Covid 19 Part XXXV-956,720 ROI (5,952 deaths) 452,946 NI (3,002 deaths) (08/01) Read OP

I'm very confused, the papers' findings are a coordinated misinformation campaign?

What is your point?

touched a nerve have I ? I would suggest it’s certainly a thing going by my own experiences....

Some great twisting of the facts there.

This place has become a cesspit of misinformation.

"Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has said the Government is considering a dedicated campaign on vaccinations to reach out to communities who do not speak English."

Another bit of a drop in the nightly hospital numbers tonight.

470 last night

487 this morning

460 as of 8pm tonight

Nphet presented a deteriorating picture around Covid-19, showing a “significant rise” in the number of people being admitted to hospital and a “sharp increase” in ICU admissions. There were six new admissions to ICU on average every day, as the number in critical care reached 101 with 503 people in hospital with the disease.

The number of new cases had risen to more than 2,000 cases a day from 1,100 three weeks ago. Dr Ronan Glynn said last week there were 14,000 new cases of Covid-19, the fourth highest weekly number of new cases, with the three previous highs recorded in the third wave in January.

There were 67 newly-notified deaths in the past week with three to five deaths reported a day on average. A total of 164 deaths have been reported for September and 116 for October.

Dr Glynn said these were “very significant mortality figures” but would “be significantly higher, unfortunately” as more deaths are notified for this period.

The above is from the Irish Times today. I read a lot of selective use of data. In terms of broader society, how can Governments/mainstream media criticise the likes of Facebook and anti Vaxx groups and so forth when they also use selective data to make a case…

Yes, outrageous the way they factually reported on a programme to reach non vaccinated non English speakers which seems to be supported by representatives of those groups. Also the way the report quotes detailed figures explaining the issue is a further example of the Meeja being, well, outrageous.

Again a load of rubbish in that reply from you Amadan . Nothing grounded in fact just a complete load dumped on me with no post quoted to back this nonsense up .

You of course hide behind numbers pre vaccine when the infection was primarily most serious in the aged and certainly not in the young previously healthy .And you aggregate the case numbers of those under 44 to try to make your completely incorrect point .

I am stating a fact that 25% of our present cases in ICU are young people under 40. And unvaccinated , which is the point ..not an aggregate of numbers over a year , but now at this particular moment .

As to the rest just showing where you are coming from as someone struggling to score points against another poster , i have no idea what the hell you are talking about tbh, so will leave you to your fabrications .

Are you outraged at the prospect of RTÉ getting another wedge for running these ads?

Do you honestly believe these non English speakers even watch RTÉ?

Do you honestly believe that running ads in their native language will make any difference, do you think they are oblivious to the availability of vaccines?

How come they have all figured out they need to wear a mask if they no comprende?

This is pure covid theatre pumping more money down the drain.

A very interesting development. Looking for scapegoats. Suspect just testing the waters to see if such an immigrant blaming strategy might be an option. Foreign language "information" campaign also being rolled out.

Cancer surgeries at risk as hospitals fight another Covid-19 surge

This is simply not good enough. The numbers in hospitals across Ireland do not justify these kind of horrific cancellations on people who may already have delayed diagnosis. Once again the HSE & Government have failed to provide an adequate health service.

When Paul Reid, NPHeT & Government said down to make a winter plan….(am actually wondering at this stage did they even do this) - what sort of maximum numbers of Covid patients were discussed as being problematic.

Those bleedin anti vax immigrants

We wouldnt need a better one if consecutive governments hadn't gutted it, and ignored all warnings about the upcoming bed crises

Why does it matter if the poster is vaccinated? Is that any of your business?

Speaking of hospital numbers, down another 6 today to 481.
