The top TV story night after night features numbers of people testing positive for a condition associated with hospital and ICU admission rates of 2.5 per cent and 0.2 per cent respectively. Admission rates are about one fifth of prior months and lower than those associated with seasonal flu. Such reporting would be more appropriate were the country dealing with an Ebola outbreak.
What is happening is what should be happening ā the young are working in essential services and socialising and contracting the virus, while the vulnerable, the elderly and those with illness are being cautious and, importantly, are being protected by the rest of society.
Yet you have lads on here (well lad) sullying the name of TFK by calling for further restrictions and using the UK of all fucking places to back up their data free arguments.
The Restaurants Association of Ireland now calling on NEPHET to publish the āinternational evidenceā they have around the spread of covid in restaurants. Who do they think they areā¦ the GAA!!
Nope. Cases continuing to steady this week is good as it takes at least 3 weeks for the āimpactā of restrictions to work. There needs to be a settled pattern till Friday. The 7 day average of cases last Friday was 133 cases, it was 142 yesterday.
Big increase in cases in Dublin had been in the previous 3 weeks.
Itās key to call out where NPHET are guessing.
Will he interesting to see today- last 3 days have dropped. Last Thursday had 119 cases.
NEW: Donegal restrictions to differ from Dublinās in one area only. Pubs that donāt serve food will be allowed stay open but can only serve a maximum of 15 people and they must be outdoors @rtenews
Usually happens towards the end of a night a feed of drink.
