Are restrictions scheduled to get lifted on 1 December or 2 December? I have seen both mentioned. Thanks.

December 1st in the date that is being mooted I think, but, to be honest, I wouldn't be holding my breath.

Sweden having to gradually increase restrictions. Bit of a flip flop on the let it rip stance.

December 1st the date given when restrictions was applied, up for review after 4 weeks. So I presume the review shall be done in a few days.

Surely there's a simple explanation for the rise in figures the last number of days - the two week lag time? Schools were off for a week and now we've had two weeks of them being back. So the virus is circulating more again.

I don't understand the constant denial that schools aren't a source of spread. They said the tradeoff was to keep lots of us at home, businesses closed, but allow schools to operate and allow the risk they bring. For the greater good. We saw the high numbers of confirmed cases just this morning in the Craigavon School in NI for example (not in our area but at the same time, an proof that it's spreading in schools).

Depends which midnight we're talking about

(I'm with Varadkar on that one by the way, "midnight" is an ambiguous term, I myself would typically think of midnight as being the start of the day). In any case, might not matter as could well be extended the way things are going.

Contact tracing data and testing requests, as well as what GPs are saying, suggest that there has been no increase in cases in the slightest. Something strange is going on.

Google mobility data might give a hint

The workplaces number in particular is very striking. Level 5 seems to have had no impact, although there was a sudden drop around the time it was announced. Was that perhaps the school holidays?

Public transport is creeping up all the time.

Is there a press conference today?

Schools are more than likely a serious contributor to spread (among other things) ..........the absolute blank denial that this is the case if proper head in the sand stuff

Hopefully not. We need level 5 restrictions deep into January with proper enforcement this time. Disgraceful scenes in Dublin over the weekend show people can’t be trusted.

You know, if we went level 10 and just exterminated the population, we'd have 0 cases......

1st afaik. Even though 6 weeks from midnight on 21st/22nd of October should have been 3rd so who knows!

Do we really think cases are so different in this part of Ireland?

D’ya reckon it might be the schools?

I'm not an epidemiologist, so my back of an envelope theory may not be worth a lot but it is that schools aren't the root cause of spread, but they can have an amplifier effect if things are getting worse.

Are the latest few days of rising numbers directly attributed to the schools? Maybe. Maybe not. It's probably a number of factors all playing a part. People letting their guard down and relaxing after a period of falling numbers. Socialising during the Halloween period. More targeted testing of at risk environments - I'm sure all of these things play a part.

But it does look increasingly like the couple of day "blip" of rising numbers and positivity rate is in danger of becoming a trend.

blowitupref · 16-11-2020 06:11PM

County case count over the last two weeks. Good to see a downwards trend for every county.

How are things looking today with swabs etc

Sounds like people are using facts to make it look like schools are to blame.

Very high in Limerick

Hospital outbreak?

Widdensushi · 16-11-2020 06:40PM

Limerick got a hit

BringBackMick · 16-11-2020 06:40PM

Big outbreak in UL obviously

We need hard questions to Tony and this Cabal about where the infection is occurring.

**** is going down in hopsitalas and healthcare settings and they are trying to blame some twits drinking outside
