The other annoying thing is posters refusing to answer a question after being called out on it and then leaving the thread. You wouldn't know anything about that though!

As far as I'm aware there is no requirement to answer a question you don't want too, has this changed?

I have a word to describe this BS but I would get an infraction for using it.

Awhhhh, diddums, you should be free to speak your mind... nobody will mind.

Great stuff. Very low positivity rate over last 24 hours. Should be a low number of cases announced today but who knows!

What locations are the laboratory tests carried out in?

Who knows? Was there any explanation for the discrepancy in yesterday's figure of 32 cases but only 24 positive tests?

I think we all just need a low figure today.

Can people really not see the logic in the meal thing, or is this one of those jokes that’ll be overused so much it might get funny again?

Probably end up with 15 denotifications in a few days - hard to trust any number at the moment being so low

I can see the logic in the meal thing, but I also know it's nonsense. The government worried about house parties but yet are going to keep pubs closed? Where the hell do they think young people will go?. At least in a pub there is some chance of SD house party not a hope. Garda resources to tackle house parties lol.
I have no interest in pubs but then again I'm older married so my social outlets are different than a 20 something.

The food side was really an economic one and they felt the risk was minimal on account of the regulations. In your standard pub, behaviour is harder to predict and manage, plus it is seen as a very high risk arena. I agree on their potential to reduce the frequency of the house parties but there's all that mingling post-pub, especially in urban centres that will not be in line with SD. Rock and a hard place but the call was way too late for me.

Call me a cynic, but I suspect the impending bank holiday is a factor.

My company have contracted a German lab for in house testing. 50 volunteers selected this week to trail the system. They have a triage cabin setup outside the building, and temp scanning at the door. I think the idea is that anyone who has a high temp on entering the building or develops symptoms at work can avail of test straight away. In addition they have a corporate requirement to quarantine for 10 days following international travel, so employees can avail of the testing pre and post travel

Is this case number the thing you've been posting about that it's not the same as the positive cases ?

Well we now know how they make NPHET shudder! Personally in favour of moving 1 or 2 to where we have none like Feb 1 or Sept 15th!

Christ, it's a joke. If it were real the government would have copyrighted the regs and licenced them to WHO.

What is the logic, we went out last night. 3 pints first, few chicken wings then 5 more pints. Nearly 5 hours and we could have drank for longer. If normal pubs offered table service I dont really see the difference or the logic myself.

It's not the first time. His "problem" is that he assumes people actually understand what he is saying and are not intent on shaping it into something entirely different.

I watched De Gascun basically rubbish the suggestion by a Czech expert that face masks suppressed the spread of the virus in society April last on Primetime. That told me all I need to know about his expert opinion.

I've stopped watching either them or rte because you'd be liable to get an anxiety attack listening to them talk about covid-19. I've bookmarked the rte.ie homepage on my phone and I just check the cases every day. I don't listen to anyone's analysis I just look at the numbers.

I'm finding this quite disturbing. I hope it wasn't hot and spicy chicken wings with pints of Guinness. They would completely destroy the taste of the next few pints after them.

If infections increase, a version of a lockdown could be reintroduced.

This is not scaring people, it's common sense.

Just for the lads talking about the pubs I've been reading up about the Angry Barteder Ireland facebook page just to hear from someone in the game (I'm out a few years) crazy **** you can hear the lads fearful for their jobs. Dreadful to hear really. Lots of bartenders and waitresses etc just no idea what to be doing with themselves.

Never mind destroy the taste, I'd say the facilities in the house would be a sight after spicy chicken wings and Guinness on top them.

The fact that we are a very long way off that is what is missing. That's what deGascun said. Nolan must be cringing with what they are doing with R0 as proof.
