Dublin is a disaster zone with those numbers. How long have they been in at least level 3 now with no noticeable decline.

Went from being the worst county in the country in terms of incidence rate per 100k over 14 days to being around 18th or so.

Some people really really really believe that the 1000 cases yesterday vanished, and the only cases are todays 1000.
But we've had a 1000 cases plus now for days

1000 x 15 days is 15,000, not 1000

All the people taking umbridge with "Tony Holohan's" tweet, do you really think he's there on a Sunday sending out tweets after having spent the last month convincing the government to shut down everything. He's 100% definitely at home spending time with his wife and daughters.

It's fair to say a lot of people now see two enemies : gubberment plus Mr. Tony.

Yep, but it's still on a list. I remember the days when we didn't have to make a list of where a dangerous virus was spreading through the population of the country, or the world for that matter.

Dublin bottom half of the county cases per 100k.

Good to see that teachers are starting to get a little bit more vocal with their concerns, and that the media are starting to report on it.

Maybe you are intimidating and she saw you late.

Where is Sam McConkey's 5000 daily cases for Dublin by Halloween? That's right, nowhere. The fact that the media are keeping him on as a talking head speaks volumes. Level 3 is good enough, let us hundreds of thousands get back to work and achieve some semblance of a Christmas. We're stuck with this virus until a vaccine is market ready, like it or lump it.

Just heard on the BBC news that Spain has declared a state of emergency, and that they anticipate it will go on until at least May.

I know it's a different country and it isn't exactly news that this is going to continue well into next year, but hearing things like that can be hard to take It really just feels like it'll never end. What if there isn't a vaccine for years and years, will we just be stuck in this cycle indefinitely?

I notice it myself passing older people on the street. You can see the fear on their faces as you pass. I try and give as much distance as possible.

As this disease will become endemic I worry for how we interact in the future.

But we're basing this whole thing of one persons post on the Internet.

Pods of 15 are allowed for kids, you can fit alot of adults in an open area while social distancing to watch their kids. Some people just won't be please until the GAA is disbanded.

A bit of a leap from me expecting the GAA as an organisation to make the effort to follow the guidelines like everyone else and wanting the GAA disbanded. Complete hyperbole. If you didn't spot it I also called out our local soccer team for similar. I'd have the same expectations from the FAI and other football bodies.

They may have a state of emergency but they still have much less restrictions than here and the situation is much worse there.

Always_Running

Some decent progress seen this week. The positivity in testing dropping from 7,3 to 6.2

301 less cases the last 7 days compared to the previous week from a few thousand more tests carried out. 3 less reported deaths this week compared to last week and the hospital and ICU numbers has not increased to the level that was expected this time last week.

Is there a lesson to be learn't here? They have much less restrictions and the situation is much worse there. Have you answered your own question?

A few weeks of level five will hopefully get the numbers down to a manageable level we can't stay at 1000 cases a day

I wonder if sporting bodies here should adopt the tactics which the NFL is using against teams who flout anti-Covid protocols in the states ?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The NFL has fined the Tennessee Titans $350,000 for violating protocols leading to the league’s first COVID-19 outbreak during the season, a person familiar with the discipline told The Associated Press.

The Titans had 24 people, including 13 players, test positive for COVID-19 between Sept. 24 and Oct. 11. The outbreak led the NFL to postpone two Tennessee games and the rescheduling of a game against Pittsburgh from Oct. 4 to Sunday and the second against Buffalo from Oct. 11 to Oct. 13.

The NFL and its players association sent officials, including infectious disease experts, to Nashville where they reviewed video and interviewed players, coaches and other personnel.

But the NFL found the Titans failed to wear masks at all times and were “insufficiently clear” to players about not meeting or working out once the facility closed.

It would be effective !

It needs to come down, we've probably not seen the effect of the rise in cases on the hospitals

I was there for 6 weeks in summer, parents are still there. Emergency where they are means a 12pm curfew, but you can still go to bars and restaurants, or the beach or whatever. Ireland's rules are draconian in comparison. But they have a world class healthcare system and ours is a joke.

Did you just make this up ? NPHET said nothing about testing . According to them it was safe to play . So your issue should be with them

Did you read about this. The GAA made a big show about having a rapid testing programme, but it is only done on request. Obviously given the risk of teams having to forfeit matches if they can't field a full squad, that creates an incentive to adopt a 'head in the sand' approach to covid 19. What makes it worse is that the amateur nature of GAA means any infected players are highly likely to spread it amongst the team, and then onto the wider local community. It's an absolute farce, and was obviously designed to pay lip service to safety rather than a genuine attempt at containing the spread of covid 19.

State of emergency is needed to implement restrictions. That’s all that is. Similar to our health Act 1947 where restrictions are time bound and need to be rolled over.
