195000 population divided by 3961 cases as of yesterday is 49. So its 1 in 49 as posted above.

The 26 one could be using data based on asymptomatics to make an educated guess


Like a few days ago when it was reported that 1 in 5 got it in the UK

Sure 1 in 5 people from Limerick were in Thomond Park to see Munster beat the All-Blacks in 1978.
Some claim it was 1 in 3.

Second most attended event in Irish history.

The first being all the Dublin people who volunteered for the IRB in the Easter Rising

7,562 cases reported in Limerick since last march, population of 195,000 would equate to 1 in 25.79 (we can round it up to 26)

The figure of 1 in 50 refers just to the last 2 weeks

23,950 swabs done yesterday giving a 16.35% positivity but then again that is a 33% increase in the number of tests performed on Monday so we should expect the figure to rise. At least 3,856 cases today nationwide but then again I'm not even sure we still have any in the 17,000 backlog left to add onto that.

All figures from geohive

Some amount of ambulances i heard today

165 cases today, our daily numbers are dropping which is a good sign but doesn't tell the full story as we know

Its as full as story as possible. We seem to be doing better than other counties. No one is testing close contacts.

I would assume they were talking about the rising ICU numbers. Yes, the daily numbers are dropping but it seems to be hitting harder.

We did have the highest incidence outside of the border counties for a long while there but we seem to have calmed down lately

Looking at the national figure again It doesn't look like it has changed very much since yesterday, 3,854 nationally with now a positivity of 13.68% which is 3% lower than yesterday.

Wednesday there were 16.2% more tests performed so we tested more, found about the same which is the figure we need to have the media reporting which is 13.68%

So good news although the LL will likely put out a headline saying nothing is changing.

figures from geohive again

Yeah, it doesn't make the headlines, but the positivity rate is the most important number out of all that. As it drops then cases numbers will follow it.

Nursing homes in the City and County in really bad shape lots of deaths unfortunately since the turn of the year.

Damage is done now unfortunately I think very few nursing homes are without cases at the minute.

I can't imagine the trauma it's causing for the staff having to go through it.

Can you image the trauma of being a patient in a nursing home. The fear factor must be horrendous and those poor people have no way to escape it.

Of course I can't imagine it but thankfully some of the residents are not aware of what is going on due to dementia, Alzheimer's etc which is something for them at least

The incidence rates (as of January 11 for the six LEAs in Limerick are.

Adare/Rathkeale: 3,118 (864 new cases) [2,010.1 the previous week]
Newcastle West: 2,305.2 (632 new cases) [1,473.6 the previous week]
Limerick City West: 2,020 (705 new cases) [865.4 the previous week]
Limerick City East: 1,714.7 (606 new cases) [902.6 the previous week]
Limerick City North: 1,693.8 (588 new cases) [743.2 the previous week]

Cases are huge everywhere considering they are not testing close contacts, stay safe.

Not all of them - thankfully only a small amount of them are affected in this wave... One has to wonder how the virus is getting in though

Depends on the site but some care homes would have residents who were allowed out into town during level 3

DEATHS IN LIMERICK CITY AND COUNTY

01/12/2020 TO 15/01/2021 WAS 283


That's 13 LESS deaths over the last 6 weeks than over the exact same period last year.
Was there a Pandemic last year that nobody told us about.?

Have you anything useful to add.? Other than a barstool snide remark.

Like trying to explain why there are 13 less deaths in the last 6 weeks than over the corresponding period 12 months ago.
Maybe RIP.IE are telling blatant lies.!!

Did you consider that without the numerous lockdowns the numbers of deaths would be way higher?

The previous year had no lockdowns so you can't compare. There are a lot of factors to take into consideration for example more people out and about so more deaths from car accidents, pedestrians being knocked down, drowning etc...

The only true way you could compare years like for like was if the country went about its business as normal since last year. You aren't comparing like for like in this situation.

If anything you are proving the lockdowns have worked and kept the deaths similar to the previous year.

Was in Mr Price in Annacotty earlier. 3 staff members with no masks on at the tills and 2 on the floor with the masks barely above their mouths. WTF goes through these people's minds that they think this is acceptable!

My experience of that store is, staff from poorer socio-economic areas...who are more likely to see anti-mask stuff on FB as well as other misinformation about the virus...like my mother, whose FB feed is genuinely scary, they stuff he gets targeted with

Death notices are not valid for statistics. Covid is a fact, please take this elsewhere. Any further Covid denial from you hear will result in a threadban. Others take note please.

A better measure world be the 390,000 extra deaths in the United States by comparison to least year where lockdowns aren't really happening and the 25 deaths in New Zealand where lockdowns were quick and severe

That's fair

Just to add, if you have a problem with a post report it or debate the post, under no circumstances should you attack the poster.

Correct RIP.IE doesn't list all deaths, there have been a few occasions I've search it looking for funeral information and none has been present, particularly during Covid.

The numbers in Limerick city don't really support your little poor people comment.

I got hounded by the anti mask people passing their little protest a few months back and all the accents were of the middle class Limerick variety but both my story and yours are both anecdotal so best stick to the numbers
