It's certainly been very quiet on that front and anyone needing a test can get one.

Let's hope the vaccine rollout will follow the same trend, just much faster!

An interesting case study would be the pandemic of the 1890s. Which now appears to have been a Coronavirus pandemic.
It ran for 5 years, coming and going in waves.

I find it interesting that in the US, cases seem to be dropping across all states despite different levels of restrictions at the moment.

The 1890's wouldn't be known for its jetting setting ways, trips to Lanzarote, etc. It still found a way to spread via ships, rail, etc.

Selfish tw*ts.
I tell you life seems to be about doing what you want. Cause everyone else seems to be doing the same.

Yes but with seemingly no restrictions.

Oh dear i see some posters actually think zero covid means zero cases. After a year of this you'd imagine a little bit of reading and research would go a long way

Actually that is exactly what is the approach in NZ.

Oh sorry are there still people waiting days for an appointment for a test?
I just haven't heard RTE mention that and they are great at picking up any doom and gloom.

So interesting, thank you!

I had heard vaguely about that pandemic, but never knew it was from a coronavirus.

1 in 1,500 people dead, globally. My god Similar to this pandemic, should it be left do its thing.

Complete supression of community spread (locked down north island for 6 cases at 1 stage) and mandatory quarantine for all incoming passengers,native or not



Basically commonsense,not thinking we can live with a community spread of a highly transmissible virus....a ease of restrictions here for xmas has resulted in near on 1000 dead.....why are we trying to repeat same mistake again??

I'm sure it will. People expect miracles when you're implementing something from a standing start.

The headline says "experts warn new case numbers fail to reflect true level of infection". There is no reference to any expert saying this in the article.

GP referral data for yesterday is out. An increase from yesterday's good numbers, but nothing of concern.

If cases are reducing and household cases are increasing (which I'm sure was always high but no test and tracing to pick them up) does that mean hospital and nursing home cases are reducing?
I'd rather it's confined to households tbh.

What's people's experience of mask wearing in shops?

Just out from a big one and seen about 15 people wearing no masks in my 10 minute visit.

Sucha a rag of a newspaper, stopped buying it many years ago.

Seems to be a regional thing. I see 100% compliance in my local shop, but i know from other areas it's not that case.

I was fascinated by this too. It seems to have spread incredibly quickly too. Tempting then to say you should just leave Covid 19 rip but looking at the deaths versus our recent Christmas experience, the 1889 pandemic must have been a lot less lethal.

Couldn't believe what I was seeing.

We're never getting out of this came into my mind.

To be fair, any expert not saying that, isn't an expert.....
(Not disputing the quality of the paper etc)

That said, it is a good thing in many ways that so many people don't know they have it, but a bad thing in that, if they are not being generally responsible they are most likely spreading it.

RTE had a main headline on rte.ie last week saying the EU were "gravely" concerned about the new variants. The article then had no quotes from anybody, at all, and the word gravely wasn't used in the article itself (instead the article simply noted that evidence was still needed as to whether current vaccines cover the SA and Brazilian variants). I think this kind of terrorising of readers is outrageous. Covid 19 is worrying enough without clickbait merchants trying to make things seem even worse....

From what I have seen there is 90% plus compliance. Should be 100% of course but that`s not the way it is in reality even with the rules that are in place.

I think that they have probably realised what a sh1tshow it was a couple of nights ago, and how the public interpreted what they all said. They’ve realised that they need to play nice cop for a while

Do you think they dont know people are fed up? I'm sure the mood is monitored all the time not just after an announcement
