    i find it bizarre that when outliers like sweden and florida pop up some people seem to almost wish that they fail or that their policies backfire out of petty vindication. yet when places when new zealand and taiwan are brought up these same people seem to act as if they're the promised land and jacinda arderns toenail clippings cure cancer

    How many people did they say would be dead this time last year can anyone remember? Was it like 800,000 or something?

    The only thing consistent about this pandemic is how off the modelling has proven to be...it's useless.

    Our health authorities haven't planned for anything that I can see, which is why they want us in lockdown level 5 for as long as possible.

    WE have 11,000 beds in our hospitals, we are headed to a level of about 400 beds per night with Covid not even because of covid)...but those maths don't strike fear into people so we will use other more terrifying maths.

    No one wants "us in lockdown level 5 for as long as possible"

    That's just conspiracy level stuff tbf.

    The aim is to get the number of infected cases down. It has been estimated that approx nine weeks is required to do that at current rates of reduction. But it has not been said that the restrictions will be at level 5 up to that point in time.

    Last year following the peak in April 2020 - restrictions were reduced and then increased in October as the rate of infection fell and then rose again.

    Covid-19 is a dynamic and evolving situation. At present modeling is based on current trends. This year and to date the rate of infection has decreased from the peak on the 8th of January. It is now estimated it wil take approx 9 weeks to get the number of new cases down to between 100-120.

    Where exactly are you getting your 400 beds per night figure? And when do you think that figure will be reached?

    :pac::pac: That made me laugh...

    They've been indoctrinated to believe that Ardern is some kind of wizard/God of some sort, been going on for years...most of them couldn't name another NZ Premier.

    When a Government or Governments abandon scientific and medial best practice, you need to batter the nation into believing you are doing the right thing...Sweden and Florida (and others) are to be shamed because they are successful outliers...after this winter surge recedes, the more well run states will be following them, the rest, like ourselves, will double down on the anti scientific, inhuman, economic and socially destructive lockdown polices

    Severe Lockdowns = Very good compliance to be commended in media
    No Lockdowns = Right wing nutters. (Tegnell was accused at one stage as being a right winger) to be shamed in media

    Odd that question gets religiously dragged up every few days.

    I posted this previously

    I believe those figures were worst case scenarios.

    How many cases were prevented by observing hygiene and distance regulations?

    How many cases prevented by restrictions on movements?

    Looking at other countries like Italy who were unfortunate to be one of the first European coutries to be hit we can have a fair idea.

    Italy Coronavirus: 2,751,657 Cases and 94,540 Deaths

    Thankfully a worst case scenario did not happen here ...

    How is it a conspiracy, we have been in lockdown level 5 since the 3rd week of Oct, with a brief respite of level 3 for 3 weeks in Dec...and we have just been informed we could well be in level 5 until May....this isn't a conspiracy, it is happening right now.

    Our hospital rate was at max 400 per night for about 6 months from June to the start of Dec...during that period we went from level 2 (3 if you were in Dublin) to to level 3 to level 5.

    That rate will return within a few weeks I'd safely predict, nothing to do with lockdown, we are at the tail end of the winter surge, our immune systems are improving week on week....if 1,000 people got this virus a month ago more of them would need hospital treatment than if that same 1,000 people got it today...it will be even less in those 1,000 people got it in a few weeks.

    WE have 11,000 beds in our system, for about 8 months in the last year, we have barely registered more than 400 beds WITH Covid most nights...we have destroyed our economy just in case!!!

    The government are the ones who need to “double down” on their efforts at this stage. The absolute cheek of them to continue to implore us to dig deep and try harder when new variants are being imported here weekly. How did they get here? It’s not down to us as we can’t travel 5k from our homes without getting fined. We are the ones responsible for getting the numbers down but new variants popping up like whack a mole through no fault of ours, and we will be the ones who are punished for the rise in cases. The horse manure they’re coming out with

    Perhaps look to why restrictions were brought in and why they were reduced last year.

    We are currently on the downward trajectory of the most recent outbreak. A reduction in restrictions followed our previous peak in 2020 and restrictions were increased / reintroduced in October as infection rates rose.

    But more importantly - no we haven't been told "we could well be in level 5 until May."

