    We require a reduction of an average of 28 cases per day to get to 100 per day

    Ah thanks clearly I have not been looking in the right places

    So 17% community transmission does not correlate to rampant in the community to me

    Perhaps its a communications issue
    The 40.84% under investigation will increase the community transmission rate once that information is collected.

    There isn't rapid testing in Ireland for the most part. And there is feck all contract tracing. If contract tracing was anyway up to scratch we wouldn't be at level 5, 4 or even 3.

    We were promised South Korean testing and tracing, we got South Sudan - like almost every god damn thing with the HSE.

    South Sudan has conducted 12,044 tests and found 2847 cases -23%, we have conducted 1,453,608 tests and found 52,256 cases, South Korea, a country of 50million people, have conducted 2,491,311 tests and found 25,333 cases

    How do you know they died early due to Covid? Is that known now?

    I will say with some certainty that unless it was a fall or a bullet or a crash (which would not be put as a Covid death or taken off asap) then yes that Covid hastened there death

    Recent paper explaining conditions where Covid survives best:
    “We find that SARS-CoV-2 survives better at low temperatures and extreme relative humidities; median estimated virus half-life was more than 24 hours at 10 \0C and 40 % RH, but approximately an hour and a half at 27 \0C and 65 % RH. Our results highlight scenarios of particular transmission risk, and provide a mechanistic explanation for observed superspreading events in cool indoor environments such as 30 food processing plants“...

    First young person in Ireland? Sadly, that has already happened. I accept that the percentage of deaths under 65 is small but deaths have occurred.

    A 17 year old died in Mayo in May. She had an underlying health condition but her family did not expect her to die when she did. She was studying for her Leaving Cert.

    A 36 year retail worker in Donegal with no documented underlying health conditions also died in May.

    A man from Dublin aged 33 died in April.

    Eight healthcare workers who were hardly in their 89s living in nursing homes.

    Would you agree its important to know the ages of people that died though, they told us back in March. I'm not sure what changed.

    They didn't do it when numbers were low back then

    How can you say that with any certainty?
    The majority of cases don't even cause a sniffle?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 713 ✭✭✭manniot2


    They dont tell us the age of death because it doesnt suit the fear agenda. Plain and simple.

    How is it to be enforced on Christmas Day.

    The government won’t want those restrictions on their own lives at Christmas

    I think they will have big issues enforcing level three for any of December after a minimum six week lockdown

    That's six weeks of not seeing family members, friends, partners in other counties

    More nonsense. Sniffles aren’t one of the more common symptoms, so more often that not it doesn’t cause a sniffle

    Micheal Martin could save us all a mountain of bother by having a press conference after Halloween to explain to the nation (preferably with a tear rolling down his cheek) that Santa isn't an essential worker . . .

    Or that Santy is self isolating at the North Pole, along with all his helpers. :eek:

    (Am a Dub and we always called him Santy, not changing now)

    Why did they tell us back then in April when the average age of death was also very high if so? Could have hidden it since March then surely if they are as corrupt and sinister minded as you believe

    I have no doubt the average age of death is still very high, late 70's or early 80's . But in all likelihood the deathsin September and October have been a bit younger than the average back in April as nursing homes are protected now. So I dont get this argument that thats why theyre hiding it

    Agree it's frustrating, and curious, but really doubt it's for that reason.

    People in ICU are pretty old too, majority over 65, why dont they hide that from us too then .

    Recess should be only taken when they have no serious outstanding issues, I think if they were told that it would be sorted rapidly this week

    glynn said the deaths in september had a mean age of nearly 90. so your entirely wrong in your assumption above.

    Ah okay I see, hadnt heard that, wonder if nursing home residents are still becoming infected then

    But again, why he would announce that information if you believe they are hiding the age of the deaths deliberately?
