Could we use Kerry as an experiment, open all pubs there for a month and then assess the numbers.

Only locals , no tourists and no one with kids in school, like the separation of church and state.;)

Most people do. Unfortunately in Ireland the people who elect certain TDs can't see it.

I give up. Hospital figures are trending up. People think it's ok as the deaths and ICU are stable. We don't have an endless supply of hospital beds and currently have people on trollies due to lack of beds. The answer.... Blame the HSE and government and totally ignore the increase in cases is driving the hospital admissions.

Nobody saying its ok, but its a hell of a lot better than it was predicted to be. Can you at least admit that.

The first case was on 28th feb im sure and by april 1st there was14 dead. So call it 14 in one month. So deaths dont nearly take as long as people are saying unlessee assume it was here alot earlier....which makes more sense.the deaths started mid march so nearly one per day.

Wasnt the first cases restrospectively found aprox feb 16th?

Despite up/down/up/down trend in daily numbers recently with last Friday 111.57 to today 113.14 it's safe to say the past week has stablised

Stabilised like the week from the Aug10th-17th?

Pogba has Corona now. I'm assuming that's his career finished now with all these long lasting effects. Pity, just when he was about to play some CL football.

They came out with all these scary stat's without having a clue in March and everyone took it as fact

5-20% hospitalisation rate
2-3% death rate

It seems more like

.5-2% hospitalisation rate
.2-.3% death rate

Yeah, I don't get this - of the figures we have for "closed cases", 5% of the ~18 million have died. So how many people are they assuming actually have/have had it, if they're saying The death rate is closer .25%? ~400 million? I know there will be some amount of cases listed as covid deaths that weren't, but hardly that many...

It has different affects on different people, many athletes have recovered to what looks like perfectlyand hopefully Pogba does too

Of course it is. It's just the attitude some people are starting to take, "it's not as lethal now so there's very little risk etc..."It's like a slow boil, cases in hospitals increase, as it's only 10, sure it's only 20, now it's 29. At what figure would people get concerned at?

When we had low figures it would shoot up from 8 to 18 over the weekends and quickly drop down to single digits midway thought the next week and repeat itself. I was one not worried back then. It was easy to see that trend.

Now it's creeping up. When the 3 county lockdown was introduced, people were complaining a week or so into it, that there wasn't even anyone in hospital there. Naas and Limerick have the 2 highest figures in hospital (I know Limerick wasn't locked down, but there seems to be a large cluster there)

The restrictions we're living under is impacted by many things, among them hospital admissions.

10,000 cases a day in March when every man and dog had it seems very likely now

310,000 case in March? There were far more hospitalizations in April and the first bit of May. You would be getting up to 1 million infections. 20+ percent of the population which would make us the highest by far in the world.

No, just, No.

We had a relatively mild first instance of the virus. Between 80,000 and 150,000, probably on the lower scale of that.

The mortality rate is between .6 and .9 depending on who gets infected.

Hospitalization rate is between 2-4%, depending the profile of infection.

If we had a million infections in 3 months, emergency care would have collapsed within 2-4 weeks.

I was just saying h same.
Could cost Utd 100s of Millions of £.

He's surely unlikely to be able to play at that level again given how badly it affects the lungs and heart?

What symptoms? That's unreal. Working while being sick. There is nothing to protect people from others doing the same.

Why is nhpet and the government picking and choosing what part of the country/society/economy to reopen? The pubs should be allowed to reopen now.

Hardly a suprise people are working while symptomatic.

Probably the same eejits who ramble about it only being a flu.

Or have decided being young means it does nothing at all.

Or that its no longer lethal at all.

Or that they should go house party etc. etc.

There's been plenty of time for deaths to come but we haven't seen what would have been expected.

As mentioned here last night, we're testing way more now and it's obvious that we had way more cases than recorded earlier in the year.

This virus isn't as lethal as initially thought.

There's alot we don't know. The current icu numbers at present are a positive in all of this for whatever reasoning is behind them:

1. Sickness rate much lower than originally thought?
2. Weakening virus?
3. Better treatments?

Treatment/vaccines will continue to improve.

Other positives are cases have probably stabilised and an r rate of close to 1.

:cool:

How is music venues open, like Gleneagle / INEC, are they operating a full bar?

Jaded Walker · 27-08-2020 07:39PM

I like to be positive but I'm not sure it's good to be putting out positive messages because the more careless then think everything is fine.
It's great that we are not having many deaths and that ICU numbers are really low but it's concerning that the number of infections is growing. Only around two weeks ago we were getting the odd high number day and then some low ones around it. Now we are on the verge of our low day being 100 new cases.
I don't think people should be scared back into lockdown but it would be no harm if the message about social distancing and washing your hands and using hand sanitiser was being drilled home constantly.

Sorry you are right . Only when contacted by the Covid team to get tested did she admit her test was positive . She will be struck off I hope . Shameful behaviour

Health care worker , didn't say she was a nurse , I don't think.

Immaterial .Whomever is leaking this sxxx would want to be very sure of their facts, demonising somebody like this .

Let's wait a while before we start another witchhunt .

Beanybabog · 27-08-2020 07:47PM

Does 19 seems like an awful lot for a restaurant cluster? Sounds pretty scarily high to me, I assume it was all people at the same sitting. Did they give any more info on that- Ie was it perhaps a function in a restaurant (before the limit of 6 came in).

Paulo Dybala is another professional footballer who contracted the virus and was quite unwell for over a month. Others in the Juventus team who had the virus reported serious problems in trying to regain full fitness when they resumed playing.

But of course you're obviously an expert on this.

Agree. Positives are r number back close to 1 after being at 1.8 earlier this month. Less socialising naturally at this time of year compared to high summer. Icu numbers still very low which is true indicator of an epedemic. Testing now going full tilt again. Hospital care for covid much better than earlier hence lower deaths etc. Possibility of weakening virus as is natural evolution of a coronavirus. :cool:

Two different scenarios were reported today

1) the care worker who was a close contact of a confirmed positive, ignored isolation rules and continued to work putting others at risk
2) a worker with symptoms continuing to work

Our government are so fcuking useless. They should be addressing this ASAP. There was a case in Australia where two women were confirmed positive and they didn't isolate themselves. They exposed others to the virus. The cops tracked them down and slapped heavy fines on them and they are facing prison too.

There's nothing to deter people here from endangering others when public health guidelines are broken.

For all the faults with Simon Harris in not just health but prior to that he at the very least seemed able to convey the government message with some semblance of clarity. Now that’s just my opinion but perception is important.
