I don’t suppose if you have any statistical data that seperates out asymptomatic of the numbers? If our Asymptomatic numbers have been rising it could. Be explained by people being infected with lower viral doses due to masks and better behaviors (social distance , hygiene etc). That may also help explain a lower death rate which would be fantastic.

If you exclude the spike caused by the clusters, our 7 day average has again begin to look pretty healthy (relatively).

Positive numbers. Tomorrow might be different

Numbers be good today

Where are the cases from the Meath Crèche?

Are they in the Sunday report (Friday figures?)? The news report said the family was only notified of the results on Sunday night, so I’d have expected to see them today, or am I missing something?

Of the cases notified today:


24 are confirmed to be associated with outbreaks or are close contacts of a confirmed case
5 cases have been identified as community transmission

So that’s 29 out of 35 allocated. What happened the the other 6?

This is what can happen during wars and natural disasters , there is a new norm and certain liberties are lost until the crisis abates. This is a very slow moving natural disaster , so more extreme long term measures are needed until people cop the f**k on and realise the virus has no ideology and doesn’t respect democracy.

People taking this “freedom” approach are working backwards. They are looking at the restrictions as a threat to liberty instead of looking at why these restrictions are being imposed and seeing that they are needed because a virus doesn’t care if your political leanings, it infects you or it doesn’t based on your behaviour. Western democracy’s have suffered badly , a lot because of our Hubris (won’t come here), our behaviors (down with masks and that sort of stuff) and our fixation with our non essential luxuries (will somebody please think about the pubs).

Wearing a mask is not a huge sacrifice if it helps reduce the impact of the virus (it clearly does) but some people just do not want to understand this or maybe they can’t grasp the variables of this crisis or maybe they just can’t have their beliefs challenged. Maybe it’s partial denial (that there is an ongoing crisis unfolding) and maybe a bit of blissful ignorance (the less you know, the more you can belligerently complain about measures you don’t like).

I posted up a medical clip discussing how masks help on multiple levels That you chose you ignore. If you don’t understand why masks are helpful and important then you won’t understand why countries are taking such a strong stance against non compliance of wearing them.

There's a difference between thinking that masks are helpful and the heavy-handed authoritarian approach that's been taken. They could've convinced/propagandised 80-90% of people to wear masks and just left the other people be.

Instead you have headbanger Victoria police going around tackling people in Melbourne for not wearing a mask. (Notice that the guards here were too shrewd to alienate people and mostly increased their profile in the community even while having to police people far more heavily than usual.)

Of course I'm going to take a "freedom" approach if western democracies are borrowing tactics from tinpot communist countries in order to enforce their directives. What a terrible mishandling of the whole thing and if they had any kind of subtely or appreciation of the fact that they are not abolsute rulers they'd have cooled it down a bit.

The virus has no ideology blah blah blah. As if the only way to protect from a virus was to adopt the most rigid and provocative methods imaginable. And then supporters of authoritarianism (for a 'good cause') get annoyed at having it pointed out to them.

Contrary to what people think just the fact of some medical necessity isn't a blank cheque to do whatever you want. And even if it was, picking the most riling thing to do doesn't then become wise.

Healthcare workers, travel or cases under investigation.

I know there’s always cases they haven’t allocated but does that info get updated at a later date and can that info be found anywhere.

hynesie08

Has anybody done a breakdown of the numbers excluding the meat factory clusters? I'd be very interested in those numbers....

Apologies if this has been discussed before but has there been any discussion or investigation into cases that may or may not have arisen from the the increase of flights.

Moreover, we now know that the LOK total for tomorrow will be 12 cases or fewer:

https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/b9560-statement-from-the-national-public-health-emergency-team-tuesday-11-august/

The tests that led to the high reported numbers over the weekend must have been already tested or about to be tested by the time the announcement was made. Unless they think they can report another spike in positive test cases in the L-O-K counties later this week, it's hard to see the additional restrictions as having had or being able to have any effect at all (other than as a lesson for the rest of us). There's still two more weeks of limited movement for three counties, just to make sure.


So I'm ready to call them unnecessarily cautious as the virus seemingly hadn't slipped into widespread community transfer in the LOK. (As opposed to the original full lockdown when we didn't have the testing in place to even know how widespread it was going to get, and as we tested on with the restrictions in place, we did keep finding more.)

5 cases of community transmission reported today out of 35 cases overall.

That's the good news. While cases have increased the community transmission rate is low.

Mad stats

Was that 40% detected IgG/IgM antibodies?

Or does it include t-spot cmi testing?

In or around there is where the IFR seems to be settling. It is not frighteningly high by any means though it is not insignificant either for a very contagious disease.
The interesting things to look for in future proper research or even in lay person observation of reports in media are significant or prolonged sequelae and repeat infections. Of the latter I have not heard much and anecdotal here and theres is not worrisome. Of the former I await the passage of time.
