I see vaccinating is a Monday-Friday job.

Vaccinations take place 7 days a week. This is this weeks report.

So in the last week I have gone from not knowing anyone with covid to now knowing 9 people, the new variant seems highly contagious. 7 of the 9 work in health care setting. ( same organisation).
Not only that I just learned an old friend who I only spoke to last month died last night mid 50,s , leaves behind 3 teenage kids.
He Was doing ok in tallaght till Monday and suddenly took a turn yesterday and died last night.

So they're warning us about longer lockdowns because of variants, yet do nothing about incoming travellers apart from telling them to be good boys and girls?

Who's in charge of the communication strategy for the government? Whoever they are they need to be fired.

Fixed that for you

Shut up you clown.

It says 3k doses for the Monday of a week they are aiming for 100k.

Unless your as thick as you last post that isnt a great number.

As previously explained, it takes time to submit and then collate the vaccine numbers. Many GPs will do them in one go at the end of the week.

You seem annoyed you were called out for your stirring. Maybe don't do it?

Please point out where on the graph it says the data for Monday 22nd Feb is incomplete, so I can apologise for not reading it.

You don't seem to like being corrected but...we know stats lag behind. The child down the street knows they lag,

Just accept it.

The graph doesn't say it, the HSE have stated it. I said it here so you would stop embarrassing yourself further. You're welcome.

Still 6 days to go, stop being so pessimistic

Not sure if anyone heard Leo Varadkar on Morning Ireland. He said they would be looking at trends rather than exact metrics, for navigating reopening, based on 4 tests, which are following:

The Government will assess the R number, the number of people in hospitals with Covid, the pace of the vaccine rollout, and the influence of variants on the pandemic.

He added that government is hoping to see the number of Covid-19 patients in ICU fall to half of what it is now over the next month and that once people over 60 and under-60s with an underlying health condition are inoculated, over 98% of the job will be done,

That's the best messaging I've seen yet. Why aren't they all saying this rather than spouting their own specific takes? The communications department is a shambles.

NPHET seem to have slighty different criteria so no doubt their ones will win out

"The three tests that need to be met, before any significant easing of measures that can be considered are; that the disease prevalence must reduce to much lower levels that can be managed by public health, that hospital and critical care occupancy must reduce to low levels and allow the safe resumption of non-Covid care, and that the most vulnerable are protected through vaccination. "

Be interesting to see their definition of much lower levels of disease, low levels in hospital and critical care and what are the most vulnerable in society

Over 70s won't be done with vaccination until Mid May at the earliest and that's one metric nobody in ordinary society can do anything about

Death toll seems to fluctuate wildly, without any particular correlation to case numbers for the day in question...

That's because the system for reporting deaths, has no direct relationship to the case numbers on any particular day.

As has been explained many many times before, there is a time lag in registering deaths - the figure is totals filed on a particular day, but they could have occurred weeks previously and are only being registered now.

It takes time to get the paperwork together to register a death and it is usually done by a family member who has to come to terms with the process and work through it.

He's telling you what you don't seem to grasp. If you don't want the help then drop the topic after the first attempt to correct you, rather than keep harping on about the same misconception,

No.

He accused me of purposefully trolling and to grow up.

There was nothing intended bar looking at the figures displayed on the sheet and saying it’s not great.

The post wasn’t appreciated or frankly needed.

They were concerned last year when we had 10 cases and no hospitalisations so I think we are fairly fecked to be honest.
