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.

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.

Housing is a % of the industry , the biggest sites in the country are not housing developments.

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

10k of a backlog too

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.

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
