    Seamus Coffey's latest analysis of rip.ie shows that we are getting close to normal levels of deaths following the large excess deaths we saw in January and early February. Good news.

    Is this what's happening with most who die?

    I know one guy who died recently, just over 50. Seemed in good health beforehand. Really made the virus real for alot of people.

    RTE are actually a joke at this stage... flicking through the channels and saw a face I half recognised on the today show, paused and turned out it was an Australian actress (Home and Away) and guess what the topic of conversation was.... ****ing Covid of course.

    I see Tubs has Bryan Cranston on the Late Late tonight, I am sure he will ask him about Breaking Bad... being in one of the best episodes of the xfiles.. maybe even Malcolm in the Middle? nah... I am sure it'll mainly be more ****ing Covid

    You’d think with all the experts we have on here some sane government somewhere would have come to the same conclusions. The very idea that anyone anywhere likes or wants this is simply batsh1t crazy.

    I've heard before, at least with respiratory illnesses, there is a pattern where people improve, but then get worse and it's not a good sign.
    Heard of this happening with COVID too.

    I remember seeing a guy last year on Twitter document his experience... from catching it to going into hospital, and then after a break in posts he had one to say he was over the worst now after a bad week etc..

    A week or so later his wife updated his account to let people know he had died.

    It does seem quite common that people rally before the end.

    My wife only got her vaccination today and she's in healthcare. The rollout is painfully slow here and i can't see a return to any kind of normality by the summer unfortunately. Opening the schools next week is a recipe for disaster.

    Numbers definitely headed in the wrong direction also.

    Well that clears it up

    A company came out and fitted a front door for me the other day.
    I was waiting since September , don’t know why they did it now and I didn’t ask if it was allowed or not.
    They are a reputable big enough company so I dunno if they were flouting restrictions or not?

    We can see that there has been an increase in recent days of both swab and case count.
    I'm not sure if that was expected, or if it carries any meaning in such a short time frame.

    Might be a good idea to give it a miss, you are upset at the Late Late Show before it's even started.

    I've found it pretty easy to avoid Covid coverage on RTE - I don't watch it.

    So what's your alternative to opening schools?

    If it carries on like that we will have 1400 cases next Friday :eek:

    But... of course we won't because you can't look at a simple trend of 2-3 days and base it on that alone.

    What's your point? It's a downward trend whatever way you look at it.

    In fairness to him he's walking a tightrope between science and government, scaring people and lulling them into a false sense of security.

    I think CdG along with Glynn, Nolan and Colm Henry are human and very conscious of the messaging. I was seriously impressed a few weeks back when he called up Katie Hannon on RTÉ for demonising people travelling referencing people having livelihoods here.

    I get the sense that deGascun’s big wish is to go to an international rugby match, lunch beforehand and pints after.

    Unbelievably dense and narrow take on things. Clear as day trend downwards. "going the wrong way". You can't live on the daily cases with this. Need to look at the overall trend over weeks/months.

    It's still OK to highlight the very recent rise in cases, and have a discussion about it, without dismissing or drawing out the poster.
    You knew what they were referring to.

    And they went up last week too from 645 on Monday into 900 and 800s during the week.

    Again can't take days on their own, everything is trending down this week, have to look at the overall picture.

    Sorry but if someone's saying its going in the wrong direction without expanding on that then are we all supposed to know what they mean, ? It was a simple question to expand on point, nothing more nothing less, thats not drawing someone out.

    This despite all trends being downward. That's going to be questioned

    I mean like there are two options.
    Open the schools.
    Close the schools.

    To anyone on top of the figures, am I imagining we're seeing more young amongst the deaths? 29 year old today, 16 year old during the week.

    I know that it's the trend that matters, but the obvious point raised by the poster was the very recent rise in numbers. Of course, we have to separate out noise from signal, but I just feel that when someone raises concern, they should not be dismissed, but be supplied with explanation to ease the concern.
