Funny how he always gets abuse for just republishing HSPC and HSE data on this thread.

Amazing how that has now been twisted in misleading data. Fairplay to you. Very perculiar mindset.

that's not why people are arguing with him.

Surge planning for COVID is done through the maintenance departments at hospitals (of which a relative of mine leads), using sub-contractors. I can name companies who have provided equipment and framework over PM if you wish, it would be inappropriate to do so here.

No need to name them, I'm well aware of the consultants brought in and the process involved in hospital bed planning. Sláintecare has changed the face of all that you may know in relation to bed planning. I'd suggest having a word with your relative, as your view on things are a bit dated.

Yeah exactly. I’d say low number today, some announcement about further measures later etc then tomorrow ....
Bam ! Big number.

Everyone then goes, ‘wow They were so right so have done x’
‘What fine leaders we have’

While no one cares to notice the data published is two days old.

Looks like you're on the ball

We should be see the real results of sick people in the hospital in 3-4 weeks. A few weeks ago we had approx 16 a day. Now that's x10.

20% are community transmission.

That’s 1 in 5 people have no idea how they got it.

Don’t think so. The demographic of people getting infected is different and many won’t require hospital treatment

Where are the 18 in the mushroom factory? They were known about yesterday evening but not in yesterday’s figures and not in today’s.

I said the constant down playing is pissing me off, not you.

Are you attacking me here saying I am not working in a hospital? What are you saying?
If so why should anybody believe your claim of coming from a family of hospital workers?
I have never been rude to you, don't be rude to me.
Yes, I don't like the way you are trying to use facts and figures freely available to bolster your, often overly positive opinion.
This was not an issue for me when we had few cases in the last few months, but I am disappointed in the lack of realism lately.
I support many sides of this debate, including your posts usually, but I disagree with your opinion today.
We are both entitled to our opinions and, it is up to other posters here to decide which of us is speaking from a basis of fact, generally known and available on gov.ie, and which is speaking from experience, gained from over 40 years in the Irish health service.

Thanks ACE... do they follow up with county breakdown numbers for that 17?

Nobody dying anymore which is great. I'd love to be able to see the hospitalizations and deaths data from 3 weeks time.

If there's no change, something is happening with this virus.

He's just a thanks whore like yourself, looking for the popular angle.

That bar had everybody up in arms, that's why your politicians were straight in to condemn it.

Then you have this guy coming on to berate the politicians for giving out about it and not other stuff.

Thanks whoring all around.

Don't get me wrong politicians deserve to be castigated over this, both FG and the whole current government. I just don't see how thanks whoring is going to help anybody.

Being held back I'd say. From what I can tell the numbers being held back are primarily from clusters.

Mask wearing is primarily for the protection of others, not the wearer.

Sorry Dave, didn’t know you graduated primary school. Fair play.

Well seen as though you are so advanced, what’s 12/56?

Is that not a big percentage? Is it a ‘good’ percentage?

I don’t understand why they do that. It makes them seem untrustworthy because I know today’s figure is false, so what else is false?

Based on a Glynn comment the weekend before last I think it's to allow the contact tracing to be completed to see if more cases come out of it.

This has only started in the last few weeks, for a while daily positive tests = positive cases, not anymore.

They can manipulate the numbers in order to justify their actions. The vast majority of people are sheep and see no further than the headline so doing this suits them.

Reporting of full clusters?

This craic of not releasing figures to match the positive tests is a bit baffling.

What's the goal there? If we have the data, surely the big wigs do.

Would love to be a fly on the wall in there sometimes, the case figures seem to be a spin mechanism for them.
