    Ahh lad come on, the poor Aul us routine is well over done.

    If the original Michael Dwyer thought like you, he would have stayed in Bed.

    You didn't really get the post if you thought it was poor us..

    Michael Dwyer would see BS for what it was. His ilk dealt in realities. Not fluffy media conferences.

    You just need reassurance and someone to put your dodi back in when it drops. Mammy tell me I'm good. I lack confidence. Post colonial inferiority complex.

    Tell me we top the Eurovision song contest winners list again mammy! I'm soft!

    Diiddums indeed.

    You seem intent on having a fight tonight. I recommend others to ignore you. I will be.

    No there's always some excuse. We're doing more tests. We're strategically testing. We include nursing homes. Others tell lies but we're squeaky clean. It would remind you of the time our athletes never doped..then along came Michelle Smith, Cian O'Connor's horse etc.

    The death rates and infection rates are high for an island nation. We have people coming on here delighted with the curve flattening. They proclaim it as if all was well. An average death rate of 30-40 people a day for the next 3 weeks may be a flattened curve but it's still very poor performance in curtailing Covid.

    630 new cases is the second highest 'fresh' total recorded after 657 one day last week.

    Tony Holohan etc are lovely mild mannered civil servants who engage in platitudes and niceties so that the masses remain relatively calm. They state we're below R1, their beloved models say so. That can only be a guess given percentages tested and guess work at how contagious Covid is.

    These are the people who told us for a fortnight in late February and early March that we were low risk, when the dogs on the street could see otherwise. And we're supposed to trust their judgement and the veracity of their pronouncements now?

    Those on here who say 'oh Tony said this, Tony said that'. Tony said we were low risk too.

    I will ask anyone the same question to bring to the level of the individual. Are you hearing of more or less people either ill, awaiting test or await results than this time two weeks ago? For me, and people I talk too it’s far far less. If this is the case in a week or so we will see the results. Today’s numbers are not today’s reality but the new infections of probably 2 to 3 weeks ago

    Sadly noted in the figures that the age range of those who've passed away in Ireland due to complications caused BYU COVID-19 has now gone from 25-105 (yesterday) to 23-105 in today's figures. Desperately sad, terribly young. RIP to all souls

    Loads of posts yesterday about a 23 year old

    41 dead in the last 10 days would they be that way out?

    No the total number of deaths are correct. It just means the 44 confirmed today didn't all die in the last 24 hours. If you get my meaning.

    Included 1 death later rescinded by HSE (Mar. AKAIR) but not geographically located, so left in.

    HSE 15th Apr - 1 death that was reported earlier has now been discounted, again not geographically located, so left in.

    So total now 2 greater than HSE total of 571 - 18th Apr.

    If we have plateaued(?), could we expect to see the number of new cases fall markedly by the end of next week?

    What's wrong Joe? Are you not able to stand up for yourself? What a pathetic comment. Joe if you're going to ignore don't reply in the first place...

    Every statement that's brought forward showing we're not doing aswell as the PR bluster has a caveat, doesn't it.

    Something mystifies me.

    Our ICU admissions have levelled off and are well below the maximum threshold. This has been lauded as good news.

    Yet many of the deaths had no underlying conditions. Yesterday, 19 had no underlying conditions.

    Are they not going to ICU?

    Age might be the issue but a large numberly of elderly people have recovered from this internationally. There's been reports of people in their 80s, 90s and over 100 recovering in hospital.

    NOTES: -
    * Daily increase numbers on these dates represent both new cases and older cases reported from Germany which results in skewed daily % increases and average case reporting % changes, numbers are broken down as:-
    Day|Date|New Irish Cases|German Cases
    42|10/04/20|480|1035
    43|11/04/20|553|286
    44|12/04/20|430|297
    45|13/04/20| 527|465
    46|14/04/20|548|284
    47|15/04/20|657|411
    48|16/04/20|629|95
    49|17/04/20|597|112
    50|18/04/20|630|148


    ~ Denotification of deaths:-
    10/04/20 – 1
    16/04/20 – 1

    ** "Recovered" rates are not reported by the Department of Health in the above link, these figures are taken from the Worldmeters and Johns Hopkins websites which use data supplied by the DoT to the ECDC under the WHO Guidelines for reporting.

    Recovered statistics are only be published as "recovered" following two successful tests of being clear of the virus under the WHO reporting guidelines, as a result it is likely the recovered data is skewed. Updated on 15/04/20 - The WHO reporting criteria has been changed recently to eliminate the 2 test requirement before reporting as recovered, now an outcome report is sent within one month of initial notification or when an outcome is known, the available health outcomes are either “recovered/healthy”, “not recovered", “death", “unknown" or “other", weather this helps create more accurate recovery numbers or skews them further is yet to be seen.

