I see you're doing that weird daily count thing.

So Slatterys in Beggars Bush have decided to close because of a case amongst a part time member of staff.

Bastard publicans though.

Also what is this bollix based on; Even without reopening the schools, we are already in trouble. The tragedy is if we maintained what we were doing all the way up to the end of June we could be reopening the schools safely today. We didn’t have quarantines We had no control over our border with NI ...

Before jumping on the bandwagon should we not at this stage be comparing accuracy before jumping in at the deep end with ease of use? Ease of use is almost as important as specificity/sensitivity for a pandemic like this. They won’t get approved unless they are reasonably good anyway. It’s like Mic...

"We're at the tipping point with Covid" according to Stephen Donnelly.

Makes a change from the "next two weeks will tell us a lot" being repeated for 6 months now.

Could be good Duff?

And this is exactly what a "witch hunt" atmosphere creates : Over 70% of people across all socio-economic groups believed that someone who contracts Covid-19 has been careless or reckless in following public health advice, according to a survey carried out by the ESRI. The research by the...

Where is the corresponding increase in hospitalisations or ICU admissions? It most certainly is bizarre 1.7% of cases until August ended up in ICU. With significantly more testing (finding say 5 times as many cases as before) and a younger profile of cases, say it’s 0.2% in reality. 2k-3k cases in ...

I don't see what's bizarre about it. The cases have been rising for around 3 weeks, increased deaths should only really be started to be seen right now. The cases remain amongst the young and this is reflected in the hospital figures. We have to stop comparing to March time when we were miles behin...

Ireland will be close to the UK and US I suspect.

Is that the Yanks? If so, what it shows is that the CDC no longer count the cases and deaths; these figures are now released via the White House. Here are the figures for their excess deaths We've all seen the loons saying that the covid death count is overestimated. Nope - corpses are easily count...

I’ll be heading off with the Cawley family.

The latest nonsense from the Orla Hegarty crew.

Just saw this as well. It will be a shame if this site sits idle for another few years.

Coronavirus: We must save lives but we also need to live Caveat: New Zealand’s lockdown relapse shows there is no easy way to avoid living with Covid-19 We are all epidemiologists now, or at least we think we are. Just as we were all bond strategists during the financial crisis a decade ago, and yo...

The white building is only nearing completion, it's a shame, a total waste. Dublin Landings beside this will look fine because at least there's a gradient down to it. That little white yoke will be dwarfed completed. Still though, the North Docks will end up having some nice high quality buildings t...

We are getting to the ridiculous stage where living a comfortable life rules you out of having any part in running the country. A view that seems to be held by far too many in the electorate. Which is funny because most of the most lefty voices in the Dáil are from comfortable backgrounds! This is ...

Funnily enough, she goes for that line when O’Broin is her husband and the SF housing “czar”. Where did he go to school and what skin colour is he?

She doesn’t seem to even know what identity politics is.

Did he get the wrong prescription?

Mount Street has a bit of potential if they can eventually get rid of a couple of those horrid office blocks. Would be nice for some more mixed use along there.
