816 #CovidIreland positive swabs are 95% of last Thursday so very slow rate of reduction continues which means under 100 cases a day is month away. #B117 variant seems to be cause of slowdown with 25% of close contacts being infected now as against 12%. 5.26% positivity /1 
Average of 842 positive swabs over last 3 days, this is 91% of same days last week. Week on week reductions at that rate runs into June to go under 100

HSE report of number of close contacts of confirmed cases remains pretty static so this isn't the cause of the slowing down but a much higher proportion of these now test positive probably due to B117. Note NPHET give a lower adult only figure on Thursday evening /3
Why when Luke O' Neill gets so much airtime to advise the nation, could some of that time not be spent having him declare his interests? Strong ties to both GSK and Moderna. @laoneill111 @PatKennyNT @Niall_Boylan @rte @DefundRte #Ireland #covidireland @griptmedia #COVID19

It's very interesting that Sitryx made an $880,000,000 deal with "Eli Lilly" reported in late March "Without particularly looking" bioworld.com/articles/43409…
Paul Peter Tak (a former SVP at GSK) also co-founded Sitryx. He also sits on the board of Kintai alongside Luke O Neill.

The Chief medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan produced a new graph this evening which told a different story about the number of daily #COVID-19 deaths in Ireland. This is it. #COVID19 #COVIDIRELAND.
He explained that what NPHET reports to us on a daily basis is the number of deaths "notified" to them on that day rather than the numbers who actually died on that day. It can take a few days or even longer before any death is actually notified to them.
When they ironed out the differences and allocated the deaths to the days they had actually occurred it painted a very different picture. It showed that daily deaths actually peaked ten days ago on April 7th at 39 deaths although the reported total that day was 36.
