I see the opposition in the UK have come out and called for a "circuit breaker" for two - three weeks.

That's shortened the odds considerably of us doing the same.

I'll probably be shot for this but is GAA an essential necessity that needs to go ahead, the partying after matches are leading to cases

They suspended club games. Club training and inter-county matches aren't suspended AFAIK.

Only 2 days ago the guards in Roscommon had to break up a post match dinner party...

There's more people in the NHS system than at the peak of the pandemic. That is not the case here.

What is current community transmission?

Nobody will publish. She's not s senior author but seems to be doing her best in the absence of help or peer review.

She's been discredited by just about every one of her peers at this point, also the report was funded by Steve Bannon of Trump fame, so draw what conclusions you will.

I think we'll wait to see just how long 2-3 weeks really is. Nobody here is keen on the idea at present.

The amount of people who make things up in their minds without enough information and think it's a good thought is amazing.
Numbers are not going to remain the same. They will either go up or go down. They are still going up in Dublin and that means there's more cases in Dublin and the more cases there are the more likely that the virus finds new hosts.
The clear answer is shutting the schools.

And what clear, unambiguous information are you basing that on?

Not surprised.

Paper was funded by a "society" founded by Steve Bannon.

Yes they seem to contribute to the woes of numerous counties and gaa matches are NOT an essential service

Well if people understood it and did the right fúcking things they wouldn't need to keep repeating themselves.

I think Level 4 is the most they want to go in practical terms and possibly a bit easier to get out of. Level 5 is really a two step reversal through the equally onerous Level 4. It's also one thing to go against NPHET when they want to higher levels but quite reckless to try to reverse it against their advice.

I don’t think the gov will wait till health system is under threat of collapse - they won’t want to take that chance. Obviously level 4 would be the better option for everyone if 3 does not impact the trajectory as quick as the gov would like. I could see a panic jump to level 5 if things don’t settle particularly with Christmas and all that , that brings. At this stage it is still pretty much either way - lets hope level 3 is sufficient.

So what, you expect them to come and say... Numbers of cases are rising, numbers in hospital are rising, numbers in ICU are rising, deaths are rising but its nothing to worry about....

Doctors room ghost

The gaa should have cancelled the idea of an intercounty championship months ago and I say that as a fan.
It’s a farce trying to run a championship in the current climate.
I’d give it a fortnight if it goes ahead.

There is very minimal difference between four and five in terms of shutting down the economy

Special 'celebrity' strain. He'll be grand. 99.98 chance of making a full recovery going by his profile. Better chance of being killed in his private jet or winning the lotto and being struck by lightening on the same day.
Where did he contract it.? was it in that Sheebeen in Westmeath over the weekend.? :rolleyes:
