No deaths is great. How are hospitals looking today?

Just how it works tho, no? If you’ve 6 cases one day they may have 3 contacts each which is 18 more. Repeat

Your blatant defensiveness is hilarious.

For clarity is there a recent breakdown of healthcare works testing possitive...if the got it at work or in the community, or at home?
did their numbers start going up before we saw some of the other catagorys of people testing positive elsewhere?

Donegal has been having a rough time of it in the last week, are they still seeing the effects of the restaurant cluster.

We’re at about 260 cases a day at moment and the reproduction number is between 1.3 and 1.7,” he said.

“If it’s 1.3 by October 14th we think there will be 400 cases a day. At 1.8 we get closer to 1,500 per day. If we get it below one it will tail away slowly but we’ll still be seeing about 150 cases by the 14th of October.”

Some predictions for the next 4 weeks from dr Nolan. He also doesn't want to call this a second wave.

Wow just when I thought there was some hope just 15 minutes later Another absolutely massive number comes in, probably creep over 300 soon. Backlogs or not, our 7 day average has doubled. I don't really get the 3 week restrictions either. By the time we see results it will be 3 weeks so another 2-3 weeks is nearly guaranteed on that.

Only other one is the Daily Mail. The Guardian and the BBC didn't think it important enough to report on. A third of deaths wrongly classified as COVID deaths isn't important it seems.

"The Oxford study found people may have been included in the Covid-19 figures if doctors believed the virus might have exacerbated their condition"

That's saying the ultimate cause of death was precipitated by covid.

Balancing act. Need to learn from past mistakes. Test, trace and isolation needs to be implementation at a more sophisticated level. Mass testing and quicker results would help alot. Proper protocol's implemented at airports. Education about Covid would help. Their is now a cohort of people believing in theories which seems to have grown from the first wave.

Very difficult balancing act though. Professor Nolan said yesterday they’re only going back 48 hours to seek details of contacts of confirmed cases. He said this is to try and stop the virus spreading rather than find out who it was transmitted from. He said they don’t have the resources or time to go back further than 48 hours. While this is understandable, it doesn’t seem to me like a test and trace system that can keep this thing under control over a period of time. We’re essentially relying on international studies and the hope that a vaccine will become available sometime in 2021. Hard to see anything other than a start stop economy in the meantime. How they’ll keep the public on board is another question.

So reduce contacts and presume you have it until there is a vaccine. You realise how crazy that sounds.

No presuming required, we take our cue from the published numbers.

Thats better.
People dont like it when you do positive trolling.
Once its negative it goes down much better.

It's the wrong way to look at it. You should count deaths by a time frame and not just singular days. Deaths happen around 6-10 weeks of having covid so 300 cases today doesn't mean there will be 6 deaths today. Look at Spain, 400 deaths, this virus hasn't weakened.

The might of the LVA, LVF is gone now and no harm either.

They wanted MUP, wonder where that stands now

St.Spodo · 19-09-2020 06:11PM

Much more difficult to stomach this lockdown than the last one. At least the first time we had reason to hope that we were buying time to implement a test, trace and isolate system that would prevent future lockdowns.

Even worse, Dublin is going to reopen in 5-6 weeks, this time likely at level 2, with schools fully open, pubs open and more indoor activity due to seasonal change. These conditions will probably shorten the time between this lockdown and the next one, as it has become plain as day that the state is not organisationally capable of implementing a suppression regime to avoid it. If we get any unexpected bad news on the vaccine front, the government will have no choice but to seriously consider an elimination strategy because 4 or 5 lockdowns will cripple the country.

It is yea and seems like it will a long term battle with this virus. The key will probably be how well a vaccine might work and how quickly it can be distributed.

Link?
I know the time will have increased with the increased testing, but that seems quite long.

There have been a few hundred deaths in Ireland from Covid since this whole thing began. In that time the economy has been destroyed, mental health wrecked, the human face covered up, towns and villages decimated, small businesses in dire straits, unemployment at 15%. And people are going on about a few cases, numbers which need to be taken with a gigantic pinch of salt.

I know I have thanked you before for these charts, but thank you again, as the change to the coloured ones is much easier to read.

You say a few hundred when it's less than a thousand. Stop downplaying death figures, we've had over 1700 deaths not a few hundred..

A few hundred directly from COVID.

Well the top of the page says nearly 2000 deaths so I had to stop reading the rest of the nonsense you wrote after that

We had 1200 more deaths between March and June than the average for that time in previous years, so your few hundred garbage doesn't add up. Where are you getting these figures?
