Thanks. But it says 429 cases not 511 or 531 and they are yesterday figures

What am I missing

429 is yesterdays case numbers

There is a total number of positive tests on that page. If you note the number each day and subtract it from today you see the number of positive tests in last 24 hrs. This does not mean new cases though, as some may be re-tests, but it's impossible to figure out what % are new cases, so it's assumed most of them. This figure gives an indication of the cases that may come this evening. But as we've seen, it can be way off for a few days, creating a backlog of potential unannounced cases, then you'll get a big number of cases announced (mostly on Tuesdays), what people refer here to as "Clearing the backlog"

The timeline was posted only 3 pages back:



The first 3 western vaccines are on target for approval by mid November, with two more due by the start of March, only 6 months away from now.

In addition the first 3 of those western vaccines have already begun production and manufacturing at risk, for the past few months, and have a large number of doses ready to go, so likely if we can get enough to prioritise those here over 65, or ~640,000 people and get them vaccinated over the next 5 months from November-April, that should allow for a full reopening by the end of March, early April and the remainder vaccinated over the course of the following 12 months.

Also both China and Russia have commenced large scale vaccinations of their citizens using their own vaccines, with the UAE also now commencing vaccinations using the Chinese vaccine, this will certainly help reduce demand on the supplies of the western vaccines and potentially increase supply of theirs if the EU/USA are happy with the data provided by those vaccines as the months go on.

Moderna won't be ready for Q4 approval...

also likely AZ won't be 2020 in US anyway... leaving Pfizer as the only show in town for 2020...

The FDA has expanded its investigation into AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine to include data from clinical trials of prophylactics based on the same viral vector platform, Reuters reports.

AstraZeneca quickly gained regulatory clearance to resume dosing in the U.K. part of its development program after a case of transverse myelitis triggered a clinical hold. Regulators in Brazil, India and South Africa have also given AstraZeneca the green light to resume. However, the U.S. phase 3 is still on hold.

The FDA reportedly wants to see data from trials of similar vaccines before lifting the clinical hold. AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine AZD1222 was created by a team at the University of Oxford that previously used the same ChAdOx1 engineered chimpanzee adenovirus in other prophylactics designed to offer protection against infectious diseases including Chikungunya virus, seasonal influenza, malaria, Middle East respiratory syndrome, tuberculosis and Zika virus.


The J&J, Novovax and GSK ones are not RNA based and leverage existing platforms so in theory could have an easier route to approval...but 2020 looking less likely for vaccine approvals...

this kind of unknowingly rampant transmission proves Dr Feenys point..there's no getting this to Zero any more, it's not doable and especially not with the personal advisor saturated government we have at the helm,

I think they're bringing Tony back next week as they feel he should be the one to break the bad news...it wont be received well, if Tony or the milky bar kid breaks the national airwaves to cancel Xmas!

RTE website continues to only publish negative outcomes from covid with no balance about positive outcomes or asymptomatic individuals.

Ludicrously one guy claims to have had no underlying conditions whatsoever yet he's clearly obese in his photo. How can they fail to understand obesity is one of the major underlying conditions a full 10 months into this?

I think by showing the fat lad they are saying fat = more at risk without actually having to say it if you get my meaning.

They've two scare/sob story articles on their site with a date of today. Interestingly they appear to have stopped posting links to them on their Twitter feed so nobody can post any comments questioning them.

They're definitely not doing that with the intentions you mention.

They'd only love people commenting on their social media posts because it gets them more traction. The tone of comments mean nothing when it comes to social media as long as they're coming in. Have you never noticed that pages will purposely post controversial stuff to light up the comment section? Even a steak will be cooked near raw to have people go nuts in the comments.

It is certainly the elephant in the room but few people are afraid to publicly at least spell it out. Saw another post on fb earlier from a woman in her 30s describing how it showed no mercy and she'd been in icu for 3 weeks, struggling to breathe, praising the hospital staff for their work etc. Basically fishing for likes.
Dig a bit deeper and you'll see she wouldn't be out of place as a contestant on operation transformation. May be harsh but its the truth, people need to start facing up to the facts that what you put into your mouth has a knock on effect to how healthy you are.

Also look at the headline, which says "You may not die, but six months of life robbed"

Like people already haven't been robbed of six months due to restrictions? And looking like another 6 or possibly more.

It's a fairly obvious attempt to alarm those who might view COVID in the past tense and an inconvenience to their social life. If you're not in that group it's little more than just a story.

I think they have to start incorporating the CT number of positive asymptomatic cases in the detective work of origin and contact tracing.
Concentrate the effort in these cases with PCR positives <30.
