The new daily numbers thread

Mod warnings:

Please interact in a civil manner
Do not tell others what to do, or what to post
It is against site rules to seek or offer any medical advice. Please do not post here about your symptoms asking what to do. Contact your doctor by telephone and they can advise you as appropriate
If you have a problem with a post report it and leave the modding to the mods

In terms of thread content:

Treat everything you read here with caution. Anything posted is from an anonymous internet poster. You cannot assume anyone has any "specialist" knowledge whatever they claim
Statistics are important to some (and I personally pay a lot of attention to them), but they are of very little use to anyone who is already caught up in this, or indeed knows of people who are caught up
Whatever your own views are please recognise others are entitled to different views., Even if at different extremes please do not try and repeatedly ram your views down the throats of those who have differing views
Cut out any cover-up/conspiracy stuff. If you have a reliable source quote it (not just their words but provide a link to a reliable source) - otherwise your claims carry little if any weight. If you wish to discuss conspiracy theories we have a dedicated forum for that and it’s not this one
If the likes of the HSE have a verified Twitter account we can assume what they post is accurate. Randomers on here or elsewhere cannot be considered "official" or "reliable" sources
If people wish to flout the restriction rules that is up to them. They cannot complain at the consequences, be that direct action from the authorities, exposure in Social Media (not here) or being shunned by locals, friends, family etc. If they post about it here, or encourage others to flout the rules, trying to appear macho, or thinking they are above the rules or simply being a smart arse, posting privileges will be removed
If you don't want to see discussion about Trump perhaps stay clear of this thread between the hours of 22:00 and 01:00. This is a thread for "breaking news" so please do not expect posters to discuss things happening "now" in other threads. It's not discouraged but equally posters expect to discuss such issues in this thread (added 14/04/20)
There is absolutely no good reason to try and forecast or predict daily numbers, so do not do so
It should be noted that this is the main thread for Covid-19 discussion in the forum. Naturally there will be some overlap with other topics that have dedicated threads. For more in-depth discussion these threads should be used but discussing as an eg; schools or vaccinations which occurs naturally in the course of discussion is perfectly fine in this thread too.
Drop the cervical cancer discussion - if you want to discuss it, go and start a thread on it in an appropriate forum. Doing it here will get you threadbanned, there have been more than enough mod warnings over it at this point.

Added 09/12/21
We get the fact some of you bare dissatisfied with the performance of the Chief Medical Officer, NEPHT, members of the Government and indeed some of the experts you may pay attention to on TV, radio or indeed the print media

We also get the fact that some of you like to let off steam in this and indeed other threads in the forum

However repeatedly stating your dislike/hatred of such people and abusing them here is not only irritating to posters who like to interact in a civil manner, but it's also highly offensive to the individuals in question. Can posters just refrain from resorting to such commentary as it not going to achieve anything beyond winding up (ie trolling) other users and attracting mod attention

I am copying this warning into the Relaxation of Restrictions thread. but it applies equally across the forum

All threadbans carry over, but we will reconsider if anyone wishes to discuss it further via PM

Covid passport to be required for nightclubs and other large venues in UK by September, strange announcement for their so-called 'Freedom' day.

No, there is a smallish percentage of cases in France caused by Beta (maybe 6% or so?). It will be interesting to see if Beta is outcompeted by Delta, or if the vaccination programme confers a selective advantage on Beta.

As of 11 July the highest rate of hospitalization was in the 75-84 and 85+ age groups.

Seems like they people who need vaccines to protect them from covid are ending up in hospital anyway

And the ones who won't end up in hospital are being coerced into getting one anyway

No vaccine is 100% effective.

That said without them you could probably add another zero the number of hospitalizations today.

Apologies if this has been covered already. On the COVID app updating the numbers daily the 'admissions' over the last numbers of days (3-4 from recollection) has been 0 yet the numbers in hospital is increasing.

Is it fair to say that the cases are being spread in the hospital and it is therefore not COVID that has the 101 people as of today in hospital? Or am I (quite possibly) completely misreading/interpreting something?

Chris_5339762

Thats an abysmal error.

Expect RTE to be drooling over it.

Swaine

Worrying thing is this guy went on the give an explanation as to the 60% figure. Wasn't just a slip of the tongue. Likely scared a few folk too with his nonsense.

But just like Beacon CEO. nothing will happen. Move on, nothing to see here. All very Irish.

There are still problems with the numbers in the covid app due to the IT hack. Wouldn't read too much into 0 figures at the moment

[Deleted User]

So in the uk 60% of hospitalisations are in the 33% not double dosed who were very unlikely to go to hospital anyway.

40% are in the 67% double dosed.

90%+ of pre vaccine hospital admissions were over 40, not to mention the very old who were never sent to hospital which should they have been would probably have pushed it to 95% plus.

Looks like the vaccines are highly successful

Hospital numbers down to 91 at 8pm of which 26 are Mayo (15) and Letterkenny (11)

HSE evening hospital report out:

In Hospital: 91 (-4) - A week ago: 60

In ICU: 20 (-2) - A week ago: 16

Looks like the Mayo hospital outbreak may have be stopped, no new positive cases there in the past 24hrs.

You look at Philip Nolan’s thread on Twitter? Fails to mention the outbreaks in Mayo and Sligo which drove the numbers up and he failed to wait 30 mins for an updated operations report from the HSE….

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117634611#Comment_117634611

You can see in England how slow it's spreading into the 60+ age group, which for the most part would be all double jabbed. Only ~5% of new cases are in the 60+, pretty amazing stat!

Professor Moriarty

Good analysis here as to why vaccinated people are being hospitalised and are dying.

https://www.theguardian.com/theobserver/commentisfree/2021/jun/27/why-most-people-who-now-die-with-covid-have-been-vaccinated

TLDR, the vaccine is not perfect but very effective. And don't be very old.

I know the Mayo outbreak was well publicised, but they never like mentioning it, they are rarely positive, apart from Paul Reid.

Ran some numbers today. Based on the entire pandemic so far the ratio of daily hospital inpatients to daily cases has been between 1:1 and 1:5, mostly close to the lower number. It’s currently 1:12.

Portugal hospital admissions levelling off, hopefully the number in hospital levels off.
