It’s insane isn’t it - loons like Gerry can spout any amount of scaremongering, zero evidence based gibberish and they keep their jobs and are continually invited to speak publically on matters. Meanwhile people like Dr Martin Feeley and others are cast aside and pushed out of positions for giving alternate views which don’t fit the narrative.

632 positive swabs, 3.11% positivity on 20,335 tests.
7 day test positivity is 3.5%.

Safe to say its being routed out given the amount of tests

Yes. We should have been doing this weeks ago. But better late and all of that....

What did they expect?

Five star accommodation?

Let them complain fine but they'll have to do their time

Yes it’s so important we lock up incoming travellers with negative PCR tests. They’re clearly the issue. Never mind people caught at large illegal gatherings or those who test positive for Covid or are a confirmed close contact - sure let’s just hope they behave themselves. I wonder when people will actually realise that this is just purely a diversionary tactic to cover up the governments failings?!

Good numbers for sure. Great positivity. Huge testing numbers.

Feels weird people are being so negative. These figures are the envy of Europe right now. Even much of the globe to be fair.

What show was this on? Was he challenged on this assertion and how he came upon this figure? What data he was using? I'm absolutely sick to the teeth of this ISAG group getting airtime. If they're not going to answer questions about their email leaks, their tactics, their decision to deliberately mislead and cause anxiety to the Irish public, their decision to ridicule the individual - then a full blown boycott should be undertaken. Was Gerry Killeen questioned as to why he wanted to take a hurley to someone who disagreed with his insane views?

Why is it only now that we're hearing more from Kingston Mills? He's infinitely more qualified than Tomás Ryan.

Saturday with Katie Hannon.it was unreal but not surprising.but Gerry has personal experience of at least 4/5 pandemics and as he claims himself he’s perfectly solved 2 of them.
Kingston mills is very good and gives hope.heard a fellow professor from ucc the other evening on with Matt cooper and he gave subtle digs to Killeen and the other zero COVID idiots

Life has been pretty good in Perth for the past 12 months, as close to living “normally” as you will get anywhere on the planet so excuse me if my heart doesn’t bleed for them because their hotel experience isn’t up to Disney World standards.

They’ve misread the room badly if they think they will receive much public sympathy by running to the press moaning about the accommodation being a bit cramped for binging on Netflix over the next 12 days.

After the year we’ve all just endured and are still enduring to come here after pretty much living a restriction free life in Australia throughout Covid and then start moaning after 24 hours because they’re stuck in a hotel for a few days....suck it up!

Great to see the volume of tests. But at what cost are these numbers being managed is the question?
Will our public debt and reduced public services as a result of the extra costs of keeping areas such as construction closed for longer than any other country also be the envy of the rest of the world or will it be a lesson in how not to balance lives, livelihoods and the economy?

45 less positive swabs with 4114 more tests than this day last week

I wonder how many positives there are in the walk in centres?

2000+ tests a day with very few or no positives probably.

Makes the positivity rate worthless in comparison. If it wasn't going down we would have a major problem.

She said it wasn't safe. As opposed to traveling in your mid 50s across the world during a pandemic. She's a dose. Does the bed have teeth? They get outside for fresh air every day, meals, a bed and a roof over their head. They've come from Perth so they've had a handy year. Just a me me me diva. Worse than Djokovic.

So much for security . I love it, some entertainment for a Saturday afternoon. Will they put out an alert over all media for the suspects? They might feature some video of the escapee's on July's Crimecall.

Quick - get the Garda chopper and other valuable Garda resources on this immediately. Sure they’ve nothing more important to be doing....

‘More as we get it’ - you’d swear this was some big dramatic and serious situation!

After this they should be put on a bread and water diet only for the rest of their stay. Give them something to fcuking moan abut and be rightfully ignored.

Makes the positivity rate worthless in comparison. If it wasn't going down we would have a major problem.

From RTE:

"The five temporary-walk-in Covid-19 test centres for asymptomatic people will operate throughout this weekend at Grangegorman, Blanchardstown, Irishtown and Tallaght in Dublin and Tullamore in Co Offaly.

Of the 1,700 people tested at these centres on Thursday, 1.34% tested positive for the virus"

Higher positivity than I would have thought. Its always good to identify and isolate as many cases as possible but I actually think testing random areas in high and low incidence areas would give us a better idea of how many cases in general are in the community.

Even if you remove those 2000 walk ins the positivity is still a very good 3.5% which is less than last week.

An Old West style wanted dead or alive notice with a reward for whoever turns them in might be more appropriate.

20/03: 546 +2%

Today is also the first day in a nearly a week that the 7 day average of swabs has dropped.

They have since updated last Saturday figure.

686 swabs from 16621 test a positivity of 4.13%

So it's 3714 more tests this week and 54 fewer positive swabs.


Not sure what's the highest? but 119,565 is the one highest ever weekly number for tests and from it we have got 7 day positivity rate of 3.5% which is the lowest 7 day positivity figure in testing this year.

I don't know, I'd be pretty annoyed to pay €2500 for two small rooms - not that I'd expect sympathy, but maybe I'd expect something better for the money.

Very interesting. I didn't think there would be that many positives. 23 extra cases discovered or so. More chains of transmission broken probably.
