LOCKdown.

We have also seen an increase in the average number of contacts for confirmed cases up to 6. It is crucial to keep your social contacts low to limit the spread of this disease.

That's pretty high.

ACitizenErased · 14-08-2020 05:58PM

Carlow is very very close to lockdown i think

Coybig_ · 14-08-2020 05:58PM

Seems like a lot of the cases these days are with younger people. And we are having virtually no deaths, virtually no hospitalisations and virtually nobody in ICU.

Hmmm...

How about telling the vulnerable to stay at home, encourage people to take extra precaution with them, but open up everything with proper social distancing etc.

It's very clear that this virus is fatal to a very specific group of people (elderly people with preexisting conditions) and we cant keep the country closed for them indefinitely, it's time for them now to do their bit and stay home and stay safe, while others get on with their lives.

Fearmongering would make you sick tbh.

Am I right in saying that there's barely anyone dying anymore from this and hospitalizations have not went up at all in recent weeks/days?

Roughly 72 cases per 100k in the last 14 days.
Obviously it's not a single metric they use, but alarming none the less.

Here yes, mainly down to the relatively young age of the cohort who are most likely to be infected.

Do we know that’s not the only reason? Older people are still getting it- how are they faring I wonder?

Do you tell every vulnerable person to stay at home? Every immunosuppressed person? Every person with diabetes or high blood pressure? Everybody over 50 (Hospitalisations spike after this age)? Everybody with or recovering from cancer? And all the people that come into contact with them? Healthcare workers, nursing home staff, all the people they live with?

Though we don't know the long term effects yet, lots of reports saying there are very severe after affects

Have hospitizations went up even slightly?

It's good news, the plan was to stop the overwhelming of hospitals and protect the elderly. We're doing great if that's the case.

Yes you do. I think as this goes on and on that will be the only way. It’s utterly ridiculous leaving able bodied fit young people at home doing nothing when they can be out learning, working and contributing to the nation.
Otherwise we’re headed for a nation of do nothing cripples

Hospitalization rate overall is 12.6%

The rate on roughly the 800 cases over the past 14 days has been 3.2%.

If anything considering we are probably only missing 1 case for every one we find and the age demographic of cases, the hospitalization rate is actually quite high.

If we were only finding 1 in 8 cases back in March / April. Scaled up that would give us a rate of 25%.

An over abundance of caution given the capacity is there would explain probably explain that given the shortness of the current hospital stays.

What does that 25% refer to?

The alternative is businesses up and down the country being shut and the economy being driven into the ground, creating a recession that will plague the young generation for years and decades to come.

You can die from anything these days as long as its not covid! All the people without a livelihood, all the people with severely worsening mental health, all the people not getting seen in hospitals because of covid. Fcuk them right? Let's not open up like the rest of Europe, which we are a part of. Let's kill the economy and peoples mental health, let's fearmonger at every possible opportunity, lets create panic when we dont have to.

Easy to forget one of these days all of you here telling people to lock themselves away so the young can get on with whatever they want will also get old, just remember what you said on boards.ie on 14/8/2020 and see how you like it when your the one been told to lock yourselves away.

Absolute ageist bollocks

Not by a long shot, public transport is still limited to essential journeys only.

No thanks , I don’t want to have to stay at home while meat plants carry on a ****eshow and young people gather in crowds to drink . I don’t want to stay in my house while some young people have house parties and factories pay no attention to social distancing .
We have done everything asked of us and still only go shopping or to parks or beaches . If everyone else plays along fine but until they do I won’t appreciate having to pay the price for some doing just as they please

Over the past 14 days, we've had 886 cases and 18 hospital admissions.
I had to double check, as it's extremely low.
But it has to be taken with some caution, as the majority of cases recently are in much younger people and in the meat plants there's between 40-60% asymptomatic cases.

The hospitals may be able to cope long term with the slow steady flow of new patients, but as community spread increases, the risk to older/at risk people gets higher.

Sparko · 14-08-2020 06:18PM

I know of someone who got a positive result yesterday evening, but the county is not listed in the breakdown. So presumably part of this potential backlog between the postive test number and the reported cases.

Ok so that's over a million people over 50. Then you have the those with high blood pressure, that's half the population over 45. Cancer patients would be about 100,000. Diabetes 200,000. Arthritis (commonly treated with immune suppression) 900,000.

The list goes on. Add in all those they live with and every healthcare worker and you will probably end up with about 2 million people.

Best of luck with that plan.

If you overlook those who's heart and/or lungs have been aged by decades in weeks this is true!
