    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
    There's actually very little statistical evidence in this country to suggest restaurants/pubs caused any issue at all tbf.
    Less than 90 clusters nationwide in restaurants, cafes, retail stores and pubs combined, since the beginning.

    Is that the preventative intended for those who cannot get the vaccine?

    Because of the restrictions. :rolleyes:

    Or the illness is just not that serious.

    We’ve had thousands of cases over the last 2 months and only a small number in hospital.
    Most of whom picked up Covid in hospital.

    So restrictions haven’t done much.

    Which part do you disagree with?

    We’ve had thousands of cases. Surely you don’t disagree?

    275 in hospital. 32 in ICU. Small numbers compared to the thousands of cases. I doubt you’d disagree?

    A lot of those hospitalisations are people that caught Covid in hospital. They are not primarily there due to Covid.

    Struggling to see what you disagree with...

    How about you look at swab data and come back to me? Dope


    I still think HSE staff are playing you guys on this Swabs v Cases, they are having a right laugh.

    Remember the guy used to leak the beer numbers early then stopped, likely someone in HSE was reading this thread and who ever it was leaking was was asked to stop.

    This is like arguing you dont need brakes in your car cos you havent crashed yet.
    What would the case and hospitalisations be without restrictions...
    To try to spin that as restrictions havent done much???

    I think everybody needs to learn to love again.

    To hold one another.

    To embrace.

    To allow them barriers to come down.

    We will need to learn to live again.

    I’d say he was asked to stop, he was more or less spot on so possibly an internal leak.

    Just makes me think that someone in HSE reads this thread.

    There is no question about it :p I've even uh "heard" of a memo being circulated within the HSE concerning use of social media in the context of COVID19.

    Even the DoH have a scoping team reading responses to and impressions of restrictions, key figures etc. from "twitter, facebook and other forums" - There was a write up recently about this being revealed through an FOI req.

    There’s definitely some staff on this but to know who’s telling us the beers is strange..

    Outdoor dining won't work in December. It's too cold outside.

    At present, majority of COVID cases in hospital acquired COVID while there already (211 out of 275 from someones number crunching on twitter earlier).

    not to mention the pain in the ass of trying to find somewhere for a few drinks. 15 people is such a small number esp for this time of year when people who wouldn't often go out will at xmastime

    I don't think those figures are accurate (the admissions/discharges on the hub) or they are not as simple as we think.

    You can go back to when we had single digits in hospital and the admission/discharge figures don't line up with those in hospital.

    Old El Paso is mucho loco at the moment. Terrible scenes. Irresponsible leadership letting this happen.

    Maybe so. The only figures we have though. The admissions/discharges have been neck and neck for weeks now but we still had a period of overall number increasing regardless which does suggest hospital outbreaks. Here's one involving 20+ patients just recently in Dublin - https://www.thejournal.ie/coronavirus-outbreak-st-columcilles-hospital-dublin-5273007-Nov2020/. Naas reported an outbreak awhile back too, Limerick also having internal issues. I seen another article recently that mentioned something over 60% of new cases in hospitals were being acquired internally, but for the life of me cannot find where I saw it. Staff are stretched. I know personally of one hospital where nurses had been doing COVID ward shifts in full PPE and then doing regular ward shifts in less extensive PPE. It really wouldn't surprise me.
