    A lot of it is personal responsibility either way. Would imagine lot of travelling within Ireland and from other countries to Ireland, people seeing more family etc so think will be inevitable rise in January.

    With 24 denotifications today, that makes 49 for November so far. By my calculations we have now passed 500 denotifications in total, there were 175 denotifications in October so rate of denotifications is increasing. These are nearly more interesting than the case numbers at this stage.

    Pardon my ignorance, Pete, but what does that mean, denotifactions

    :confused::confused:

    The 7 day average is now 624 cases per day this time last week it was 936.

    I think you'll be right there

    I'm just guessing here. Heard ominous soundings from Saint Anthony of Covid about people travelling home and back elsewhere. Dunno what will happen there. I see it as a big risk myself since Europe is not doing very well.

    I suppose Irish citizens in US can travel, but will they be able to go back?

    Wait and see I suppose. I feel so sorry for those who may not be allowed to travel, so will say no more just now.

    Well there were 322 new cases but the total overall number of cases only increased by 298. I don't know if these are false positives which a second test proved was incorrect or if they count suspected and then denotify them if test comes back negative, there doesn't seem to be an official explanation.

    No, that's just you! Testing demand is down as is the positivity rate and the number of close contacts is at about 3. R0 is also at about 1, and probably below it this week. That all points in the direction of a lower number of cases.

    Or level 3 worked very nicely.

    Everything we do has a risk, but a huge drinking session (if pubs are opened), and unlimited travel to and fro (those who leave will come back presumably) will not help matters.

    As you say, a quieter Christmas for many appears to be on the cards. I'd have no issue with that, but I totally understand the disappointment and sadness of many who have not been able to see their families for a LONG time aswell. Let's see what happens.

    ROI and Dublin core case numbers and averages since the introduction of national Level 3 on October 6th.

    Level 3 eventually slowed growth nationally but failed in Dublin after a brief reduction. Level 5 is working shrinking new cases nationally but again not as effective in Dublin at a slower 7 day % rate so far

    IMO, this amounts to crimes against humanity. These people need to be tried at the Hague.

    With the rising numbers of missed cancer diagnosis and suicide increase being squarely down to our sledge hammer lockdown policies do you also believe we should see Tony Holohan in The Hague ?

    Ther are many people who have sacrifised so much for these lockdowns, i've lost all my work , so the country going drunkenly mad to celbrate the end of lockdown , seams crazy and stupid , unless we get to zero cases, and I dont believe that wil happen, even in 4 weeks.

    are you honestly trying to pretend this is all cos of level 5? it's clear level 3 brought it down before the effects of level 5 should have taken affect.

    Elderly Swedes aren't important to the Great Swedish Multicultural Utopia that is planned.

    Whereas Irish authorities love the elderly so much they let an entire nursing home fall ill before lifting a finger.

    Numbers in ICU are down 2 because those 2 people died yesterday in ICU , RIP .

    not to be a negative nancy but anyone else looking at this huge drop in cases with suspicion? like it seems too good to be true.

    I would be the same on case numbers alone, but overall all the signs are there: less testing demand, lower GPBuddy tracking, lower positivity rate, lower positive swabs, hospitalisations decreasing, albeit with icu stable as opposed to decreasing.

    Though stays in ICU are generally longer, so those not increasing can certainly be seen as a positive.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,024 ✭✭✭pauldry


    Positivity rate is decreasing.

    It's going to be low now for a few weeks and then the next spike and hopefully a vaccine soon after.

    I'm probably the only person looking on the bright side in this thread. I cant even say I'm probably the only positive person here for fear of being misunderstood

    :confused::confused:

    It could be people who were counted twice - for example, a person had a test at a test centre, and was moved to hospital the same day where another test was done. If both tests were positive, the person might have been counted twice - a later clean up of data would catch the duplication and "denotify" a case.

    The lowest daily reported case number since September 26th

    That was my birthday and the one time this year that my girlfriend and I got away: a weekend in Kerry. We did the Coomloughra Horseshoe on Carrauntoohil (the three highest peaks in Ireland in one day), then had a meal out in an actual, real restaurant and finished up with a couple of absolutely beautiful pints in a pub (she had a cocktail of some kind - it had an umbrella in it and looked loud - she's Brasilian).

    My best day of the year by a country mile. Loved every minute of it. A total highlight and I'll remember it forever.
