Why put the 7 from March in today what's the story

They're notifications, not confirmation of deaths. 2000 people could have died today and they'd still not be notified for another few days.

At present, in the community, away from nursing homes and hospitals, you couldn’t contract coronavirus if you wanted to.

4 of today's deaths relate to yesterday, 3 to the day before. ~7 date back as far as March.

That explains it so.
Reporting really needs to be stricter, shouldn't be a case of having a death being reported only 2 months later.

For sure, but it would still suggest the asymptomatic thing is hugely overstated - physically fit footballers would be exactly the type of people who you would expect to be asymptomatic and not displaying more serious symptoms.

No it doesn’t. The U.K. didn’t do mass testing at all, the test only works if you’re symptomatic or just beforehand. Even at that it’s just 70% accurate or less at best. Many of those players probably had it as a mild dose and didn’t even know.

It's an awful quirk in our system. Quite frustrating as it's not a good indicator.

So no zero death days yet?

This is not correct.

For example, I have consistently stated my belief the economy will rebound hyper fast only to be told by same crew that...

"YOU'RE BEING TOO OPTIMISTIC KERMIT!"

"RECORD UNEMPLOYMENT KERMIT!"

"WE'RE ALL DOOMED KERMIT!"

"THE WORLD IS FALLING DOWN AROUND US KERMIT!"

...

Are any of today's new cases related to community transmission?

Bank holiday coming up? Need to stop people getting complacent. Not serious btw.
Just a delay in reporting, unfortunately though people just go with the headline without listening or reading the explanation for the numbers.

Including cases from march because today's actual figures arent scary enough!

Over 400 deaths in UK. They aren't on top of this virus at all. Which will likely effect our efforts in the medium term.

Realistically anyone who has a wedding has probably postponed. Need to have venue sorted and issue invites 2 or 3 months in advance. Anyone planning one for this summer, autumn or winter has probably postponed to same time next year. Besides possible extra costs who would want a wedding now? Would be weird

I work in the wedding industry. I still have a large number of weddings in for September to December. It is very relevant to me that questions get asked as to whether or not I will make any more money this year and I'm glad someone is asking.

Another thing to remember about our cases today is that some of them include suspected cases already hospitalised. This limits the number of community cases even further.

Have they been releasing this stat all the way throughout? I have never seen a single arm of the media report on how many positive cases (cases, not deaths) occured in the wider community.

How exactly is "community transmission" defined?

The consistent whinging about their contribution is though.

Not correct. 59% relates to overall.

Is this for real? So we got 68 new cases today and you say 59% is from community transmissions. From my calculations that makes it to be approximately 40.

Why are RTÉ always so lazy when reporting figures? Just now on 6.1 News reporting that the. U.S. has had almost 100,000 deaths from COVID-19, it passed that landmark early yesterday.

As far as I know community transmission is defined as transmission not related to a current case or current cluster. Person picked up the infection from the community and they don't know how.

Due to go to one in the middle of October myself and it's still on at the moment. Long way to go

A most spiky and tetchy performance from Dr Holohan this evening

He's been that way for about a week, since the finger pointing started in earnest.
Was it the 2m question or the nursing homes one?

That's what I always assumed. Thanks. Basically caught it out and about, on transport, at work but not in a workplace defined as a cluster etc.

Was wondering this.

So 59 percent have caught it out and about, or (I assume) off a family member or housemate who caught it that way.

Mot important question remains and nobody seems to be providing it.

How many of today's 70 odd cases are community transmission?

How many of those in the past 14 days, IIRC the first consistent good numbers started on May 11.

I'm the only person in my workplace bothering to social distance, it would be nice to know what percent of the general population are walking around with this thing.

Community tranmission is virtually 0. The majority of current cases are in the community but close contacts. This means that they are based in the community, but they can track where it has been caught from.

I haven't watched one of the condrences have only seen photos of him and descriptions of his dialoge here. Must be some serious pressure coming on him from big companies about now. He's dammed either way

My son's sister in law's wedding is in September, still going ahead. Although it's at her family home under a marquee. 150 people invited over 2 days.
Hope business stays on track for you.

What is the days death toll minus any deaths from March or denotifications.
