    whats story with numbers when was the last covid death in ireland?

    No deaths (covid or otherwise) are being registered at the moment because of the HSE IT hack (per HSE website). So no covid related deaths are being reported to NPHET.

    UK are having over 400 cases in people who have been vaccinated with two doses, its only the start of the 3rd wave their with the Delta variant. While the vaccines are very good on an individual level they have their limitations. We need to be wary here anyway, we have seen that NPHET and Government take a very cautious approach.

    That's said its good to see people out enjoying themselves. Can sense the change in people's moods etc. Balance between positivity and caution is required at this point.

    Just for clarity over the variants. Out of all the 12383+ delta cases in the UK ( as of June 3rd) 126 admitted to hospital, only 3 fully vaxxed ended up in hospital. 83 were not vaccinated, 28 had one shot.

    Lot of fear being pushed in the UK in order to stop the reopening.

    "No underlying conditions", sure except the fact the man is grossly overweight which is a massive factor. Funny how they forgot to mention that.

    Nobody is saying Covid isn't dangerous but this sort of nitpicking the very rare cases of young sick people is silly.

    Yep it’s a huge factor in this, very little talked about it as its seen has fat shaming, elephant in the room pardon the pun.

    Hold on weren't we down to single digit case figures this time last year in the Sun, long before the idea of vaccines became a thing .....

    One the reasons we witnessed such huge numbers of deaths in the US. The chances of death from this if healthy are so small it's almost laughable. Sure there are examples of deaths but they are miniscule.

    I was completely in favour of restrictions after Xmas and indeed last year but this is over with the vaccines and people need to get that into their heads. Life must go on.

    Dont agree, covid isnt some fluke tragedy it can be mitigated against with public health measures.

    Yup, but it is being mitigated :)

    We're at the 400 case mark now for the last few weeks for a few reasons, namely: a higher transmission rate from one of the variants, and the fact that more young people are meeting up. Those two aren't bad things either - - despite the higher transmission rate, deaths have plummeted and that's largely because we've done a good job at protecting the vulnerable through public health measures and vaccination. A non-vulnerable young person who gets COVID is most likely mild or asymptomatic.


    As the country re-opens from today, it is important to remember that NPHET and the government are super cautious. They're making the decision to open up based on current information available to them, and on their projections.

    We've nearly broken the back of this thing and it's becoming more evident each day!

    Would we have seen by now if the outdoor parties last week caused any spike? Enough days passed? If there is no spike, does it mean that Tony's absolute shock was unnecessary?

    There have been outdoor parties for over a month now, its just recently they have been broadcasted on social media. Definitely no spikes so far

    Even if there is one, it's the level of vaccinations breaking the chain of transmissions that is at work.

    Tony's fake shock was always unnecessary and everybody knew it, even the true believers didn't bother pretending there was going to be any spike from those gatherings, they went with the noise and litter complaints instead.

    Tony knew full well there wouldn't be any covid related spike, he just doesn't like young people drinking.

    Just on this, I've seen it come up again and again in the threads, is there some evidence that Holohan doesn't like young people drinking or is it just people's assumption?

    There's still an element of randomness to it. Even in that article, his wife is overweight too and wasn't hit hard.

    But yes, I agree. The impact of obesity in terms of peoples' risk factors has been downplayed. Someone I very much respect has been suffering long covid, and on Twitter takes to warning that Covid is a risk to everyone. One tweet said before covid she was "healthy and relatively fit and active". Now, I know for a fact this woman has been morbidly obese for about two decades, and is likely in the bottom 10% of her age bracket for fitness. I don't think she's lying; I think she genuinely believes that she used to be "relatively" fit and healthy.

    I'm not sure there is a concerted effort to avoid offending fat people. I think fat people don't see the danger they are in, and the media are desperate for any "no underlying conditions" horror story they can find. You notice in the Sky article, they're careful not to show any wide shots of him. Face only.

    If long covid and the odd rare death were the only consequences of Covid, we'd have never locked down and life would have gone on as normal.

    It's an assumption. Holohan has quite rightly pointed out throughout this, that socialising with alcohol is a gigantic risk factor because people drop their guard and ignore the guidelines after 3 or 4 pints.

    Since some people cannot comprehend how young people are supposed to have fun without alcohol, they've interpreted this to think that Holohan hates alcohol and young people.

    On the phone so I can’t link.
    Minimum Unit Alcohol pricing is pretty much his idea and he has been trying to get it through for over 10 years now.
    He has also hosted various anti-alcohol events including an international one in March 2020 in Dublin (which he insisted go ahead in full despite the beginnings of the pandemic).
