Covid-19: Under 45s account for bulk of new cases

The figures come as public health expert Dr Gabriel Scally voiced concern that there is still “plenty of virus circulating” and that “an amazing amount of travel” is happening.

“I think the other thing to remember is, it was a heck of a peak that was reached in January and February,” he said. She said the schedule sets out that all over 70s will have received their first dose by mid-April and a second dose by mid-May. “We understand receiving and importing the vaccine is outside anybody’s control, it’s all dependent on when they can come and where they can come to,” she said. “I think our real issue is about the lack of communication to GPs and public communication and what their expectations are.”

Most cases are not cases.

Absolute bullshit. Lies.

Why are you giving this airtime?

LOOOOOOOSER

Here we go

This man is out to undermine our country through fear. He and ISAG seek to divide and atomise. He seeks to enforce lockdown and cause anxiety and isolation. you should be ashamed for putting him in your paper.

Sounds like they are trying to scare the under 45’s to get a jab🤔

scumbag “go after people not institutions” “because people hurt faster than institutions” zeroleaks “Quote” from so-called expect gabrielscally shame on the gov. & media for even entertaining clown 🤡 The Irish will sadly go down in history as sheep 🐑🐑🐑

So Under 45's will predominantly be fine, yes? Ok then, let's get back to normality.

Every age group is a threat to these saps spreading fear daily. They should be locked up

Thanks fook I'm 46

What is the current case fatality rate for those under 45? The most recent data I see on that is from December 2020...

Okay so how many deaths under 45 without underlying conditions? 🤔

Why are you still giving the Scallywag a platform? The man has literally been caught deliberately trying to stoke fear and uncertainty as well as resorting to bullying tactics. 'Go after people, not institutions' FatEmperor

How could there be cases? 🧐 We’ve been locked up since Xmas. Sorry silly me, lockdowns are useless. Oh come on is EVERYONE stupid in this country?! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Has anyone not considered that 500 cases / day, or 0.01% of the population, may actually be the underlying infection rate we have to live with? It's virtually nothing, especially when you take into account false positives at low prevalence levels.

Have they tested the older people who have been vaccinated?

It’s fucking unbelievable that after all this time there is still absolutely meaningless headlines like this. Never again will I spend a penny on the traditional Irish mainstream media outlets and I’ll encourage everyone I to do the same. What a fucking joke.

Scally needs locking up.

With top-down (by age) vaccination in progress, the median age was always going to go down. This is hardly 'news'.

& how many of them have died or being seriously sick. Fec all.

That’s surely because that’s the age of the brilliant people that are still out working unvaccinated 🙄.

it clearly shows that it is not deadly virus under 45s ICU numbers down people in hospitals down. Open the country.

But how many are actually in hospital? That’s what we should be looking at.

That's probably because they make up more than 50 % of the population

Cases remain a poor metric
