Since January 1, daily cases are down 70 percent in the United Kingdom, 50 percent in Canada, and 30 percent in Portuga
A real conundrum for the lockdown magnates. If it drops too quickly theyâll have to rely on the new variant hoax to sell their yearly experimental vaccine.
Maybe the vaccine will start killing people soonâŚblame the virus, sell more vaccine and knock off old dears. Kill three birds with the one stone so to speak

Iâm fairly sure a Leinster man set the balling rolling and as usual Munster fell in to line and followedâŚ
California has 47,916 deaths or 1,213 per million, Florida has 29,311 deaths or 1,365 per million. They have ended up fairly close in deaths per capita but got there in different ways, Cali did better up to this winter surge than most other states, but has done worse than most since early December.
If you look across the full spectrum of states, and compare those that had the most strict and longest lockdowns, those that ended lockdowns early, and those that never had a lockdown, itâs really hard to establish causation for high or low case rates, hospitalizations or deaths. There is really no clear pattern, half the states that had the strictest lockdowns had twice the hospitalizations and deaths as Florida, but there are also numerous states that opened up early like Florida that are much worse.
Agreed on care homes, I think itâs the biggest scandal by far and borderline criminal that it wasnât the #1 priority it should have been.
On the dying of versus with issue, I think Itâs a valid distinction but not as big an issue as some claim. The medium age of Covid deaths is over 80 so itâs not unreasonable to think Covid had at least a part to play in most deaths where Covid was involved, even if in some cases it may not be the primary cause.

In as much as I can comment on this matter I suspect that once you have 25 million in the bank then you arenât getting your agent to pester Newstalk for a hundred euro to have a chat with Kieran Cuddihy at 7am.
But I canât prove it

Suspect all you want. In my experience people who have the mindset to make millions tend to watch every miserable penny.
But maybe he isnât motivated by moneyâŚeven though heâs been using this human tragedy to shamelessly promote his book at every opportunity ⌠I accept that you may not have noticed this.
And sure vanity motivates some people as much as money.

Is it vanity now? Itâs hard to keep up
Question, how much money do you think itâs possible to make writing a popular science book biased towards Ireland which becomes largely irrelevant after the current pandemic
A bit more insight to the IT issues in reporting cases after Christmas.
If sarcasm is going to be your thing maybe you should spice it up with humour and intelligence.
How much? Havenât a clue, but more if you can shamelessly promote it to useful idiots when youâre supposedly on tv to discuss a deadly pandemic.

What it shows is how many people were boozing and acting the bollix in the lead up to Christmas⌠Those numbers were huge in around the 27/28/29th⌠Itâs one of the reasons you just canât trust the Irish to open up fully. Weâre very immature around things like alcohol but really thereâs a Iâm alright jack and fuck everyone else attitude that prevails in Irish society⌠Pubs need to stay shut permanently but open everything else up.
If numbers are miniscule and people are vacinnated why do pubs need to stay shut?
I donât think itâs about money. He just probably likes having his belly tickled on national TV. Heâs not the worst of them.
Iâd say people were expecting a January lockdown and said âfuck it, letâs enjoy the meaningful Christmas and get wasted.â
