I like it
I like itYou can find it in any church or religious place of worship. The older ones are called religions. The newer ones are called cults but they are pretty much the same thing.
I don't think you can sue anyone but if you do let me know; I went to the Christian Brothers and they never touched me. It had a terrible effect on my self esteem.
There are clearly some crackpots out there but it's important not to tar all protesters with the same brush. Some do have relevant civil liberties arguments that deserve to be heard and that should help inform government policy during Covid. For example, provided all protocols regarding testing and quarantine are being observed, I'm not sure the near-blanket travel ban is justified given how severely it interferes with people's basic constitutional rights. The media's tendency to depict all dissenters as QAnon-type nutters is not helpful.
Or the QAnon/"RTE eats babies"-types choose to hang out with their more sensible counterparts. Organizers of public protests can't control who's attending. Protests relating to legitimate causes being hijacked by extreme political sects is a constant problem in Ireland.They can't complain about being lumped in with the QAnon types if they keep hanging out with them - and don't disassociate themselves from the views

O'Doherty is filth, so no surprise to learn she is involved.The protest was organised by "Riseup Eireann" - an outfit which had been pushing RT conspiracy memes before their account was taken down. It included posts on "Elite Pedophiles", "Criminal Government Pharma Cartel", "Corrupt Media and Dark Agenda" etc. A number of the people associated with it were also involved with the Irish Yellow Vests, Irish Freedon Party and National Front Ireland - as well as part of the G'OD & Waters activities.
So the nutters didn't just turn up and hang out with their more sensible counterparts. These were the people organising it
I've said far worse than that!Purple sometimes your "jokes" are absolutely disgusting and belong in the gutter. That is one of them.
It can take up to 3 months for deaths to be registered and recorded, that's a bureaucratic aspect long predating before the pandemic and has been consistent all through it. RTE's Fergal Bowers breaks down the deaths by when they actually occurred so it's not as if the info is not in the public domain.The normal thing would be to accept the high death ratio to cases .The sceptic in me would ask why are there now loads of backdated deaths in the numbers as in only 14 of today's in march.Nothing to do with being a nutjob
Yes, that's a good point. It's not even the numbers but the fact that a clear distinction between backdated deaths and current ones is not being made. The only figure we should be getting is the up to date deaths. Adding in numbers from last month tells us nothing about trends.The normal thing would be to accept the high death ratio to cases .The sceptic in me would ask why are there now loads of backdated deaths in the numbers as in only 14 of today's in march.Nothing to do with being a nutjob.
The notification RTE and the Irish Times sends to my phone just gives the headline number. The backdated deaths should not be included in that number.RTE's Fergal Bowers breaks down the deaths by when they actually occurred so it's not as if the info is not in the public domain.
Just as there tends to be a drop in cases in early part of week (as doctors are closed over weekends) and a spike in middle of week as people referred for tests on mondays get their results.
People can read too much into things.
Deaths are a lagging indicator. Cases are a leading indicator. Hospital inpatient and ICU admissions, inpatient numbers and discharges are probably the most relevant timely indicator.The normal thing would be to accept the high death ratio to cases .The sceptic in me would ask why are there now loads of backdated deaths in the numbers as in only 14 of today's in march.Nothing to do with being a nutjob.
The point being with so many of our vunerable vaccinated and the numbers dropping I'd expect also to go back to very little deaths certainly not to be told about January ones in march .The figures don't really stack up
It's common knowledge at this stage that there is a lag in reporting of deaths.
Agreed. When RTE report the deaths, they actually say: x many from January, y many from February, z many from March. It is simply the truth, reported accurately and with an appropriate level of detail.It's common knowledge at this stage that there is a lag in reporting of deaths.
Your posts show that you are aware of this, and while it is not the headline figure - it is detailed in reporting of the deaths when they occurred by major media outlets.
Therefore, I don't see how you can say the figures don't stack up.
I get that people have preference for the figures to be reported differently, and maybe it should - but nobody is attempting to pull the wool over anybody's eyes.
It's not the headline though. The last notification I received from RTE yesterday evening was "Covid-19: Dept confirms 47 further deaths, 631 new cases and the number of people in ICU down three to 92"Agreed.

I think I read something re: families have up to 3 months to register the death.Having said that ,does anyone know why death reporting is so slow? I mean we normally have people in the ground/furnace in 3 days.
