So England have been making a balls of their death figures, counting people that had a positive test and then could have died from natural causes a few months later.

I would imagine that's been happening worldwide truth be told.

Policies vary,  initially England certainly were not counting everyone, the excess death stats show that. They may now be doing better.
Everyone with Covid19 will die of something else in due course, should any of them be counted?

Singing is profoundly implicated in the spread of this virus, a Karaoke party was well out of order in the first place.

It's a tricky call, but like most people. We hear of X thousand dead. We think...they died because of the disease. Which is becoming more and more clear, is not necessarily the actual reason (without getting into a debate over the seriousness of it and that kind of thing).

I appreciate these people are / were under immense pressure at the time of the outbreak, the admin definitely took a backseat but it's very important from here on we start to clean but the real actual cause of death of certificates.

It'll be over by Christmas, says Boris Johnson, as long as you all wish hard enough.

Only about 5% of people in general have had Covid19, you are not going to get a big distortion unless people who die are more likely to have it than other people and that might tell you something.

Don't tell Smurfy, he thinks the curve is flat. This curve is more like Samantha Fox than Twiggy.

Probably most of those in Dublin.

13 counties have not had a case in 5+ days and 19 haven't had a case in over 2 days which shows the infection rate is not widespread.

[Rossfan]

No case in Ros for nearly 2 weeks.

[Cunny Funt]

According to the HSE data hub.

Tests carried out the last 24 hrs was 9512
Positive tests last 24 hrs was 26 (34 daily cases published means 8 of those cases weren't from today)

Positivity rate last 7 days is 0.3%

[imtommygunn]

What scenarios are people tested in? Contact? Symptoms? Or is there more to it.

[armaghniac]

In the South every contact is invited to a test, some refuse. The policy in the occupied territories is less clear.

[imtommygunn]

9512 seems like a lot if it is purely those who have been exposed. I would guess there would be more than just contacts have been tested.

Not sure what they do up here though I do suspect there is some criteria for contact based testing but no idea what.
