Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
I went for a cycle in the Phoenix Park there (alone, miles away from everyone and everything). Some absolute bint walking along with her friend decides to just dump a load of rubbish on the ground. Her friend picks it up. She's now handling stuff her friend had obviously handled totally unnecessarily. People need to cop the fudge on.

I think I'm getting into some sort of routine now. We had to collect the kids' books from the school yesterday with plenty of work to keep them occupied. They have their own routine now.

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
In fairness, there's been talk on here of people having it earlier in the year, heard it plenty of other places too in person and online. Same story with some Brits I know. Presumably just some variant of this years normal flu season but I suppose it can't be 100% ruled out yet that it's been around longer than we know. China planting stories about it emerging elsewhere no doubt helps increase the doubtLeinsterman wrote:Boards.ie - the breeding ground for cranks, moaners and conspiracy theoristsdanthefan wrote:There appear to be people who seem to think they had it back in Nov/Dec/Jan, which would make them think they are immune now, which will change their behaviour.

The amount of people who have confused "we are reprioritising who we test" with "we are going to do fewer tests" is mind boggling.

They didn't allow them IN. They laid out the books on benches in the school yard, all distanced apart and people were able to come, keep their distance from each other and collect the material.

It is. But testing has been heavily focused around known cases. If you expand testing out beyond contact tracing the +ve % will be lower.CM11 wrote:Didn't say otherwise but 6% of 40,000 is still greater than 1,500. Even if you say it's not far off, that's assuming no new cases at all apart from those 40k. You're also more likely to see a greater return of positive test as it spreads more.Blackrock Bullet wrote: 93% of samples tested at the National Virus Reference Laboratory (14,692) have tested negative, according to Fergal Bowers.
With regards to the change in testing, is it coming with change in advice? We're all meant to be locking down anyway but there's so many asymptomatic people out there with it being unclear how contagious they are that we can't really afford to be lax.
Re the asymptomatic/contagious thing. You are contagious but it's low risk. You'd need to swap saliva with someone like kisssing etc. It's low risk contagious. You only become high risk contagious when it gets into your cells and starts reproducing to a point that it begins to eject copies in a process know as shedding and then you cough or sneeze and send the virus back into the atmosphere. That's usually a few days(2-4 is the workign theory) before you develop symptoms.

Ciara Kelly mentioned that they did no contact tracing for the days before she felt symptoms which I thought was odd.
