Did not account for denotifications as do not know to which dates these denotifications apply.

Thanks for working that out

Hmmm, we're doing good but not great once you see it laid out like that

Our weekly average is 10 cases higher than it was 6 weeks ago, and we haven't fully re-opened up yet

6 weeks ago was the beginning of June, we had not even reopened anything properly at that stage. We're 2 stages beyond that.

Headline: Leo says there may be a third and fourth wave of the coronavirus.

Story: there might be a second wave, the third wave is people dying as a consequence of the health service being interrupted and the fourth wave is people dying as a result of the economic fallout.

How many will just read the headline?

Thanks but that’s confusing terminology referring to second order and third order consequences as “waves” is not right in this context.

There should be no doubt that a wave in the context of a pandemic refers to a “wave of infection” whether measured by new cases or deaths.

The 3rd and 4th order effects can occur with any subsequent wave of infection.

Hopefully there are no subsequent waves of infections.

Why is Leo exclusively acting like he is in opposition and not at the front seat of the government?

Lol I misread it. In the article it sounded like it was new hospitalisation that day by the way it's worded

'About 59,600 people were hospitalized with Covid-19 in the US on Wednesday -- roughly 300 short of the country's peak recorded in mid-April, according to the Covid Tracking Project.'

If it is the case then it is not a particularly shocking statistic.

Well if the hospitalised prognosis is the same as mid April expect the daily death toll to double over the next few weeks.

Its not bad, considering how much more opened up we are and it doesn't seem to be rising, so not bad at all.

I got a call off a person out of breath and didn’t know what to tell them as they aren’t registered with GP. Only in the country a couple of months.

I know you are not supposed to rock up in hospital.
Ambulance seems like only option at this stage on Friday.

I was worried for them as with covid and being over weight you might not realise oxygen rate could be depleted and you don’t even know.

Anyway 999 will deal with it.

Thanks to those who genuinely responded

Person got to see a doc at 8pm.
Got referred to and in hospital for CT scan and further checks.

Or to flip the headline on its head. '4 in 5 young people return to their normal health after 2-3 weeks with the illness'

On the other hand the risk of serious illness from Covid 19 will be a multiple of the eventual death rate.

It's pretty logical to be afraid of getting a 'death's door' type of lung infection, even though you may eventually recover.

New study from China. it followed a group of symptomatic patients over six months. It shows that while antibodies went through an intermediate contraction phase they did stabilise and retain high levels over the entirety of the observational period.

It suggests that other studies may have made the mistake of basing long term trends solely on the contraction phase.

Seems to bode well for long term immunity.

Confirmation: There have been cases confirmed in the past few weeks that aren't even from the last 6 weeks.

Clare and Offaly have had confirmed cases in the past two weeks yet haven't had any new ones according to the CSO.

So last week they reported double the actual number of cases!

How the hell can they be having all these historic cases - making it look like the virus is spreading more than it is

gipi

Louth have had cases reported in recent weeks too (currently 6 days without a case) - on that chart there hasn't been a case since May?

Lots of zeroes and blanks on that chart - wonder if it's correct?

This is from the CSO so I'd say it has to be accurate, blanks = <5

Intensive care admissions by those infected with COVID-19 have twice the corrected mortality of patients presenting with non-COVID-19 viral pneumonia.

Hmmm not good

Funny how they found these cases just before stage 4

If I go back to April, the reduction in case numbers is dramatic. April had the following numbers

Friday April 3rd to Thursday April 9th = 3600
Friday April 10th to Thursday April 16th = 5891
Friday April 17th to Thursday April 23rd = 4154
Friday April 24th to Thursday April 30th = 2649

Slightly different reporting time frames over that period and delays in testing and results so cases notified in each week may not account for actual cases becoming symptomatic or diagnosed in that week but this still gives an idea of scale of cases now compared to three months ago.

Funny indeed.. it’s hard not to think that these were found/delayed so that we wouldn’t move into phase 4. Some days getting 3 cases etc but possible that those numbers were higher and held off until first week in July...
I sound like a conspiracy theorist

KrustyUCC

So do I lol

I hope this goes viral(don’t mind the pun)

It needs to be explained why historical cases were added in the last two weeks.

This is happening due to ongoing data validation. A case that has originally been counted in Limerick statistics for example may be reassigned to Clare. It looks like a new case (plus one or an increase in number by one) in the daily statements from NPHET but it is not a newly diagnosed or newly reported case but ‘moved’ from one county to another.

Hospitals don’t necessarily follow county borders for their catchment areas and people can go to GPs in another county too so takes a while to figure out whichever county case belongs to.

If you had the figures behind the zeros you'd know better, As it stands it's pointless data with 0= <5.

No more pointless than a daily confirmed cases total that is not accurately reflecting the past 24 hours, yet is headline news everyday!
