    Are ICU full of peanut allergy patients? Pandemic of peanut allergy.

    Are ICU full of covid patients?

    Which is totally besides the point. Because its not in any way related to the question why we're dragging up single case stories. You have no good answer you so give what you think is a 'smart' answer. Only its not.

    How many other winters do we have to cope with a killer virus that cripples and maims people for life if it doesn't kill them ?

    To be fair, we have the seasonal flu every year, there is RSV in paediatrics etc.

    33,000 known cases in Ireland, he is one of a very rare number of young people who contracted the virus and suffered to the degree he did. Btw he's back at work several weeks now. You're very good at ignoring questions yourself. I asked you the same question twice but you refused to answer. I won't remind you of what it was save you ignoring it a third time.
    You are not bad at ignoring questions yourself.
    Did you ever respond to my query if what exactly willfully naive means?

    Also on your accusation if me having to Google pims, I didn't have to do that. Like any good parent I read up on all new threats to my kids. I have been aware about pims for months. And fyi, it's similar to but not Kawasaki disease.

    Queue the auto repsonse: You are just ignoring the risk/cases/numbers in IC/u etc etc

    Just for clarity - the 52% is 57 hospitalisations from 3028 cases in under 65's. 341 cases in over 65's have 53 hospitalisations

    I suppose this is a big positive. We are shielding the most vulnerable.

    Oh FFS here we go again.

    At risk of what? double lung transplant? Diabetes? ICU?

    No not true we are no ALL at risk.
    Gonna go out on a limb and guess they meant at risk of catching Covid-19.

    Sure we are all at risk of catching worse things than Covid

    I don't think that brings clarity to my point at all.

    But thanks for sharing.

    How about 0.8% of cases in under 45's resulting in hospitalisations?

    Every winter, it's just Covid has stolen Influenzas limelight this year.

    We don't have a vaccine, we are all at risk.

    Genuinely impressed you've been able to keep up this level of hysteria and nonsense for as long as you have.

    Don't bother looking into this thread as much as I did a few months ago but it's good to see you're still finding outliers to wail about.

    I've have added: yet
    You can see by France and the UK that they get really low deaths for months, but they they are picking up. I excluded Spain as their reporting is a little over the place.

    There's many factors that will come into play, just how long it takes to creep into the older generation, once they happens, deaths will creep up. Hopefully no way near close to the first wave.

    I know Iran, Israel and Australia had record numbers of deaths (over 3x the amount) when they reached their second peak (some are still going through it). I'd assume it was down to spreading into the older generation/at risk population.

    Situation for most of Europe is definitely different this time. Opening back up will cause cases to rise, but it's going to be impossible to protect the at risk indefinitely.

    Lets take some good news. The Netherlands have had well over 60% of their cases in the last 2 months but only 1% of their deaths have occurred in the same timeframe.

    Evidence = I say it happened.

    Fair enough

    Every single case in Dublin was caused by people who weren't born here.

    There isn’t a CSO report on it.
    But it happened.



    Ok so.

    Re. Reinfection more cases, more details and more being investigated.
    15 now documented and detailed.

    That ECDC report was fairly interesting. Hinted at differing genomes being the main difference.

    I would have thought considering you like to protray yourself as an intelligent person ,so I assumed you could work out what 'willfully naive' means. These are not obsure words with an arcane meaning.
    I didn't say Kawasaki disease is the same as PIMs but both are an inflammatory disease which affects children in very rare cases. Thanks for admitting you had to research PIMs, you just didn't use Google. ;-)
    Edit
    Researching everything that may impact you child is not the sign of a good parent. It's a sign alright but not necessarily good tbh.

    Run and hide. This thing will keep reinfecting us all. we are doomed

    15 cases in 32 million (reported potentially way more untested cases) :eek::eek::eek:

    You must be aware then that our annual incidence of Kawasaki disease is about 15/100,000 and as of any reports I could see, there were 10 reported cases under investigation up to August, and globally there has only been a handful of deaths linked to the condition

    Are the cases at 12 and 13 day intervals not more likely to be false negatives rather than reinfection

    Maybe the reinfection number is massively under-detected. It's only been around 6-9 months.

    Interesting.

    You have to wonder with the majority of cases going undiagnoised and without symptoms at the start of this there could be many more reinfections with some symptoms/mild disease the second time round but only getting a first positive test
    Raind
    Are the cases at 12 and 13 day intervals not more likely to be false negatives rather than reinfection

    They look a bit fishy considering 59days average


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,571 ✭✭✭CalamariFritti


    I dont understand why so much is made of the reinfected thing.

    I dont think its in any way surprising that people get reinfected. People get reinfected with other coronaviruses all the time. It would be a surprise if people weren't getting reinfected in my opinion.

    Which makes it all the more puzzling why the people who are on about reinfections seem to be the same ones that want to hold out for a vaccine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 904 ✭✭✭big syke

    Still out of 32 million detected reported cases only 15 (even taking into account the 2 cases that have extremely close reinfection periods) cases have been confirmed.

    For this to be any concern surely at least what 1/3 so 10+ million more reported reinfections would have to be reported.

    Is it that massively under-detected????

    Doubt it

    Are they the same ones that are pro lockdown?

    TBH I couldn't see the issue with why people were getting worried about a flu in wuhan but I suppose each to their own.
