Erm, that's from March, when little was known about it.

CDC from the 5 th of October updated their findings. Close contact is still the most common route.

Yes I know but it's been reiterated recently.

My point was that poster was purposely stating as fact that the virus was hanging around the air and spread that way.

Quote "Do you think people are going around coughing and sneezing on each other? They aren't doing that. This virus is airborne." End quote

Also airborne is not the same as aerosol transmission they are not interchangeable phrases. Yes "airborne" transmission happens but in very specific settings. The virus is not waiting for you when you open your front door.

There's a rotten attitude towards young people in this country at the moment. Seeking to blame them for the spread of the virus. Even on here some of the commentary has been extremely nasty even as far as describing young women as 'dirty prostitutes'.

I agree. They've sacrificed a lot this year. For some of them their lives will have been irreversibly damaged. They have moved on now and good luck to them.

Echoes of March from Italy again- may just be a warning

If the daily rate of coronavirus cases in Italy reaches the same level as France then hospitals would be able to cope for just two months

Don't think such lists available, other than by word of mouth locally.

If a contact tracer contacts you they will fix appointment and give you location or if, after you call your GP with symptoms and they find you should get a test they will likewise set it up for you at one of the centres.

Rte all over reporting lockdowns and restrictions in Europe, that gives the green light to our politicians to have another lockdown.

When it comes to 'fighting' covid we don't have much imagination, restrictions restrictions restrictions.

What are they 'over reporting'? Restrictions are being implemented in countries across Europe because we are in the midst of a resurgence.

This is not breaking news.

Turnaround from getting referred by doctor to results is 4-5 days now.

Madness.

It's not sustainable.

Im in Galway and I called Monday at 9.30am. Doc called me back at 10.30am. Booked in for test Today at 5.00pm. Im assuming ill get results by 5pm Friday. So ya 4-5 days is about right.

Im fairly certain I dont have it but cant be too careful. Hardest part of it is that I couldnt let my daughter go to playschool so shes at home with me while im also trying to work. Next to impossible. Id love to be able to just go to the shop

If you drive with someone take precautions.

There aren't many extra restrictions to take if we want to match NI. Really it would just be closing off licenses a bit earlier and maybe an extra week off at mid term.

Belgium saying their hospitals will max out by mid November at the current pace.

We will reach our maximum capacity of 2,000 beds by mid-November in ICUs if this kind of increase continues. We absolutely need to avoid this scenario.

Van Laethem said 152 new patients were admitted every day in Belgian hospitals over the past week, up 80%. The number of daily deaths rose 56% in that period.

It demonstrates the power of this exponential growth. It starts slowly, grows little by little, then finishes with an explosive situation.

Meanwhile Catalonia shutting pubs and restaurants for at least two weeks among other restricts. Shops will operate at 30% capacity.

The Catalan government has announced that all bars and restaurants in the region will be limited to a takeaway and delivery service for two weeks from Thursday night following a surge in cases, writes Sam Jones, the Guardian’s Madrid correspondent.

Shops and markets will operate at 30% capacity, gyms, cinemas and theatres at 50%, and children’s play areas will close at 8pm.

The strict measure comes after the weekly total cases in Catalonia rose from 7,000 to 11,000 over the course of a few days.

“This is a painful measure and we know that,” said the acting regional president, Pere Aragonès. “But it’s a necessary measure and we need to act now.” The alternative, added Aragonès, would be even stricter measures.

“We need to act with absolute commitment,” he said. “We need a huge collective effort built on individual efforts to change or day-to-day habits so that we can once again reopen these social spaces.”

And on the flip side opening up our churches with no mask wearing inside. Crazy decision from NI.

Thanks, but I've already googled and found those links, but neither of them are a list of Testing Centres as far as I can see.

Mr Varadkar said that other countries such as Belgium are no longer using case numbers to make their decisions on restrictions and on policy.

“They are looking at hospitalisations, ICU capacity and on deaths. It is a job for us as politicians to say to the public health people that maybe we should be focusing on that

Pretty clear now I suppose.

I don't get this can't the Catalonia government not just announce in the press for the population, 'to stop getting infected, please.'
