Shocked at the restrictions regarding playing competitive sport . We know the risk is very low with it being outdoors and no prolonged contact

The problems seem to only arise in the shebeen after county finals. Up the lads! :pac:

i think the downward trend is over now and will probably start rising again. too many people not giving an f anymore. january will be grim. another level 5 will be needed almost certainly.

I'd say rte would have you on quick enough. Tick all the boxes. Negative, baseless claims.

The same people at risk paid for earlier generation too. Let's not forget that. The challenges for each generation is there.

They did nothing of the sort on the scale we are seeing now.

Another massive part of getting people to accept future lockdowns will be clear guidelines on a vaccine roll out

In the next few days I want to hear something from the government about their vaccine plan. The likes of the UK and Spain have already announced their intentions to the public. Time for us to do the same

Not as bad as I was expecting but looks like a backlog developing with swabs

By 11 December the plan will be sent to government. They are working on it now.

Big backlog or lots of follow up COVID test are still showing person as positive after week?

I actually don't care about cases in the slightest.

I don't think hospital numbers or deaths will be particularly different no.

So people who have just joined the forum shouldn't have an opinion

I’m not sure what’s happening with the swabs now. By my estimation there’s a fairly considerate backlog.

People said December would be grim too with the flu yet here we are

And it won't be as bad because of the measures taken by this government.

Crazy. Just shows how contagious Covid is.

Yes the discrepancy seems strange.

I know if someone who died suddenly during the week and they had to have a covid test before post mortem could take place. I never thought of cases like that being part of testing figures. Also of it did come back positive ( unlikely) would they count as a case if already deceased ?

Very early in flu season still. It usually takes off at Christmas.

Guess with wearing masks and social distancing levels would be lower than usual and less people going to see GPs in person makes a difference. And more people getting the flu vaccine including children. Would still think it might be picked up in hospitals and residential centres though.

Does it matter? The plan is in place now, nothing changes until after Jan 6th. So, who really cares about a number each day.

Can't say I mind too much. Hopefully it continues like that for a while longer.

I think you are in Finland. I came down with flu shortly after I moved there and the morning after I flew over and moved to a new apartment. No food in the house. . No support nearby. I’ll never forget it.

Lol

They're being counted as covid cases most likely, since the symptoms are similar.

In any case if we've magically hit zero influenza then that solves our hospital overcrowding problem surely?

Maybe they are offsetting the denotifications so that the number announced is the same as the total cases number increases by? No denotifications today.
