He says it is an āimproving situationā
Dr Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer has said there āare reasons for real hopeā that Ireland ācan confidently move to a pointā where an easing of restrictions can be recommended to Government.
However, Dr Holohan said: āWe are not yet where we need to be.ā
Dr Holohan said NPHET is " a little concerned" about data of recent days, and he said this data will ābe observed more closely in the coming days before we can be satisfied that we have arrived at a point where we can advise Government on any easing of restrictions.ā
Here we goš¤¦āāļø

There are lads here who genuinely believe that Holihan is making up the numbers 
No surprise - the announced figures have been lagging the positive swabs for 4 or 5 days.

Numbers are irrelevant at this stage in terms of the vaccine rollout, vast majority of cases are in the unvaccinated groups as evidenced by the continual decline in hospital admissions and overall numbers in acute hospitals and ICU.

O Hula Hoop up to his old tricks
I donāt think theyāve been making up any numbers. I do think at different stages emphasis has been placed on certain numbers to strengthen the argument they are making.

Thereās 4 figures every day
New cases
Deaths
Hospital
ICU
All very easy to read for anybody
Have you not noticed the thousands of posts here suggesting Houlihan is pulling them from his arse?
By the sounds of it the next two weeks will be crucial.

Hoolahan was on the blower last week begging them to save a few cases for his return.
Itās the hope that kills people.

Everyone back under the fucking bed
Any sign of that weedy little geek Glynn today?
Holohanās return means a further deferral of the opening of society. The end of any chance of crowds back in time for this yearās championship.
And pubs? 2022 at best.

And all of them mean fuck all without context
I.e deaths from covid rather than with covid, and deaths that day rather than finding a few behind the sofa from last month.
Hospitalisations should be reported as per deaths i.e with covid and from covid.
ICU should report the days, aggregated, of stay there
And of course most of these figures would be minor reporting had we a functioning tracing & testing procedure as well as the increased ICU capacity which were promised but havenāt materialised
More importantly whereās the stat for vaccines delivered vs administered?
