    If someone is speeding and accidentally causes a car crash, are they innocent?

    Irrelevant nonsense. Is one a criminal now for having an infection? If you are vulnerable protect yourself.

    I don't necessarily agree but if they are it's thanks to the antics of such people.

    They were perpetual when we had four cases.

    Town is fairly full, good few bars serving pints in plastic cups and lads drinking on the streets.

    But some people on here would have you believe that everyone is staying at home.

    Italy is doing fairly bad in number of deaths compared to France. This could escalate to Italy 2.0 soon.

    It is relevant given your idea that everyone is innocent :pac:

    People get tired reading the same old BS over and over: From doom merchants to total deniers. The middle ground has left them to it.

    It will be interesting to see how this pans out. Going by the covid hub their Lea (although it includes part of Athlone) has had 37 cases in the last 14 days and a rate of 185/100k.

    Its behind a paywall but it appears they're only testing 150 people when the lea is 20k so not sure what it will really show.

    Everyone in Lecarrow, presumably. Let's see if they find any cases there.

    This thread is so quiet lately, are people just fed up with it at this stage, same at work, ever since level 5 came in, people are like ya whatever I couldn't give a **** what nphet and the government say anymore, ill just do the things I'm supposed to do. I was getting angry and frustrated when level 5 came in but I honestly not too bothered with the whole thing anymore and it seems its evident by this thread.
    The misery mongers will be back when the numbers stabilise, eager to call out out the next peak and to tell us all that things are turning to crap.

    They don't actually care about the state of the infection in Ireland, they just want to be able to say, "I told you so". Note how now that the numbers are going down, all of the calls to close the schools are gone, the people who continually claimed cases would be double in two weeks time, that the hospitals would collapse by the end of October, that we'd be in a worse lockdown come Xmas, all gone.

    Remember this, and you'll be able to easily spot those you should put on ignore. They add no value to the discussion, only tension and trolling.

    I don't think any of this is true. Vast majority just wants this over now. People have differing opinions on how to live with this. I can understand both sides

    Over 1,000 rapid tests were carried out, with seven positive cases detected, all of which were asymptomatic.

    People eventually get tired of venting their anger and frustration. I have seen it happen before on boards several times in the past. Three threads come to mind:

    The Anglo tapes

    Nama

    The Lisbon treaty


    The outrage lasts for months, but in the space of a day or two, people gave up commenting. It proved how easily people are willing to forget, no matter how big the issue. The public have a short memory.

    Important to note though it was over a 6 week period. 150 people being tested once a week and they only caught 7 asymptomatic cases. Being a rural location probably helped with low numbers but still good they caught the cases nonetheless.

    Interesting

    Scaled up 1% asymptomatic positivity nationwide looks possible here then

    As in 50,000 people are walking around right now with no idea they have Covid

    Slovakia mass testing has similar asymptomatic findings

    Hard to say from that what the numbers might be nationwide, a Roscommon village isn't really a national average (even if Lecarrow is bang in the middle of the country) - I assume they're below the national average in incidence rates. And not all asymptomatic cases go unmissed, since close contacts get tested, and there's mass testing as well.

    Eww. They are disgusting. Sweaty mouth breathing droplet projectors, usually called Brian or Brendan. Why can’t they jog online? there must be a jogging version of pelothon, or in their back yards.

    A study on the use of environmental surveillance of surface contamination with COVID-19 and its use as a predictive tool, just 33 samples. Suggests too that the risk of infection from touching a surface may be low.
    Surface sampling within buildings could inform the locations of currently infectious individuals and enable early identification of potential COVID-19 cases when individuals are most infectious, including when they are pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic.
