I'm probably being completely OTT here, but couldn't the Echo boy outside the GPO at least wear a mask?
I know it's outdoors, but still, he is projecting his powerful voice onto a very busy street all day, right where a lot of older people queue for the GPO entrance.

If he wore a mask people wouldn't know what he was saying?

While the danger of virus spread outdoors is less that 1/20th of that in an indoor setting, that lad should certainly wear a mask. He should also be keeping his mouth shut as he is generating a considerable amount of aerosol.

In an indoor setting, he would infect hundreds.

It was never going to go any other way.
It isn't going to get any better soon.
January is going to be bleak.

If you were a true Corkonian you would and that's all that matters 😀

If you are from Cork and you don't know what he's selling there, you are not from Cork.

We're increasing again apparently Christmas parties are responsible according to press briefing, seriously who is having Christmas parties this year :mad:

Dinners out in restaurants is what they are referring to. Lots of people taking the p1ss and the amount of restaurant staff that can't keep their hands away from their mask every two minutes is grim enough to observe.

54 cases today.

Yesterday, I saw a guy buying kegs from a van in a filling station. Could have been legit but it looked fierce dodgy!

There are several cases in a nursing home on the north side, mostly staff at the moment, so I’d say the virus is more rampant than we realise with a fair amount of asymptotic cases and transmission going on even with the low numbers we’ve had the past few weeks.

Good few school outbreaks too. My 11 y/o cousin's whole class in Passage have been quarantined after the teacher tested positive.

They should close the schools earlier for Christmas and let them have a longer extended break as quite a few clusters in schools everywhere yet we are still told schools are safe

Far from safe - but probably safer in Ireland than where I am.

Will be interesting to see if there is a reaction to what has happened today in the UK, where the clown in charge claimed that the rise in numbers is due to a new strain, but when councils told schools to do online learning for the week before Christmas, they were threatened with legal action.

Ireland won't make the same mistake I hope

I wonder if this new strain will get here during Christmas?

I fully expect the numbers to go through the roof over the next week., they've been rising alarmingly as it is. Government will no doubt cancel New Year celebrations by imposing new restrictions around the 27th and rightly so. Tine will tell.

I would think that is an indication of the school measures being effective if the children are not testing positive?
