    Nearly 2000 of the hospitalised cases since December acquired it in hospital.
    What % is that of overall hospitalisations?

    https://m.independent.ie/world-news/coronavirus/revealed-the-hospitals-where-patients-caught-covid-during-the-third-wave-of-the-pandemic-40298584.html
    8499 hospitalised with covid from Dec 1st 2020 until April 3rd. So take 10500 in hospital with covid of which 19% contracted it in hospital.

    Which is low enough considering previous figures given at various times

    The hospitalised figures already include those who contracted it in Hospital (so they don't need to be added on).

    The article says that 1972 of the hospitalised cases contracted it in Hospital since December 28th.

    So I guess it's around 25% of Hospital cases since then.

    I'd say December and January would have the highest rate. After which the vaccinations of HCW's should have been taking effect.

    It really looks like the government are terrified of this going to court.

    I'd actually have thought they'd want the court to rule against it.

    It would give them a good excuse for having to get rid of the whole shambles!

    We don't actually know if the hospitalised figures include those who contracted it in hospital though.
    Either way it would be 19-25%

    The numbers given are those in Hospital with Covid 19, so surely you would have to assume they do include those who acquired it in Hospital?

    Is that a typo? I take the point that the Sinovac isn't as effective but it is an indicator of what could happen. Eamon did make sense especially re cheap flights being a thing of the past. We can't live the way we have been over the last 40 years wasting the resources and destroying our climate.

    Not a typo. 3%. Hence the natural yogurt comment ;)

    I’ll stop flying when the GLOBAL climate issue is met with a global response. No point in stopping Irish people going to Tenerife when there are coal plants flying up in Asia. Decarbonising aviation is tricky, but luckily there are many easier options we can take such as decarbonising electricity, land transport etc.

    Ryan was on the radio Friday defending data centres which are of little benefit to Ireland and its citizens and will be massive constraints towards us decarbonising. Meanwhile suggesting the sky will fall in if we build a bypass of Tipperary Town or go to the Canaries for a week. Give me a break

    'it has a 3% efficacy after one dose and a 56% efficacy after one dose.'


    That doesn't make any sense. It it a typo?

    Not a hope was he asked such questions.just let run away with long Covid,variants and ah maybe the autumn if we’re well behaved.the usual auld waffle from the fear mongering zero Covid fanatics.

    Had to laugh at his 'Nothing should reopen until Autumn', and we should all lockdown again to get to Zero like we did in last year.
    No acknowledgement of hospitalisations and deaths plummeting, no acknowledgement of the improving situation in the U.K. where they are reopening beer gardens next week. Imagine trying to kick the can down the road until Autumn when you're going to almost certainly be gifted with seasonality and Covid beginning to circulate again. He also seemed to want to hide behind the 'when everyone is fully vaccinated' line to try and get the longest possible out of the restrictions. It's like they'll use any angle possible to keep them in place.

    Listened to McWilliams this week. The stats he referenced re our ICU capacity per 100,000 people was terrifying and is ultimately the driver behind the heavy lockdown we have over the last year.

    5 ICU beds per 100,000 people in Ireland (same as Mexico) vs 39 ICU beds per 100,000 people in Germany yet we have one of the best funded health systems in the world?

    The HSE needs a major reform post covid. Paul Reid (as great as a job he has done) needs to go and we need an experienced CEO who has managed such a reform in the past to do it. Stephen Donnelly also has no idea what he’s doing and is one of the most disingenuous politician I’ve ever seen.

    Last year people had a sense of togetherness and hope, now it’s frustration and anger.

    Brilliant. If we get a week of cases averaging out in the 300s or below that would be excellent.

    There have been Covid-19 outbreaks linked to at least three flights into Ireland in the past fortnight, according to a spokesperson from the Department of Health.

    The spokesperson said two of these outbreaks involve possible variants of concern and are still being investigated.


    A spokesperson said there is some evidence that individuals who have already been vaccinated have subsequently been diagnosed with a variant of concern.

    Hard to believe we are still in severe lockdown with case numbers so low.

    The illness peaked 4 months ago...

    The over cautious approach continues, lets focus on all the negative possibilities, never open the economy again and hope for the best.
    Someone started a thread about 2021 being a right off, I was foolishly optimistic and said no it will be fine. Yet here we are, 3 ½ months in and they're still finding stories to scare us with, variants of concern being the new buzz word.
    The rate we're going, 2022 will be a right off too if those pulling the strings had their way.

    There shouldn’t be any backlog anyway (unless from today) so looking good for the week.

    Yes, and especially now that people don’t need a GP referral and can be tested in walk in centres, so the weekend effect is lessened.

    That's a dog chasing its tail! They want everyone to be vaccinated but apparently they can be infected afterwards anyway.

    • Lowest daily number since mid-December.
    • Lowest number of new hospitalisations since November

    Both figures from the so-called doomsday master Ronan Glynn.

    Wait a minute, its as if he wants reasons for this to end and not the other way around like some conspiracy nuts here would have you believe.

    Wonder will the state continue to concede? (such as the Dubai two). They are terrified of this being challenged constitutionally.

    It seems that the state hasn't conceded and their cases are going to the court tomorrow.
    In the meantime for whatever reason, they have been released.

    I kind of read that article a bit different to others...My thoughts were ‘We could have saved ourselves so much hassle/bother if we started quarantining earlier - even in January! How many other cases came through the airports previous. Not saying it would have solved everything but upsetting seeing this. Yet they still talk about outside and try dismiss the fact that outside basically is super low risk’...They were more my thoughts...
