    You were going well until you came out with this nonsense.
    They have made a total 'dogs dinner' of the crisis and as each day goes by we are seeing more proof of this. An absolute shambles.




    P.S. For the record i'm not a 'shinner' and agree that they have been equally useless in this crisis.

    Not according to the WHO.

    Some aspects they've done ok, others not so much. 77 deaths today is on par with Italy's highest death toll in a single day.

    Then there's the nursing home situation.

    Don't take my word for that though.

    Doctor resigns from Irish Medical Council after criticising 'mismanagement' of Covid-19 outbreak

    ‘On a par with Italy’s highest daily death toll’

    Try and make the lie some way believable

    Remind me, what was Italy's highest death toll in a single day?

    Please don't do the usual and scurry off for a few days when caught out in your usual bs.

    Someone sat at the back and posted smily emoticons during the maths lessons I see.

    You might want to rethink the lie comment now so.

    The 77 was that not an accumulation of deaths over the past few days but when the autopsy and test just come through on that day they are counted as deaths that day ?

    Pretty sure it was deaths in one day, must check it again, but if so, then yeah puts us right on par with Italy's highest death toll in a day.

    If I read it wrong, I'll gladly come back and rectify it.

    Reads to me like it's 77 alright.
    The Department of Health has announced that a further 77 people who had been diagnosed with Covid-19 have died, bringing the overall death toll in Ireland to 687.

    Have you done the sums?

    Of course it was. But that wouldn’t go with the agenda. It said on the news that those deaths occurred over a number of days.

    Sad that some are wishing for numbers bigger than they are. Actually, not sad, pathetic.

    You're only fooling yourself.
    A further 77 people have died from coronavirus - a grim new record - and there are 401 more cases, it has emerged this evening

    Stick to the smily emoticons, facts and figures don't suit obviously.

    Tbf I'd say the Italian ones were never for just the given day they were released either.
    At today's figures our death toll today is about a 1 in 75000 ratio, at 919 italys would be 1 in 65000 ratio.
    Not a big difference.

    I have said if I have read it wrong I would gladly rectify it, but I don't think I have.

    Where did it say this btw?

    Did you actually read the RTE article?

    What do you think this means?

    Today the largest number of deaths have been reported by the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) in a single day during the coronavirus emergency
    .

    Which firmly puts us on par with Italy's highest death toll in a single day.

    Did you actually read the RTÉ article:

    ‘It's important to be aware that these deaths may have occurred over recent days and are not reported in real time. They did not occur in a day. ‘

    Yes. Imagine the mess we’d now be in if we listened to him

    I didn't realise you were talking about the figures as a percentage of population..if that's what you're asking for?
    I deleted the post because someone else had posted the same thing so didn't see the need for a duplicate post.

    Obviously I was. Population wise, we're pretty much on par. Anyone suggesting I'm "wishing for the numbers to be higher" is just trying to point score. It's a disgusting comment to make.

    Fair enough.

    It's a fairly conflicting report in rte, it says both that the numbers are from a single day, and they're not from a single day.

    However, yesterday's death figure stood at 610.
    There have now been 610 COVID-19 related deaths in Ireland. A summary of all 610 deaths provided by the HPSC shows that;

    Whereas it's now 687.

    Are they saying these were earlier unreported deaths?

    How is ‘they did not occur in a day’ conflicting?

    They were reported in one day. Not occurred in one day.

    To be fair, you got me on the maths one. I was at the back of the class. But looks like you were sitting next to me for the comprehension lesson! :)

    You made a personal comment about me that was untrue, I corrected the record, you haven't even apologised for your mistake, in fact you are doubling down on the insults, and you want me to answer the rest of your post?

    Have a think about why I mightn't be bothered.

    Insult? By saying you have the highest post count in this thread? Sorry precious! Hahaha. Are you the second highest poster in here?

    Basically you don't have an answer to the other questions and are going with a 'you hurt my feelings so I'm ignoring your question' response. Bravo!

    Are they saying these were deaths not previously reported on ?

    ‘Reported(...)in a single day’

    No such luck for me unfortunately.

    So that means the numbers reported over the weekend were actually higher?
