    not serious btw ^ but seems this is the logic pro lowdown campers are using here


    You'll be able to find several posts easy enough to back up that claim then?

    Only in the minds of the usual spoofers who assume anyone not demanding immediate relaxation of most restrictions are automatically in support of maintaining and extending existing restrictions.

    A very long hyperbole, but in conclusion, can we agree, as stated in the official document, that the death toll, in Ireland, was inflated in accordance with the WHO directives?
    I'm not looking for the reason behind, can we at least admit it?


    What is it that you cannot get that there is no official 2020 statistical document for Ireland yet published on the number of deaths ?
    The only official statistical authority for Ireland is the Central Statistics Office. It has been since 1949 and is recognised by Eurostat, a Directorate-General of the European Commission as such.
    Any other figures are not officially recognised.


    Would you agree that when Ireland`s official figures are know, should they be in line with these unofficial figures and guesses being bandied around, then they would show that compared to the official excess death figures of the other E.U. states now that we know their statistics, Ireland would be recognised as having kept deaths from Covid-19 proportionally lower than practically all the rest ?

    Remember Micheal warning us all that the variant was essentially a new virus...that was only a little over month ago...how wrong was he!!!!!!

    The started to lose a lot of people when they extended the severe lock down into March, they did that at the beginning of Feb, they warned us about Paddy's day, Mothers Day, Easter....less and less people are listening...you can see that everywhere at this stage.

    tbh no one is listening anymore. It has just been one mess after another and most people have had enough from what I have seen anecdotally.

    Well guys if you cannot even read and accept what's said in an official document then I rest my case

    https://www.hiqa.ie/sites/default/fi...epidemic_0.pdf

    As of mid April, in line with World Health Organization (WHO) guidance, death reporting was extended to include deaths both in patients with probable COVID-19 in addition to deaths among confirmed cases.
    By definition, such deaths must result from a clinically compatible illness, in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID-19 (for example, trauma).


  • Registered Users Posts: 855 ✭✭✭moonage

    All variants are currently 99.7% similar to the original Wuhan viral sequence.

    The fearmongering around variants is part of the ruse. Clearly something very sinister is afoot.

    Load of beside the point bollocks as usual, you can argue about the principal cause of death with the solicitor and coroner (he should find it amusing that you know more about his career profession that him, but let's not digress)

    Here is my actual statement which you called a lie :

    "you can literally die of anything and if you test positive, you're in the numbers".

    As you well know, your chums in NPHET and RTE count all "covid related deaths" in the numbers. It doesn't have to be the PCoD - it all gets scooped up for the daily numbers (tm).

    I've yet to find anything in your lengthy post that qualifies my line as "bs", so feel free to elaborate on that.

    I'll just leave this here too, somewhat pertinent:

    https://twitter.com/LeoVaradkar/status/1278995351169613824

    We you see del. Thats the thing - it's not a pile of 'bollocsk".

    Just because it doesn't match with your world view does not mean everything else is incorrect. And yes our solicitor friend does not have a medical degree etc. But we'll park that.

    But again you've completely failed to address any of the points made. And you may wish to check - nothing was called a 'lie' btw. But saying I did - is indeed a lie ;)

    And funnily enough I don't have "chums in Nphet" or RTE. I rarely look to either for data or information tbh.

    As for that rather odd tweet you're relying on.

    You may notice its a response an RTE article about a study which assessed the number of deaths that occurred in Ireland from 11 March to 16 June 2020 relative to the expected number of deaths, using data from the death notices website RIP.ie.

    We now know that death notices from RIP etc are not a reliable source of data for deaths. And if you wish to take that rather poor RTE article as proof of something or other by virtue of Leo making a comment on it. On your head be it.

    Interestingly though enough Dr Teljeur Senior statistician / Trinity College Dublin - is contrast to the general tone and quoted in the linked article states that the official figure of 1,700 deaths as a result of the virus is correct and while it may be a slight overestimate it is an accurate estimate and the reality is that those people did die as a result of contracting the virus. 

    And back to your "statement". It remains it's little more than bullstuff.

    For example - If you get hit and killed by a bus - having previously having contracted Covid (but got better despite having a dicky heart) - your death certificate will NOT list Covid as a cause of death.

    You may also appreciate - that Ireland has a fairly low death rate - so if as you claim they're exaggerating deaths. They're not doing a very good job of it are they?

    That link does not work, and even if it did it`s irrelevant.
    Not only is HIQA not the official recognised statistical agency for Ireland, but your whole premise is irrelevant unless you can somehow explain away official statistics for other countries that show high excess deaths that coincide with the various Covid waves.
    WHO "guidance" is completely irrelevant when it comes to excess deaths. Their "guidance" is not going to change those figures.

    So again, when Ireland`s official statistics are know if your premise is correct based on these assumptions and unofficial figures, then would it not show just how successful we have been in dealing with this virus ?
    You cannot have it both ways

    The way you haven't answered directly almost seems like, maybe covid isn't always the principal cause of death? But that would be wild, as they are all counted in the numbers, which is what I actually said in the first place. Odd that.

    What a joke. They only speak up after the EU Commission questioned the validity of the decision. The ICCL are one of the most useless groups in this country.

    Irish Council for Civil Liberties calls for mandatory hotel quarantine to be suspended

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    Those statistics you are talking about are inflated by the amount of people that were reported as death by covid, but in reality they weren't.
    They reported x people dying by covid, but the reality is that y did: how could anybody create a proper statistic if the numbers are/were not correct?

