Curfew announced in the Netherlands announced today, a ban on flights from Britain, South Africa and South America, and for a cut in the number of guests allowed in people’s homes to one, from the current number of two.

Could this be Cork soon?

No chance of a curfew with dramatically dropping infection rates. Zero.

Weird that they've gone with a curfew while still allowing household visitors.

There’s no need for a curfew , town is like a ghost town already.

Some proper control and enforcement at the airports, ferry ports and the NI border is needed

1 flight arrived in Cork Airport today, there are no flights arriving tomorrow, travel is such a minor issue right now, it just seems such a popular opinion t to have right now, people need to calm down

I wonder where and will they accept?

Discussion on Neil P on Red FM this morning, apparently they are going out with no masks knowing they have it, that should be a crime, punishable in court by high fines or prison, they are knowingly spreading

This thread seems we have drifted off topic significantly with our resident epidemiologists in full flow. The topic is covid in cork city. The ins & out of strains, R numbers etc can be discussed over in the main covid forum.
Off topic stuff deleted.

Cork University Hospital had to make an appeal for clinical staff to volunteer shifts to help deal with the pressure on its intensive care unit last night.

The HSE's Chief Clinical Officer, Dr Colm Henry, said the request came after the hospital attempted to open three or four critical beds, in addition to the 23 it already had open

I know 3 deaths in the last 72 hours from Covid. Two got it in hospital and one in their nursing home. One was in for a relatively routine procedure. The other had a stroke.

Oh Daisy that's awful.
My dad got moved to the stroke unit in CUH after having a heart attack also. We're all worried sick about him catching it. Although they are testing him every 3 days.

Unfortunately particularly in Cork that is not a new thing. MRSA wrecks havoc every year in the CUH but has simply been replaced by COVID this time around.

AIBP meat plant supposedly has an outbreak cluster

My cousin got MRSA after having a c-section in CUMH a few years back, which then turned into sepsis. She came very close to nearly dying and leaving a 4yr old a newborn without a mammy.
It’s way more common than people think.

Indeed, friend of mine had his hip replaced in CUH last August and developed sepsis as a result of MRSA.

On the rise in the city apparently.

Until all close contacts are being tested there's a huge doubt around the figures IMO. Loads of asymptomatic cases out there that are close contacts ......... they would likely have been tested months back. The sooner we get back to a best as we can track and test set-up again the better.

Between the 4th & 18th.
Should be on the way down now. Hopefully.

That idea is counter-claimed by the rapidly decreasing positivity rate which reflects the level of disease in the community.
