    With numbers getting low again its a matter of time before "suspected cases" come back in the headlines

    I find it strange that there are no "news" reports on the new variants. It seems like the pressure to open up is having an effect as it did at Christmas. I am praying we don't have an aftershock as we did due to Christmas meetups. Looking at the domestic tourism markets for this year shows July/August being the most booked out months for tourism.

    Wtf!
    Some of ye should just ..switch off the news and the briefings if you don't want to know !

    There have been four mothers who have lost their babies due to infection from a preventable virus.
    Placentitis and amniotic infections can cause miscarriage and still birth from other severe infections .
    As it happens these were caused by Covid .
    Why would pregnant women all over the country not want to know this ?

    I can find one research paper referring to Covid Placentitis. It’s an Irish research paper. Generally it is considered unwise to draw conclusions from a case study. Now many over next few weeks and months we will start seeing similar cases being reported from all over the world. Then we will have more concrete evidence that Covid is causing Still births.

    Genuine question but do you know is there any difference in behaviour in winter versus behaviour in summer regarding socialising?
    People have booked trips away assuming they will be allowed to do so, what will be open to entertain them is another matter.

    The advice has been fairly clear that the risk is extremely low to this kind of thing. There is nothing to say this has changed. 4 cases of something yet unexplained is still very small relative to amount of other births.

    I'd say wait and see and no reason to panic.

    equally I wouldn't dismiss what a coroner is saying but even if true may be extremely rare.

    I don't mean for this to sound flippant but it's outside my area of expertise. It may have no effect, I am just surprised the media is on its usual news grind about this stuff.

    In winter time due to weather, normally wet and cold people tend to meet up inside. Due to the cold etc windows normally closed. Whereas in summer mild to good weather people spend more time outside meeting others and even when inside windows tend to be open.
    At Christmas people were given 3 weeks to meet friends and family , many were responsible although equally many weren't. Hopefully government and Nphet will realise come summer giving people a short window to socialise with friends/ family was a f**king disaster. Lastly I expect come July/August we will be significantly down the road of vaccination with some hope of normal life on the near horizon.
    Don't worry though the media will find something to scare the sh!te out of people with. Some prime examples mentioned here today.

    I might be accused of scaremongering here but I'm not a medical expert. If someone is pregnant and gets an illness they should consider checking in with their obstetrician.

    Id say the same about if someone has covid. Check in with your specialist. You don't have to rush to do it but mention it at an appointment and ask them if there's a risk you should be concerned about.

    Placentitis was the cause .
    My post contains more than one line which you took out if context , but glad you watched the news anyway .
    Better to know about a risk and be aware that there is one so you know what to watch out for .
    Think everyone has stated it is rare , but if people didn't find out there might be even the smallest risk until it was too late , can you imagine the outcry ?
    My sympathies are not with the poor posters here who are getting distressed over George Lee and Glynn and the students in NUIG , but those four women tonight . :(

    Yes but the implication is in that post was all HCW infection which is astoundingly stupid.
    As a HCW I will not accept FB like posts and anecdotes that undermine all the good work done in our hospitals.
    Every effort is made to prevent transmission but it was very difficult to prevent when community transmission was so high.
    Anywhere you get breakouts one of the questions people should be asking is could this be prevented by reducing those infected in the first place.
    Impossible in a hospital environment.

    Lol, will you look at that arrogance, you won’t accept it?! :D

    Whether you accept it or not, hospitals have been swarming with it, due to in part the negligence of HCWs. I know because I was there, got the T-shirt and am still angry with the carry-on I saw, almost a year later. You can find my post of 8th April 2020 and read all about it. I’ll summarise for you here, just because your post just there really annoyed me.

    Early April, I went in to a major hospital for an essential work assignment. Never offered any measures or protections, fine. HCWs all around me huddling together without a care in the world, uh. :rolleyes: ok... Informed that a suspected case is in attendance, ok. Then, a nurse comes up to me, no mask, no visor, nothing, and, in order to pass an information?, she comes right up to my face, and breathes all over it! Stunning stuff, and stunned I was. Just did my job like a robot and went home. Three days later, of course, feeling activity in the lymph nodes. Fourth day, wake up with a very sore throat and wiped out, and stay like that for a week. Self-isolate for two weeks. No testing possible, as one has to have two major symptoms to be tested at that point. Were I not so healthy in the first place, it could have been much worse. But HWCs for the win! And never let there be said anything contradicting that! /s

    Agree with all except if Covid positive or if suspected should let obstetrician know.
    It is a virus causing inflammation which can cause clots or haemorrhagic conditions .
    Any infection in pregnancy needs to be treated / monitored straight away.

