The Independent on their piece about the protected disclosure from a nursing home employee, mentioned in the same piece only 2% of the contact tracing team that has been trained are doing the job. The article is in today's Indo. Examiner no paywall.

Does your comment of a few hours ago:

"On a lighter note the phrase 'snitches get stitches ' springs to mind"

refer to these nursing home snitches?

Or just to US snitches who reported their employers for breaking the law and putting their and others' lives in danger (and who were doxxed by MAGA inadequate Jared Totsch and now fear for their lives and jobs)?

22 cases is the number in the 24 hr period Wednesday lunchtime to Thursday lunchtime

I always thought there was a 48 hour lag on the figures.

Great news if that continues.

Did they say 22 positive out of how many community tests?

People who complain about extra capacity would be the very ones to complain about shortages if the worst came to the worst here.

You can't win with some folk! :pac:

Oh I know.

The same types who complain about the treatment of nursing homes and then want restrictions lifted immediately because it only effects nursing homes.

Plenty of them around here - though to be fair this thread isn't as stoopid as elsewhere on the forum, thankfully.

The overall statistics you get each day are from 48 hours before because obviously the 22 extra today will need to be analysed. The new cases is a completely up to date figure.

*³ Recovered rates are not reported officially by the DoH or HPSC in the above links, these figures are taken from the Worldmeters and Johns Hopkins websites which use data supplied by the DoT to the ECDC under the WHO Guidelines for reporting.

Recovered statistics are only be published as "recovered" following two successful tests of being clear of the virus under the WHO reporting guidelines, as a result it is likely the recovered data is skewed. Updated on 15/04/20 - The WHO reporting criteria has been changed recently to eliminate the 2 test requirement before reporting as recovered, now an outcome report is sent within one month of initial notification or when an outcome is known, the available health outcomes are either “recovered/healthy”, “not recovered", “death", “unknown" or “other", weather this helps create more accurate recovery numbers or skews them further is yet to be seen.

*⁴ Due to the above issue with reporting of recovered cases the number of active cases is also likely skewed.

*⁵ From 24/04/20 probable deaths are included in the official death figures, this is to comply with the WHO definition of COVID-19 deaths issued on the 16th and adopted in Europe by the ECDC yesterday, this is in compliance with what is known as the International Statistical Classification of Diseases known as the ICD-10, as a result a new column has been added into the charts to separate confirmed and suspected COVID-19 deaths – see this post for an explanation on this change. As a result of this change in reporting the CFR is skewed as a corresponding number of cumulative case numbers is not currently part of the official records.

People who complain about extra capacity would be the very ones to complain about shortages if the worst came to the worst here.

You can't win with some folk! :pac:

The people who complain about people complaining about one thing at one end of the scale being the same people that then complain about another thing at the other end of the scale are the same people who complain about the existence of scales.

Like everyone else making these sorts of comparisons I shall provide zero examples/proof.

All data is cumulative and based on the date of official reporting

Would this not be better off in it's own thread? The scroll wheel on my mouse is overheating scrolling past this post everyday.

Does your comment of a few hours ago:

"On a lighter note the phrase 'snitches get stitches ' springs to mind"

refer to these nursing home snitches?

Or just to US snitches who reported their employers for breaking the law and putting their and others' lives in danger (and who were doxxed by MAGA inadequate Jared Totsch and now fear for their lives and jobs)?

Since you were able to reference the quote you know exactly what it was in reference too . Rather pathetic way of posting tbh.

Nope, still none the wiser, I'm afraid, about what you actually meant.

Are all 'snitches' the same in your book or are some OK?

Maybe you meant that 'snitches' deserve to be stabbed?

Does that include nursing home employees?

"Maybe you meant", no I wrote a well known expression. The quote I replied to mentioned the release of names of residents in a US state who reported their neighbours for breaking restrictions 900 people were named.
Nowhere in my response to that did I mention Nursing homes. That's all you. As I said rather pathetic on your part.

Interesting graph (based on data from 17 million people) - illustrates that there is very low risk for anyone under 40 with no underlying health conditions.

Why are ex-smokers higher risk than current smokers? Nicotine in your system providing some degree of resistance to the virus?

