    Sorry, out of the loop here, what dashboard is this?
    Ireland's COVID19 Data Hub

    We dont know the current number of active cases in Ireland, according to Worldometers, no one has recovered from covid in Ireland since June
    That's fair. If we look back over the numbers, there have been ~3,672 cases reported over the last 4 weeks, and 25 new hospitalisations in the last week.

    If we take 1st May as a comparative week, there were 16,553 new cases in previous 4 weeks and 213 new hospitalisations in the previous 7 days.

    Statistically it means we've seen the hospitalisation rate roughly half.

    However, I'm not saying that's actually the case. What I'm saying is that we need better risk guidance, now that we have better and more information.

    At one stage in April we had 880 people in hospital and ~12,000 confirmed cases. And it doesn't feel like anyone in any position of authority has made an attempt to de-escalate the seriousness of the virus from those peak figures.

    Just having a quick look here at the latest HPSC reported. It was published on Friday but is confirmed cases notified up to midnight last Wednesday. I'm comparing it with the Wednesday before, in that period we ave 1156 cases notified so from 2nd September to 9th the increase in cases per age group is.

    0-4yrs - 54
    5-14 - 107
    15 -24 - 220
    25-34 - 228
    35-44 - 185
    45-54 - 149
    55-64 - 93
    65-74 - 64
    75-84 - 29
    85+ - 27

    Hospital admissions by age group for that week,
    0-4yrs - 2
    5-14 - 0
    15 -24 - 4
    25-34 - 0
    35-44 - 0
    45-54 - 4
    55-64 - 4
    65-74 - 8
    75-84 - 3
    85+ - 4

    Deaths reported in the week = 4.
    55-64 - 1
    75 - 84 - 1
    85+ - 2

    It says a few of them felt they had head colds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,751 ✭✭✭✭ACitizenErased


    Interesting to see that cases per day by epi date have still not crossed 200. This is the latest graph from Friday up to 9th Sept. Shows how unreliable the daily case numbers are atm.

    Amazingly some of the staff thought it was acceptable to go to work when feeling symptoms, however mild they were

    I know five people in Cork who got tests last Thur, two tests came back on Fri & the remaining three on Sat. All negative thankfully.

    This is the key chart on cases status, not the daily case number. Unless we were working through a testing backlog however over the weekend, it is highly likely this will break the 200 in the next update

    So we're really closer to our peak in March/April if we go off these numbers as opposed to reported cases?

    We peaked 600ish per day according to that instead of 1000ish.

    Exactly. We have now been told countless times to seek a test and isolate if you feel that you may have symptoms whether you think you might just have a common cold.

    We knew that anyway because the ~1000 was due to German labs.

    There were plenty more days greater than 600.

    Just interesting to see that we're not really that far off earlier in the year, I would have been thinking we were 5 times or so less but that's mad enough.

    The biggest takeaway from that graph is the growth rate

    It was increasing almost vertically in March. Now it's a smoother climb. The climb is concerning but the growth isn't completely out of control.

    Hilarious that people are still surprised by this.

    For the vast majority it is literally a few sniffles. Many of us may have had it already and just put it down to a slight cold.

    We already know that the case numbers are not specific for the day, you keep reminding us of it.
    Even with the numbers not reaching 200 and spread out they are still new cases. It's why we look at the rolling week numbers and the rolling 14 day numbers and they are increasing.
