So looking at the admissions

There 50 50 admitted and 53 discharges which is net admissions of minus 3, but numbers hospitalised have gone up 17

Are my maths screwy here or does that indicate 20 people were diagnosed positive in hospital outside of admissions?

I think you are right: hospital acquired

Found out this morning that one of my housemates went to 4 or 5 different house parties last night.

4. Or. 5.

But why?

Pandemic aside, why would you go to 4 or 5 house parties?

I can't understand what people have have been at...

Throughout the Summer and December, in line with restrictions, I travelled out of my county. I went to bars/restaurants. I drank, I went for my walks along the sea. I don't have the virus and never had symptoms of the virus. Fair enough, I was on my own and I wasn't hanging out with anyone but, I didn't see anyone else acting the bollocks.

What the hell has been happening behind closed doors? As someone said earlier, have they been licking each other?

Why, what's wrong with licking someone? Asking for a friend..

Lots of households meeting up for hours Christmas Day and the days between the 18th and New Years?

People thinking three households meant threw different households on different days?

any country breakdown numbers today?

podgeandrodge · 01-01-2021 08:24PM

Is it not fair to say now, regardless of rights or wrongs of lessening of restrictions over Xmas, that with so much now closed down, figures will inevitably drop soon and we'll be a bit more stable while vaccinating progresses.

Previous restrictions have brought cases down, so will these.

Gonna take an age to get them down to anything decent

We are probably averaging 2.5-3 thousand cases a day the past 5 days

I thought the labs reported to the HPSC directly?

nothing to do with GPS?

Swab data is reported through the HPSC. Confirmed cases are reported by the patient's doctor.

I'm aware of seven cases since Xmas Eve.

2 picked it up from someone they met in a restaurant. 2 picked it up from a household visit. The other 3 of unknown origin.

Not necessarily hospital acquired. Some may have been admitted, tested and returned positive result

I take NPHET with a pinch of salt. Several of them, particularly the “front facing” folk, have no or little clinical or medical experience. This is no criticism of them. Their forte lies in the cut and thrust of committee rooms and teleconferences and promulgating minutes and memos and memos of minutes and minutes of memos for ministers. You won’t find them developing a vaccine, working on therapeutics or working in the covid wards. But hey they are the experts. I mean in what real world scenario would you go along with the following: some guy bursts into a room explaining that there’s an emergency coming/is here at present and whatever else we, or other experts, think we should go with what he says even though he can’t actually get us out of this.

NPHET consists of a lot more than just the faces you see every day on the briefings .

Why would someone with symptoms, or with the virus itself, go out to a restaurant? :rolleyes:

I mean...Makes me feel good that I'm not an arsehole but, y'know

How do private tests work? If you went for test and was positive - who is contacting close contacts in those instances?

The person may not have had symptoms at the time.

A country that is home to the tech giants of the world. Tens thousands of people working in the "IT" field . Wouldn't you think the hse would have managed to outsource the development of a better system.

Although on the other hand they have recently said that the growth rate is now far beyond the worst modelling so its fair to say that we are just not prepared for this level of transmission. Remember it's the hse we are talking about.

When this pandemic has passed the hse needs to be gutted and rebuilt from the ground up. Remove the dead weight and give Ireland the public health system we deserve and pay over the odds for!

Quite some years ago I was involved in a presentation to hse on it concepts which had a proven capability in USA in hospitals of driving costs down significantly and also in improving patient safety materially.

The meeting went well and our post-mortem afterwards some of us were very upbeat. One individual said they’d never buy into the system. Why not? The savings were sitting across the table for us says he.

Atlantic Dawn · 01-01-2021 08:37PM

We are still long off the UK rate of new cases per head of population, the UK had similar figures 6 months plus ago, whoy in the jaysus did they not assume the IT system would eventually need to cope with similar levels to the UK figures? It's like we are sitting on a rock with no communication or simple use of Google to establish how other countries do things.

Lets leave the vaccines in the fridge for another month, there may be more valuable vulnerable people to save then, ffs, it's a joke.

No. 9 of those tests they checked for genome over Christmas was variant , said yesterday , by Tony Holohan .
Tbh I don't really know if this represents percentage or just a number out of the air , maybe someone can say this more accurately ..

Edit. Yes, 9 out of tested 90 samples that tested positive for the variant , 18th to 20 th December . (Thanks to wadacrack , post re. Mark Coughlan's thread )
