Ireland 🇮🇪 Analysis 2022-01-11

🙂 ICU occupancy with Covid is holding steady
😕 PCR Positivity is holding steady longer vs last year
😟 ICU admissions with Covid are slightly concerning, one swallow does not a summer make but 9-10 per day is similar to early Nov '21 with Delta.

Ireland 🇮🇪 All data time-shift graph 2022-01-11

Note: as the level of smoothing is increased we see the time shift alignment of the peaks

Note: When smoothing is low (< 6 days) we can see current cause for concern in ICU admissions (red), but by sigma=12 days it's flat

I am maintaining an archive of the geohive data tracked every hour on github.com/stephenc/2021-…

My full set of graphs is available from github.com/stephenc/2021-… (updated daily at 16:15 UTC and manually if I see the data updated early)

If you have suggestions for improvements, constructive criticism or additional graphs please reply to this tweet or DM me.

NOTE: While my personal biases are not a secret but I try to keep them out of my analysis of the Irish data and the graphs from the Irish data. If you choose to follow me on twitter be aware that some of my other tweets may expose my biases either directly or by asking questions!
