    Yep, we'd hope that we'll hit the peak in the next week or so.

    Seven day average is 1063 cases per day. It was 1176 on October 21st a number that will likely be topped in the days ahead.

    Thank you. Positivity from swabs was very high earlier so I think you're right. Still think while we need to take action of some form, things aren't as bad as some posters would have us believe they are.

    Just by eyeing the charts, seems to be a doubling time of around 1 week.
    Similar to UK?

    The Louth figures are more influenced by the border than Dublin.

    Of course it is. More people from Newry in Dundalk than anything else. But then non essential retail is closed up North and open down here. But no figures to show infections stemming from retail.

    Just as a side note, Eileen needs to stay on the 6.1 news!
    Edit; she looks very much like Mary Regan

    We did all that stuff in the early days of these threads. Should fat people, those with diabetes or asthma and those who are wrinkled even bother with seat belts?

    Only those at risk of crashing. In fact, those at risk from crashing should be prohibited from travelling in any form of motorised transport. Everyone else is grand. That is what those kind of age group,underlying conditions type arguments are analogous to.

    Hate to point out the obvious but Northern Ireland is a completely separate country to the Republic of Ireland.
    Land mass but its still the same country no matter what your agenda.

    Hope you get a negative.

    And this, folks, is why non-essential retail should be closed. Stupid, selfish people.

    I’d very simply send a bill for the economic cost of the test if you couldn’t be arsed turning up for a scheduled test - €180 invoice in the post.

    Would you send them out their test too? For personal use?

    The point is, she went into a shop. If the 5km was in it might stop some folk doing that kind of thing. Although, someone coming out of self-isolstion for a handbag probably wouldn't care.

    Except that it's not the same country, they are two separate countries and very different in many ways.

    Exactly, we are in the worst wave and the worst couple of months of the pandemic, and still the hospitalisation and death numbers are pretty minuscule in terms of the overall population. Some perspective is needed. Once we get to the middle or end of February we are in the clear. Weather will be getting better, a good chunk of the population will have immunity from having the virus already, all the at risks groups will have had the vaccine, the country will be able to open up again.

    South Africa have done just that, and made masks compulsory outdoors now, both good ideas imho

    the 5KM thing is ridiculous. It means MORE of us are crushed in smaller spaces, especially in built up areas! I hike in the mountains, on my own, I go to forests, I swim in the sea..... all outdoors, all healthy.
    In level 2 and Level 5 in the Summer I had to pound the pavements in my local housing estate and the streets round me, bumping into people with kids, dogs, buggies, bikes.... often having to get onto the road to create some space. The local beaches were like walking down Grafton Street......
    It was far more dangerous for everyone in terms of virus spread and will be the same again. This does not work in built up areas!

    How about changing the approach the next time we reopen and close off licences and leave the pubs go about their business with measures in place as a controlled environment.

    Household transmission and loose inhibitions with alcohol on board is the spark that is fueling the fire.
