Guess yesterday was just like last week, large backlog then back to double digits.

Atlantic Dawn · 16-08-2020 05:36PM

66, back in the safe zone.

66 cases no deaths

Deaths have dropped of a cliff since May. I think we need to start focusing on deaths and ICU admissions now. That is the battle ground and we are winning there big time.

66 new cases, 0 deaths

Only 7 more weekly cases than last week from a lot more tests carried out.

Oranage2 · 16-08-2020 05:43PM

66 cases I'll be able to sleep somewhat sounder. Crazy to think only two weeks ago 66 was a high number, nowadays double digits seems to be a good number.

Cases down again and no deaths, which is great news

Control in nursing homes was the key.

Couldn’t agree more. Anyone got deaths in the last 2-3 months graphed? They’re so low they’re difficult to see on worldometers. I know they show deaths by date of death charts when Nolan does an update, but can’t find it available online.

Don’t dwell on the numbers take some time out and do what you can to keep you and yours safe is all you can do. It’s not good to keep watching the numbers if it’s affecting you sleep

GeorgeBailey · 16-08-2020 05:46PM

So presumably Laois and Offaly will have their restrictions lifted but Kildare maybe not?

Compare that to mortality rate earlier? People live long enough that they get cancer now. Mental issues and depression were earlier too but may be overshadowed by other miseries of life which we take for granted now.

Go to any third world country and you will see what I am talking about. No one cares about mental health because other issues are more aggravating.

How is the social security and benefit situation now compared to earlier?

This looks more like first world problem.

Compare that to the time when education was for elites and not everyone had free education.

Nicely demolished that naive post without resorting to childish insults, excellent.

Yes indeed.

Deaths and ICU admissions are dropping all over Europe. The data is very convincing that something is happening. I don't know what it is but a few months after the virus hits an area the pattern is the same. High deaths, high ICU admissions then a tapering off.

I certainly can't explain it but it is interesting.

The real important figure. A bit high yesterday. More realistic today. Keep it like that, we'll be back open in a few weeks.

Im convinced there is something in that theory.

The death rate also correlates to the population of citizens over 65, the death rate per 100k population is a poor indicator of how a country has protected its vulnerable

I'd like to see the 53 under investigation (and 107 yesterday) explained before I relaxed about community transmission.

So what is Govt. goal now? Is it still 'flatten the curve' (aren't we reasonably flat?) Or is it practical elimination strategy?

Originally we were told the goal was not to overwhelm the health services, and the original phases I understood to be in keeping with that ie that there was an acceptance that we'd live with a few cases once we had it under control.

But now we're keeping things closed even those that didn't contribute to case problems. Like we are afraid of cases going up, rather than managing that situation as and if/when it occurs.

This nonsense of mystery about deaths and hospitalisation was doing the rounds in Florida several weeks back. Please don't import this horsesh1t to Ireland. Cases rises, then hospitalisation rises, then deaths rise. They don't occur at the same time and if you keep cases low and infective doses low then you'll keep the hospital figures low as well. If cases spike significantly more serious cases of COVID will spike.

Same. Basically only 15 of the 66 have been explained so far, with 20% of those being community transmission.

It’s the lowest ‘explained’ percentage (22.7%) of daily cases I can remember.
