    What would you do, in you were in charge?

    Level 3 with indoor dining

    Let the hospitals get a bit busy

    Vaccine is here in 3 weeks

    If it gets too busy in hospital go to level 3 with no dining and it will die again all the time more and more are being vaccinated

    Covid is slower than a one legged dog

    You'd want monkeys in charge to let it catch up on you to overwhelm hospitals

    Yes, obviously I would not reference WHO guidelines without reading them first,
    Here is the article in qustion Article D. (I cant post links yet)

    "There is increasing evidence that people with existing chronic conditions or compromised immune
    systems due to disability are at higher risk of death due to COVID-19. Chronic conditions may be
    non-communicable diseases such as coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
    (COPD), and diabetes or disabilities. If the decedent had existing chronic conditions, such as these,
    they should be reported in Part 2 of the medical certificate of cause of death. "

    So you see the chronic "comorbidities" no matter how serious or terminal the condition is are reported as a secondary cause where covid is present or "suspected

    Frame A: Medical data: Part 1 and 2
    1
    Report disease or condition
    directly leading to death on line a
    Report chain of events in due to
    order (if applicable)
    State the underlying cause on the
    lowest used line
    Cause of death Time interval from onset
    to death
    a Acute respiratory distress syndrome 2 days
    b
    Due to:
    Pneumonia
    10 days
    c
    Due to:
    Suspected COVID-19
    12 days
    d
    Due to:
    2 Other significant conditions contributing to death (time
    intervals can be included in brackets after the condition)
    Coronary artery disease [5 years], Type 2 diabetes [14 Years], Chronic
    obstructive pulmonary disease [8 years]

    nope you have not read it. here it is, please educate yourself.

    https://www.who.int/classifications/icd/Guidelines_Cause_of_Death_COVID-19.pdf?ua=1

    2. DEFINITION FOR DEATHS DUE TO COVID-19
    A death due to COVID-19 is defined for surveillance purposes as a death resulting from a clinically
    compatible illness, in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative
    cause of death that cannot be related to COVID disease (e.g. trauma). There should be no period of
    complete recovery from COVID-19 between illness and death.
    A death due to COVID-19 may not be attributed to another disease (e.g. cancer) and should be
    counted independently of preexisting conditions that are suspected of triggering a severe course of
    COVID-19.

    T Around half the alleged Irish covid deaths had chronic heart disease for example.
    Don't almost half of older Irish people have cardiovascular disease anyway(I think?)?

    So if you took, say, the number of road deaths in the same age group, about half of those allegedly killed by being run over by a bus would actually also have had heart disease?

    I just provided a direct quote from the document itself displaying a sample death certificate listing "suspected" covid and pneumonia as the c.o.d. in part 1
    and chronic pulmonary disease and diabetes in part 2. This case is counted in the covid death statistics.. exactly as I stated originally.
    I will leave it to others to make up their minds as you seem incapable of processing simple information.

    i gave you the exact definition from the WHO for what should be counted as a COVID death and you are ignoring it. why?

    I disagree with this.
    I posted a while ago how my sister who works in a hospital and wears masks, came in contact with a doctor who had covid. She reckons there was more than 2 metres between them. They were both wearing a mask and another doctor was between them also wearing a mask. My sister was tested 3 times in 7 days all negative tg. On the other hand. I spent over an hour 2 days running with a child who was covid positive, I had a mask child didn't and we were sitting about 90cm apart, either side of a desk. I was not considered a close contact. Public Health Consultant Dr, Abigail Colllins HSE has stated they are very conservative when identifying school close contacts. Another public health consultant on Twitter made an argument tha this was because who would mind the child if both parents are working and child has to isolate.

    Your sister wouldn't have been considered a close contact per the hospital criteria, however, since hospitals have the capacity to test in house occupational health can refer people who want a test as a precaution. It's obviously different within a school, as they don't have in house laboratories conducting covid testing.

    Lockdowns do not work. We need to live with this until the vaccine is distributed.

    What does living with the virus entail?

    I would presume living with the virus would involve following the guidelines on social distancing and other guidelines to avoid crowds and continue with hygiene measures and isolate when sick and restrict movements if identified as a close contact of a confirmed case in case you develop the infection as pass it on to others during the incubation period.

    That's what living with the virus is all about. Unfortunately part of the population has proved that they can't follow the guidelines and live alongside the virus. That part of the population wants life back to the way life was. The parts of the population who gathered in pubs when they reopened and gathered in other indoor crowds, is the reason the virus increased in the population and is the reason we have a lockdown again.

    The lockdown is working at bringing down cases. We had 1000+ cases back in October. We now have daily cases of around 350.

    The plan for the vaccine roll out is to vaccine those most at risk first and that would be nursing home residents and healthcare workers.

    Ireland cannot led the infection rates rise again or it will jeopardise the vaccination of the groups mentioned above. My understanding is that the vaccine will be 2 injections, 28 days apart. If infection rates rise again in the population, then the groups of people in line to receive the vaccine soon, are at risk of contracting the virus in the weeks between the first and second injection.

    So I went to my appointment in James's yesterday. Arrived 5 minutes before my time slot (14:50). I was called five minutes later. I was having a pint at a quarter past 3.
    I've never seen James's so quiet and never had a faster appointment.

    I get, and mostly agree with, your point re sources/data etc., but at the same time the virus spread didn’t increase because people were staying apart.

    My own opinion is that it’s likely not one particular thing and is a bit like the old marginal gains in sports - a little bit of everything everywhere. Too many got complacent/tired/bored.

    So no. You can't back up your claim that people who went to the pub caused the spread.

    Thanks for proving my point


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 938 ✭✭✭Steve012


    Decision time approaching......keep cases high as possible....mis-report case positivity rate

    I don't follow that Mick, what you mean man?

    That's right. It's not published but every dog in the street knows it will be healthcare workers and those vulnerable in nursing homes will be vaccinated first and maybe older people over 70s in the population.

    The covid vaccination will go to **** if there's rising infection rates.

    I fully agree with you

    What I absolutely detest are posters who blatantly lie about stuff like this as the poster claiming it was All the people who went to pubs caused the increase which led to lockdown did

    I saw the AZD1222 video, I thought they get both injections within mins of each other? Could be just simplified for the quick info video.
