All settings - 49 is the announced total, down 16 on yesterday but up 9 on last Thursday bringing the 7 day rolling average up to 59.14. The earlier hospital figure sees that average fall slightly down to 8.86

This vaccine will be here quite quickly now, they reckon. They’re not doing human trials.

They’re testing it on kopites instead.

Solid evidence of the aerosol effect, if you dont currently wear a mask, please do

69 new cases in Ireland today. Beginning to consistently trend upwards now for at least 10 days. No longer Dublin-centric, most cases spread around the country now. Re-opening by the last government on the way out the door was a pr stunt that is going wrong imho.

Paying rock bottom wages on zero hour contracts means many workers will only be able to afford to live in cramped cohabitation and house sharing. Obviously going to lead to the like of this

Never mind the increased rulings on masks. If that is the case then masks should be mandatory in every indoor scenario right now.

If the virus was collected 4.8 metres away then social distancing should he increased to more than 2 metres surely?

Either that or make masks compulsory outside of the home.

I was naively hoping that the worst of this, might be behind us by now. But no this ain't going away anytime soon. 2020 has been the worst year of my lifetime, and this has been the worst summer of my life. Im too afraid to even travel to another part of Ireland, no hurling and gaelic football championships either. Normally around now i would be either praising and lamenting, the performances of Corks hurlers and footballers. Im too afraid to even use public transport even with a face mask. If i need to head into town, i just walk in and out instead. What i have been doing to get through this, is by watching old Everton Cork and Carlton games on youtube etc. A lot of book reading as well.

But im starting to crack a bit now. There was really bad news yesterday. Cases are starting to seriously rise in parts of Ireland, mainly in Kildare Laois and Offaly. Once the evenings start to darken, and winter arrives then things will get very bleak. Im just so desperate for things to get back to normal, so desperate for all this to be over, but this Covid 19 thing will be with us for quite a while yet. We just have to keep on going, until a vaccine arrives. But it ain't easy. I just see a dark few months ahead. This is a bleak time to be alive, but we've just got to keep on hoping for the best i guess.

There are people all over the world meeting up in large groups to party without any of this social distancing and mask nonsense. Unless there is a global imposition of true facism then we're just gonna have to live with this. The masketeers will have to accept that loads of people are fed up, realise that the danger of death is absolutely miniscule and want their lives back.

How diseases spread when we talk and sing

Tiny droplets of liquid – aerosols – are emitted from our mouths when we talk, shout and sing, carrying viruses and bacteria with them.

Everton have just signed a leading French striker. It's not all bad.
