Trend is still not good at all.

I wouldn't class 3 as a decrease.

Cases surely need to be dropping by tomorrow. I thought the peak was meant to be last week?! How can more people be getting this if we all stuck indoors!?

ACitizenErased

Intensive care numbers have dropped to 158.

657 new Irish cases, 411 german. 38 deaths RIP. Slight increase in cases today, similar enough growth rate.

Does along with mean you add the 411 to the 657, or is it included in the 657? It doesn't be clearly worded at times.

About 6% or so increase.

These are mostly coming from the backlog. Majority are old cases.

Seems like the extra lab capacity is able to pick up more cases now as well which is also good news. The more strict testing guidelines would also contribute to an increased number of cases found

May be some with underlying issues.

No the total additional cases added is over 1000. Of those, 657 are new cases and 411 are from the historical cases sent to Germany.

What are you talking about? The deaths may be a couple down but they’ve been fluctuating around the same amount for some time now, but this is the highest new cases in one day, is it not?

That seems much more likely.

Honestly, the misinformation is head-wrecking.

It certainly is.

The truly odd thing is that some idiots get a kick out of spreading it around.

You add to the 657

The 411 are a week to 10 days old,

Yes you add them. The overall total increases by 1,068

It doesn't matter if they had an underlying condition ffs. They still lost their lives. I don't know why people are hung up on underlying conditions. It's like some of you's are happy to write off anyone with an underlying condition.

Positive rate is constant.

90% are over 65, you thought correctly.

There is no writing people off, it's just an observation but hey ho swing away like a drunken Viking.

CMO saying the increase in cases appears to be due to the increase of testing picking up more cases while GP referrals are dropping.

Even the common flu can kill a healthy young adult if you get unlucky.

RIP to all the souls lost.

Let's pray for significant falls in case numbers and deaths in the coming days and weeks

I reckon after tomorrow we'll be seeing very low case numbers. The backlog is making it look like we've exploded.

All age groups can die from this that's been no secret, just far more likely in older age groups

Well I think a lot of people will have some assurance if they, or their loved ones, do not have underlying conditions, if this sort of info is provided

Of course it's the opposite for anyone who does have an underlying condition. I fully understand how many people appreciate this sort of information

What do you expect people to say aside from RIP ..........people die all the time from all manner of things including this virus and unless you know them or someone close to them they are a statistical number, it's a cold hard fact

We had our highest ever number of fresh cases today, 657. The German test backlog has nothing to do with it.

Death rate is increasing too.

More testing doesn't increase your death rate...

Great post.

You're pissing against the wind, unfortunately, appealing to some people's common sense around issues involving Trump.

Hatred is always likely to bring out irrational responses from people. Even people who are not normally predisposed to such irrationality. Trump just seems to be like a red rag to a bull with many people.

I've never understood the insane level of hatred for him personally. Especially when you consider what other world leaders are doing (or not doing). Has anyone heard a peep out of any of the Chinese leaders, since they unleashed this deadly virus on the world, as an example?

You'd swear Trump created this virus himself, the way some people attack him!

Completely agree, the man is so utterly inept and ineffectual in the role, it's a waste of time. Bypass him. Ignore his daily press comedy routine and get on with real business instead of his reality TV sideshow.

They are near the end of that backlog. He did say that the positivity rate is quite constant.

I'm really not sure about that. It seems to be a matter of more results coming through. As has been stated many times before it's deaths, ICU and hospital numbers that are more indicative of the spread of this, rather than a figure that's a product of the number of tests undertaken rather than the number infected

You realise that part of the backlog is part of the Irish total? We didn't send the entire backlog to Germany.

Its literally the age at which you are considered an old age pensioner in this country.

We'll see, they did say 20% of the backlog was being processed in irish labs so of the 657 there could be part of the backlog.

Sounds like the labs now have capacity, lab in UCD is working with spare capacity at the moment. Hence the question there about expanding the case definition potentially next week

More testing is always going to find more cases, for a while yet.

Meaningless to say 'not good' without knowing how many tests were done.

As a "%" increase it's fairly stable so we can still expect larger number increases.

Only a small amount, they confirmed previously. This is wishful thinking.
