Ireland’s national incidence rate has dropped by 22% in the past 14 days.

As the Government finalises its plan for Christmas – and what level of restrictions will be implemented – Public Health officials continue to voice concerns about society reopening too quickly after Level 5.

He replied: “It is never easy… it has implications for people… how they live their lives, the economy and people have been out of work for long periods of time.” Ireland’s reproductive number last week was estimated at between 0.7 and 0.9 having been at 0.6 the previous week. It’s still estimated at between 0.7 and 0.9.

We noted last week that the 14-day incidence rate in some counties was once again rising, but it has since decreased in line with case numbers. Limerick had seen a 12% increase in its 14-day average last week from the previous week but has since dropped back down to 188.8 cases per 100,000 – a 15% decrease since last week.

By comparison to Europe, Ireland’s 14-day incidence rate is lower than France , Spain , the United Kingdom and Italy , according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control .It is worth nothing that all five of these European countries have reduced their 14-day incidence rate by between 9.3% and 41% in the past seven days.

The positivity rate – which had increased to 3.8% last week – is now back down to 2.7%, the lowest point yet during Level 5.There are – as of this morning – 247 confirmed Covid-19 cases in hospitals and 35 people in Intensive Care Units.Last Thursday, there were 290 hospitalised cases of Covid-19 and 32 people in ICU.

It tells us that our government and a large number of the population are insane with no powers af logic, reason or critical thinking.

Lockdowns do not work

It tells us this 2nd wave was a myth.

It says, this is no more than a 99.9% Asymptomatic Casedemic and unnecessary lockdown are being perpetrated on the people of this country by an Incompetent Blueshirt Govt and its proxy failed Governing body NPHET.

The data tell shows we need to assert our freedoms.

It’s tells us the data used by NEPHET is flawed and not fit for purpose It also tells us that 6 weeks of level 5 created untold hardship for absolutely no reward

Stop lying

Lockdowns definitely not working!!
