So you think it's the fault of the hospital they contracted Covid ?

No. I just thought it was an odd comment for him to make, it didn't seem to have any context.

They could well have already caught it at home etc.

restrictions that aren't working

You think the restrictions aren't working? That our numbers aren't coming down? That we're not doing one of the best in Europe?

You could have summoned the same argument last summer when we had 60 daily cases.

Look how that worked out.

Were looking at having more restrictions this summer than last, despite the vulnerable being vaccinated this year

22 cases in Cork, I thought protests were super spreaders, it's been 8 days?

Early days... let's see in 2 weeks who they have infected after getting infected themselves .

Perhaps, but more than a morsel of freedom should be thrown at us come 5 April.

A round of golf is simply not good enough.

Very rough Maths here so open to correction

That's roughly the equivalent to 220 cases in Dublin (population; 1.2 Million)?

Today Dublin had 232

So, there's not much a big difference between Cork and Dublin?

Dublin should have about 2.2 times Corks cases pro rata. So Corks 22 cases today is equivalent to about 50 cases in Dublin. Dublin at 232 cases today has about 4.5 times Corks incidence roughly accordingly.

It's weird. When you filter out day of week effects by using the 7 day rolling average and look at age groups you can clearly see the increases there. Dr Philip Nolan was talking about it but I couldn't really follow what he was on about.

Not great to be fair.

That means Galway must be quite high then at 30 cases today.

It’s a mystery where all these chungs are getting infected, but one thing is for sure.
It’s definitely 100% not schools.

There is a highly transmissible variant of the disease in 95% of those testing positive .

We are not looking at that at all .. don't know where you get your ( mis ) information, Twitter, Facebook?
But also we don't have anywhere near vulnerable vaccinated yet.

Your missing the point. By the time summer is here. Their is likely to be high proportion of vulnerable people vaccinated. Their will be an exit strategy unlike last summer. Might be slower than all us had hoped but their is now a viable way out of this.

I've been keeping record of the schools from Alerting parents of outbreaks in schools Ireland since they went back.

128 schools. 10 preschool, 83 Primary, 35 Secondary and of those 83 primary 11 special schools.

164 cases all together , 11 preschool, 105 primary, 49 secondary and 17 of the primary cases are from special schools.

Dublin (58), Meath(13), Kildare(13) and Galway(10) at the top. with Cork(8) and Mayo(8) next.
These are just the ones that passed onto the group.

575 ain’t great for today but as today’s swabs were back at the 350 mark, isn’t that a good sign for the week?

The infamous Wednesday Bump and weekly trends are probably the only two metrics to watch

Doesn’t sound like we will be getting much beyond in-county travel, golf/tennis and maybe if we’re lucky - Click/Collect, on April 5th.

Ah , no dictatorism , that is not the way I heard it .

They were specifically advising not to gather at Paddy'x and Easter in family groups because of the way numbers went up after Halloween and especially Christmas .
Not the families causing it , but its AFFECTING whole families , that is what they said.
They were very careful in their language today that they were just giving advise on public health despite some journos trying to trap Glynn in to giving specific warnings that they could quote for a good headline .
Beware what you read and hear from some of those in the media . They put their own slant on the message .

They do keep saying it’s families, and okay yeah definitely part of it, but where are these cases coming from?
No indication as to where, why and when. Is it the meat factories, dog food plant? But then where are they catching it? Hospitals and nursing homes look covid free except for patients already in hospital. We really can’t blame travel at the moment.