    What was said that the restrictions may be maintained up to some point in April in order to get cases below a critical level
    Varadkar: Taoiseach did not say Level 5 would last until May

    First of all not all hospital beds are designated Covid beds. Covid wards and ICU require specialist staff and facilities.

    In case you missed it - Ireland was nominated as having the highest infection rate of Covid in the world in January 2021 - when numbers of active cases in hospitals here also increased to an all time high. Yesterday that figure was 771. It now seems to be declining but slowly and numbers are being impacted by the new strain but hopefully by March / April will be back to something like Summer 2020 levels.

    I get what you're saying about "winter surge" but it needs to be remembered that the highest Covid peak in 2020 was in April.

    government take the minority who won't comply into account when drafting anything and everything in relation to this but also know the majority will comply as we understand what will happen if we don't.

    Here is a graph comparing death rates in US states. The average is pretty much the same, lockdown or not. If lockdowns prevented deaths then the highest bars on the chart should be all red, but they aren't. Pretty sure when all is said and done, the rate will equal out across countries too, lockdown or not.

    McConkey predicted 120,000 deaths in Ireland, now do you think he pulled that figure out of his arse or did he use "maths" to project that figure.

    There have been 4,000 deaths, most of them with Covid, not exclusively from Covid....he was out by 116,000 deaths....this is not a conspiracy, he predicted that himself on national tv...he is still on tv predicting more outlandish nonsense...he isnot the only "expert" who has been out by a mile.

    I have asked here on numerous occasions, has there been one regular contributor (to this mass hysteria) that has even been half right about anything? Nobody has been able to name one.

    WE have 11,000 beds, if only 400 are occupied because of Covid that means 10,600 beds are available for all the other ailments, THAT is basic maths.

    If 400 of them are all in one town, then you've problems, but as we know from last year, that will simply not happen!


    his prediction was based on us not implementing spread control/minimisation measures.
    now whether it would have been that exact number or not thankfully we will never know, but what we do know is that it would have been a ridiculous number but for us growing up and getting a grip.
    there is no mass hysteria, it's a myth, another alternative fact because the people crying hysteria can't face the reality of the situation we are in and what we are dealing with.
    11000 beds includes all the various beds, allowing a situation where all those beds are in use is just not going to happen, controlling the virus is what will be happening and you will just have to accept it.

    The problem with all that is, it doesn't explain why Florida which has been wide open for nearly 6 months now, is performing better than California which has been locked down since last March....with a much higher population in the most affected demographic.

    The same goes for North Dakota and South Dakota.

    The same trends are emerging here.

    Di Santos (Florida) took the scientific path and it has worked out well for Floridians compared to California which has abandoned science.

    Lockdowns are anti science....more and more evidence is emerging, the next few years will be consistent with these emerging trends, always trust the science.


    north dakota and florida are less densely populated then south dakota and california.
    and all states are actually around the same in terms of how they are doing.
    so lock down is still working for south dakota and calafornia.
    lock downs are based on science, and are pro-science.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    we haven't destroyed our economy at all, our economy is still very much going and quite well considering.
    we have certainly shut down parts of it, parts which due to their nature are not required right now and which are higher risk in terms of spread, but the reality is that what we have shut is not actually the bigger contributer, it is the parts remaining open which are the biggest contributers.

    Is it? Do you do those things? How odd. But no matter personally I reckon ideas such as being kept in lockdown level 5 for as long as possible "is conspiracy level stuff. And take note that's the idea which is of conspiracy level as it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. I'd suggest you drop the stirring spoon before it hits you.

    North and south Dakota have extremely similar population densities, one is 10 people per square mile, the other is 11. Florida has a higher density than California! What you're saying just isn't true. You're trying to twist facts to make it seem like restrictions made any difference.

    Also, North Dakota didn't "lockdown ". They brought in a mask mandate and capacity limits to bars etc, the latter of which have now been loosened. Again with the twisting of facts. Despite this they still had the exact same results as lockdown and mask free South dakota. Not sure how you conclude that they work in that case? Also, California has a similar number of deaths per capita as Florida. Again, how does that show lockdowns prevent deaths?

    Another leak instead of politicians coming out and giving their plan to the population directly. It is saying no lifting of the 5km limit until May? This limit should be the first thing lifted now to allow people travel to the beach, mountains, etc as the weather improves - where they’re not near anyone else but will do their mental health the world of good. National parks like Glendalough just need to go ticketed for access and Gardai presence.

