would 40 in Cork be similar to 156 in Dublin with populations etc?

DraftDodger · 29-09-2020 05:59PM

Wow. Huge number again unfortunately.

This back log bollox is a joke!

All it serves to do is invalidate anything else they say.

I think closer to 100 I believe

Widdensushi · 29-09-2020 06:00PM

Over 100 cases from last week added in again today

C'mon, you know what I meant. If some unfortunate with severe underlying conditions catches Covid, regardless of how 'young' they are, it's a lot different from an otherwise healthy person catching it.

So if someone with underlying condition happens to get covid and dies from complications caused by the virus it does not count :rolleyes:

It would be equivalent to about 100 in Dublin.

It's like HSE keeping an ace up their sleeve to give us a nice jump in case numbers

And that’s what’s happening, I’m in no doubt now. I won’t be listening to people saying ah sure they had to confirm them crap! We know the positive swabs daily as posted. Just over 200 today but yet a nice juicy 363 to keep the numbers at that level! It’s bugging me! Not one f**king journalist has questioned them not one!

Some people seem to love the misery of a lockdown. It's perverse.

You should stop listening so. Put your fingers in your ears and enjoy yourself.

I have long since stopped taking anything they say on face value.

Does this count as the "Tuesday bump"?

Cork is 20 per 100k
Dublin is 12

Roscommon not doing well recently. Louth on the other hand seems to be moving away from any need for restrictions.

ACitizenErased · 29-09-2020 06:04PM

About 100 backlogged cases in there by the looks

Should look at it as a weekly number, don't get caught up in the day by day, though it looks like we'll have a much bigger average this week due to last week's numbers

Why are you being disingenuous? Of course it counts. But your post implied that Covid kills young people, when we know, bar rare outliers, it only kills severely compromised young people.

Is that not skewing things? If those 100 cases were deducted proportionately, Cork for example would be reporting 27 or 28 today and not 40.

It's still cases of the virus weather it was today or five days ago. The numbers would have been collosal last week if not added in now. Cases are getting larger and there is no sugar coating it.

The country needs to double down on social distancing and everyone needs to take responsibility to keep cases low. All these cases and deaths are actual people, not just numbers and we need to stop getting desensitized to that fact.

Harry Palmr · 29-09-2020 06:06PM

Rolling 7 day average is your only man. Too much emphasis on the daily stats for the sake of a headline story.

Do you really think that, honestly? Why wouldn't they stockpile them up even more then and announce a whopping 1000 day caseload some unpexcted evening to ratchet up a bit of hysteria. I really don't get this idea that the government are trying to terrify the population for unknown reasons, what do they possibly have to gain from that. Usually it just comes off as the poster being more very worried themselves and are trying to reasure themselves because they don't want to face the reality of for example a spike in case or they are selfishly dismissingconcerns other have about their health and think those concerns are irrational

You are contradicting yourself. If the numbers had been counted last week then cases would be getting lower this week.

At this rate yes I’d agree with a weekly number, I think a Wednesday should be the day as the majority of the time backlogs are cleared and it’s before they meet on a Thursday to discuss the situation

Why do RTE report that one additional person has died FROM Covid-19 when the Department of health has reported that 1 additional person has died WITH Covid-19?

https://twitter.com/roinnslainte/status/1310987729291882496

The @hpscireland has today been informed that 1 person with #COVID19 has died.

https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/0929/1168148-covid19-coronavirus-ireland/

One more person has died from Covid-19, bringing the overall death toll to 1,803.

Do you honestly believe that the expensive PR people they employ say to them, "Now make sure to always tell people exactly what is happening and hopefully everything will be grand?" It is being managed.
