Why doesn’t McKonkey offer to live off 350 a week and see how he feels about that for a while.

Not possible, he shouldn't be given the air time anymore.

I wonder if the Ethnic Wedding group of 50+ people who caused mayhem on the flight to Malaga the other day will be forcibly quarantined on their return? Not a chance. And I doubt they will do it voluntarily either.

Incidences like that are the leaks in the system, but sure just blame everyone else for not washing their hands.

You wouldn't have a link to that story, a bit of entertainment to read.

Who refused to get her tested? Her GP?

When her husband spoke to the contact tracer, they said they wouldn't be offering her a test at this time as she is asymptomatic. They said if she starts to develop symptoms, she should self-isolate. They also didn't mention that she should contact her GP.

Good numbers countrywide, disappointing from Wicklow, hopefully it can be contained. Wonder is it to do with the outbreak in Loughlinstown Hospital.

marno21 · 20-11-2020 06:41PM

Countrywide numbers are going in the right direction, within a few days it will now become clear that a handful of counties are driving growth and the rest of the country has the virus under control.

There's nothing in the Wicklow numbers to cause concern. Meath and Louth are steadily growing all week, with any mentions of particular clusters.

This isn't right. She should contact local department of public health as a matter of urgency [DOPH CONTACT LIST]

Been steady enough for a good few weeks, 18 is unusual though.

Additional restrictions introduced in Finland as they announce highest number of cases to date, 461 - but that number includes some backlog. Still fairly light stuff, indoor gatherings restricted to 20 in some areas and some indoor sports training cancelled. Officials say virus is in community transmission phase in Helsinki.

Prison or High Fines, detain them, what part of ROI are they from?

Leitrim back to zero. Stuart Neilson was tweeting about the massive rise in the county a few days ago.:p:p

For last week, week 46 (08/11/2020 – 14/11/2020) there were a total of 389 cases diagnosed from healthcare workers of which that was 15% of the weekly cases.

In week 46 we had a total of 2600 cases.

RTÉ should put this front and centre of the Six One news. Oh wait, it would require sharing an inconvenient truth with the nation and we can't have that. As usual, the fault will lay with retailers and publicans.

Your "facts" are wrong.

So you don't dispute there being few to no excess deaths due to covid19 or that lockdowns are ineffective in saving lives?
Most, but not all of the Korean vaccine related deaths involved the elderly. Of the total number of fatalities, 37 people were in their 70s, followed by 34 people aged 80 or older. Four deaths involved people in their 60s, while eight individuals who passed away were under 60.
I'm sure you will happily believe that these deaths were all of natural causes but you will somehow have no problem believing that over 1000 Irish people in their late 80s and 90s with multiple chronic conditions actually died of covid!

So between 1 in 6 and 1 and 7 of total cases. This is a low level of health care worker cases (both domestically and historically within Ireland).

Yeah it sucks but no matter what precautions you take its hard to protect health care because the number of contacts is so high.

This is why every country with a priority list published has health care workers as top of the que for vaccines.

330 cases a good drop on previous Fridays.

13/11: 482
06/11: 499
30/10: 722
23/10: 777
16/10: 1000

Considering around 10% of our entire workforce are in the health or social work sector, that is quite low.

At this rate we could be under 200 a day in two weeks time. A number in the 100’s at the end of level 5 would actually be a terrible number. Too low to continue with level 5 but too high to go to much lower restrictions.

Because there was some good news today with lower cases, couldn't be having that, the misery agenda needs to be peddled.

Then Armageddon George, the gormless cretin is wheeled out waxing lyrical about 23 to 60 odd year olds increasing their social contacts. No mention of the healthcare workers being cannon fodder for the Rona in our ill equipped hospitals. Tony is like a WWI general, over the top with you plebs.

One would wonder what broadcasting standards authorities etc make of the fear mongering narrative.

I should complain.
