The R number this week is estimated to be around 1.4 nationally, but in Dublin it’s closer to 1, while in the rest of the country it’s around 1.6, and possibly as high as 1.8. Holohan and Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Ronan Glynn said that these reproduction numbers are evidence that people are still changing their behaviours to limit the spread of the virus; at the start of the pandemic the R number was estimated to be at 4 or 5.
The 14-day incidence nationally is 206.7 per 100,000 per population, and the positivity rate over the past 7 days is at 6.2%.
244 in hospital as of now 29 in icu. This seems to be similar to the last couple. With statistics you can always juggle the figures to suit what you want to say. The problem a lot of people have no faith in these figures as it is confusing everyone and is meaningless. Stop now
85,000 deaths & what was that 1.9 million cases. That was the prediction back in March.
They will have no effect as long as our ports and airports remain open. All overseas visitors should be made quarantine for two weeks upon arrival otherwise it’s all pointless.
He is wrong. totally wrong, making it up and speculating like crazy.
They really won’t be happy until we can’t even leave our houses
He can’t lose here really. WHEN there isn’t 400 in hospital at Halloween all he has to do is say the restrictions worked. Then start again saying 600 by Christmas and so on COVID19ireland
Ireland will have eradicated the Flu virus by January 2021.😳 All viruses will be Covid19 🤔
400 people hospitalised? This is nothing, .0001 of our population. Reporters really need to start putting things into perspective and stop the scaremongering
United States Constitution, Supreme Court U.S. Dissension, 1) Preamble? 2) Enumeration 'Exception' 3) 15Nov1777 Articles of Confederation Have Power Under Article III U.S. Constitution?
Any stat if they are a success?
Its amazing how you can predict how many people will end up in hospital considering hse just confirmed tonight that 4 out of 5 positive test are asymptomatic 🤷♂️🤷♂️ oh wait your in control of the numbers President_MU thats how you can say this shit 🖕🖕
they keep forgeting to tell us the numbers that are discharged every day
How am they guarantee 400 people in hospitals. ?
Yes but we are in to flu season now as well. Start looking at a better testing solution not the pcr thst can’t tell the difference between the common cold, flu and Ebola,
For anyone who missed it, here's the ad that was ran in the Irish Times today that the government, NPHET & the scaremongering media aren't happy about. I wonder why 🤔