Ex smokers are probably older on average

Dropped into Lidl earlier. It's been literally weeks since I've been inside the door of a supermarket or anywhere but work really... Jesus tonight. Compared to a couple of weeks ago (~4 weeks maybe) there is a frightening difference. It's the same as if this thing never existed. It was packed to the rafters and I'd say less than 10% observing any description of social distancing. We'll see an upswing in numbers (and additional control measures) way faster than anticipated if this is anything to go by. I'm aware one shop doesn't determine the populations behaviour but if people are getting this relaxed already.... I fear for whats to come more than what has passed

We are out of the woods mate. Look at the r0. People wont live with these restrictions much longer. No need for further lockdowns.

You keep avoiding saying what you actually mean.

They reported their employers for putting their lives and those of others in danger, like the nursing home employee you referenced when you mentioned a 'protected disclosure from a nursing home employee' - i.e. a 'snitch'.

Tip - go as early as is personally possible, went to the local Dunnes at 10 this morning, and there wasn't even a queue outside.

I've stopped going to Lidl, they don't seem to bother to enforce it

Dunnes/Supervalu and Aldi in my area are much better, but that said I tend to go after 8:30 pm if I can

I was the same last week in Aldi. It's all social distancing outside waiting to go in, but once you're inside it's out the window with people falling allover each other. Still leaving too many people in IMO. I'd rather stay away from supermarkets until masks are(hopefully made) mandatory, but continually going to the local shop ain't cheap.

If you are going to use hyperbolic nonsense like 'packed to the rafters' it's easy to dismiss your comment.

The Kerryman has created a graphic showing the weekly rise in cases over the last week - admittedly, the higher counties would have started from a lower base, but still useful for monitoring containment:

Modelling

Significant reduction in numbers of people in hospital, and hospital admissions

Last week over 700 people in hospital, 40 admissions a day.

614 people this week, 20 or fewer new admissions per day

ICU - average number of people in ICU each day is falling

Peaked at 140 at the height

100 last week

76 as of this morning

Average number of people with Covid 19 admitted each day - last week 4-5 admitted each day. Now fewer than 2 each day.

Day on day growth rate - similar number of cases each day to the proceeding days

Looking at the new cases over the past week its falling close to 10% per day

Today's number is the lowest in quite some time

Reproduction number - number of people infected by any one case

Using latest data up to yesterday, we have 3 estimates

SEIR inferred mode: 0.54, uncertainity of .34-.71

Statistical method, looking back on positive deaths on date they were taken: 0.6

Imperial College London, adapted to Irish context: 0.53, but more confident of this value than we were last week

Confident reproduction number is between 0.5 and 0.6

Reproductive numbers

Late Feb-Early March: 5-6

Before any public health measures taken: 3.7

Closure of schools, pubs, WFH: 1.6

Since 28th March: 0.5

We are not aiming for any one number, we are aiming for suppression.

If on 5th May, if we had a reproductive number of 1.6, we would be experiencing 1000 cases a day within three weeks.

This emphasises the point that we have had great success up until now, and need to find a way to keep the virus at a very low level for weeks to come

QUESTIONS
What's the hospital scene like? Empty beds? Staff without things to do?

A few weeks ago we had 2200 empty beds, now at around 1300

A&E visitations are increasing again

Private hospital capacity is 50% occupied, and that is increasing. Now making productive use of this capacity to treat cancer patients, urgent surgeries. Plans in place to make optimal use of the private and public capacity

Dundalk nursing home - 26 deaths. Do we have confirmation of this?

Have had a number of locations that have had experienced significant increases in deaths

Clear from work being done in prioritising the testing, that we have slowed the progression the number of places reporting new infections, and a slowdown of the spread

Dublin airport - 1/3rd not giving a location. Are you comfortable now with people flying into the country?

As we see a reduction in our cases, measures in airport will become more important.

Anything else on NPHET agenda of concern?

Compliance/behaviours - want to look at hard information in relation to this

Specific focus will be given to areas where there has been a challenge experienced - meat factories, detention centres. Want to see if we can add something to the knowledge we have

137 new cases, lowest since late March. How encouraging is this?