    Sorry to be clear.

    The wait and see was in reference to any report.

    Absolutely check in. Very little cost doing that even if nothing 👍

    Mandatory hotel quarantine, wha? One cannot travel more than 5km without a legitimate reason, meanwhile holidaymakers fly thousands of kilometers. Risking introduction of stubborn new variants that are difficult to shift and prolonging lockdown. Chapeau Donnelly, bravo Leo and applause for Michéal. Nodding donkeys one and all.

    That’s an enormous drop. We could potentially see sub 400 in hospital tomorrow before the weekend and sub 100 in ICU.

    We were told that hospital numbers were a key metric for relaxing restrictions. This is definitely helping.

    Don't worry,the goal posts will be shifted with regards that metric,they will be really concerned about some variant,the amount of traffic on roads or the high volume of ATM transactions in Carrick On Shannon

    Yes that certainly will help

    ICU could still be over 50 by Easter as it's slower to move

    Hopefully cases will keep decreasing

    One thing that apparently will be used which nobody in the general public can do anything about is the progress with the vaccination program

    With the supply issues very hard to see us being on schedule by Easter

    Schools.

    The media will lap up cases in schools as some massive event and the public will swallow it.

    386 in hospital when level 5 restrictions was eased May last year, we might get close to that figure tomorrow evening.

    Seriously though, are we not coming to a period of highest risk now as vaccinations increase ?

    Surely the most dangerous period - for those not vaccinated - is now imminent.

    Maybe I am missing something, but should this not be the year of highest restrictions of all ? No travel, no holidays, no restaurants, etc ? At ALL.

    As the numbers of vaccinated increase, we will lose a strong natural restraint on spread of the virus : people being noticeably sick. And so more people will be circulating, dropping their habits of the last year, some either unwittingly thinking they are no danger to the unvaccinated, others, confident that they are safe from serious illness, not caring. So the chance of being infected with the virus will increase dramatically through this year. No great problem if you are vaccinated. But a dramatically more dangerous time for anyone who is not.

    (Cyprus saying OK to travel from Britain this summer if you are fully vaccinated - how the hell does that protect anyone in Cyprus, or travelling with them who isnt vaccinated???)


    Should 2021 not be a 9 month complete shutdown like last April until everyone is vaccinated ?

    No, as it's generally harmless to people under 70. In the 2017/2018 year 4000 were hospitalised with the flu with 170 in ICU.

    Once the over 70's are vacinated it's time to open up, maybe as far as Level 2 restrictions and see how that goes.

    Almost 70% of all hospitisations and ICU cases with COVID were under 70. Opening up with just over 70s vaccinated would be most unwise.

    It won't be a full opening up but all over 70s are meant to be vaccinated by mid may

    That's already 5 months + of level 5 type restrictions

    We're unlikely to even see non essential retail open at that stage

    One thing for sure once 70+ have been vaccinated the pressure to ease restrictions on the rest of society will increase especially as that will really decrease deaths and looking likely transmission in the most vulnerable groups

    To put it into context: 70% of 12914 = 9039 hospitalized
    70% of 1296 = 907 went to ICU
    I'm not 100% sure on the percentages, but it's up there around 70% over the past 12 months.

    This is such nonsense. They can choose any point in the chain of transmission to say X number of cases came from it. Why not the person who gave it to the person who went to the house party? Etc.

    If you're willing to stretch the 'root' of a case that far back, you can apportion blame wherever you want.

    Its all agenda driven.

    Group of girls wandering along the main road chatting loudly just now, neighbouring house of guys just yelled out at them to come in for a drink, and they did!


    I'm sure a lot of students are suffering quietly through the pandemic, but some of them just don't give a f*ck, and are having a great time of it - don't have to go to class, exams even more difficult to fail than usual, free PUP money, and very difficult for landlords to inspect houses or evict anyone..

    It did. But I'll take it from your assertion that it didn't, rather than defending it, that you agree it's indicative of at least some student behaviour being problematic.
