There is a man on CB and he is describing his long covid. He was essentially asymptomatic just a bit tired for 3 days.
He's got inflammation of the heart as he's been to several doctors. Covid only thing that could have done it.

Although the news about hospitalisation rates is low there is still issues around morbidity.
This is the big unknown and why we can't let this rip through the population.

And you are?

Just to ad Micky didn't attack me but he did speculate on my daily routine. I've just done the same. You may call me a dope but that is a direct attack. I know you didn't mean it but it still hurts.

There are no stats available on prolonged effects of covid.

All we have is mountains of anecdotal evidence. Why are you dismissing it all though?
Strange behaviour

The media are obsessed with weeding out these bad stories ...

Yes I hoped that would be the scenario

Dublin beer is definitely getting to be a worry

They were your words, as in I directly quoted you.

So you made a bunch of stuff up and now you are throwing your toys out of the pram because you called on it.

Fair enough. As you were.

No you see you are quoting my posts and then adding your own incorrect interpretation to it.

Zero deaths. Little to no hospitalisation. Keep squeezing that lemon all you like but you won't be selling any lemonade.

How can some people read this and still maintain covid is just a little cough or cold.

The sad reality is most people don't have the attention span to read more than a page. There's a lot of folk who thought it was a flu and are now facing issues 5 / 6 months later.

We are conditioned to consume information superficially via ticktock.

Yep. Case numbers worldwide are on a (really slow) downward trend. Deaths likewise.

The trend is quite shallow though, so it's not time for celebration or complacency. We could be past a false peak and see an even worse surge in 3-4 months time.

But IF (big, big if) case numbers have a roughly bell curve distribution, and we at the peak, then we could see them tailing off by January/February next year with total cases & deaths around 50 million and 2 million respectively.

Yes agreed, still a chance of resurgence, but good that it is slowing down slightly, so that we get time to prepare. But yes, need to double up on efforts for Autumn.

7 day average is 117

Previous 7 day average was 101

Not a major growth in cases, but not insignificant either.

Not there yet, but squeaky bum time is approaching.

Hector Savage · 26-08-2020 11:50AM

Why is everyone refering to cases as beer ?
is there some ban on discussing numbers?

ACitizenErased · 26-08-2020 11:52AM

If my calculations are correct, with today’s figures Dublin’s 14 day incidence moves to 38.5 from 33.62, placing it above Kilkenny, and possibly above Laois and Limerick if their numbers reduce today

Because a certain poster has been getting his beer outside of the off-licence hours for the last few days. And he's gotten the correct amount of beer for 4 or 5 days in a row.

Le Bruise · 26-08-2020 11:56AM

Would the Dublin cases mainly be related to clusters or is community transmission starting to gain traction there?

Difference is i’m correct about your daily routine and you’re incorrect about mine ;-)

Hector Savage · 26-08-2020 12:02PM

I don't even look at case numbers at this stage, I use hospitalizations as a metric, and here in Spain it is no where as near as bad as it was in March.... and I don't think it's even possible to get that bad again with the rules in place ... no nightclubs, concerts, sporting events with crowds etc ...

Wrong pal my head is in no hole. I have adhered to every guidline since the start.

You seem to constantly revel in misery stories.

There’s circa 24 million people diagnosed with covid and it’s fair to say a lot of them had heart failure and not known about it. It’s quite common. Covid may have helped them discover it.

Wrong Pal, I'm not trawling the internet looking for Stories to upset you.
Sorry to hear about your mother.
Best stick to the post and not the what a poster does in their day.
I'll do likewise.

How many have had their heart checked? You don't know do you.
We could be coming back to this in 5 years.
Why are china going for zero tolerance?
It's arguably far harder to control the largest border in the world in a country with the largest population in the world.

Considering the Mater Hospital went Covid free the other day (albeit only for a day or two!), and the Mater would cover a lot of the areas in Dublin mentioned by Ronan Glynn as seeing increases, how serious is the Dublin problem really?

Nah, from memory it definitely wasn't a cold. You can work/function with a cold, or rather you could work/function with a cold before Covid 19 made an appearance. Flu, not so much and that was always the case with my work colleagues.

Curiously, now I think of it, it never spread to the rest of us in the office or me, in terms of my friends and family.

A UK study showed that 77% of flu infections are asymptomatic.

Because some people are chronic alcoholics and cleared out the brewery and some people don't like it

The last couple of pages have probably been the most light hearted and humoured these covid threads have been. Thank you, because sometimes it can get very serious trying yo keep up with everything on here so the occasional light relief is welcome.

Agree, have been busking on the promenade for the last few weeks with my ipod and speaker playing trad albums and playing along with my bodhran, I'm doing quite well each time and I think a lot of people are really enjoying it as they must really miss live sessions in the pubs, its a good feeling to help create that and will continue to do so until its too cold to go out.

93 cases of beer in Dublin.

That county is getting locked very soon

According to Dr. Glynn Dublin has a higher community transmission rate than the rest of the country (approx 33%)