Number of trends to inspire optimism. Not where we would like to be still, this is under continuous assessment. Formal decision on 18th May will be decided at the end of next week - maybe Thursday

On the route for the roadmap to progress as normal

*What does this mean for the LC? *

Public health guidelines on social distancing and length of time are clear

All of these matters are under consideration by DoE

It is up to the department of education

Preference as a doctor? Assessment needs to be made. Regardless of the sector, the advice is to follow the guidelines. Colleagues in the DoE will assess the ability for exams to go ahead

Non-Covid related health - lower numbers of cancer diagnoses etc. Cure worse than disease. More urgency needed to re-open health service?

Yes, need arrangements to increase the amount of activity in hospitals.

Previously we were not recommended for health services to go ahead, however we are not recommended that this go ahead

Message that has been sent out for a significant number of time has always been to go hospital if you had symptoms of concern, like heart attacks etc., and to still attend GP

Hospitals know how to prevent you from getting the disease in the hospital

Over the course of the last number of days, work in re-introducing the less urgent care in a planned way. This will lead to an increase in activity. We know people keeping away from fear, and the HSE pausing certain activities.

Re-opening road map - not written in stone, door was open for people to discuss this, e.g. vintners. What is the process for these sectors to come forward to NPHET?

Has been correspondance with vintners, correspondance will be returned to them

Don't want every sector to contact them, in respect to their sectoral interest

Public health advice is straight forward and easy to understand, and sectors need to apply their own measures and plans because they know their own sector the best

Public understanding and following the public health advice very well. Asking organisations to take these into account

Persistant level of infection in community, particularly among young people. Is contact tracing showing this to be a compliance issue?

No direct evidence of this

Seen continuing challenge in workplaces, and workplaces generally have a younger population

Approx. 80-100 cases each day under 65, but that has reduced today

Constantly under review

Questions with colleagues in relation to some workplaces, such as meat factories, to install measures

Young is anyone under 65.

Simon Harris said today that 164 people in Direct Provision with Covid. This is much larger than what was reported

He has the most up to date numbers.

93 cases reported in a single Direct Provision centre. Will all these people be tested?

Will be considered and discussed at tomorrows meeting

Update tomorrow

Testing and responses capacity to be considered at NPHET

Lots of questions are trying to find specific numbers behind processes. Yesterday you explained that person needs to go to their GP quickly, appointment needs to happen quickly, sample needs to be tested quickly, contact tracing needs to be tested quicky. What is "quickly"?

Don't have that report at the moment

Looking at that information in terms of turnaround

Should have those numbers tomorrow

All of these numbers will play into national plan (page 14 of roadmap?), that will be brought to government to allow decisions for what recommendations can be lifted

These numbers can be made available at the briefings, if that is the information that people want

Do you know of the process issues with contact tracing? NVRL not being able to contact people, etc.

Contact tracing is not just a simple process of calling someone up and having an interview - can be much more complex

Can involve going into a factory, the implications in the community around that factory, healthcare workers and occupational teams

Contact tracing teams have been augmeneted by new contact tracers

Simple hurdles had to have been overcome - phone numbers on samples and forms. Some positive cases were not answering phone etc

Realisation early on that some of the IT systems in place were not as robust as they needed to be. Time and expertise has gone into this to improve the IT system that is used when contact tracing

No one major issue, just aligning lots of expertise and experience

Acknowledge that they're not fully there, but seen significant improvement

IT system being used didn’t even exist 2 months ago

Definition for Covid 19 mortality? WHO if you have Covid 19 in hospital, but die of kidney failure, does this count?

Yes, the illness played to your death

If there is a lab confirmation, the death will always be reported as Covid 19

If you have Covid 19 and die, it is recored, even if there is no lab confirmation - Doctors decision

This is now in line with the ECDC recommendation, which is in line with the WHO

Not many countries in Europe that can be confident that they are reporting probable and suspect cases, and also hospitalised and community deaths. We are one of these

We are following a very broad definition of very broad Covid mortality, and we have a very high level of testing. High percentrage of deaths that occur in nursing homes have been tested actively in the last 2-3 weeks. Undercovered an impact of the disease that many countries may not have.

UK report - black people have a higher mortalitly. Do we have ethnicity figures?

We do not have these figures yet

Many countries like ourselves will be looking at that, by collecting the information through the public health system

Taoiseach said that the disease may have been here earlier Jan, late last year. Is this something that NPHET agress with?

