    How are they? Cases and deaths are declining there. Hospitals coped. The surge peaked in August, the 7 day average of new cases has gone from over 11k to 3k.

    They're so much up **** creek that thousands of people are moving there per week from places like NYC which has non existent levels of the virus but is still shutdown. They must be suicidal right?

    So if 84 cases confirmed tonight we'll have up to 72 cases added into Thursday or Fridays total?

    Here a good exercise to do ,

    If your on Facebook or Instagram go on your feed i'm sure you'll notice its the same people pedalling the anti mask conspiracy nonsense ,

    Then ask yourself would I like to be know to socialise with any of these people in a public setting , I can bet you the answer is F*ck no,

    Fxck no!:pac:

    Discrepancy in the numbers again
    Week total 71,910 should be 71,852

    We will need ~10k cases everyday to see the same situation.

    What data is this?

    Retroactive sample testing in the UK has shown that a Peter Attwood who died on Jan 30th and developed symptoms on Dec 28th, was the UK’s first Covid case. No travel history. His daughter believes she infected him as she had a Covidlike illness starting on Dec 15th with no idea how she contracted it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,712 ✭✭✭Hrududu


    Yes a person who is sick and they use the correct type of mask and take all the proper precautions that goes along with using one may prevent 3 out or 200,000 cases in the general public.
    That’s an interesting statistic. Where does that come from?

    One case is not data, it's one case and a relative's opinion doesn't count for anything.

    Looks that way plus the private testing, could be 200+ tomorrow

    I think we can all accept that cases are steadily rising and percentage of positives from testing is rising. Not inching up, but not hurtling skyward either. That in and of itself is not a cause for concern. The cause for concern would be the R rate at the moment (do we know?) and how many new cases are asymptomatic and whether there is a rise in the numbers in over 70's being infected.

    Does anyone know whether meat factory workers now have to be tested on a regular basis, similar to nursing homes, or was the mass testing a once off, and the factories have now changed practices to facilitate social distancing (yeah right, but I can imagine the government accepting that).

    Minus the 1,055 cases in the last 7 days at least we currently don't have a three digit backlog number in cases.

    Yes it does. He is confirmed to have contracted Covid in the UK roughly on or before Christmas. Whether his daughter infected him or not isn’t relevant, it’s just the only current clue to where he may have gotten it. The same way that it’s likely the children of the first man in France to have confirmed Covid had it too.

    The positivity rate isn’t going up. Have a look at the middle 2 tabs of the graphs at the foot of this page
    https://covid19ireland-geohive.hub.arcgis.com/pages/hospitals-icu--testing

    The R rate was estimated to be between 1 and 1.2 last Thursday. I doubt it’s much different now.

    Considering 1 case had 50 contacts , as per Fergal Bowers today, yes it would be good to know the R number.
    Meatplants continuing with private testing so also would be good to know if any public health oversight on that ?

    One case is really not proof of anything except being a single case any more than the French guy is evidence that it was rampant in France. Not clear where you're going with this except that you look like a dog with a bone.

    It seems important to the future spread of the virus to know the history of its first spread.
    Not sure why you're trying to bury this.

    Glad you are recovering and back running.

    Of course we know it can be a serious illness and if I get I will be concerned and anxious.

    Some of the media however are picking the most extreme cases at younger ages.

    Some people recover quite quickly. Perspective and hope is needed also, whilst still being careful.

    I'm certainly not saying it's the flu and open up nothing to see hear. Hopefully you get back to full health soon.

    If you don't mind me asking do you know how you picked it up?

    We never found out how we all picked it up (whole family had it) but we presume it could have occured whilst i was in the UK with work the week previous to first signs of the virus.

    Now they are no longer up sh1t creek is the correct statement.

    First of all it was "one case isn't data", what next?
    If only one person had ever died of COVID we'd be living normal lives!

    84 cases - 4 deaths

    That's a big jump in deaths if accurate :(
