If you tell some folk there is a 20% rise in ICU numbers they start screaming for lockdowns, but the reality is it means an extra 1 or 2 cases at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah fair enough, I’m not bothered in the slightest, but I just feel like the reporting of the numbers seems off. 98-83-90-110 seems like large fluctuations to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugster Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I’m clutching at straws but hoping the peaks and troughs are because people are being tested in hospital for other things, showing positive, but having been jagged are asymptomatic or mildly ill and then being discharged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There surely must be some of this. Fond it hardbto believe given who was being hospitalised pre vaccine, and the fact that the huge majority of those groups are doible dosed, that all of these are admissions becuase people are seriously ill with covid. There has to be some degree of finding covid when they get there for whatever other reason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be in a remote area but a car with UK plates and a family isn't subtle, i can see how going on business would be ok but i have a feeling we'd be challenged at some point. Given how open the border is at Derry through to Buncrana then it 'might' be ok but i'm not sure i fancy trying. I think you’ll be fine in Summer as the whole country will be open by then. The case numbers last month in Donegal were horrid, something around 600 per 100k but it seems to be calming now. I took my UK registered car in December, just immediately prior to the winter lockdown and was actually stopped at the Co. Donegal/ Northern Ireland border by the Guarda but had no problem as it was clear I had work gear in the car etc. The locals were saying the last week that the pressure to open is immense as Irish folk from all over the country will just go socialising and holidays in the North and around Co. Derry if the Republic stays closed. Their tourism economy is huge to them and none of the locals batted an eyelid when I was there, with Northern Irish reg hire car, Scottish accent etc. Their vaccination programme was horrendously slow initially (causing much resentment for folk living near the border as the NHS fired into the Northern Irish) but th3 other week was opening up to vaccinate 45-49 ages and is probably lower by this week I’d guess. I hope this gives you a little bit reassurance and I am sure you’ll be fine mate and have a brilliant time, once you get over in summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is in hospital for an operation or that, and are asymptomatic but have tested positive it's ridiculous they're being counted. It should be people in hospital or ICU being treated FOR covid, not having tested positive. Flannel. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 4 hours ago, Wee Bully said: I agree with the premise. However, hospitalisations have increased by 50% in the last fortnight. Predominantly among those not fully vaccinated. Which is good, as the vaccine roll out continues to trundle along, protecting people as it goes. Very few people are dying too. We are approaching that "acceptable level of risk" if we aren't already there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, but they know that if they started recording numbers like that it would probably be single figures and would invite even more pressure to ditch all restrictions immediately. Keeping them artificially inflated (and even at that still being tiny numbers) is their only way to keep people scared. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
