I am seething. George Lee refers to 1300 a few days ago - numbers still high he says. Defending NPHET - numbers came so fast - eh no George their models predicted higher numbers so did they not plan based on their models.
I’m after giving a serious rant to my wife over Lee’s report. He focused on how the 14 day incidence rate had now increased again. Which is fuckin obvious because the lower case numbers from 14 days ago are falling off.
When was Level 3 introduced. They said it takes 3 weeks to see an effect. We are now seeing the numbers start to fall. Level 3 worked. The R number in Dublin had fallen over a week ago.
He states they need to get the R number to .5 and that .9 or .7 won’t be enough.
Level 3 was introduced on October 5th, 2.5 weeks ago. It may be working but not working fast enough for what they think they need to achieve.
Again, personally, I think they should have waited another week to see the last 7 day average for the Level 3 implementation. They’re obviously spooked about something