Some genetic work has shown that it was present in some countries earlier that first reported

We don't believe we had infection at any singificant level - sporadic cases if it was present

Index of suspicion was asked to be raised in hospitals, doctors etc

Our flu season was over when Covid reached us

We did a quantity of testing over February, which allowed us to see that our public advice was being followed

Almost 400 samples tested before the first confirmed sample

We would have had a higher rate of positivity at the time we confirmed our first case - however positivity rate was low - 3-4% at this time

Approx. 30 suspected Covid deaths before the first lab confirmed death - would this have changed anything?

We don't think there were 30 suspected deaths. May have had similar symptoms.

Not a group of 30 deaths attributal before the first lab confirmed death

Secondary deaths due to people not attending hospital - if these deaths increase more and more, would there be a public health case for restrictions to be lifted earlier?

If we arrive at a point where it is right to lift restrictions sooner than the roadmap, we certainly will

Mortality is only one thing that plays into that

All factors that they think are important will be considered

Concerned about public health overall, and Covid, not just Covid

Haven't seen an increase in secondary deaths from not receiving medical care in nursing homes

In community, if people are not attending GPs or A&E due to fear, this would be a concern

Measures in place to pick this up and detect that - so called excess mortality allows us to see that - the registration of deaths

Registration of deaths isn't happening at the same rate it was before Covid, it is now slower. Encouraging people to register deaths as soon as possible, as it allows for data to be analysed to calculate excess mortality.

Study from East Anglia shows that social distancing measures make more difference than lockdown measures. Have you looked at reduction in reproduction rate after measures in mid-March, compared to the ones at the end of March?

Social distancing, hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette are the best

We saw closing schools, WFH had a huge impact on the reproductive number of the virus.

These measures alone would not have been good enough to suppress a rapidly growing rate of transmission

Much stronger social distancing measures were needed to get the reproductive number under 1

This prevented excess illness, deaths and ensured the healthcare system could cope

Shows us that if we have an outbreak in the future, that we know how to and can control it

Everyone in Ireland has gotten better at social distancing and handwashing, giving hope that we can retain a reproductive number under 1 without strict measures in place

Sweden - have same death rate as us, without the same measures. Would said it was due to the outbreak here being more severe than Sweden, but other experts say differently.

ICU admission rates in Sweden have been approximately double of what we have had here

Really difficult to compare disease between countries. You CANNOT just look at rates, because each country has different density etc.

The number of people admitted into ICU in the first week showed us that the disease was spreading incredibly quickly. Comparing this same week to Sweden, they had less ICU cases and less positive tests. This shows us that they were managing a less severe disease at this time

If measures in 28th March were more than necessary, we would have been a massive drop in cases immediately afterwards, which we did not see. Measures implemented were exactly what we needed.

137 new cases today, and in breakdown on residential care settings there were 115 cases. Can I take these two numbers away from each other?

No, because recorded at different times. However, majority of 137 were in residential care settings

Yes, by and large most cases are occurring in residential care settings and in healthcare workers, BUT

We have been prioritising testing in these areas

Doesn't necessarily mean there are more cases hidden - apart from the ones being focused on: meat factories, direct provision

We have driven up the testing within the last week, but positivity is for the last week is 3.7%, so not too worried that there may potentially be thousands of cases in the community not being picked up on

Overall positivity is approximately 10%

Can older age brackets be broken down?

Yes

Can we give exemptions to those who live very rural where 5km does not get you far?

Can be considered - know there aren't many amenities nearby

Very difficult to have guidelines for each specific rural area

Hoping to ease these restrictions

That was such a crucial point he made there at the end. That it's a good thing if you plan for the worst outcomes and then find yourself in a position where you don't have to use the things you prepared for.

If you haven't had to use extra ICU capacity or community testing hubs - then that's good news.

It's a pity that some people need to be told this.

My husband is constantly saying this too...we came up with the idea that maybe they are going to more than one shop and dont have enough masks to change between two shops (and you shouldn't remove or reuse some) so they simply keep it on until they are done. Probably not right but slightly restores my faith in mankinds common sense lol

Noticed an interesting one in Lidl the other day. A man got his trolley, then got his gloves out and put them on, started moving the trolley before using his gloved hands that had just being touching the trolley to get his mask out of his pocket and put it on. Would have been as well off just licking the trolley
