Why is it so complicated to daily find out the ages of those who passed?

Why are deaths in November and December getting reported in Feb?

Because family members reported the deaths to the registry office in february rather than immediately in November

So far confirmed deaths for the months

Jan - Confirmed from 11/01/2021 to 24/02/2021 = 1,215. If 01/01/2021 to 10/01/2021 included it's 1,332. HSE operations report ICU = 99.
Feb = 01/02/2021 to 24/02/2021 652. HSE operations report ICU = 93

NIMAN

On the news, they emphasised twice that a 16yr old died in today's stats.

But that in itself means absolutely nothing, without more data. This obviously wasn't a strapping 16yr old gaa player who died.

They must have had underlying conditions.

They may even have died of cancer but happened to have covid.

It was a still born from what I can gather and 4 of them. These could be denotifications yet as it doesn't seem to be a thing.

Shame on NPHET freaking out pregnant women today with nothing more than an unfounded theory at this stage.

drunkmonkey

Does anyone know if we are counting residual positives as Covid deaths on the numbers NPHET provide?

By that I mean someone who tested positive for Covid but may have died of a heart attack 3 weeks later for example.
We know people can't fly into the country long after they tested positive on a pcr test, https://www.irishtimes.com/news/health/irish-stranded-abroad-despite-full-recovery-from-covid-19-1.4486675

If you also look at Irelands recovered it's only 10% of cases, so it would be correct to assume the remaining 90% are classed as residual Covid.