    *** Due to the above issue with reporting of recovered cases the number of active cases is also likely skewed.

    Loads of posts yesterday about a 23 year old


    Ok thanks. They were reported as 25-105 yesterday i believe (could be wrong). Anyway its true and thats the worst part of it


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,746 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    Something mystifies me.

    Our ICU admissions have levelled off and are well below the maximum threshold. This has been lauded as good news.

    Yet many of the deaths had no underlying conditions. Yesterday, 19 had no underlying conditions.

    .

    Perhaps an unknown underlying condition. I suspect in a lot of these cases the deceased actually had a problem that they were unaware of.

    If we have plateaued(?), could we expect to see the number of new cases fall markedly by the end of next week?

    We were told, with great authority, from the excellent team of boards epidemiologists, 10 days ago that the 440 fresh cases was the peak. That was a figure from 2 weeks ago.

    When it hit 657 this week, oh we're doing more testing. Look at worldmeter, our testing now is average. Put you notice the goal posts are always shifting.

    The best examples are Spain and Italy. Slow down from peak is really, really slow. Deaths remain at 60% of what they were at peak. That suggests late May we'll unfortunately still have around 25 deaths a day.

    Community cases are down allegedly, but based on evidence community testing is patchy and the priority is now healthcare related situations such as nursing homes.

    If community cases were down you'd expect all cases to be down. Family transmission and healthcare transmission now appears to be a big problem.

    We have plateaued but at a very high number of new cases. Hopefully we will see declines next week, but given the testing shambles already its hard not to be sceptical.

    Checked out of here for a while, refreshing not to be reading constant negativity and people getting visibly excited posting 'bad' news.

    Regarding the WHO comments, they have been widely misreported by the Irish and UK media.

    That's science journalism for you. :( The headlines are almost always misleading, on any topic. Either the journalist doesn't understand what they are writing about or they are intentionally going sensational. Either way, it's very annoying. :mad:

    Are they not going to ICU?

    Age might be the issue but a large numberly of elderly people have recovered from this internationally. There's been reports of people in their 80s, 90s and over 100 recovering in hospital.

    Many very frail and elderly people die within hours of contracting it, hardly showing symptoms.

    :D

    But isn't there a lag between the death rate falling and the decline in new cases? So we could have 100 cases but the death rate will still be slow to fall as you say.

    How many of the current cases are down to the cock up in the Nursing homes? If we take them out of the equation, how many of these cases are community transmissions?

    Any idea's where they can be bought at a reasonable price?

    My local Supervalu has a fairly constant supply so perhaps check yours?

    Easy to be unaware of any condition until it's nearly to late, my wife's uncle was putting the fact that he was getting leg cramps down to getting older as he cycled into work every day.

    When he did eventually go to the doctor about it he was eventually diagnosed with heart issues and is on tablets due to increased risk of heart attack. He's a non smoker, healthy eater and had a job as a gardener with the council before he was diagnosed.

    I don't have the stats. It's a lot in nursing homes. But then one day last week with 40 odd deaths had only 9 in nursing homes.

    I'm irked at 'In Tony we trust' brigade. We were told we were low risk initially to prevent panic, mass buying etc. The truth is the first casualty of war. We are being told a lot of what we are at present to make us feel good about the effects of lockdown.

    It's a bit like a workplace when jobs are threatened, senior management rarely let the ordinary folk know the full story to keep things on an even keel. Information is carefully released on a staggered, well timed manner to make decisions more palatable.

    Folk epidemiology as a field is in its infancy but I have a good feeling about it. Look at all the great work our folk historians have done.

    Ireland #9 in the world for deaths / million

    #1 for a country with a population between 1 & 5 million

    RIP

    Shocking inditment that.

    Well, yeah. If, in February, the HSE told you everything they knew back then, you would have shat yourself.

    More Draconian? Don't make me laugh. I never seen the streets so busy! Unfortunately, I hate to say it, Ireland are sleepwalking into a nightmare

    Hysterical nonsense without any supporting evidence.

    Yes like we sh*t ourselves all the time. No wonder there was a run on toilet paper, needed it handy for the HSE briefings.

    We'd prefer the unvarnished truth to some nifty PR.

    I suspect the nursing home situation is going to get far worse before it gets better.

    Deaths are the ultimate metric of how we are doing.
