Covid-19: 2,180 new cases and 406 in hospital

There are 406 people being treated for the virus, down seven.Earlier, Health Service Executive Chief Clinical Officer Dr Colm Henry said while there is an "uncomfortably high level of cases" of Covid recorded each day, they are not converting "as badly as they previously did" into hospitalisations.

He said the "extraordinary" vaccine uptake across all age groups has helped put the country in a better position and has given huge protection against serious illness. He said a vaccine cert is worthwhile as it is "working" but added it is ultimately a question for Government to decide upon. Regarding antigen testing he said it is used in selected areas but they are in the fortunate position of oversupply of PCR tests which is most sensitive at picking up infections.

He said NIAC is meeting on Monday, and added: "I expect if there is a decision we will hear about it soon enough." He said breakthrough cases are happening and healthcare workers are a "high priority" for booster vaccines now.

6-month vaccines, Covid killing 80-year-olds, creating hysteria, scaring people, passports, lock-ups. What do you not understand?

So what reopen the nightclubs

Ireland should have been in lockdown weeks ago...no because the government are afraid of the public. Ha ha ha

I see you've changed the headline on your website to 'Highest covid numbers since January'. No mention of the decrase in hospital numbers no? I suppose it only suits to put them in the headline when they go up 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Absolute grade A bullshit of the highest order 🤣🤣🖕🖕

That's goodbye to 22nd so but herd immunity

Open up ffs. Enough of these numbers

Lockdown not far away

Who actually gives a shit about the numbers now stop reporting them

Yet the vaccine program is a big success is it?

🤡💉

Good job 👍

7 weeks ago there was 385 in hospital.

Heading home from London where I've had no mask on for 3 days and felt actually normal again. Now back home for more of this negative covid bullshit. 93% vaccinated and still they drag it on. Just protecting the fearful and hypochondriacs now. Embarrassing

Numbers hovering around mid 1500S for months. And stop pointing the finger at the vaxxed.

When mask wearing was made mandatory in Ireland daily cases were in the mid 50’s and haven’t been near that number since. The mind boggles

Radio Kerry talking yes of the country going into lock down in the next few weeks.

I do believe that the numbers are being made up, I don't know of anyone who has it and they don't know if anyone that has it.

What treatment are the 406 receiving?

400 covid patients out of a population of 5 million and We can't cope. Clown country. That's what, 15 people per county? M'up away will Ye. Absolute gombeens

NO Shit Sherlock

It is a seasonal respiratory virus cases will go up in winter....Being vaccinated reduces hospital numbers and deaths to normal winter flu.....40% of hospital numbers are unvaccinated and 70% of ICU patients.....

Covid-19: What's behind the increase in cases and how could it impact re-opening plans?The number of people in hospital with Covid-19 topped 400 this week for the first time since early March. That told us absolutely nothing. Why have you not examined what social activities are happening in Spain, Germany etc and compare to ours? What about hand washing … do the other countries have surveys? Etc! 'insert figure here' 🤦 Simple 100k+ tests a week. Stop testing in people without symptoms numbers fall to 10's-100.

Were these people admitted to hospital because of Covid or were they admitted with Covid or did they catch Covid in hospital Oh dear not looking good for the 22nd despite what Coveney said 😕

Coronavirus: 1,914 new cases of Covid-19 confirmed in IrelandThe Department of Health has said that there are 413 patients with Covid-19 in hospital, of which 73 are in ICU 413 'with' Covid doesn't = treated FOR Covid. It's also false to infer positive PCR tests for a genome fragment of SARS-CoV-2 (virus) = a 'case' of Covid (illness) Yet supposed 'fact checkers' & all other MSM continue to lie about 'cases' as do NPHET/Gov/HSE/DoH Pure bollox, 2k cases a day and hardly a booking in the test centres