    Well darconio. To answer that- I can read, but I'll ask- can you? Thats a very out of date document.

    You may note the above quote was taken from a study published by HIQA using RIP website information between March and April 2020 and Published in July 2020 and uses a (now old) definition from WHO from April of last year solely for the purpose of that study.

    Firstly the study itself and definition are now well out of date.

    Secondly this is the current international guidance on reporting Covid deaths from the relevant body - the ECDC - and as detailed by the HSPC
    The case definition for COVID-19 in Ireland has been updated routinely during the pandemic in accordance with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) guidance and updates.

    Deaths in confirmed COVID-19 case: A death in a person with laboratory confirmation of COVID-19 infection, irrespective of clinical signs and symptoms (including post mortem).

    Deaths in probable COVID-19 case: A death in a person with probable COVID-19 infection as described in the COVID-19 case definition below

    Deaths in possible/suspect COVID-19 case: See below scenarios for possible/suspect cases which should be reported as COVID-19 deaths.

    All deaths in patients suspected of having COVID-19 i.e. patients with symptoms clinically compatible with COVID-19 illness. These suspect cases may or may not have been tested for COVID-19 prior to death. These possible COVID-19 deaths include patients with pending COVID-19 laboratory results. 

    All unexplained deaths/sudden deaths in residential facilities with a confirmed/suspected COVID-19 cluster/outbreak of illness unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID-19 disease (e.g. trauma)

    https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/coronavirus/novelcoronavirus/surveillance/epidemiologyfrequentlyaskedquestions/

    Now all the above does - is differentiate between laboratory confirmed (tested positive) deaths and non laboratory confirmed deaths as alternatively determined by doctors etc

    Stipulations include that death due to Covid cannot be assigned where where there is a clear alternative cause of death (e.g. trauma).

    And that death due to COVID-19 may not be attributed to a death from a non clinically compatible disease (e.g. cancer)

    Elsewhere it is also noted that there should be no period of complete recovery from COVID-19 between illness and death in assigning Covid as a cause of death.

    And those are the international guidelines Not just here. So if its all a big conspiracy- I guess everyone is at it.

    Thing is Ireland thankfully does not have a particularly high death rate compared to other countries- so if the powers that be are exaggerating the figures. They're not very good at it tbh.

    You can watch it yourself here from 33-36 minutes

    'We've been very clear since day 1 that we've reported all deaths because of or with Covid 19"

    Later When asked about people with terminal illness and a short potential life span who just happened to die with covid he says they do make up a proportion of our deaths.

    What is so difficult for you to understand in relation to a country`s official statistics ?
    What you are attempting to demonstrate is using a document that is not official state statistics.

    The official state statistical authority for Ireland is the Central Statistics Office.
    Every country in the E.U. has one. Recognised by it`s own government and Eurostat as such. Until the CSO publish the complete records, anything else is supposition.

    You have been making much of WHO "directives" and "guidelines" inflating Covid deaths. What the WHO have to say is not going to make a blind bit of difference as to what the figure is. Excess deaths when they are officially known for Ireland will do that. Same as they already do for the rest of the E.U., showing that excess deaths coincide with the various Covid waves.

    If by chance your document is correct, (and on HIQA`s past record I would not bet too much on that if I was you), then it will just show how much more successful we have been in minimising Covid deaths compared to not just in the E.U. but in the world.
    If you have so much faith in this document then can I take it you acknowledge that ?

    I remember seeing a guy talking about how the WHO recently (as in before the pandemic) changed the definition of a pandemic, it used to have a minimum death rate to be considered, which they removed? I wrote the guy off at the time...

    Why would I address any of your points? They have nothing to do with said. I directed you towards the coroner, you should take up your view of his professional opinion in his own trade with him.

    I'm still waiting for you to explain how all "covid-related deaths" ie: the daily numbers Ireland is fed, are covid as a principal cause of death.

    The way you haven't answered directly almost seems like, maybe covid isn't always the principal cause of death? But that would be wild, as they are all counted in the numbers, which is what I actually said in the first place. Odd that.

    From that I take it you have an explanation for all the high E.U. excess monthly deaths that coincide with the various Covid waves.
    If those excess deaths are not due to Covid, then what are they due too ?

    I remember seeing a guy talking about how the WHO recently (as in before the pandemic) changed the definition of a pandemic, it used to have a minimum death rate to be considered, which they removed? I wrote the guy off at the time...

    I don`t know about you, but 141Million infected and 3.01Million dead in a year looks like a pandemic to me.

    What percentage of them have a very short life expectancy?

    That's relatively old, it's a study published in July 2020, but regardless, do we want to keep ignoring the following sentence or do we want to acknowledge the fact that the number of reported deaths by covid is not real?

    "As of mid April, in line with World Health Organization (WHO) guidance, death reporting was extended to include deaths both in patients with probable COVID-19 in addition to deaths among confirmed cases.
    By definition, such deaths must result from a clinically compatible illness, in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID-19 (for example, trauma)."

    Looks like you ignored it

    Well we don't remove virtually all our civil liberties and shut down a huge part of our economy in an attempt to save them...

    This is what happens when you “see a guy talking” rather than listen to reality. The number of deaths does not and never has defined a pandemic

    Good man Raind....

    So the death rate isn't even considered in the definition of a pandemic...what about seriousness of illnesses or infection?

    How do they discern between a mild pandemic and a severe one? Do they bother...we just lock down for any pandemic is it?
