Very subjective logic there.

How many excess deaths in Ireland in 2020?

You’d imagine the govt and HSE should have opened its eyes about the state of the health service long before this.

It’s like watching a marathon centre court 5 set match in the tour de france, with injury time

Higher than any previous year - based on available statistics.

this is a good website - https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps

Ireland isn’t recorded here - I don’t know why

How will that translate into todays figures

Which is which?

And it’s no sprint along the Champes Elyssie, it’s a grind to the summit of the Alp de Huez with lads frothing at the mouth with exhaustion.

Approx 6k cases to be announced today according to Paul Reid.

For Sunday it was 6,486 positive swabs from 28545 tests. 22.7% positivity.

Going by that the backlog got bigger again yesterday.

@Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy , that was a nice joust - we appear to be upsetting the sleepier members of our forum. We’ll reconvene when they go for an afternoon nap

My lips are sealed

It’s John Isner vs Nicholas Mahut

Fulvio the blunt force Isner, Esteban the immovable object Mahut

We all know the second quarter was a mindfield across Europe but I’d like to know if that trend continued for the rest of the year.

The winter flu season would regularly see a 14% variance. Sometimes more. Yet that doesn’t qualify in your eyes. Bizarre.

I’m not a giraffe.

Sure we don’t even have a winter flu season this year

Bar March and April in England and a 3 week spike around Oct Nov in Wales, there’s nothing really that out of kilter in the UK in terms of excess deaths.

The current rates at present seem to be close to the winter flu season of 2017/18, slightly less if anything.

I wonder what approach they were using early on and what implement they introduced afterwards?

a 3 week spike of up to 3x or 4X any of the other highest scores in that time period.
