I wouldn't argue if they asked us dubs to stick to our own country for a few weeks.

I'd even happily go along with a 5km radius restriction, although that may be a lot less effective than before with schools now open.

It's a warm weekend coming from the looks of things and we all have country homes to retreat to

Ye all go on about how great Dublin is yet can't wait to get out of it as soon as the sun comes out. Irony

Any statement from September 10th from NPHET? Age, county breakdown, transmission methods etc

New Home

Just a question about a potential Dublin lockdown - what would happen to the airport/Bus Éireann/Irish Rail? Would they reroute the flights and duspend all public transpory, does amyone know?

Any particular reason for declaring the percentage of cases under 45 every day or is it just finger wagging?

That's a 12.5% increase!

It’s actually a 14.2% increase

Can you elaborate on what is wrong with 7+1 being 8?

The same reason the don't (and haven't for a while) give the age of the people who are dying. It doesn't fit their narrative.

What has asymptomatic got to do with anything, asymptomatic people aren't going for testing unless it's compulsory through work or there a close contact. OP has all the symptoms of a cold they picked up form a toddler who had a cold which was confirmed by a doctor. Now he's blocking two people with actual unexplainable symptoms from getting a test.
The other poster above needs that test to get access to help asap. Can you not see the problem with self diagnosis and misinterpreting the HSE advice, I know there trying to do the right thing but in this case it's the wrong thing it's blocking access for people who need it.

I'm not anti mask, I'm not anti testing. Why would you think i'm totally against both in all situations. It's a very wrong assumption.

Because we've all seen your posts, and the site has a handy search function.

Kinda linked - when getting texted with an appointment, do you just get the texts between 9-530 or could I still get texted tonight? Got referred at 930 this morning.

I got tested due to having a hospital appointment, they told me that no news is good news, if I don't hear back continue to hospital, I never got a result, I presume the hospital did.

I got tested on the 28th August. My results were sent on the 8 September and I got them on the 9th.

Posters have reported 31-48 hours recently but I guess that could be longer.

There's a train of thought that's says let it fly in the under 45's as their least likely to develop severe symptoms and it will provide immunity for the rest of the population. Were taking the complete opposite approach.

You'd have to stop betting on a vaccine before you can have a sensible debate about it though.

Sweden tried it...we half tried it and panicked into lockdown, looks like they were right though.

Very unlikely. They didn't do anything like that in Kildare re: transport links or routes.

Government have already said there not going to lockdown Dublin, there just going to restrict the amount of visitors to peoples homes anything extra which I dont think there will be goes along with the medium term roadmap announced next Tuesday.

Do you remember (Djumember) way back when it was supposedly fewer women got Covid? Ireland's figures generally seem to have the same ratio or even more women..

Way back wasn't it just the Chinese with their ' wet markets ' ?
And all the smoking stereotypical males affected , as far as we knew then ...

I'd say the people and some business small non essential business owners in Laois, offaly and kildare are fcuking raging. The problem in them counties were outbreaks in meat plants and direct provision centres. Then the government hammered down with a lockdown on them 3 counties. Now the numbers are climbing in Dublin and NPHET are concerned about Limerick too and they do sweet fcuk all.

Boggles

73% increase on the previous 7 days.

Approaching squeaky bum time.

If that rate of growth doesn't decline rapidily.

It will be 300+ cases a day next week and 500+ a week later.

So 48 hours from test to result is bs, we need the testing and resulting sorted as some waiting for long periods

Seems to be growing. The few tests I heard of last week were in the 24 to 48 hour range. This week it’s pushing over the 48 hours in many cases and getting towards 72. Every single one I have heard about has been negative

I had a problem with my boiler earlier today, it had stopped emitting heat entirely, so I rang the plumber and he finally called over just about an hour ago.

"I think it might be a burst pipe, could you take a look?"

The plumber examined the boiler thoroughly. He told me he'd discovered a relatively trivial problem with a part not working. I was relieved.

"What is it?" I asked.

"It's just the flue bro"

Considering the rumours about the increase in cases in Limerick are due to a 'native population' and that them seem to be immune to criticism, I am not surprised it has spread
