Nolan has said as much, more than once.

9 deaths and 7 cases. Has to be a backlog of deaths there surely.

7 cases is very positive. If it becomes a trend the R number won't be long going below 1 again.

What Username Guidelines · 23-07-2020 05:47PM

8 are late notifications - took place in April, May, June.

Itssoeasy · 23-07-2020 05:47PM

9 deaths ? Bit of a jump. Good to see the positive cases come back down to single figures but when's the last time we had nine deaths ?

Arghus · 23-07-2020 05:47PM

8 of the deaths are late notifications.

ACitizenErased · 23-07-2020 05:47PM

Cases nice and low today as expected. Shocking number of deaths.

edit: backlog of deaths

is_that_so · 23-07-2020 05:47PM

Ridiculous delay in some of those deaths, back to April!

Always_Running · 23-07-2020 05:47PM

9 deaths so sad. We had only 8 deaths all of last week

Hopefully its asked in the press conference when are these being reported from.

You have 3 months to notify a death in Ireland and I know the HSE and HPSC were looking to change that.

RIP to all

Edit: I see its quite a large time line

ACitizenErased · 23-07-2020 05:48PM

Our reporting system is a joke tbh, first the cases during the week and now the deaths.

Ah well that explains it then because that was a fair jump when the trend wasn't up.

Dr Ronan Glynn: 8 of today's Covid-19 deaths occurred in April, May and June. Delayed notification.

ACitizenErased · 23-07-2020 05:49PM

Cases per day has stabilised for first time in 5 weeks at 18 per day

Those figures are far from stable, very hard to ascertain a trend in the last couple of weeks.

ACitizenErased · 23-07-2020 05:50PM

1 death every 3-5 days at the moment

I'm posting what Prof. Nolan is saying

What Username Guidelines · 23-07-2020 05:51PM

Most deaths are delayed - we're seeing about 1 death every 3-5 days according to Nolan.

ICU admission is about 1 every 5 days.

ACitizenErased · 23-07-2020 05:52PM

This is actually quite positive from prof. Nolan

But to say he doesn't understand it or how it's calculated?

Most of the posters on this thread have a handle on that!

YellowBucket · 23-07-2020 05:53PM

Can they please stop clumping notifications like that! There was a collective sense of absolute doom in our office when that alert went out that there were 9 extra deaths.

They should be retrospectively applied to the dates on which they occurred.

I don't think you need to have a medical background to know what it is though

ACitizenErased · 23-07-2020 05:54PM

Seems like a big jump in close contact cases in the last week, testing and tracing is detecting cases

fr336 · 23-07-2020 05:54PM

Pretty silly to include deaths from months ago in daily figures. Regardless of what people watching the briefing have heard, the headline will still be 9 deaths in the corner of the newspaper. So really 1 death.

ACitizenErased · 23-07-2020 05:54PM

20 travel cases last week up to Sunday

Or at least be clear why is behind the number because as sure as night follows days people will see 9 death think were in trouble.

Nolan showed a chart of deaths by date of death. Too hard to see on the stream, but he usually tweets them later.

The law allows people to 3 months to report deaths. They still need to report them when they get them but they are clarifying.

Estimate is 1.1 for the r-number down from 1.3/1.4 last week
