   Waving half the roll in one hand, Fauci tells me the problem is that many states started opening up before their cases got down to a baseline level where new cases could easily be tracked. "I think we have to realise that some states jumped ahead of themselves. Other states did it correctly," he says. "But the citizenry didn't listen to the guidelines and they decided they were going to stay in bars and go to congregations of crowds and celebrations."

Yet another week over.

Deaths in the ROI  the the last 7 days = 10 (one less than last week and we had 3 days with no deaths at all this week)

Case this week 127 (36 more cases than last week but 11,000 extra tests has been carried out this week compared to last)

230,000 cases globally in last 24 hours, a record.  Having managed it down to very small numbers on the island of Ireland, it's pretty stupid that we are now going to give it a second chance through air travel.

There are only two strategies to avoid high rates. One is to tell everyone to stay at home, the other is to have your tracking and tracing in good shape so that you identify who has it and you tell their contacts to stay at home. As for guidelines, the class of person who likes to stay in a bar all night will not listen to your advice. you need regulations.

Great work Cunny
Pubs in Ireland now open 2 weeks
Lots more testing getting done with the percentage rate of infection dropping.
What's going on?
Where is the big spike we talked about?

Not all pubs are open and there has been an increase in numbers. Not a "big" spike, but it wouldn't be long until it was if you didn't sit on it.

[Smurfy123]

11000 extra tests done last week in the south
All sports teams back throughout Ireland with no spike happening?
Strange one
Maybe washing the hands whilst keeping your distance alongside ring fencing care homes would have been the call to make at the start
But as milltown said hindsight and all that
Wil be interesting to see the north's numbers today over the weekend

Could have done with a DeLorean stuff right there!

Northern Ireland: weekend update
1 additional death
16 new cases
1 case in ICU

These are 72hr figures as NI no longer does weekend updates

It seems some of these US places are run by Smurfy. Have a lockdown, don't have too many cases because you have a lockdown, then declare that the small number of cases (because of the lockdown) means that there isn't a problem and so let's throw open the floodgates.

They had something like12,000 new cases in Florida yesterday  and some right wing nuts in that State are holding protests about having to wear face masks.

Is there anywhere to find the specifics of where these cases are?

I don't know where the states goes to from here. This thing is going nowhere fast. It is going to be very problematic for the rest of the world and travel to/ from America.
