Compliance down here seems incredibly high, great to see we have low numbers

Not surprising the two are rising together given the amount of commuting between the two counties.

Is it reasonable to assume that the lockdown last week was partially because they sort of knew we were going to have a week of rising numbers? In a weird sense , it’s somewhat comforting if it shows they are getting better at responding to spikes quickly and pro actively.

Don't have any of those. But seems I was right.

Those would largely be the results of the infections from two weeks ago. Next week is going to be really important. It might actually be that they were too slow with lockdown and suppression will take considerably longer now.

When we start hitting their death levels come back with that hyperbole.

Talk in the Examiner of Tipperary being locked down in the next few days.

Being realistic, schools aren't going to be opening. If a mushroom plant can close a whole county, 7+ schools having a simultaneous outbreak in a given county, and all the parents workplaces having to close as a knock-on consequence too? That's not sustainable even in one county at a go, let alone four counties. No doubt there'll be more spread in the coming weeks. Nobody is being deceived by this utter farce any more, it's plain to see. We're too small a country for this to spread like this.

I’m in Bettystown and my mum said earlier in the town it was black with people, little social distancing and not much mask wearing.

There’s a local convenience store I now avoid as they don’t give a crap about masks or social distancing. Deplorable stuff and they seem to attract the belligerent group of sailors that love to live dangerously.

Life has to continue. Cases were always going to rise after lockdown eased. Keep safe and taking precautions but that's all you can do.

Not a hope in hell of pubs reopening. I'd wager we're close to going back a phase or 2. They won't waste time on it.

Half of Kildare work in Dublin, tens of thousands of people moving back and forth on a daily basis even during the three county lockdown isn't helping.

New/total cases means nothing. It just means they caught a virus which has minimal risk to the majority of people (thankfully). The numbers in/entering hospital or deaths are what count.

Per the IT, there's only 14 in hospital as of last night, 8 of those in ICU.

Some posted said it yesterday that they knew a senior civil servant who said will be lockdown on Monday. Why wait till Monday? Either we need a lockdown or we don’t, this sort of “we will lockdown on Monday” (leaving 3 days for no obvious reason) makes no sense to me.

Locking down again means people being indoors more for the majority of the time so increasing the amount of contact people have, especially when you close down factories with 200+ staff and send them home where you could live in a house with 9 others you're not related to making social distancing impossible..
Locking down may bring the numbers down after a few weeks, then you're back to Covid Roulette again, spin the wheel and see what number it stops at.

The good thing is there's no deaths...

branie2

At least we had no deaths reported today

That's it, I'm sick to the b*****ks of it. Sadly I think this amount of cases has to lead to some kind of increase in deaths and or hospitalizations. 32% over 45.

Deaths and hospitalizations are what it's all about now. It can't be stopped from spreading unless we go zero COVID.

Without a new lockdown by the time late Oct comes around the hospitals wouldn't be able to cope.

We could have a 100k active cases by then. No government can let that happen.

If Covid was in Ireland in October we would have been Northern Italy.

I posted yesterday about new outbreaks in different towns in kildare ( factories) and an increase in Community Transmissions.. wasn’t expecting Kildare’s numbers to this high today but a lot of today’s numbers are a huge uptake in testing , I am still expecting Kildare’s numbers to remain between 40-60 for the coming week ..

ACitizenErased

I think today is the 4th day in a row that well over 50% of cases have come from Dublin and Kildare. We haven't really seen any major growth outside of those two counties, besides the odd cluster in Limerick, Clare, and now that factory in Tipp.

Don’t think anyone ever said we didn’t? It’s putting the cases in perspective and how we deal with has been the issue

Loads I'm sure.

I distinctly remember a few weeks back certain posters saying they wouldn't get concerned as long as the daily case numbers stayed under 25/30 a day.

irishgeo

Opening up the country and have everyone holidaying in every county in Ireland leads to cases everywhere. Hopefully with schools back and the traditional holiday period over we might get a handle on it again.

Isn't this the,"nothing to see here thread"

Kildare and Dublin.... At least they are detecting the spread from the clusters, but I really don't think these clusters have been contained.

As it moves without symptoms through younger people, I would expect a more wider spread in the community with hospital cases picking up within the next month or so.

6 in Galway is quite a big jump. It's usually 1 case the odd day.

And cold and flu season almost upon us as well. Winter is going to be a disaster.

So they travelled all over the country (probably mostly outdoors) getting the virus but sending them in big numbers into poorly ventilated spaces will solve it.

Totally bizarre assertion.

On the 15th of July Cork had 33 more cases than Kildare, total.
Today, Kildare has over 400 more cases than Cork.
Ridiculous numbers.

I'd like to know where in Wicklow the cases are cropping up, if they're on the west of the county then it makes sense being close to Kildare, but unfortunately they don't go into that detail.

I was in the local SuperValu yesterday evening and this morning I got notified by app that my phone picked up another phone that has been identified as belonging to someone who has tested positive with Covid. That person might have said the hell with this quarantine after 1 day or 14 days or whatever but it’s disappointing that people who are positive don’t do what they should do. I rang hse and said nothing to worry about as more than likely it was someone in queue. Just near someone. I was gone 15-20 minutes from leaving home to returning

Kh1993

This is the reality of the next 6 to 12 months. Unless we come up with some new strategy to fully suppress or go zero Covid (far fetched), this will be what will happen every 1-2 months. There’ll be lots of 10, highs of 2/300.

If we lockdown again, repeat the last 3 months again. Then again. And then again. Pointless approach.

Arghus

25 cases of community transmission.

Somewhere along the way people forgot the purpose of the lockdown, which was to prevent the hospital's becomming overwhelmed.

That won't happen when the cases are among the young thankfully.

We made an absolute balls of this whole thing. They should have at least made masks mandatory in all indoor settings. But just certain settings. An absolute joke.

normanoffside

Given that these recent spikes are mostly caused by food factories which were open all through lockdown, is it reasonable to assume these just weren’t being caught back then?
