It's nonsense.

Scoglio is another snake oil salesman. He promotes a line of "natural living" food supplements and foodstuffs that he believes can cure cancers and sh1t like that.

He is no more a Nobel Prize candidate than I am. Hint: Nobel nominees are kept secret.

Was this the only time nominees weren't a secret?https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/14/greta-thunberg-nominated-nobel-peace-prize

You might be looking at the wrong figures there (though 11 to 17 is still a 54% jump)

On 29th June we had 24 cases and our 14-day average was 12.

On 30th July we had 85 cases and our 14-day average was 24 - a 100% increase.

This is why the pubs were pushed back and back.

No July the 31st we had 85 which was much higher than any days before or after. We had 38 on the 30th. So the case numbers were doubling every month until late August then it exploded. The data is there if you look at it

The article is technically incorrect. A Norwegian group proposed her. It's up to the Nobel Committee who is put forward as a nominee for consideration. That list is not publicised.

It's only a few people on here though. The Irish public aren't like that at all...

But they aren't high figures.

What is a high figure and what is a low figure?
You cannot leave a chunk of the economy open and expect to get to sub 100 cases a day.

What NPHET have never done is quantity what exactly is an acceptable level of cases. We are going to have cases, we need to accept that.
They've shifted the goalposts on what the key metrics were at every turn.

What is a case?
A covid case in a 4 year old is likely to be very different to one in a 40 year old.

NPHET cannot just look at the magnitude of the number. They need to assess availability of health care resources. The demographic distribution of cases. The potential impact of growth on availability of routine health care.

(Among many other things.)

Nature published an excellent article months back about how politicans and news media had become obsessed with case numbers and the r number now cast. These are very useful metrics but they cannot and should not be used to conclude the big picture. Doing so is potentially very dangerous.

Depends what site you look on. Your link says the 29th. Anyway the day before we had 13 cases. The point is in the space of a month cases doubled in a month, once schools opened cases quadrupled in the same period of time.

ACitizenErased · 25-11-2020 07:21PM

269 new cases
6 further deaths

It doesn’t depend on anything. There were 85 cases announced on 30th July, not the 31st as you stated.

ACitizenErased · 25-11-2020 07:21PM

88 in Dublin, 42 in Cork, 25 in Limerick, 20 in Louth, 16 in Donegal.

Not necessarily as was only 190 odd positive swabs on Monday?

Any positivity rate is good. The envy of many countries

38 cases, your link says as of 29th of July. You might read the links you post if you want to be a dick about it

Cases announced on July 30th are the cases from the 29th. That is fairly obvious.

And I have read the link, something maybe you should do as it clearly states 85 cases.

Your link also shows 85 cases for July 30th by the way. Not to be a dick about it or anything.

Of the #COVID19 cases notified today;
•123 are men / 146 are women
•64% are under 45 years of age
•The median age is 35 years old
•88 in Dublin, 42 in Cork, 25 in Limerick, 20 in Louth, 16 in Donegal, and the remaining 78 spread across 17 other counties

(I believe a Glanmire school in Cork has cluster cases)
