We are in for hairy few weeks but with strict implementation of restrictions since 24th. Perhaps by 10 January we will be on the right path to a brighter 2021

Is there strict enforcement? Went to Midleton on Friday to go to the bank. The town was jammed. Turned around and went home.

You do realise it's not that simple, because people have bills to pay, families to feed and rent due?

What about construction workers? I doubt they are all keep distances & often wash hands. If the current situation is getting out of hands i think i’d be better to get the construction stopped too for a few weeks - it really won’t change much? Or am i wrong thinking this way

Wondering the same myself,will we see even tighter restrictions in the coming days ??

No. I did a search and nothing.

I'm not going to rummage through 100s of posts in several different forums but whatever.

Ah, so you are going to just lash out a false post and to hell with it?
Noice.

Yep. I'm "essential," I'm currently on leave (not covid). Going back in a few days and I'm scared because we don't enforce anything and most people I work with are anti maskers. Considering asking my GP to sign me off on stress leave tbh because while I want to work, I'm high risk.

Your employer sounds like a nightmare. I'd be considering a new job.

The ballsbridge test centre was quiet today, basically walked straight through with no waiting, car park is setup to handle more (though everyone is given a time slot so it shouldn't ever get crazy)

Friday hangover :pac:

Of course you are not wrong. The fact they haven't shut them down already shows you how half arsed this lockdiwn is.

what sort of "connection"?

They gave their granny a lift to Dublin to spend Christmas day there with family and collected her to bring her home.

No. She was not counted in HSE operations report.

The newspaper headlines exaggerated it somewhat too. She was diagnosed with covid two weeks before having the baby, not when she was having it.

I remember hearing just before christmas they were seeing something like an average of 30 close contacts for every positive test? What ****ing irresponsible ****ers were living their lives as if **** was fvcking normal?

You could probably throw the likes of garages,fabricators etc in with construction

Itssoeasy · 02-01-2021 07:35PM

So did anyone say when and how they plan to clear the backlog ? You know the stuff that’s their job and clearly they didn’t create a system fit to do the job going on what’s happening now.

Just wondering how many people are going to hospital for routine procedures or having kids etc and just happened to have virus?

It be nice to find out as with virus so rife in community , many people will test positive for covid whilst going to hospital for other reasons

Very few, if any, will be going for routine procedures with this number of Covid cases around!

Anyone admitted in the last few months for a routine procedure was tested prior to admission. If positive Covid test, elective admission was cancelled. Person would stay at home to isolate. Only admitted if symptomatic enough from Covid to need hospitalisation for Covid and then would be counted at that point, if it occurred, as a Covid admission.

They were probably the same people that were giving out about the restrictions

Yeah I am, back to a freezing building site, its very hard to manually work with a mask on, I'll have it glued to my face, it's a shame that (American Columbia uni I think) face spray didn't come out, spray your face and it kills C19 on impact. The trials looked very promising. A completely non harmful spray.

Cluedo Monopoly · 02-01-2021 07:37PM

Genuine question - has anyone a relaible link showing that people with asymptomatic covid infections have a very low rate of transmission? Or has this been proven?

Interesting that number of testing yesterday was lower. A small positive in dire times? Hopefully numbers may be close to peaking. Here's hoping

No close contacts being tested.

Gav Reilley and Richard Chambers had threads on this, generally the swab numbers give or take 10%. So todays figures would = around 4200 cases. Most will go into the backlog though.

Here's what this looks like. I'm not how much value there is to it except to illustrate that things are significantly worse than cases suggest

Yup. Unless they are actually going to enforce level five, there's f*ck all point talking about increasing restrictions. They can go level ten, won't make a blind bit of difference if there's no enforcement.

My problem is people continually posting lies and nonsense and inflaming others, leading to the continued fallacy that this is just the flu.

You could have worded your post a multitude of other ways yet chose not to.

For Forks Sake · 02-01-2021 07:38PM

The other elephant in the room is NI and it's absolutely reckless/non-existent (both political and by the population) response, and when you look at the highest affected areas in RoI (Donegal/Louth/Monaghan) it's clear there's an overspill effect going on..

Id say its pointless looking at the county breakdown if numbers are being added from the yule log and not counted from the actual swabs.

Yeah, Dublin has exactly 5000 cases in the last 14 days, which sounds more like a "the excel sheet is full" kind of number, rather than the number of actual cases. Backlog is more likely to be in the counties with higher numbers, too.

Need to wait a few days to get all the numbers (for all counties).

How do you spray it into your eyes, throat and nostrils though?
