Yes correct. And 1753 (so far) have been killed by covid. About 92.5% more than killed on Irish roads in the entirety of last year... and, it’s only July.

Died with covid not killed of it. There's a big difference. Varadkar told us this but no one seems to care ?

He is not the first to say that ventilation was not helping Covid patients . Many reports are coming in that anti viral and Vit D plus zinc is an effective treatment in many Covid patients who are very ill

Got cortisone in my knee once and I have no fears of the needle but JAYSUSSSS that thing would put manners on a bull.

If we can find a combination of medicines to get the fatality rate down to something like the flu and take the fear out of this disease it is what's going to beat it and give more time to the vaccine.

Ministers want to book their holidays before the mad rush pushes the prices up.

If things couldn't get any better, I know its the Mirror but FFS! We're apparently due a plague of flying ants in a fortnight.

We have a colony of them living under our house so I have to say I'm glad it won't just be us now

Only joking, more of them are the last thing we need. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. They are very ingenuitive and can get in through grouting and up the drains. Absolute nightmare.

One in four people saying they may travel abroad this year sounds to me like a high figure.

Anyone know what the testing turnaround is like and where they are testing in Dublin city centre?

In all my years I never knew that flying ants arrived in swarms ? Every year they come out of the cracks in the concrete and annoy everyone for a day or two then dissapper again ? I thought they lived under the paths and grew wings and come out to piss everyone off for s day ?

17 residents in my grandmother’s nursing home caught it, including her 95 year old self.. She was asymptomatic bar a short temperature (hours). None went to hospital afaik. All given anticoagulants prophylactially as they knew it caused blood clots. Five passed away, all of whom had breathing issues and were on oxygen beforehand.

Anyone see all these Facebook pictures of the beach's in clare today, people looking for a reaction. The comments are a lot different from a month or so back. At least 50% are saying its outside, great to see people enjoying themselves, most are social distancing, calm the **** down. We were told to staycation but some people still have an issue with this.

Yes, a very busy weekend in west Clare with large crowds around. A lot of staycationers but also plenty of foreign tourists. The key thing is that most pubs and restaurants did their best to control things. Of course a small few pubs let things go and full non social distance piss ups were had but these seemed to be a small minority of establishments.

Japan closed their karaoke bars when the first infections appeared.
The official reason was that loud voices spread the virus much like coughing.
But as I said before, the real reason could just be that the person making the decision was a music lover.

I'll believe it when I see it being utilised by other doctors, other hospitals, and in other countries. Seen literally dozens of identical claims by international doctors in recent months about some wonder cure that for some reason is never implemented across the world,then complete silence and you never heard a word about it again. Which is odd and would be wasteful if it's as effective and foolproof as claimed, which makes me think they usually aren't!

Whatever you think of US politics and their health system, they also have some of the best medics in the world. Doctors from China to Italy to Spain to Ireland to the US are sharing experiences (networks developed in real life conferences) on what has been effective in treating the symptoms of the virus. This is not a cure but it may well be the next best thing - and some of these drugs have already been highlighted as effective so the fact that there is a cocktail of drugs that is having some results is encouraging.

8 people under 65 have died from covid in Ireland.

This is becoming more hysterical by the day.

That's not true, I can't find an updated one for June or July butby 15th May 17 people under 44 had died of covid in Ireland
https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/br/b-cdc/covid-19deathsandcases/

And overall by that date 1500 people in Ireland had died of COVID, 8% of those deaths were under 65, that is 120 covid deaths under 65 in Ireland as of 15th May,so it is more by now presumably and if the ratio has stayed the same about 140 deaths under 65.

Wheres your source? I understand your point, and agree to an extent the effect on younger people has been sensationalised, but best not to exaggerate it with made up figures.

You do realise that there are a lot of “foreign” people living in this country that would consider a weekend in Clare a staycation.

This statement is false.

See table 5.

108 people under 65 have died.


I have sent you a DM, to make sure you see the correct figure.

8% of the total deaths from Covid have been in the under 65's, which means over a hundred people.

Not 8 in total.

It's not hard to try to know the facts.

It never had the chance to run rampant throughout society. It didn't filter down to the majority of the population. We are are not the fittest nation. There's loads of smokers, druggies, people with obesity and other health problems like diabetes etc.

A lot more people would have died if it was allowed to run rampant throughout the population. The hospital system would have collapsed and a lot more people would die.

So if your under 65 you roughly have the same chance of being killed in a road accident in ireland as you do by covid. By the end of year the chances of being killed in a road accident will probably be much higher.

Not sure about RTA death rates per year but this isn't the way the virus works. As others have said, there's only been this amount of deaths because of the severe restrictions put in place. Otherwise there would have been significantly more.

I agree there is sensationalism at every turn in the media. The reality, for me, is somewhere in between. Be vigilant, wash your hand, follow the advice. Think about the repercussions for others. I'm relatively young, fit and healthy but it doesn't mean I should go around wrecklessly doing what I want.

No no no. You're doing this wrong. Pick a side and bunker down.

HSE report out for the evening, hospitals up 3 to 12, with Galway Sligo and Portlaoise seeing admissions. ICU up 1 to 8 patients, with those on ventilators going from 3 to 5. No ICU deaths in 24hrs.

3 new cases confirmed in hospitals, two in portlaoise and one in Galway.

Looks like this report shows that icu and general numbers are separate and one isn’t a subset of the other, as portlaoise had 2 confirmed cases, and they one in general and one in ICU.

Thats a low increase.
