Much lower in Asia were the death and hospitalization rate has been lower than any Western Country. Food consumption needs to be addressed in this country. We have become too comfortable with people in an unhealthy state.
Anyway I am getting a little off topic

Drink adds to the obesity problem a good bit too, on top of food.

And yet the Government that spent years neglecting the upgrade of our healthcare system still gets unwavering support from the citizens of Ireland. Anyone who still supports FFG at this stage are devoid of a basic level of intellect.

The problem is, the opposition is also direly weak.

Nphet trying to compare today's 5 day average with last year even though we are testing 3 times more people now and less in hospital.

No gyms or ability to exercise outside of 5k also adds to it

This seems like a political reaction to groups campaigning to be prioritized. Doesn't make sense on public health basis when there is different risks in specific jobs. https://twitter.com/gavreilly/status/1376904289868742662?s=19

Yet if we look at the jobs that are actually seeing huge outbreaks and clusters like meat plants they wont even get a mention compared to Guards, Teachers ect....

No, 80% of people are not obese/overweight in any country

Not far off it in Ireland, 66% of men were in a 2019 study. Probably more now after the last year of so many people having their usual leisure activities seriously disrupted.

Based on the numbers we have seen I would estimate there have been 7-800k cases in the country.

Below is chart showing how I estimated - assumed global studies showing an IFR of c.0.6% are accurate and also that deaths occur on average 20 days after case confirmed - therefore only brings data up to 20 days ago.

You can see the massive gap in wave 1 where we were not testing, for wave 2 there is not much between the estimated and actual figures which may indicate very good detection, but death rates at this time were low, meaning the accuracy of the estimate would have been lower. You can also see the gap between the actual and estimate increased when we stopped testing contacts but has since reduced.

Raind is it possible to estimate from the graph how many aprrox. do you think were missed in the march/ april wave...thanks

I posted this in the other thread yesterday (well, this morning at 2am, couldn't sleep)

On the week leading to May 19th (13-19):
932 positive swabs
36818 swabs in total
2.5% 7 days positivity rate
786 new cases confirmed (1009 actually, but on the 14th of May 223 extra cases where added that were not notified before)
81 deaths
56 people in ICU (up to the 16th, it’s a pain to find historical data)
688 people in hospital - 390 confirmed, 298 suspected (lot less tests going on)
No vaccines (of course)

This week (24-30):
4,249 positive swabs
125,846 swabs in total
3.4% 7 days positivity rate
4,065 new cases confirmed
81 deaths
70 people in ICU
331 people in hospital
~800k vaccines

(this doesn't include today amazing numbers)

No intercounty travel until July according to Daniel McConnell of the Examiner on The Last Word with Matt Cooper just now.

Madness.

Edit: He's tweeted it now.

I wouldn't pay much attention to it to be honest.

They looked at April and May. Anything after that was said to have been put down for discussion in May and no dates or timings given. Some journalists saying there were words exchanged on the subject but nothing more.

Personally I think they've given more of a plan today than I thought they would. Anything past May is still highly subject to change based on multiple indicators, vacinations etc

Unless things go badly wrong, intercounty should be well back before July. Would assume it'll be up for discussion in the June easing

The examiner have taken a rather strange editorial line of late on covid, quite divergent imo to the rest of the media.

Intercounty travel will resume before July unless there is a major, catastrophic setback with vaccination.

Daniel McConnell is excellently well connected though and is usually one of the first to publish leaks

He wasn't editorialising. He was reporting what he had been told about the cabinet meeting this afternoon. He always gets the leaks.

This "after risk" only applies to some people. Most would go play a game and go home, alone so the activity does not inevitably lead to another activity.

Others will continue to break them regardless.

Its such a nonsense excuse to stop outdoor team sports.

Exactly...90% of matches I play I go home, the other 10% it's to the pub. It's absolutly shocking if that's the reason they are banned.

Regardless of if you are for or against needing a continued lockdown, I assume everyone agrees that its absolutely pathetic that these are always leaked to the press before bring officially announcements? Surely the amount of leaks are something that should be a concern?
