Finally something important and reasonable from the Greens.

45 cases, 0 deaths

45 on a sat isn’t a good sign

He’s right but he’ll get hammered for it, the permanently outraged of twitter will be, you guessed it, outraged. Play it behind closed doors in a neutral venue like Donnybrook. The kids have earned that much.

This is likely to be still the Kildare dog food factory and related Direct provision centre cases ?

Donnelly said a significant proportion are linked to existing outbreaks/clusters.
That in itself is significant because it means the tracing is working quite well and they can hopefully limit it spreading.

In the UK one of the SAGE team is now saying "you might have to choose between pubs or schools..."

45 on a sat isn’t a good sign

Traditional pubs simply aren’t compatible with a viral pandemic. End of. The government needs to pay them to stay shut and pay the staff to stay off work. It’s shit but that’s life. Schools are different, they can’t stay closed.

Pubs aren’t reopening on August 10th anyway, heard that today.

Panic stations again...the “hybrid” strategy goes on...

The hybrid strategy you argued for and now criticise?

Dutch infection rates off the chart


Yet no push for reversing lockdowns. Most that will happen here is likely local lockdowns.

Im back in the office now too.... And the Gym.

Much more relaxed attitude here. Both parents in law have had it now and recovered.

The Dutch are cool. Weird but cool. Not Belgian weird just weird

And just doubled the number of deaths due to Covid in the NL to over 10,000. Apparently they forgot to add in their Nursing Home deaths until now.

Saw that mentioned. Wonder what was finally the last straw, considering what she's put up in the past.

Edit. Assume she was losing her shit about Eid Mubarak in Croke Park?

And just doubled the number of deaths due to Covid in the NL to over 10,000. Apparently they forgot to add in their Nursing Home deaths until now.

Quite possibly.
She's probably having angry hate sex with a guy with a grey beard and long hair right now.

Only in Ireland /Nardol
The Netherlands are perfect /Sewa

I didn't mention or refer to Ireland once

Get the fudge off our thread so

So you decided to post information about the Netherlands on an Irish thread but it was in no way related or meant as a comparison to Ireland? Okay kid.

It’s the same in another country that shall not be named. Everything ticking along with continued social distancing, people prepared to live with a level of risk, schools will be open in September and there is none of this war gaming we’re seeing elsewhere.

Reading comprehension not the best in Ireland I see.


Hint: i did reference Ireland there

Ireland’s unemployment rate was 22% in June. Job loss rates were > 75% in sectors such as Personal Services , Accomodation and Food. Here we propose a strategy for directing employment supports at new claimants at greatest risk of long term unemployment.

Speaking to the same programme, consultant in infectious disease at The Mater Hospital Dr Jack Lambert said the solution was not to wait and see and have more restrictive processes in place than our EU neighbours.

He said we need to have a plan that is viable and sustainable and work with Covid-19 in the long run.

Dr Lambert said Covid-19 is not a short-term problem and will go on for around three years, adding that we cannot stay in lockdown for three years.

He said the economy and public health needed to be balanced, but with health of course being the priority.

Dr Lambert said the big problem in front of us is the domestic transmission of the virus here, rather than cases related to travel abroad

Infectious diseases expert Prof Jack Lambert has said it is not “the right message” to be saying that “if we open up the pubs then the schools won’t be able to open in September”.

The UCD associate professor also said he did not believe the State’s restrictive travel policy is the answer to dealing with Covid-19.

He said there were fewer cases of Covid-19 in Northern Ireland than in the Republic even though the South has a more restrictive travel policy.

“We have to focus on where the clusters are in Ireland,” he said.

All but 4 of the cases are connected to an outbreak/previous case. Hopefully we're coming to the end of this mini spike.

And it confirms that the trace and test system is working as it should.
