    Mighty thread on the backlog issues

    She makes a good point about the gap in reported cases but she lost me when she went off on a tangent about PH doctors being recognized as consultants.

    Note not really the time to be completely about an industrial dispute tbh

    You have posted some awful dross on here in the past few months Fintan, utter drivel, excoriating Holohan, NPHET and the fabled ‘curtain twitchers’ and ‘doom merchants’. But even by your lowest of low standards this post is simply breathtaking in its shítehawkness.

    Weasel words.

    I see UK stepping in to help us, we can't help ourselves that's for sure. Where is EU when you want them??? No where .

    Maybe they're too busy organising vaccines for us?

    Numbers are holding same as yesterday. This 9,000 cases is scaremongering from TH.

    I don't think he means 9000 a day unreported though does he? It's probably a build up over several days.

    I'm not sure I'd believe a boardsie over the chief medical officer, credible as you may be ;)

    I have a few posters on ignore list. Thread improved measurably when I did that.

    I see over on reddit someone was looking at the deaths, in the last 6 months nobody under the age of 65 has died from this disease. Thats pretty surprising to me.

    How about the 60 y.o. nurse on Xmas Eve?

    Is this a joke? The disease that is so dangerous to this age group won’t get the vaccine they badly need while it sits in freezers and more could die? All because of Covid outbreaks which the vaccine would lessen the impact of?

    If they're coming out with this, have they any plans to put the vaccines to use? Or just not vaccinate the old and let the vaccines go to waste as well?

    Anecdotally, I'm afraid it's true.

    A friend works as nurse in Dublin nursing home where 6 staff members are close contacts from family members (son in one case, sister in another, don't know rest) over Christmas.

    They've all been tested, but need to be clear for few weeks for vaccine so it's in the air whether they'll be getting them on their chosen date in few days.

    Wonder how they’ll ramp to mass vaccination if they have to endure you don’t have covid when you get the vaccination then.

    The amount of rubbish some come out with as "facts" just because it suits their narrative is kinda hilarious.

    Most of the "facts" can be debunked as trash in under 10 seconds.

    Situation is very fluid, rollout planned before this 'unprecedented rise' in cases, they'll need to move the goalposts based on the game.

    So will we all have to have negative test results before we get the vaccine? And I assume negative ones conducted and delivered while in a room waiting for the vaccine? What about people who have already got the vaccine?

    Becoming clear Zero Covid is the way to go. Especially if this news variant is till less than 10% than cases here. If not we could be dealing with many mutations in circulation and it will could become far more difficult to manage

    Other than what my friend has told me, in that they can't get vaccine unless they're sure they don't have Covid-19 (large presumption here that it's a test), there's not a lot of literature from Irish side on this, as far as I could google.

    However Mayo clinic states:

    "If you’ve had COVID-19, wait until 90 days after your diagnosis to get a COVID-19 vaccine."

    https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-vaccine/art-20484859

    I'm not so sure how reliable the Mayo Clinic are, after all they're an internet page named after a cursed county. :P

    Well if Philip Nolan, the person who models the data and extrapolates the causes that are driving spread, isn't going to convince you when he says the UK variant isn't the main issue then I'm hardly going to inspire you.

    It could be a timing issue though, it’s spreading so fast now and the labs are so busy that the sampling for the new strain isn’t keeping up. I’d be very surprised if the new strain isn’t contributing to rapid spread.

    That’s no what McKinsey report stated /
    It simply outline the economic delta between rolling lockdowns and no covid - it’s disingenuous to state that zero covid is McKinseys recommendation - they will not recommend healthcare strategies

    It’s also pretty disingenuous to reference a report from last April/May

    We opened up with too many positive cases in the community. There have been parties with no social distancing all over the country since then so the increase is no surprise. I know of a spike in an small rural village after one party. Lots of people in a small space with no masks spread the virus. It’s very simple.

    I agree.

    Though I was for an 'open Xmas' before the 24th, the mingling (not even parties, just friends seeing each other for tea/coffee) has led to a surge that's going to be very hard to contain.

    However, I think if government had tried to impose no travel before 25th, there would be foot protests, which would probably have led to similar outcome.

    I think schools should be delayed by 2 weeks to stop spread. We need to take this seriously, it hasn't gone away you know.

    581 in hospital and 50 in ICU. 73 admissions in one day. Likely to hit 100 admission in one day. Unsure if that happened in March/April

    Record admissions. Worse than ever before. 60 was the record, set a few days ago.

    Weeks and weeks of this to go. They're in huge trouble

    It is going to take longer than 2 weeks, anything else is foolish, we just have to look and see what is happening in UK.
