Making a conservative assumption of Omicron being 0.1% of Irish cases on November 28th and giving a conservative assumption of a 4 day average doubling time, it’s easy to see how Omicron will sweep over Ireland.
November 28: 0.1%
December 2: 0.2
December 6: 0.4
December 10: 0.8
December 14: 1.6
December 18: 3.2
December 22: 6.4
December 26: 12.8
December 30: 25.6
January 3: 51.2
January 7: ~100
Not British enough.
All the scientists are saying Omnicron is harmless.
Covid will have to redouble its efforts
Could a reduction in hospital numbers mean people are dying?

They might be saying Omnicron is harmless but they aren’t saying it about Omicron.
And even if you have did have a less virulent variant it can cause much worse problems if it’s more transmissible.
I was wondering about that as well. Unfortunately it seems due to the HSE cyber attack over 6 months ago. That data still isnt available, mate.
All we get is a broad number every Wednesday with absolutely no specific data in relation to vaccine status, age or underlying illnessess etc
It is absolute shambolic stuff. But on we go.

The numbers dying from Covid in recent months have been in the 150-200 ballpark per month.
In terms of the broader health service, if this was a Delta only situation, it would be the case that the booster campaign would have been rolled out in the nick of time.
But it’s no longer a Delta only situation, which really leaves the current figures having a calm before the storm feeling, a bit like the weather right now where I am.
