Does it matter?

Platitude platitude. We all need to work together for all our platitude platitude. Some rules here which many people will blatantly ignore and will not be enforced. Platitude, something Churchillian. Something in Irish.

But a virus with no mind cares not a jot for education, the economy or healthcare capacity. If they are only accepting the scientific recommendations that are economically palatable, then we are on the slow train back to disaster.

There is a way to deal with this, it's the high tech hard work approach you see in Asia. Track cases ruthlessly, test on a massive scale, isolate cases and potential cases properly. We've already hit a level where we can't test all contacts, tracing isn't working quick enough or thoroughly enough.

We simply do not seem to be capable of managing this as it stands.

Asia as in China??

LOL people still believing what they tell us after everything they have done since the start of the pandemic.

That interview Varadkar did on Claire Byrne will be his defining moment.

I don't think so, to be honest. We have seen a reduction in the growth rate in Dublin since it was moved to Level 3 and as the government continue to apply specific and targeted measures, this should further decrease hopefully leading to a more significant decrease in case volumes especially amongst the vulnerable. Adopting the sledgehammer approach of Level 5, recommended a couple of weeks ago would have had significant impacts on other healthcare matters, mental health and the economy which all must be factored in to any decision. (a fact seemingly lost on some on boards) We know now compared to March that this disease, whilst bad, is not a death sentence. Therefore a smart and measured approach to restrictions, evolving as we learn from experience would seem the most intelligent approach to me.

My Dad is in a nursing home. They have been absolutely fantastic and have been taking every precaution. They rang this evening devastated. Their first positive case was confirmed earlier. With widespread community transmission, it is almost impossible to stop the spread to our most vulnerable.

We got the same call today from my mother-in-law's nursing home. For so long they did a fantastic job of keeping the virus out but it has unfortunately found its way in. They are gutted also and so so apologetic - but there isn't much more they could have done. Fingers crossed the MIL escapes it.

AFAIK no child in a school is considered a Contact if there is a case in the school, so no testing required, same for the teacher.

Is that a cover up or not?

I doubt they have the manpower or will to provide those tests.

It might not be a cover up but they're definitely being selective on the way that they are reporting the statistics.

All tested, I did say confirmed cases.
All under 60, over 25.
One has diabetes that I know of, 4 co-workes I would not know of underlying conditions.
Dont know if any are on meds.
5 of then from a ski trip, 2 in work have no idea, 3 from collage house share, 2 others also no idea
None have needed any further doctor interactions

This wasn't a study just my experience as I said
The studies show it's got a 0.1% mortality rate

I think smoking kills more than covid, better stay indoors in case someone smoking outside

Not at all.
So you don't know all the complexities of your work colleagues illness.
Why would you?
If I were to give you my personal experience as a nurse working through this, you would see why I think your parting comment is so absurd.
But that would be a waste of time...

I remember all the Halloween stuff at home, I'm older now you see.

We just dressed up in some ridiculous outfits and went door to door saying "Help the Halloween Party", none of this trick or treating either. Am grumpy now :P

I'd love if it was announced that a meteor was potentially coming to destroy the earth, a new crisis to have fun with.

They can ban gatherings and give all the stony-faced speeches they like but until they drill down on the actual enforcement of it they may as well stand there and read out banana bread recipes for the next 20 minutes.

I'm sorry, it's very simple. Stop visiting other houses and stop socialising with other household groups. It couldn't be clearer.

Most people are doing their best. The problem is the cohort who don't care whether the limit is 6, 4, 2 or zero. And the gob****es like we see in the GAA videos.

But can we still have big booze ups after the county finals?
