Can anyone remember how many cases a day we roughly had when the cmo returned to work and the infamous Sunday evening level 5 leaking?

Previous 7 day average was about 400. Had been 300 in the 7 days before that.

Will schools closing next week help keep numbers in line or will the mixing of families for Christmas make have little affect. When would we be likely to see more a stringent lockdown put in place ?

329 new cases

86 cases in Dublin, 41 in Louth, 34 in Donegal, 25 in Limerick, 17 in Kildare, 7 in Cork

I got my parents a hotel stay from 8th January for 2 nights as a Xmas gift. When do posters think we will move to lockdown level 5 in January?

So you could say we are in a similar position now to back then. I just have a horrible feeling they're going to curtail hospitality before or during the Christmas holidays.

Seriously, how could you ask us about this.

Would make sense tbh. The vaccine is near but i think we must hold firm.

Are you in their wills?

Great to see my own county Clare, now having the lowest 14 day covid incidence rate in the country. Well done to one and all.

After. There's a slight possibility IMHO that restaurants will be told not to reopen indoor dining after Xmas Day. Or maybe New year's day.

The end of current restrictions is down for January 6th. I’d be surprised if we get beyond that before some of the Level 5 restrictions are reimposed.

That would be a very very difficult sell politically unless numbers deteriorate rapidly

It's only 10 days to Christmas and the government will give restaurants etc as much opportunity to make some money as possible before a potential level 5 in January/February

The numbers are going to go right up no matter what way you look at it. Restrictions brought them down and the easing will see them go up, especially with Christmas and the resulting movement/congregation of people. This was always going to happen and there was never a way to stop it. We locked down in November and now we can allow this ease of restrictions. Livelihoods across the country have been saved thanks to this opening of the economy, albeit fairly limited but it'll make a huge difference when we check the books later next year.

There seems to be a lot of people wound up in a mentality best suited for earlier in the year. We can't forget to move with the times and the facts it presents.

Yeah, wouldn’t surprise me if the January 6th date moves to January 1st.

Good to see these guys keeping busy, fair play to them for having the time to do this ..., being so slammed in the ICU wards etc...

That's lovely too see.

Not sure but the day we went back into level 5 we had 1100 odd cases i think

4th possibly

That way restaurants would get another weekend out of it

Indeed, Clare where I live now has the lowest 14 day incidence rate per 100,000 in the country at 23.6. Which is phenomenal considering where we were in late October. By the way, this figure had more than halved since December 1st. Couldn't imagine a return to a daily tally of over 1000 cases under Level 3 restrictions, I'm increasingly optimistic about 2021.

15-12-2020 07:26PM

Isn't closing schools meant to lower the R by about 0.2? Would make sense to basically close schools this Friday, maybe leave them open for the few days next week for families that have no alternative childcare options.

The border counties struggling (based on per capita figures). No surprise there with the ****show up north.

Some recent cases around Drogheda via the bakery that closed but yeah they need NI to get going on vaccinations.

ax530 · 15-12-2020 07:26PM

Yes pleased to see so many countries doing well <10 seems the cases not causing big outbreaks or can be contained, if people can take it easy limit contacts this weekend feel we will avoid wave 3

Do we think Dr Holohan is behind these other lockdowns in Europe? It seems strange considering people in this thread think he is the root of evil that is causing all this hysteria in Ireland that isn't happening elsewhere?

Those same people are probably the ones that kept highlighting that Italian doctor than gained widespread coverage for claiming the virus had weakened back in the summer ("from an aggressive tiger to a wild cat").

Wonder what his story is now.

I'm happy seeing Cork doing well too

Let's hope all counties and countries can get low also

It's really bizarre the grief he gets. I suppose people need a bogey man when they aren't mature enough to see the bigger picture.

The same ones who screamed about us having the strictest lockdown in Europe who've suddenly gone quiet when several European countries closed bars and resteraunts for Christmas........ They would absolutely admit they're wrong wouldn't they.......

Eagle Eye, the drug treatment you have been going out about, just seen this video today from a US doctor, might of be interest to you.

That's some strong testimony alright. Maybe eagle eye's brother is right after all.
