Coronavirus: 1,345 new cases confirmed in Ireland

The latest figures were announced by the Department of Health today.

PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS have confirmed 1,345 new cases of Covid-19 in Ireland.

The Department of Health has reported that 141 patients are in hospital with Covid-19, including 25 in intensive care units. 

Yesterday, 1,126 cases of Covid-19 were reported, with 123 patients with the illness in hospital, 22 of whom were in intensive care.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan said there is a high incidence of Covid-19 across many counties and there has been a significant increase in hospitalisation over the last two weeks.

“Please continue to avoid crowded spaces, keep distance from others, keep indoor settings well ventilated by opening windows and doors, wear a mask where appropriate,” he said.

Deputy Chief Medical officer Dr Ronan Glynn urged people to get vaccinated as soon as they have the opportunity to do so.

“87% of cases today are in those aged less than 45 years. If you are awaiting your vaccine or are awaiting your second dose, continue to protect yourself by following public health advice,” he said.

Data relating to the number of deaths associated with Covid-19, as well as case numbers by county, have been affected by the cyber attack on the HSE IT systems.

Today’s figures did not contain any information about whether there were any other deaths due to the virus.

    @Contana Tovis: Indeed Contana. I’ve issued all 3rd level institutions with an FOI request to ascertain how many epidemiologists, virologists, immunologists and public health doctors graduated from these institutions in recent years. It doesn’t come anywhere near the amount of experts who rock on up to this forum. However when I submitted the same request to the University of Life and the Facebook College of Doing My Own Research, Sheeple the number of graduates from these places was astronomical. We should be thankful for these institutions for all the experts they provided to enlighten us.

Just because someone says they are an expert, it does mean it is either true or that they are an expert and could lie to you.

However it is highly unlikely that the number of those Covid positive asymptomatic patients is near the 100. I think I saw a figure of 10% approx. Anyway we won’t know until this is recorded properly and the sooner the better.

    @Craig Daly: The proportion of patients with COVID-19 in hospital is 4.42 times greater than the general population.

    The 14 day incidence in the general population is about 290 per 100,000 but its about 1,300 per 100,000 in hospitals. Also, the stats describes them as “COVID-19 Cases”, not “SARS-COV-2 positive cases”. So it’s likely most in COVID-19 patients in hospital are there because they are ill with COVID-19.

    That is not true, deaths from COVID-19 are recorded on death certificates as the underling / primary cause of death.

    “A death due to COVID-19 is defined for surveillance purposes as a death resulting 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 disease (e.g. trauma).”

    @Paul Hedderman: I’m still looking for list of WITH COVID-19 deaths, I found it on the CSO website:

    “It’s is important to note that there will be a number of deaths where COVID-19 will not be assigned as the UCOD and therefore, the COVID-19 deaths in this analysis, will vary from those put into the public domain by the Department of Health.”

    UCOD = Underlying Cause of Death

    So the HSE figures are based on UCOD i.e. from/due to COVID-19, whereas a portion of the CSO COVID-19 deaths include some additional deaths WITH COVID-19. But again, this not the how the HSE counts deaths as far as I can tell, and it’s why CSO figures differ from the HSE.

    Tanaiste Leo Varadkar has issued a demand to NPHET to exclude Covid-19-positive patients from hospital figures if they are receiving treatment for other reasons, it has been reported.

    The current statistics include all patients who have tested positive for the killer bug after being admitted, even if they are being treated for other conditions.

    And the Irish Independent reports that the Tanaiste has now requested that NPHET provide statistics only on those who are being treated for Covid-19.

    Everyone in hospital with covid is a covid patient. That makes sense.
    So they dont treat them for covid if they have it and it did not hospitalise them. Is that what you want, them to be left untreated as it was not what brought them into hospital in the first place.

    @Gary Kearney: no it does not mean they no longer have covid gary, but you know this full well. You also know full well why it’s important to distinguish between the people in hospital with covid or being treated for covid.

    It’s important to have both statistics actually as patients with covid, with say a broken leg and thats why they are in hospital, will put a bigger strain on the hospital than someone with a broken leg and no covid.

    But you know full well the reason the number of people in hospital for covid treatment should be reported. It speaks directly to the severity of the disease rather than transmissibility of it. If only 10 people out of 100,000 infected (hypothetical figures) required treatment for covid but there was 200 people in hospital with covid been treated for other reasons, just reporting 210 covid hospitalisations is incredibly misleading to how dangerous the virus is. And the current reporting, knowing this is how the public perceived hospitalisations, was very much disingenuous reporting. But you know that full well, or else at least i hope you do otherwise you are a bit thick.

    @aidanshaw: yeah i heard the piece. Wasn’t overly shocked by it, more shocked that the TDs seemed shocked by it. At the end of the day, its the path of least resistance for the hospital. “Just report our positive cases and be grand”. Unfortunately, the consequences of this was the actual integrity of the data. Find it worse that NPHET would have known this full well, but let the public and government continue thinking otherwise because it suited their agenda and objectives. Can’t overly blame them for that either, but it just goes to show everyone should stop focusing on one set of figures in isolation as it gives nowhere close to a full picture.

    I know the man talks an incredible amount of hoop and can correctly get deleted any given day for the nonsense spouted, but hugo actually made one of his few valid comments about leo asking nphet not to report hospitalisation figures with covid rather than those been treated for it. He basically copied and pasted from an article that leo requested nphet report this. And his comment got deleted??! That’s incredibly fishy i am sorry. Like 80% of his fake news posts that deserve to be deleted don’t but his actual valid one does?! Its almost as if the journal have a certain side of the narrative they want to push. Free press indeed…
