368 cases today.
RTE (a few days ago): "Surge of cases".
Bunch of liars and hypocrites.

I really enjoy how the news from other countries are filtered in the way that interest Irish media.

The health service is not pulverised. Parts of the country have an incidence rate between 50 and 150. There are 101 counties ("departements") in France and only 19 have a lockdown, which is less severe than here in Ireland.

But more interestingly: though the number of people in hospital and ICU has increased in France, the daily deaths have decreased by 1/3 since the beginning of February.

They have managed to avoid a lockdown, they did not see a massive spike of cases, but more a slow increase that can be controlled by reactive restrictions and that does not translate into spike of deaths.

Eh do you?

The link provided was not from the " Irish media" That is the situation as described by the French and international media.

I'm well aware of the fact that France has different departments. And from what is being said by French medical staff including doctors - who are saying about health services in certain areas being pulverised as in they are facing an inevitable rise in hospital admissions - which they say will be very difficult to manage. I did not mention deaths at all btw.

This is the current situation in France up to and including the 29th of March. Case numbers are rising without any indication of a decline despite the country being at approx 15% vaccination.

I hope they are able to get some control on that situation.

“There are 310 people being treated in hospital with the disease - an increase of 29 patients in the last 24 hours.”

RTÉ.ie

Well that’s not true

Regardless of if you are for or against needing a continued lockdown, I assume everyone agrees that its absolutely pathetic that these are always leaked to the press before bring officially announcements? Surely the amount of leaks are something that should be a concern?

I’ve been saying it since the beginning. We should be hearing this first from the Taoiseach of the day, not journalists.

Michael will make his statement some poem lines and then blame NEPHT for the reasons and then run for the hills why he sends on others to get all the grief

You are getting a bit excited about figures from one day. It's a bit hypocritical to get excited over a lower number and then be all over anybody who gets a bit anxious by a higher daily figure.

Exactly...90% of matches I play I go home, the other 10% it's to the pub. It's absolutly shocking if that's the reason they are banned.

The matches in question were county finals so folks would be a bit more exuberant and there would be lots more of them. Ratoath became the COVID capital of Ireland for a bit!

To follow up on the Examiners no inter county until July stuff.

It's amazing what different sources say

If vaccinations are going grand, inter county should be ok by June bank holiday imo.

According to Breaking News these are the dates for what was discussed.

That's in breach of the no easing restrictions ahead of a bank holiday rule though.

No gyms or ability to exercise outside of 5k also adds to it

There's talk of extending it across the county by 12 April. That should nearly be enough of a run for most people if a 10k round-trip circuit won't do.
