I'd love to see those fúckers caught and given a hiding, the state of the place they left it in.

Yeah, that spot, Bushy, and the green area behind Rathfarnham Shopping Centre are a disgrace at the moment. There's even burnt out areas where they've lit fires.


If only there was a Garda station nearby ...

Almost identical to last week, marginally lower.

Probably in for another fuzzy few days, data-wise. Thursday will be the new Wednesday next week.

Leinster game tonight Vs Toulon off now too, cos of positive test in French camp. Damn you covid, damn you.

The French must be running around licking each other the whole time. Honestly, their sports teams have been terrible. If it's indicative of general approach in France then it's easy to see why they've had such problems.

Gallic shrugging their way through the pandemic doesn't get them anywhere.

My mother (80) having vaccination tomorrow (about bleedin time). Lives on southside not far from Aviva, but has to go to DCU Helix. Can't understand why they would not be able to accomodate people in their own side of the city.

Ahh thanks, hadn't realised that it was specifically nominated as only centre for that. Pity they couldn't have had southside/northside process.

Jesus, the horror of having to go to the Northside, eh? Just outrageous what they make good people do nowadays, isn't it?

Journalism these days.

Indo - "More than 500 healthcare staff fail to show for jab after appointments duplicated" - the implication though that 500 HCW's just didn't bother. Of course they weren't going to show up if they already had appointments. How is that 'failing to show up".

Irish Times: "Nphet confirms 761 new cases as health expert warns of very ‘transmissible’ virus" - "Of the 761 cases, the highest total since March 21st...." But no mention of backlog, again, implication being that we are rapidly rising.

Yes last Friday 7 fewer positive swabs from 362 fewer tests carried out.

LOL a virus going around
Called

And then to prescribe antibiotics .

I’d be insisting on a test and then changing GPs

Good luck with that. We moved 2 and a half years ago and have never been able to get on the books of any local GP as theyre all full. Have to go back where we used to live to see a GP. No idea what immigrants or people who move across the country do!!

Qrt

Anybody got the official source for cases in NI re: cases and positivity rates?

107 cases in Northern Ireland today... 0.88% positivity rate, case rate of 45 per 100,000.

Where do these figures come from?
There testing has always been extremely low and the case rate looks to be per 7 days not 14.

Its hard to believe we blamed the north as our bad neighbours for so long.

Over the next few weeks/months, it'll be us who will be viewed as the annoying, unvaccinated neighbours.

I thought we couldn't meet with others even outdoors?

Maybe he has finally realised that everyone is meeting up anyway, so he might as well advise them appropriately

Of course you can. But it's limited.

You can meet with one other household outside your home for exercise.

Especially when they open up and we're so far behind

Went to one of those walk in test centers today, my first covid test - was pretty efficiently run. Hope they stick with the idea as you'd have to think they'll lower the incidence rates in these areas over the course of the next few weeks

Rambling Man

RTE:
At least 14,000 asymptomatic people were tested over the past week at other walk-in centres and 3% tested positive for the virus. 

Higher than I would have imagined.

Could all along to exercise alright but yeah guess its sending out message that if meeting anyway outdoors is better than inside. Unless fully vaccinated too.

No I don't think youre even currently supposed to meet someone from another house to exercise.

Have you a source for that please? I don't see anything online about it?

Ya several links but they all largely lift from a Reuters article from March 16. They also mentioned it on Clare burn with Sam mconkey this morning. I think at this stage the WHO class it a vui Virus of interest, where as the Brazilian and South African variant are classed as vuc, virus of concern.

I’m not in favour if these walk in centres. I think it’s a ploy by NPHET to keep case numbers high

Easy to just focus on large numbers like yesterday and forget the lower than average days.
When you compare the 7 day average, it's not growing at least!

VUI is variant under investigation, haven't heard of vuc but it's definitely not variant "of" anything considering the U.

Yeah it's a big ploy by NPHET to keep us all inside because that makes loads of sense, they're mad to have the case numbers increase, sure why not..

Or.. maybe we're finally on a road to better testing, tracing and surge control, meaning no more lockdowns and better understanding of the virus.

But yeah, it's a big mysterious plot by NPHET, even though other countries successfully containing this virus have been doing it for the guts of a year.

People are all mad to get out of lockdown and then they're mad at measures that help us out of lockdown, it's hilariously sad.
