The NPHET seem to be unaware of 'The Law of Small Numbers' , they definitely need a bit of a slap from somewhere.

Three parties is a fantasy. The essential struggle is progressives vs conservatives. A third party only really dilutes one of those. It's daft that, for example, social conservatives have to align with economic conservatives, though. Those things are not the same. A person's views on global warming...

Well, it's qualified, tbf.

They're essentially acting like a parent going 'if you don't behave then you're grounded'.

If that's the case, we're f*cked.

Just stop with the 3LAs please.

So it's a question of how close the testing is getting to giving the overall picture.

What's the expected range, and expected by whom?

Anyho, looking at the worldometer data it looks very clear that most countries in europe who have gone through or are going through a second wave are doing so with miniscule death rates by comparison to the first wave. Are the NPHET looking at those trends? I took a look at Italy, as an example. Lo...

Looking at the worldometer stats for singapore, they've added 10,998 positive cases since their last death on the 14th July. Not sure what to make of that tbh.

This filler bollocks really grinds my gears. What's the point in spending 50 minutes creating a beautiful, haunting documentary and then spending the last 10 minutes showing how Dave the sound guy spent a week shitting himself near to death in Manaus or wherever.

We're stuck with this until a vaccine

Why? Plenty of counties with tiny case rates compared to what moved Dublin into level 3.

Duff, I don't agree with all of the steps they've taken but the point is that they're taking measures to avoid a worsening situation. Pointing out the current situation is rosy is disingenuous. Duff is in the moany hole sweet spot. He can moan about the measures and when they work claim they weren'...

I note the HSE are citing an 80% recovery rate in ICU for Covid patients which they say is much better than other countries where 60% appears to be the norm (where 80% recovery rate is more typical of other viral pneumonias). This begs the question - do we have an amazingly effective ICU system or a...

The ‘frank, fearless’ bit was epically cringey tbf. Seems a bit of a narcissist.

In all seriousness, any intervention they propose should be informed by the evidence and if it is informed by the evidence then they should be able to present and explain it to the public in a fairly concise manner. When they don't it gives the appearance that they're using armchair reasoning and ba...

Looking at their stats and its not all that rosy, and they have a long winter. Death rate about twice ours.

And then a lawsuit would come in from Kildare etc, and rightly so tbf.
