yes, I have to say Im not sorry to see the mink industry here stopped in its tracks. Some farmers had bern resisting / blockading their farms and authorities were having to get police involved.
Given this new mutation development and that there is agreed full compensation for farmers, hopefully they will just let them in this time...

Do minks actually get very ill from covid themselves and die or like with other species bar humans just get on with life... if you can call it life ..living in a cage?

12,502 swabs, 617 positive, 4.94%. 7-day is now 4.62%.

Still good numbers, but be nice to see a sharper drop from today on.

Edit: The daily positive rate today exceeded the 7-day. But it also did that last Wednesday too. May or may not be coincidence.

Just wondering there you see the figure 617 positive. Thanks.
I see the 12,502 on the data hub.
And I also see 4.6% on the data hub.

Not that I can see. We've more per 100k than they do. That's excluding our own surge capacity which isn't included in the HSE report, also not sure if NI include surge capacity in their report.

Thanks Stephen.

You need to know the total positive number from yesterday also

If you have the numbers from the day before of total positives, you can subtract yesterday from today to get 617.

Or you can visit this great resource from a boardsie that tracks it each day: https://covid19.shanehastings.eu/api/swabs/

Anyone else think the US election coverage is great today? First time in 7 months that it isn't wall to wall Covid news stories.

All open to correction though if surge capacity is included somewhere along the line. I also can't find a total number of public beds in Ireland, just whats available at the end of the day in the HSE report. NI provide the number on their covid dashboard, I might not be looking in the right places to find ROI

An living in DK, just saw the press conference. DK is the worlds biggest contributor to the mink farm market. We have 17million mink to be culled apparantly. Theyve been culling some farms already for a few mnths now, but this new mutation means curtains for the industry.
Some people have been claiming that it is birds -seagulls etc that hang around the farms, that are the reason for the spread. They found covid on a seagulls foot apparantly. Now the state wants samples of birds ftom affected areas to be tested. Theyre enlisting the hunting association to help.
They said worst case scenario its a new pandemic but its up to international biologists to make the decision on whether its a new "Covid20".

That seems like a stunning loss of life to exterminate at the drop of a hat could they not just do consistent testing and quarantine and observance of the few people who handle process the mink at close contact??

Yes, not to downplay the seriousness of it but as a conversation point it's pretty dull, just loads of stats. Forgot what it was like to have consistent coverage of other stypes of tories and events

Saving a few of the positive swabs to make it look like a huge increase in a few days.

Strangely low number of cases in Galway yesterday, 5 and then 36 today. Seems to happen like that for quite a few counties.

Thinking it has possibly to do with contact tracing as mentioned somewhere before in the maze of posts here.

Aye fur coats and no knickers, that about sums up the economies of Europe with covid battering us all again

But to be honest, those mink have no life, culling them will be at least an end to a miserable existence, and, if covid mutates through them, it’s very necessary to stop a new strain developing.
