And that's what posters here are doing based on what he did during the pandemic.

shouldn't we have had them all along?? with airport restrictions?
they should be vaccination not test centers. That's all window dressing now like most things. This is so they can point and say "look, another surge...lockdown til July"

It's nothing but a dragnet for mild symptoms which will be used to boost figure which will in turn be spun as high amplitude spikes on the graphs, which will in turn constitute further restrictions,

I see Ciara Kelly put it up to Sam Mconkey today when he was waffling on about long covid.

Michael McDowell on Niall Boylan now talking sense.

Ciara Kelly has been consistently wrong on almost every aspect of this.

Well Sam said we will have restrictions for years because of long covid.

Ciara said lockdown was about saving lives not stopping long covid.

Do you disagree with her?

She had the right guest on so in McConkey.

whether right or wrong to date, she is right on this. Long covid itself is no reason to maintain restrictions

Even if we use that metric, Donnelly still comes up shorter than Peter Dinklage.

I didn't say otherwise. This stuff about one guy being arrogant and the other being genuine is nonsense though.

The geohive one. It says last updated today and 8am on the graph for hospital cases.

Journal reported it too

The journal is wrong - it says updated to 24th alright, but there is no data point in the chart or in the background data for the 24th. 357 is from yesterday morning. They didn't update this until well in the afternoon yesterday, looks like the same today.

Yet another failure to understand what the 5km restriction is for

Well a politician should at least be appearing to possess values which the public admire or agree with. That's all he was doing. You're right, nobody knows if he was truly genuine or not but that really doesn't matter in the context of getting the public's respect or buy-in.

The walk in test centres are for people living within 5km of the test centres.

GP referral data is out. Not much of a drop from Monday. I'm never sure which data point to look at but "Clinically likely Covid" is up about 50% from same day last week. As others have mentioned, this data is based on a survey, and doesn't tell the whole story. But it is something of a guide. Need to see these numbers stabilise and fall again.

Not the beach. The nearest point of the high tide, I can actually get to the top of the beach, just not the water.

Just very unlucky.

You would wonder though, with talk of another wave in Europe, evidence of increased mobility, schools back, Paddy, Cheltenham etc., are GP's erring on the side of caution and sending a few more people for a test, time will tell I suppose.

As I mentioned yesterday, anecdotally there are now non covid colds running through childcare / school settings, certainly in Cork, so this could be skewing this data. As I understand it last month covid was the most likely reason for any covid symptoms but not now.

Will be seeing alot more of these stories when 15,000 people are in court for non payment of covid fines

wonder how many "thought we left Europe though" responses there will be to that...

Somebody said in a tweet that GPs they've seen on twitter are speculating that there'll be 1000+ cases some say this week but I can't find any evidence of it, anyone have any info?

caveat emptor

Wonder which variant they are talking about. The UK one has been here since December. Why the need for targeted local testing? Might be to find the S.A or P.1 variant like the UK did. Would be great if they show the geographic spread of the newer variants as you might be able to see if that's what's driving it. One walk in Tullomore. De Gascon said before Christmas the UK one is only a tiny percentage of cases and a month later said it was 90% of cases so locality matters.

The messaging continues to pave the way for very few changes to the current restrictions come April 5th.

What are the conditions on the ground please?

Obviously restrictions are in place but in reality are there now widescale gatherings in houses, and everybody mixing far and wide?

God forbid they try and get the most up to date info before making a call
