    Ah that can't be right. What about the long lasting effects?

    I'm surprised he was able to do it without proper use of his limbs and with a damaged heart and lungs.
    He must be the GOAT

    Maybe he's an "outlier" ?

    That was a popular word here at one stage.

    Truthfully our case numbers today are about 1/30th or 3% of what they were when things were bad. Maybe even less. Just say that - we have 2 or 3% today of what we had in April. Now. That's okay.

    At 115 daily case rate being 2% that would translate to 5750.

    Or 178,000 cases just for April.

    On those figures you'd expect to see roughly 5000+ hospitalizations.

    The numbers are just not there.

    We got nowhere near 6,000 cases a day for a sustained period of anywhere approaching 30 days.

    I asked this last week and nobody answered. How can anyone say there haven't been any deaths for the past few days?

    Somebody said here a few weeks ago about the late notifications of deaths and it's up to the family if they want the death announced.

    So how do we know for sure when it's up to the families of the deceased?

    Yeah we won't know exactly, but at the same stage the few deaths that were announced in the past month or two were almost all historic ones.

    The reality is that Covid related deaths since June are really minimal and it ought to make everyone question why so much healthcare related screening and treatments are stopped for fear of something which no longer seems very deadly.

    Doctors Hippocratic Oath is surely under fire lately , what’s their barometer for decisions on care of future cancer cases and suicides over a clearly damp squib virus ?

    This 2nd wave is a ‘dead cat bounce’ however I’ve yet to hear anything positive highlighting this lack of death on our media
    Just for accuracy. Doctors do not take the Hippocratic Oath here.

    Today’s cases are a scare tactic after loosening up restrictions in Kildare yesterday

    At this stage I’d nearly believe it but still not heading to the conspiracy theory thread!! :-)

    Not surprised by today’s figures, I know 3 families local who’s teenagers have come from holidays in Greece and now have Covid , two had no symptoms and continued with football training and working ,only got tested when a friend was confirmed positive. Most members of the households have gotten it.
    So out of 3 teenagers who returned from Greece it has turned into a 3 separate clusters with some contacts still to be tested. Big numbers returning from Greece over the weekend.
    It's what a lot of other countries are running into, in terms of cases, an active holiday season and holiday returns. You'd imagine that cases directly related to that should start to decline soon enough.

    Hes a professional athlete. Diet and lifestyle not comparable to 99% of the population. We know that obesity is a massive factor with this virus , which makes a high proportion of the population more vulnerable than an elite athlete.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 305 ✭✭Parsnips


    Now My Company are telling us.... With the return of schools......If your childs class are effected by Covid we now need to quarantine for 2 weeks off work also without being paid.
    How far can they go here. I personally feel this is way over the limit.

    I never said a sustained period. I said on a day or two. You distribute 100000 to 250000 cases over the time frame 1st March to end of August remembering it must ascend, peak then descend and show me how you fit in the numbers. 150000 divided by 180 days just at a flat rate is over 800. If 0.6% is 1800 then 100% is about 250000. 250000 divided by 180 days is 1400 every day since March 1st to August 31st. It peaked though and troughed. The numbers were WAY higher in the past.

    Athletes get other viruses, often Much worse than others as intensive exercise lower your immune system.

    They are unlikely to know that info surely?

    Thats my Point.
    Ive highlighted that this is what the meat factories where doing and why the walking dead kept quiet and infected everyone else.
    Im Rightly Pd off now and will prob just keep shtum myself if the situation arises. Bloody Joke.

    Public health guidelines would allow you to go into work so I would just follow that advice

    There might be a cluster connected with a DPC in a hotel in the city -also with the travelling community around Rathkeale.

    Of course we did. We have recorded 28000 cases as of now. But between 2 and 5% have had Covid as researched. That is 100,000 to 250,000 people. Most we recorded in Aprilish was about 800 to 1000 cases. Do the sums. There are loads of cases missing. We could have had 10,000 cases on a day or so back then. It is very low now.
    May not always be. But tis now.

    The state I'm in has a similar number of deaths as Ireland with 1505, but has 69,228 recorded cases, and even that is still multitudes less than the actual number according to the CDC estimates. Theres no doubt that Irelands (and everyone elses) case numbers are significantly under reported.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,271 ✭✭✭mr_edge_to_you


    Could you say why?

    No - unfortunately the poster is lost for words.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,605 ✭✭✭2ndcoming


    So if 51% are 'known clusters and close contacts', call that 110, 19 are community transmission, 88 are clearly foreign travel associated unless I'm missing some fourth possible source??

    Why don't they announce it accordingly I wonder?

    Just means they haven't been investigated by the time the press release is put together, nothing else
