Meaningless going on a single day's results. Their 7 day average for deaths is 44.

Too early to draw conclusions yet but it may indicate that vaccination is having the expected results. They have 74% with at least a single dose.

And just to update your error. They didn't report zero that day, but 28 and 42 yesterday.

Except it isn't.

The advice on not having to wear masks is for those who are fully vaccinated (except places where individual states dictate otherwise)

Currently about 37% of people are fully vaccinated in the US ...

Yeah I know what the advice is. I understand the English language but thanks for clarifying lol.

Just going by what I see all around me, which is more and more people not wearing masks everyday. Bars and restaurants packed. I highly doubt it's vaccinated people only, it's an honor system, no proof of vaccination required. That's why I said it's "effectively" over, not "officially".

Professor Niel Fergusson says the Indian variant is not as transmissible as first feared and it is not resistant to the vaccines.

Nice big number of deaths to frighten us to come then

Along with a huge backlog!

We were at the max limit ICU capacity end of January to February . And that was extended capacity .
If lockdown hadn't happened the situation of ambulances waiting in the carparks with sick patients would have been a reality , everyday .
I don't think the majority of the Irish people would have been in favour of a situation like that running on for too long .

Exactly, most of our data in terms of CFR over the past year has to take into account that anyone who needed healthcare managed to get it, and while there are numbers for hospital and ICU admission, you'd need to also get data on GP care and COVID centres that were set up in Primary Care Centres to provide care pre-hospital.

Obviously it's all hypothetical and it would be hard to work out what may have happened had the health system collapsed, but just running with CFR and multiplying for a higher % of the population catching it doesn't give an accurate prediction.

This is why the "we locked down for a virus with a 99.7% survival rate" you see bandied about irritates me. Granted, it would have had to have been brutal from 80-100,00 deaths, but this was a time when very little was known relative to now.

Where does it say that?

It doesn't but Death reports haven't been included since before the 15th May.
Them not announcing them doesn't mean there is/was none.

Reading through there and noticed Two horrible cretinous pricks being mentioned. Ryan and Aoife Mylysaght are worse then Staines and Killeen. No morals, Whatsoever. Scaremongering. When watching the video the two of them looked a bit unhinged to be honest.

Agreed.
A lot more would have not made it if unable to access oxygen and monitoring in the younger / under 50 age groups too .
It is not only the older people who got very sick .

Ryan has been a laughing stock for ages now, that video doesn't surprise me one bit. He and his ISAG cronies are a disgrace.

I think the point is that they are grand in lockdown.... working from home, sitting out in their garden, enjoying life etc... compared to the people with no job, garden to sit in or life to live.

Well lots of people work from home
Lots of people have some type of outdoor space

Are they 'grand' 'enjoying life' rather than being miserable in lockdown like they should be?

But hey ...



Social media has a lot to answer for tbh ....

Yeah, get that.
But isn't that just begrudgery ?
Does that mean anyone witha garden or a nice life somehow has no right to an opinion ?
Not getting at you because you are just explaining the post to someone else , but its bit shvtty that people are judged for sitting in their back garden having a drink when most people criticising them for that , would normally be saying " good on them" !
Who knows what is going on in their lives , what stresses and mental health issues are behind those smiles !

Again... *I think* the point is.... It is easy for people like this to say we need more severe lockdowns etc... Since it doesn't impact their income or quality of life.

This is funny .
But the level of hate for these ISAG people knows no bounds here

I’m afraid Goldengirl a Professor who makes unfounded, no data claims that Covid could increase the chances of autism during pregnancy is an absolute disgrace of the highest order. This same professor was a near permanent resident of RTÉ and other media organisations for the last 12 months.
Having another member of this organisation on national radio today making further unsubstantiated claims with a presenter clearly on the ISAG side is a National disgrace. They didn’t want any reopening whatsoever at any stage during this pandemic.
This group is directly responsible for giving people false information throughout this pandemic with a huge cost on many people’s lives & were given a national platform to do so. This should be investigated & they should not be given airtime until they answer what their objectives are & why they were using a terrorist manual in their ‘tactics’ to scare the Irish public rather than providing facts.
