Leitrim best in class overall. Gold stars all round.

The only county in the Republic that shares a border with Donegal as well which makes it all the more remarkable ha.

Journalists have consistently shown no understanding of the backlog/reporting delays, so I wouldn't count on that tweet being true at all.

They even got it wrong when we were building up a backlog of thousands

Yep, a few journalists back in January told us that the backlog was cleared but we could see from the swab data that it wasn't. The only thing I trust on this stuff is the actual swab data, not what NPHET say and definitely not what journalists report. Pity we don't have the data today, hope they fix it tomorrow

There's a difference of meaning between a backlog.
When we reference a backlog here, we mean the difference between swabs and cases. If there was 200 swabs today and 100 cases and the next day, 200 swabs and 300 cases, we'd say there was a backlog of 100 cases.

When NPHET reference a backlog, they mean swabs taken and not reported within 72hrs. Then cleared the meaning up with the Christmas backlog explaination. Normally they would report 80% of swabs within 24hrs as cases and 20% within 72hrs.

When the swab data is updated, no doubt it will be what we call a backlog, but not what NPHET call a backlog.

Yet large swathes of the country have >5 cases excluding Dublin and other countries on the East coast. Our second most populous city only has 16 cases a day. I cannot see at all how the levels of restrictions are fair, and to say they are drifting upwards when its been the same 5/6 counties for the last two weeks + pretty much is annoying.

https://twitter.com/newschambers/status/1374060281509376000/photo/1

Sure this can all change very quickly and cases can explode anywhere quickly, but mentioning a drift upwards and not mentioning the particular counties of concern isn't great. Now I am not anti-restriction/lockdown at all, and follow all of them but there needs to be more focus on the counties of concern then pinning everybody under one bus.

caveat emptor

You can see the seven day in most age groups ticking up. Hopefully it reverses again and cases come down.

He's hit or miss on his hear say info. Before yesterdays reported case number we had a potentially 333 from positive swabs not reported into cases.

Can someone clarify hospital cases? Is it 359 altogether in hospital? Or is it 359 in hospital and an extra 81 in ICU? Stupid question I know!

GoldenGirl or Spookwoman when they're online will answer that best for you

This bit really stands out in today's stats

79% of today's cases were under the age of 45

I know we're seeing some in this age group end up in hospital, but I think if this trend continues then the hospital case numbers by June 1st will be circa 50 or less

June 1st sounds like miles away, but it's only really about 9 weeks

The problem is if the under 45's spread it to the over 45s, especially the 55+ age groups

Timmy O Toole

What percentage of our population is under 45?

CruelSummer

I think the NPHET press conference should focus solely on data, trends, variants, vaccines, etc. Let the Government, cabinet sub committee and cabinet decide re restrictions or else join this conference also once a week.

Is that 359 covid cases in hospital or 359 including x amount of covid cases?

And I think it's there. June 1st really isn't that far away considering how fast the weeks are going with our current Groundhog Day living

We really are in a race of jabs in arms for the over 55s versus apathy setting in/schools open/other factors

Should only expect about 9 of those 411 will need hospital treatment.

stephenjmcd

Finally some clarity on outbreaks regionally

Either close the schools or shut up about cases going upwards cause you can't have both, quite frankly I doubt anyone even cares if it hits a thousand cases a day at this point, they've no plan so fuk em

I don't necessarily disagree but the gaslighting is a bit much. We haven't heard from Donnelly, the egotistical reprobate or Martin, the bumbling idiot in weeks yet Glynn is speaking to us twice/three times a week.

They're hiding in the corner.

I may have some sympathy for the members of NPHET if they were just doing the press briefings but the have put themselves forward for TV and radio interviews. Havent glynn, nolan and houlihan appeared on the late late show.

They can avoid these TV radio appearances if they wanted to but it appears they are happy to do these interviews.

Ronan Glynn just repeated the phrase "a new virus" when referring to B117 - knowing full well he is misleading the public.

Shameful.

Yes, a race is what it feels like. We can actually handle a reproductive rate of a bit above 1 for a couple of months if we keep going with the vaccines.

For example, 8 weeks of cases growing at 20% per week would bring us to 2500 cases per day in 8 weeks time. That's perfectly livable with, as all of the old and vulnerable will be vaccinated by that stage. Mind you, I can't really see NPHET advising "ah yeah, cases are going up lots every week, but, sure it's grand".
