- Retail sectors likely to remain shut until the end of February.
- Restaurants may be shut until May.
- Schools will be looked at separately.

Translation? Mid Feb for schools/construction, 1 March for non-essential retail/gyms, 1 May for indoor restaurants?

If my maths is correct that would mean that 1% are no longer alive.

You'd go up on a plane if you had a 1% chance of being splattered along the ground would you?

If that plane was taking you out of jail, and you only had to take that flight once ever, would you?

Never good practice to change published data.

I think it is good practice. Better to have corrected historical data than have days with negative counts as it was in spring/summer.

I think it's good as well. There was one day in April where we reported 214 deaths. Obviously these weren't all from one day and the geohive stats have since been updated to show the correct daily numbers. But over on the worldometers site they've chosen to interpret this 214 deaths literally and as a result Ireland's daily death graph is unreadable due to this huge single data point needing a big scale, with the other figures all down at the bottom. If they'd corrected the data to to reflect reality it'd be far more readable.

Support in Australia is starting to wane to the measures in place, the Australian open has highlighted a new problem for there government, they were relying heavily on international sporting this year to boost their economy sporting bodies are happy to observe their quarantine measures but a large proportion of participating teams are pulling out especially motorsports as it's not financially viable for them to attend.
After the announcement that there borders would be closed for another year, support for there covid enforcement dropped also mostly because the government could not give a time frame of when border restrictions would end.

I actually find the opposite, most people here want the international border restrictions tightened even more... the government actually had to relent and reduced the intake by 50%.

I'm sure there are some people who were hoping to travel overseas for whatever reason but the majority have absolutely no intention, really were do you go aside NZ and a few of Asian counties? other places like Europe and US are practically wipe your feet on the way out. No one really wants to visit countries that everything is closed, even with vaccines this is not going be over for another year there's still going be varying restrictions around the world for the rest year

The Australian open charter flights and quarantine were all external to the government quarantine program, paid by Tennis Australia and ITF the Victorian government only allowed it because they were afraid to lose out to another city. A lot of people were opposed to it as its very risky but there's been no problem with Cricket and Rugby, I doubt F1 will happen but there's very little other international sport affected. Really there was no relying on sport boosting the economy the minuscule money from sport compared to actually destroying your country economy by closing everything up is not worth it.

Yeah that's funny wording. I've a few non citizens in my family. I presume he was using "citizen" as a synonym for "everyone"

I believe there's over 500,000 non-Irish living here.

It wouldn't just be offensive to neglect them, it'd be stupid

I'd honestly say it was just his turn of phrase rather than any message regarding non-nationals.

I see that Galway is the one county which has continued growth in cases. Any idea what’s going on there?

There were 604 cases reported in Galway on January 12th. As this was multiples higher than any or the days preceeding or after this, it is obvious that there was a backlog of cases reported in one go on this day. In fact, the numbers in Galway were suspiciously low in the lead up to this day.
The 14 day incidence rate at the moment is all the cases between the 6th and 20th, divided by the population of the county. If as suspected, the cases between the 6th and 11th were being underreported, then new daily case numbers will likely be higher than the figure two weeks previosu to that which they are displacing.
I wonder of the Connacht Tribune headline on the 27th of the month will be "Galway sees largest drop in infection rate in the country".
