Yeah city centre based , only launched 2019. More of a restaurant with a bar vibe I think

I for some reason assumed the Dwyers in question was Dwyers Electrical on Forge Hill and not the pub. Not sure which it is now.

It was mentioned in relation to The Harp, so I’ve assumed pub. Haven’t heard anything about it other than here though.

296 cases today

LessOutragePlz · 01-01-2021 8:08pm

Was down in fountainstown earlier today the car park was full and it was jammers. Queue was out the door for that little shop on the corner and there was also a mobile coffee stall there too. The guards arrived went into the shop and presumably spoke to whoever was running the shop. They took a look at the number of people on the beach then jumped back in their squad car and drove off.

The shop is an issue, the beach isn’t, to be fair.

Friend of mine was in docklands on 20th for a family meal and 3 of them tested positive since she also mentioned the owners also tested positive. Id love to know how many other customers were also affected.

I was in there around then :eek: I wondered why they closed early for Christmas.

Oh! That’s our highest one day total.
And the 1,754 nationwide is underreported, so god knows what the truth is. A lot of those 296 could be a few days old but we can still expect 300+ over the coming days whenever they get around to confirming the backlog of cases.

NPHET saying 9,000 cases yet to be reported. 5,000+ positive swabs a day now, you’re right we could see 500 here easily.

ACitizenErased · 01-01-2021 8:49pm

You have to assume everyone has the virus now. Stay at home, best thing to do. Nothing to worry about then.

If we have 17% of 9k, like we have 17% of todays cases, more like 1500 more

There's also a possibility that all Cork's cases are reported.

Twitter suggests it's regional public health departments who have to report cases. As such, Munster may be 100% accurate, Leinster not, etc.
Dublin had 523 cases today, Cork had 296. Which of those numbers do you believe is accurate?
I believe Cork's tbh.

I reckon Dublin has 750-1000 cases a day at the moment.

I do not believe for one second that Wuhan is back to any sense of normality, despite the images that are released to the worldwide media.

The Chinese can't lose face surely you understand that by now . Maybe all those revelers have already had it and are recovered

They have their own vaccine and may not be so stringent on the trials and testing before roll out

I'd expect that some sites will be shut down in the weeks to come with others deemed as essential. Horse racing also seems to be enjoying immunity from restrictions while there is talk of other sports having their seasons delayed.

Shocking figures. Really need to act as if everybody has it at this point, rampant.

Donegal too is shocking given their population

titan18 · 02-01-2021 7:13pm

10k of a backlog too

ACitizenErased · 02-01-2021 7:19pm

Population wise per capita we aren’t even near the worst but still terrible

Working off swab data we're roughly similar to UK aren't we per capita, unless you're on about Cork, which fair enough we're not as bad as some other counties, but hard to work off county data atm

I’m talking about Cork.
In nationwide terms, today’s cases in UK is same as about 5k here.

Hard to trust the county data atm tbf cos of the issues. Like it could be that most of the backlog was from Cork today and not as much from Dublin for example.

Today’s figures in Donegal and Louth equate to about 1200 daily cases in Cork

Incredibly strict lockdown for extended periods and a very successful testing & tracing regime.

Taiwan and Vietnam are the same.

Treehelpplease · 02-01-2021 7:30pm

Any idea if today includes any backlog cases, and if so how many?

No idea, we had more positive swabs today than that but there was already a 9k backlog so all the cases today could be that or it could be swab data or a mix of both, who knows

Only started in the last few days.

When I said strict lockdown I mean strict lockdown, like the cops coming to your door to make sure you were at home and enforcing isolation if you were a close contact.

their culture and society is more collective anyways, so the population were more amenable to these policies. Plus housing is more apartment block based which made it easier to police.

Europe and the US have been more about mitigation.

Place on South Douglas Road has been jointed for tests all week. This place only opened up Christmas week after been closed for ages

The Irish populace would lose their shlts if they experienced anything like an enforced strict lockdown.

In Poland you had police knocking in daily for people in isolation

The number in hospital has exceeded 600

389 very high

We took a walk through Fitzgerald’s Park via the Shakey Bridge. Both the park and bridge were busy, with the cafe in the park doing a roaring trade - good to see.