    I never said beds are designated Covid beds...what difference does that make.

    The simple maths is, we have 11,000 beds in our hospitals, for much of last year, and indeed this year will be the same, we won't need any more than 400 beds for Covid patients...someof those will have caught it in hospital....that is the maths related to hospital beds full stop.

    The Covid figured for last March are worthless, we were testing at a pace much different to what we were testing in April, but that is the tail end of our typical flu season.

    ...

    And heres something I posted previously.There were 100k deaths predicted and I agree that AT THE TIME we weren't sure about how effective the virus was at killing people.

    However this is something I worked out last October and honestly looking back on it my modelling back then is as close to the figures we have now.
    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=114966301&postcount=5523
    The death rate from covid 19 is roughly 1.4% (and that's being generous - some sources say between 0.5 and 0.65%) ie out those that have a positive test 1.4% will die.

    With a population of 700k over 65s then that equates to 9800 deaths.@1.4% - at 0.5% its 3500.

    If you want to use the total population of the Republic @ 5 million and at 1.4% that still only equates to 70,000 deaths and that's assuming that every man ,woman and child has a positive test - at .5% its 25000.


    So if you look purely at the figures that currently sit at 4109 deaths then the death rate is around 0.53% in over 65s - I was bang on with that one.

    92% of the 4109 deaths are in the over 65s and we have 700k over 65s in the country - that's 3739 deaths in this age group - Again back in October I was almost spot on.

    For McConkey to have been correct we would have to have a death rate of 2% and for us to reach his number of 100k deaths every single person in the country would have had to been tested positive for covid.
    The actual death rate as a percentage of the total population is only 0.08%
    ie 4109 as a percentage of 5 million.

    So if you look at where we are now and all of our over 65s and vulnerable people are vaccinated then we should have almost zero deaths when they are all vaccinated.

    We may still have high case numbers but this virus kills old people and vulnerable people so we vaccinate them and get the country open up again by May and open up fully. There is no reason to keep us locked down.


    By the way Im purely looking at deaths and not case numbers as a percentage of the population.


    What Im saying is that this scare mongering is keeping us locked down. With a death rate of 0.08% of the entire population and a death rate of 0.5% in our over 65s then there is no reason why we cant just vaccinate the over 65s and open up.

    We don't even need to vaccinate the other groups - just go hell for leather with everyone over 65. That would have the biggest effect on supressing this virus.

    i really hope schools open
    but how can the government re open schools and tell people they are safe when at the same time we cant go 5km for our homes and sites/barbers/hairdressers etc are closed and level 5 is here until may at least

    anyone who wants to live their lives while at the same time showing respect for those who wish to distance and lockdown MUST surely now understand that this lockdown will be here for many more months.
    anyone who is struggling mentally with the restrictions from today please get out and live
    go to a playground, go for a ****1ing run with a mate, go walk in the woods with your dog, go bring your children to visit family in an outdoor setting, go for a game of football in the park. whatever helps.
    remember to show this virus respect by distancing/cleanliness, but dont let the cowards and morons in government make you and your families lives hell.
    only you know how you want to live with this virus - now go do it.

    His prediction was based on hot air, you can't predict 120,000 deaths and be out by 116,000 deaths...taking him seriously at this stage is just silly.

    This nonsense has to be challenged every time ...

    Lockdowns are not science based, there is no science underpinning the most inhuman, economic and socially destructive policies ever witnessed, absolutely none.

    These have never been used in the manner and scale they are now, so no respected scientist or medical professional would be in a position to have even a positive position on lockdowns until all the data required to have a legitimate opinion is available to them....none of them even considered lockdowns like this as a method to control a virus as far as I can see.

    You'd need to have all the related data like economic cost, all related health implications (missed cancer diagnosis for example) which won't be available for some time yet to be in a position to even consider whether lockdowns are worth the damage they cause.

    Di Santos in Florida brought in Harvard Experts in September last and he followed their advice as the science has been established ...he has been proven right...

    Lockdowns are NOT science based....you've been sold a pup if you believe they are, you don't need to be an expert to see you just need to open your eyes.

    Lockdowns are theory that is largely based on Robert Glass model that is again based on the complexity theory. It does not take into account human psychology at all.
