Of the cases notified today:

•2,250 are men / 2,641 are women
•59% are under 45 years of age
•The median age is 39 years old
•1,513 in Dublin, 695 in Cork, 320 in Limerick, 305 in Wexford, 225 in Galway and the remaining 1,871 cases are spread across all other counties.

As of 2pm today, 1,582 COVID-19 patients are hospitalised, of which 146 are in ICU. 156 additional hospitalisations in the past 24 hours.

This has to include a backlog of around 2000 cases. ACE posted earlier that there was 2845 positive swabs. Then they go off and announce 4929 cases.

Indeed yeah it appears cases these days are not daily but rather over 3-4 day period

They need to fix this issue and stop with all the confusing numbers and cases.

That's the problem with daily reporting at a national level, the sources don't report daily so you're going to get very jumpy numbers and pages of people trying to explain the noise.

ACitizenErased · 11-01-2021 10:17pm

The only thing actually worth looking at now is daily swab numbers, positivity rate and GP referral data

Really? Is it that bad there? Is t there only one shop there, the centra?

The backlog is now done. It was quite straight-forward maths since the start of the year once swabs were being tracked. As ACE said above, swabs are now a very good indicator of where we are.

As I alluded to last week, AZ on track for January approval. To be more specific, EMA meeting set for the 29th.

Yes it is small I think one shop and maybe two pubs, a healthcare worker was at the party and brought the virus into a community hospital which now has cases and some deaths, you would think healthcare workers would know better

I do feel for patients and families in hospitals and care homes

The quality data was sent in so was it

An opinion on the marketing authorisation could be issued by 29 January during the meeting of EMA’s scientific committee for human medicines (CHMP), provided that the data submitted on the quality, safety and efficacy of the vaccine are sufficiently robust and complete and that any additional information required to complete the assessment is promptly submitted.

Such a short timeframe for evaluation is only possible because EMA has already reviewed some data on the vaccine during a rolling review. During this phase, EMA assessed data from laboratory studies (non-clinical data), data on the vaccine’s quality (on its ingredients and the way it is manufactured) and some evidence on safety and efficacy from a pooled analysis of interim clinical data from four ongoing clinical trials in the United Kingdom, Brazil and South Africa. Additional scientific information on issues related to quality, safety and efficacy of the vaccine was also provided by the company at the request of CHMP and is currently being assessed.

Hardly Deaths on the rise. Icu no's getting out of hand and close contacts not being tested.

There is a time lag with Covid. We won't see the benefit of those fewer infections for a bit yet. Those that passed away or who were hospitalised recently were probably infected 1 to 3 weeks ago. Fewer infections now means fewer hospitalisations and deaths two or three weeks from now.

Of course deaths are rising, what do you expect? ICU numbers are not getting out of hand, by the way. HSE said today they can cater for up to 350 in ICU. Cases are decreasing so we won't get even near that.

JP Liz V1 · 12-01-2021 7:33pm

46 Deaths
3,086 Cases.
604 cases are in Galway, 574 in Dublin, 466 in Mayo, 187 in Cork, 138 in Limerick and the remaining 1,117 cases are spread across all other counties.

Tell that to the RTE headline makers who take parts of stories rather than the overall package. But like yesterday's numbers.

I haven't read RTE in months to be honest. I can form my own opinions based on the data presented by the HSE. I think more people should do it!
