    High risk due to the widespread effect of an outbreak going across many counties if not detected, you also have 19/20 year olds with possibly their first time living away from home and they understandably are going to break out, restrictions will not apply

    Not seeking a row but what's you solution, place the lives of every college eligible young person on hold? As I already stated online learning is not an option for everyone nor is it desirable or particle in many instances.

    Because two viruses at the same time are not good for you? What sort of a question is that

    Have you actually read the report you linked to? There is a vast difference between saying that, in a small number of very rare cases, COVID might be responsible for an inflammatory condition versus evidence that COVID is worse for children than other infectious diseases. I’m genuinely not sure if you are reading my posts in full, or just reading one word and responding to that.

    I have read it and discussed it on this forum months ago.
    I work in the area and know what the effects are .
    I have read all your posts and replied as well as I can .
    But I do think you are not open to the fact that I have provided evidence which disproves your statement that Covid affects children LESS than other infectious diseases.
    There are numerous complications with other infectious diseases eg encephalitis with measles , but the variety of severe effects that Covid has been found to have for some children , even in the short space of time we know about it , has paediatricians very worried .
    Especially as the general attitude is , that as it doesn't kill them , or they may have a milder infection , that it us of they get infected .
    It is not .
    That is why NPHET didn't open creches and schools until they absolutely had to .

    Deaths were not mentioned .

    As it happens unfortunately children HAVE died in other countries .
    We have had 48 under 15 hospitalised , 3 in ICU , but thankfully no deaths .
    There has been a 19 year old who died with no underlying conditions.
    There are also children in Ireland still sick with long term Covid.

    We have had one death in the under 24’s according to the HPSC. She sadly was receiving end of life care in a hospice and caught Covid. Her brother gave an interview to the Indo I think it was. She died of cancer but is marked as a Covid death.

    Are we actually suggesting that Covid is dangerous to young people... despite only having 1 death under 25.

    Interestingly when my cousin and husband got the virus their 2 little kids didn’t even catch it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,111 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    It says the majority of details remain unknown.
    There's no conclusion made.

    Yes..but the previous phrase...
    increasing numbers of cases reported and case series...

    Of course it is inconclusive, everything about this is as yet , doesn't mean you disregard current evidence .
    Is that what they teach you now in UCC ?

    But you said they are as harmless as each other ..why would you say that when you know it's not true ?


  • Posts: 4,727 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    From some of the posts on here, I am guessing we should close ALL schools and crèches? At least until a while after everyone has taken the vaccine.

    Bubble wrap until they are 18 if no vaccine.

    I understand that there are no deaths but it’s just too risky.

    That's not the case recorded .

    Look I won't say anymore here , on an internet forum , for some here to skit at . We are talking about someone's child here .

    COVID is 99% harmless for kids.
    If kids get a regular cold and the flu at the same they're going to be sick, that's kinda how this whole illness thing works

    Good that you don't need to worry about earning a living and can just afford to hide under your bed for months.

    Sadly most of us have to work for a living ...

    I thought the death in under 25 age group was in Mayo - Sally Maaz aged 17. Had a congenital heart defect. She was not in hospice.

    You are wasting your time sadly. She is not open to any information that challenges her pre determined opinion.

    You do realise that was referring to the HSE reply? That has literally got nothing to do with Martina. Shows you didn't even read the conversation.

    Nobody has to undermine Public Health, NPHET does that daily!

    Glynn and Nolan earlier with their favourite classic "the next 10 days are critical", do me a favour! They've been saying that since March we're 7 months in ffs! And it's probably been here even longer.

    What about day 11? They have no credibility or plan. What happened to living with Covid?
    There may never be a widespread vaccine, why are they pretending it's coming anytime soon?

    He was questioning her ability to do her job. He was rude and condescending to her and treating her like she didn't know what she was on about. It's her job to run these test, whats his qualifications in the field and has he actually ever worked in these labs running pcr tests?

    You cant find whats not there.
    I could take a swab from you and amplify it til the cows come home, its not going to be positve if theres no viral RNA in the sample (unless contaminated).

    We're splitting hairs here really.
    If someone gets a pos result they likely either have or had been infected with Covid.

    So why take a risk of infecting others. Isolate for 2 weeks and be safe.
    Regardless of all the statistical crap."
    His reply was

    Are you familiar with using the assay that the NVRL uses? If not then we're just as clueless as each other, to be fair.
