If you were here you'd see. Everybody wears one.

How much would T cell testing be? There were reports here from people being ill before this emerged and people suspecting they may already have this. If its a few hundred euro, one could pay the money to find out. For medical and science research. If I was ill last winter and suspect I had it, I would go down the private route and test, just to see.

Its not a case of money.
The technology is very specialised. I dont think theres a lab in Ireland that could provide it, and labs that do would not be processing a large volume of samples for such a specialised test.

Where are people getting figures county by county please?

Thanks

Need a max lockdown ASAP.

At a restaurant during our staycation this weekend. After we were seated, a couple strolled over to the 3 people sitting at the table next to us. They all shook hands and hugged each other. The couple proceeded to chat to the other three in close contact until the food was brought out. Wouldn't be surprised to see the figures rocket in the next few weeks. Awful lot of people are gone back to normal...

Or poor you you might have to pay an extra euro out of your pay packet. Who cares in uncle and aunt Murphy die.

No it means we won’t have the money to pay for their current level of healthcare or pensions. But carry on with the silly hysterical jibes

What is the point of the app if your just going to be told oh its nothing. That is absolutely shocking

Nope, you can check how many matching keys your app has had. You could walk by someone in the park, 10 days later they test positive and hse checks their keys, and you have a match. It’s when you have multiple keys from one device it identifies as a positive, and you get a proper “close contact” notification from the covid app.

The guys example in super valu didn’t happen in super valu. The matching check just happened at the same time. It could have been any device in the previous 14 days, anywhere. There’s no way someone in the queue last night or in the super valu was the positive test. The timing doesn’t work.

Anyone on here from Kildare able to comment on mask compliance? Genuinely interested in if people actually wear masks in the areas we're seeing biggest increases. I only say that because in Cork we're seeing low numbers with high compliance.

100% compliance in Newbridge and Naas from what I have seen.

I live in a big town in Kildare, masks are a huge thing from what I can see.
I haven’t seen one person not wearing one.

If 'our' means Cork, it may be worth noting that compliance is high in most places.

Indestructable

Fairly sure the cases in Kildare are unlikely to be the community spread. They're testing every household related to the positive factory tests, this is bound to throw up big numbers. Brady's had their second round of testing Thursday, results today. All staff tested, even those working from home since March.

Mask compliance is very high also.

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.

And since zero COVID is a fallacy we should accept the spread and focus on hospitalisations and deaths. Well, at the prevention of those.

Kind of curious, saw that you said you had a "matched key" over in the thread about the application.
Did you need to go hunting in the settings manually to see that for yourself (rather than app actually "warning" you of anything [via a notification]?)

I got these notifications and this morning it said 1. Couldn’t find anything in app like you’d see in video of app. So after googling a bit I found where it’s logged in iPhone. So I just rang hse when they opened at 10 this morning. I explained it was matched key on call

Unless you are running a concurrent placebo study you are just talking out of your ring piece, would that be accurate?

Well the Inverse is true too then,,.and cases have risen since blessed masks came in too...I’ve not seen any peer reviewed studies showing the benefits of masks to stop Covid 19...but yea, they’re just amazing.
They’re like some kind of rosary beads people clutch onto the vain hope they’re “stopping Covid 19”.

Eh no. Lockdown until we get back to under 10 cases a day, then out of lockdown until they rise? Then start again over and over...

Eventually we have to accept that the virus could be here to stay.

It is unsustainable to keep schools closed and swathes of the population out of work, under strain and worked up.

Many countries around the world have to live with malaria, cholera, etc. every day and every year. They have to make the best of a bad situation.

The age group points exactly where the problem is. Its totally different to before.

Can't do another country lockdown as it gets us nowhere as back in the same spot 3 months later

Again nothing to do with Cork or masks. More that it’s a relatively isolated geographical position in the country and hasn’t had clusters like Kildare. Nothing to do with your imagined efforts or virtues. Pure chance really.

Problem is, if this virus gets out of hand again it will be keen to make the number of ‘human beings’ a number less. Living with restrictions isn’t a laugh, but it’s doable and necessary People just need to stop being selfish needy cûnts, engage their brain, focus on the big picture.

I know of a few factories that don't have staff wearing masks. It seems to be just all show for shops.

We all know the Kildare cases aren't down to masks, it's down to catching the meat factories there 2 weeks late, letting it spread into the community. Just like the Dublin cluster is going to blow up in 10-14 days

s1ippy

To the people who are getting excited that there are no deaths.

1. Deaths here take weeks and sometimes months to report due to the notification procedures.

2. From onset of symptoms to death is typically 9+ days, for those who do die.

I hope to feck you're still yelling that we're getting worked up over nothing in a few weeks.

You don’t need to worry about those, it’s kind of silly that it notifies you tbh. As the app broadcasts different keys, it looks for multiple matches. My wife got one too. If you are in fact “exposed” it’s a notification from the covid app itself, tells you explicitly that you’ve been in close contact with a case and you’re in a queue to be called by the hse.

Posted this on reddit the other day but it might be useful here as well, just so people know what it looks like if you get a close contact warning through the app.

Notification

App

Also if you dig into the settings and check the Exposure Checks (Settings > Search for "COVID" > COVID-19 Exposure Notifications > COVID-19 Exposure Logging > Exposure Checks) you can see if any of them have a number larger than zero beside "Matched Keys".

Poor numbers today but was expected. Why don’t they just post the actual number on the day instead of backlogging and creating a large figure? Same last Saturday and previous that it was Tuesdays.

Mask compliance is excellent! I was in Kerry and Mayo for two weeks just before this lock down and compliance is higher in Kildare.

I think most European countries will be doing this.

For the umpteenth time so. Empirical evidence.

No spread in supermarkets, virtually no staff infected. All through March, April, May, June, July. With no masks. With hundreds if not thousands of customers coming through every day. Staff handling their goods and cash. Talking to and interacting with them. Staff stocking the shelves amongst the customers. All with no masks.

So we masks mandatory in supermarkets.

Expecting what effect from this exactly?
