    Any news as to when the vaccine registration system will open to the 40 - 44 group? 45's are registering today but there seems to be no info for tomorrow onwards.

    The hospital numbers have been creeping up since the hack! There was 99 in hospitals on the 13th of May. The lack of physical data since...... I don’t know why they’ve stagnated. I was expecting a slow down In discharges but not this slow or stagnant

    There'll be a decent drop at the 8pm tonight you'd think, but would've hoped they'd be lower at this point.

    Not sure of the wisdom of this at all!
    An Indian couple reportedly chartered a plane and held a mid-air wedding with more than 160 guests in an effort to escape coronavirus restrictions.

    Still below NPHETs best case scenario.

    It's Monday you'd expect a decent drop tonight but those numbers are unavailable nightly

    The HSE IT systems are still down, we can’t even report confirmed cases atm, only positive swabs. It’s not a conspiracy.

    When do people think that mass testing for covid will stop? Will it go on for years? Heading into next winter will any person that presents with a sore throat or sniffle be automatically sent for a covid test?

    The data may well not be accurate. It is probably based on ringing up the various hospitals and asking them, rather than being based on what's on a system.

    Anyway, our case numbers have been at the same level for a good few weeks now, so you'd expect hospital numbers to level off.

    Just checking RTE website it has daily case numbers and hospital numbers . Doesn't mention anything about deaths though which is strange

    According to this the number for 13 May was 111

    That's been the case since the ransomware attack.

    Míchéal Martin was so weak in his interview with Claire Byrne this morning, who suggested in her line of questioning that we should reintroduce mandatory quarantine from the U.K., forget about indoor dining for the summer, stop reopening society basically. Pathetic yet again from Byrne. Even Pat Kenny is better than her at this stage.

    The lack of assertiveness from government when it comes to dealing with questions from the likes of Byrne is part of the reason for mixed messaging and general vagueness over the last 15 months imo.

    There tends to be a 7-10 day gap between each group. Also, it was done in 10-year-groupings i.e. 50-59, 60-69, so not sure if they'll now do 40-44, then the same gap, then 35-39, etc..

    We were told a couple of weeks ago that every age group would know when we would be able to register but it seems the ransomware attack has them moving slower/more cautiously.

    I can understand it from Pat. He's in an at risk age group so would be feeling the fear of covid (similar to Eamon Dunphy). But Claire Byrne I just don't get at all.

    No, once a week on a Friday afternoon, around 2-3pm.

    Thankfully they have disappeared to almost irrelevance. They should never have been given that platform. My Dad was in a big panic last week after Holohan's comments about "dark clouds" re: Indian variant etc. Said it will all be bad here again and that the vaccines don't work etc.

    At this stage they (NPHET) should just send official letters to the Dept. of Health and let the government make their own (probably useless) decisions.
