What good will this do?

It will keep the economy open and protect jobs.
It will tell NPHET you cannot lock subjugate us any more.
It will bring the official case numbers down if the tests a blocked up.

Official as opposed to actual? Head in sand much?

The infection fatality rate according to many studies internationally is about .3%. that is much lower than many thought at the outbreak of this virus. IFR in those under 70 is very much lower. If just under 1900 people have died in Ireland then the overall level of infection in Ireland must be much higher than 50,000, maybe under reported by a factor of 10.

It is not 0.3% in every country, it will be lower than that in many countries. In sub saharan africa it is lower than 0.1% as most Africans are children. It is a lot higher in a western country, or any country with an aged population, obviously, 0.3% of New York's population died of covid. Obviously not everyone in New York was infected, so it's a lot higher than that. New York also has a much younger population than most of Europe .

So the mortality rate is 5% that of its peak in early lockdown March and we are doing 5x the testing and yet we are locking down the country.

Sweden has a steady mortality rate of 2-3 per day and it has minimal restrictions.

I seen an article in the paper that one lad flew back and infected 56 people. It went on to say the went partying, played football matches congregated as usual....it didnt mention any of them being bed ridden and dying in the streets or being rushed to ICU.

Six deaths on the 16th oct in Sweden.

We know the actuals are a lot higher anyway. Most people don't even know they have the Virus.

And so begins another game of whack-a-mole, total BS.

This virus is going to clean up at the next academy awards for most overly dramatic performance.

And the fact that the cfr rate now matches the flu and has been consistently decreasing on the trailing average

From a BBC article about the lockdown

Although Ireland has recorded its record highest number of daily cases over the last few weeks, it's still lower than many countries in Europe.

Hospitalisations have been rising, but they're not at the level seen earlier in the year and again while deaths are slowly rising, they're nowhere near what they were at the peak.


So I ask how is this lockdown really going to benefit us this time? I thought we were supposed to be at the stage of living with the virus. Another lockdown is not living with the virus. Total and utter BS

It is an average over many countries, many western European countries are around that number. Japan has an older population with 87,615 confirmed infections but only 1674 deaths, much lower death rate than Ireland.

But how is pretending that the actuals are lower again going to help?

Most people in the country have enough strength to beat this virus.

Don't forget half our deaths on Wave 1 where in residential homes. Let's be blunt, the people in there are usually very old and frail.

If you prevent those deaths this time round, the death figures will look a lot less scary. In fact our fatality numbers have been very low throughout Wave 2.

This is basically the flu.

they are not pretending, in the first wave they had no idea of how many had the virus, today's figure is more accurate maybe but still an underestimate.

It is impossible to know how many infections there are with so many A symptomatic unless you test everyone.

No its death rate is 10 times that of the flu.

And there are severe complications for those who recover that are long term.

I was responding to the suggestion that people just don't show up for tests so that the official number will be brought down. It's a bit like putting your hands over your ears.

You are basically wrong.

How are they going to tackle the open border with the north?

No point us being at Level 5 if the north is at the equivalent of a level 2.5 and they are allowed to drive across.

There is one hope - if people stop going for swabs. Stop feeding the machine.

The hyper-testing has to stop.

Contact tracing should be scrapped—it's not suitable for a contagious, widespread and relatively mild virus like sars-cov-2.

Testing should be mostly confined to staff of and patients/residents of hospitals/nursing homes.

A "Covid case" should be defined as someone hospitalised beacause of Covid or very ill, not someone who has a positive PCR test.

Fatality rate will steadily rise over time as healthcare personnel get infected and therefore the number of people with the qualifications and expertise available to treat people gets fewer.

Fatality rate will steadily rise over time when hospitals cannot admit more patients for this reason and bed availability.

Fatality rate is been relatively low because healthcare workers have been working their asses off, around the clock, sacrificing themselves, risking themselves, their loved ones to keep us alive and well.

The infection fatality rate here at this moment is 3.63%

That’s with hospitals accessible and functioning.

We start loosing doctors, nurses, carers, porters, security, virologists....

That IFR is north of 15% or estimated to be if that happens.

What happens if Gardai take a hit, lawlessness, that’s what happens.

The law is a deterrent, won’t be a deterrent if there is no Gardai, or not enough.
