    83 happened throughout January - so I don't know what we can take from the number.

    Covid-19: 369 residents died in nursing homes in January, committee hears

    I believe a lower percentage of overall covid deaths than in the first wave, but still a pretty terrible total

    Apparently there are about 570 care homes in Ireland so a total of 369 deaths in a month means an average of less than one death per care home in the month.
    Most deaths will be as a result of clusters so one could deduce that a majority of homes managed to avoid a breakout -quite hard to do so well done to them.
    The Irish care home death rate in January is still only about 44% of the UK's.

    This absolute feckology. There are people dying today of Covid who will not be reported til a week or more. This obsessive compulsive playing with the reports to make them seem palatable does my head in. All you have to do is look at 1100 deaths so far since the last day in December and work it out for yourself. 84 is our normal mortality number per day. 1100/30 = 37. That is 37 extra every day for a solid month because we had a total ballsup around Christmas.. But you want to frame the highest rate of death reported in one day as somehow not what it is. It absolutely is what it fecking is.

    The B117 variant in the UK (with the N501Y mutation in the spike protein’s RBD) has in 11 instances also acquired the E484K mutation found in the South African variant which appears to reduce the effectiveness of neutralising antibodies.

    Vaccine manufacturers will likely start producing booster shots to improve protection against these 2 mutations (they seem to be most effective at evading immune responses as a pair)

    Neutralising antibodies are basically antibodies used in a lab to test binding to proteins. Those antibodies won't necessarily be the same antibodies are bodies will produce in response to covid vaccination/future infection. They are a guide to possible effects of these mutations. People should be careful about reading too much into these things.

    Great number of cases today, numbers are coming down fast. They will have to be low 100s by end of Feb if not 2 digits.

    Awful to see deaths so high. There are a lot of families in mourning right now, my thoughts are with them.

    I'm yet to hear a decent argument as to why we'd have more restrictions this summer than last.


    Because government policy has failed e.g. they failed to close the borders a year ago and are only starting to do it now that it is too late.

    84 is an average across 365 days.

    We don’t have a similar death rate in January that we have in June.

    Christ, they need to start setting a goal, some optimism. Dr Holohan actually stating that even after vaccinations we need to sit tight with 'public health measures' while they study the disease further for long term implications... This doom and gloom is just going to have people revolt against the current restrictions


    Judging by the numbers of cars on the roads and from friends and family, many have already revolted.

    Oh that's alright then. Sorry, I must have been mistaken that there was a monumental fcuk up re Covid that has resulted in over a thousand deaths in a month and likely several hundred more to come.

    All the days wasted in starting the vaccine rollout in nursing homes is a disgrace, 9 days from the arrival in Ireland the first person in a nursing home got vaccinated. I can see major legal action on the cards when the dust settles. They knew for months vaccines were coming.

    At what point do people getting up at 6am to work hard for a 40-50 hour week just to come home on Friday, to stay home all weekend, to repeat week after week, eventually get demotivated beyond the point of seeing the benefit in actually working?


    That point has already been reached for many. It's not as if this government knows that they are going to do next. The only successful thing this government has done so far is strengthen Sinn Fein's chances.

    Tommy Mescall on Six One: "The HSE couldn't provide figures on how many nursing home residents have yet to be vaccinated." Quelle surprise, that would involve taking responsibility and as a faceless organisation no one person is held accountable. I fear there are a series of roadblocks ahead with such incompetence, Ireland falling further behind schedule in delivery of vaccines and restrictions extended.
