    Lockdown works, shock. Numbers began reducing during level 3's effect.

    Don't be so condescending, you're not an expert.
    A full two weeks after the whole country entered level three we had the highest positivity rate we've had in this country since April at 7.2%.

    You just want to ignore that, then ignore the five days of level 5 and give the level 3 lockdown all the credit for the drop of 1%.

    You certainly do not have any idea what you are talking about.

    Large Danish study finds face masks only reduce chance of infection by 15-20%

    1.8% of mask wearing group became infected over the course of the study while 2.1% of the control group contracted COVID

    Better than nothing is probably the best you can say about face masks really then, have very limited effect

    I think they make a lot of people feel safe, untouchable even.

    When vaccinations start rolling and things get back to normal there will be quite a few who won’t be able to stop wearing them. T’will be like taking the doodie from a toddler.


    Wonder if study is taking into account the amount of fidgeting and re-using over days which is likely making them even less effective and potentially counter productive.

    You are conveniently ignoring case numbers, from the day level 5 began numbers were down a third on the previous week, I presume you are not saying that level 5 worked in a matter of hours?

    She is obsessed with Covid and schools based on her feed, can't be healthy for her... mind you, same for a whole bunch of people on this thread... spending day after day after day obsessing about things that are out of their control.

    I haven't read anything from this person's feed. I don't read much from people who are agenda driven on either side.

    Thing is though I believe schools are a problem. It's just that the math doesn't add up.

    We are here now plateaud in a level 5 lockdown. Last time we were in a strict lockdown the numbers dropped much more. The only difference between then and now is that the schools were closed.

    Kids are mostly asymptomaic but are still carriers. We have studies from much renowned universities telling us that kids are big spreaders of the virus and I haven't heard anybody challenge the results of these studies. It appears they just ignore them and carry on with their own take on things.

    Its possible, not sure what departments you heard but my mother had an out patients appointment cancelled last week due to a number of staff off due to both positive tests and self isolation reasons.
    Its possible it spread to other departments. Was in there myself yesterday though and there didn't seem any great urgency bar the usual guidelines and any of the staff i talked to seem calm enough about the whole covid situation.

    The last time we were in lockdown older people weren't leaving their homes, I see them out and about constantly now, the majority of people are more relaxed this time.

    Dublin keeping low given the density. Nice to see Limerick drop down from yesterday.

    Slowly getting back on track after last week

    I know a man in his 80’s who was in there after a fall since last week and he tested positive today. No symptoms yet thankfully.

    Are we now back to a similar situation To spring time where care settings were the main source Of infection I wonder?

    Hm. Considering the regularly expressed concern about increased suicide rates and effects on mental health by multitudes of posters on here daily you'd think there would be some relief conveyed by at least some of those who regularly voice those particular worries . Met with radio silence. Hard not to read into that really

    Don’t want to be stoking a fire or come across callous...
    but
    I realised ages ago that the majority of folks I’ve seen lamenting about the possibility (or downright emergency) of a mental health crisis have zero experience or empathy towards mental health issues. Sometimes worse.

    Heck I’ve an old contact who’s Facebook feed is jam packed with virtue signaling mental health waving posts the last few weeks. Always first to share pictures of themselves giving the ok sign and ‘I’m always here for a chat’ nonsense.

    Same person had a close friend confide in them over being sad and paranoid (what turned out to be the onset of a psychosis and was the first person they reached out to) to ‘man up, just be happy, everyone has problems, quit the martyr act’.

    I take what people say, especially in places as anonymous and faceless as boards potentially can be with a pinch of salt.

    It’s clear level 5 is not having the desired effect. Holohans inevitable calls for an extension won’t help matters

    Deja vu. When it gets into the nursing homes deaths rise.

    Unfortunately with time lag deaths stay high after the days of 1k plus cases
