Links between different IT systems can always fall down.
As a software developer, I can say that I'm happy that any of it works at all!

Knowing how some of the HSE IT systems work myself I'm surprised that their still standing.

Whoever designed their network just wasn't bothered doing it right.

Maybe, but then we'd have 0 cases today and x hundred tomorrow - people would go crazy. Now it's slightly less wrong if they're missing 1/3 of the cases. Worst case scenario would have been not to mention the "glitch" at all.

We have many times added in cases from previous weeks and regularly denotify cases included in previous days "confirmed" cases. Every days case numbers seem to be skewed by something, could they not have just put another 100 on todays figure and adjust as necessary later? It would be no less accurate than what we get anyway.

I think we have been well served by the NPHET team, I don't understand the hostility towards them.

I suspect the family of those that died in nursing homes through the incompetence of Nphet and various other bodies may disagree with you.

Is that the hospital staff themselves or just patients admitted after the big school clusters

Vit C megadose.... posted here months ago about it and even a photo of the cargo containers being shipped in on trucks full of ascorbic acid to the city of orgin at the start of the year.
Cross tthe fingers ...a game changer not just for covid. Off to find the research papers they mention unless anyone else wants to do it.

ps also posted sonewhere here a l8nk to an earlier trial where all the patients that ended up in Icu had near zero levels when tested.

Surely an outbreak in the hospital refers to those who picked the virus up in the hospital, be they staff or patients. Woundnt make sense to include people who have the virus already and then ended up in hospital.

Sweet, between the couple of oranges I eat daily and my vitamin d pills I should be in good shape if I happened to contract it.

A decent backlog is needed to coincide with the gastro pubs & restaurants re-opening tomorrow. Intimidate more people into staying at home.

When do you think they are planning to release this big deluge of numbers?

Well it or supplements would give you a good base line possibly for a milder case but we are talking mega doses if in ICU. Just counted I have 90 odd oranges in the house and some lemons but at less a thousand or so short for a megadose
Folks do not try this at home with that much oranges you would explode.

I see Paul Reid is calling hugging an 'extreme risk' (RTE).

Can see it being potentially risky to an extent, but a quick hug doesn't seem to be up there with spending a significant amount of time with somebody in the same place?

I guess you are not familiar inverse-squared laws.

Your body excreets excess Vitamin C anyway so I don't see the point of megadoses.

Red and green peppers, broccoli and the good ole spud are another great source.

Any details on the nature of the 'IT Glitch'?

Smart move I think.

Even my friend who owns a restuarant said he doesn't expect many takers over the next couple of months, probably a bit right before Christmas. He said he wouldn't be near a restaurant himself if it wasn't his business.

Seems par for the course where the Hse and operating systems are concerned.

Also that IT glitch is timed ideally to scare the public with a big number tomorrow to coincide with the opening of pubs and restaurants.

Well if you're correct about the "mood of the nation" then you've just proved his point.

If they are so nefarious why did they even tell us about the IT glitch in the first place?

Interesting. Deeper and deeper we go.

The mega doses are an ICU treatment hence my warning not to bother trying at home. Good to get a good baseline if deficent. Thanks for the rest of the list had forgotten about the humble spud.

US saw deaths reach over 3,000 yesterday (3,157) for the first time.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/03/us-logs-a-record-3157-coronavirus-deaths-in-one-day

The US recorded its highest daily number of coronavirus deaths on Wednesday, as the number of people admitted to hospital with Covid exceeded 100,000 for the first time since the pandemic began.

According to the Johns Hopkins University tracker, 3,157 new deaths were recorded on Wednesday, more than the number of people killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The previous high was the 2,607 deaths recorded on 15 April, at the beginning of the pandemic.

There were 200,070 new cases on Wednesday, only the second time that new cases had exceeded 200,000. With the total caseload now standing at 13,911,728, the US is expected to record its 14-millionth case on Thursday, and experts predict the death toll could reach nearly 450,000 by the end of February.

The deaths, cases and hospitalizations showed a country slipping deeper into crisis, with perhaps the worst yet to come, in part because of the delayed effects from Thanksgiving last week, when millions of Americans disregarded warnings to stay home and celebrate only with members of their household.

Across the US, the surge has swamped hospitals and left nurses and other healthcare workers shorthanded and burned out.

“The reality is December and January and February are going to be rough times. I actually believe they are going to be the most difficult time in the public health history of this nation,” Dr Robert Redfield, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said on Wednesday.
