a Bank Holiday.
    We really should not be making any inferences from today alone.

    If you dare post anything but fantasy 'positive' news you automatically love lockdown and are a fear/scare/doom monger.

    I'm awfully disappointed in the numbers coming down. I love having to restrict my movements, not being able to bring the kids to see my mother, constantly working at home and having to cancel several holidays.


    Christ what planet are some people on?
