    Apart from not noticing the dates on the graph, America joined the first world war in April 1917, with the first troops arriving in Europe in June 1917. The war ended in November 1918.

    There is no year on the graph.....

    Well of course there was a spike in flu numbers. There was no flu before they arrived home then they arrived home and numbers when up and of course soldiers being soldiers were in every cathouse as well

    What on Earth are you even waffling about? Nobody once mentioned that the parade was for soldiers coming home. Not only that, but I even said exactly what it was for. You have made up your own belief about what the parade was for without reading what I wrote properly because you want to make sure it fits your own agenda.

    And my two last graphs have nothing to do with that parade, they mare made using data from dozens of cities.

    There are no healthy people dying if anything the death rate is down on the same period on this time last year.

    Less traffic, less drink related accidents, more people exercising and people just staying would bring a death rate down. If everything starts back up, it'll shoot right past normal


    If you're the standard of modern student in our unis (and I've worked in some) I'm bloody worried.

    What about the people who are being denied cancer treatments and elective surgerys? What about people dying of poverty? what was that quote in the Big Short? for every 1% unemployment in the USA 40,000 people die.

    Just got this email this morning from Maynooth University. They want to just share details with the HSE.


    "I wish to let you know that Maynooth University may share your contact details (name, telephone number, email address) with the HSE to support the contact tracing work of the public health authorities.

    The University will only share this data in order to assist the public health authorities with contacting students or staff who may have been in close contact with a person who has tested positive for Covid-19. You can be assured that only these limited contact details will be shared and solely to comply with public health requirements. Your student ID number or other personal identifying data will not be shared.

    The University has developed the MU Check-in App, which you are encouraged to download and use (available from Google Play Store and Apple Store). This App allows you to scan the QR code for the seat you occupy in each teaching venue so that your location is noted. The location data and the contact details will be used to help the University support the work of the HSE public health teams who may contact you if necessary. I wish to assure you that the University will not use any data collected by the App for any other purpose."


    They dont monitor microchipped dogs this way!! Where are GPRD rules?


    Anyway, back on topic. I've been on site for the last 3 weeks in class and the check in app and qr codes only went live today (Friday).

    Only complaint is that the tape sticking the QR code on the desk reflects the ceiling lamp, so it can be tricky to get a decent scan.

    The labs, in the Eolas Building anyway, are all split with every second computer blocked out so you're not sitting directly beside anyone at all.

    If you want to be on site with multiple people from different households, play by the (non-mandatory) rules. If not, you can remote in on Microsoft Teams and Moodle.

    You do realise American soldiers brought Spanish flu to Europe, not the other way?

    Nobody is dying of poverty and rightly so. Nobody is denied cancer treatment and the elective surgery may be for something that is less threatening than getting Covid.

    What do you propose is done? Let Covid run rampant which will wreck the economy anyway and fill the hospitals so that many people do not get treatment?

    I think you already know that he did not know that, but will imply that he did in his reply. :pac:

    Yes something about stagnant water on a pig farm during a hot summer? Then the lads joined the army and they were all in cramped barracks, the army swept it under the table and proceeded on? There it spread across the camps and then across the lines and then the fronts with returning soldiers.

    It took you 4 minutes to copy that from a webpage? Slow down old man! :pac:

    So I assume you've chosen to ignore my last two graphs because you don't like that they go against your agenda?

    Let nature take its course. There are some Saps out there waiting for a vaccine that will never come in time.

    Hey I am only human but I will digest them and return with an answer. No I watched a Youtube Video at the height of the "Scamdemic". I was more focusing on the financial collapse at the time and buying Ryanair.

    So, you want to throw some very vulnerable people under the bus so people who aren't really vulnerable at all don't have to be inconvenienced. Gotcha.

    You sure didn't take your time to digest the first graph when you misread what it was saying, so yes I recommend taking to your time on this occasion. Be sure not reply with any more waffling until you do as you may conclude that you were wrong this whole time and your own waffle may end up embarrassing you.

    When your time is up its up. Its one of the signs of collapsing society trying to unnaturally extend life.
    There are heaps of more but that would be way off the thread

    Unless you are studying physics/maths/engineering in UCD, then no I am not.

    Strange question. :pac:

    So why worry about those not getting cancer treatment? Sure when your time is up, it's up.

    I dare say if COVID was like Spanish Flu and was wiping out the young and healthy with strong immune responses your response would be very, very different.

    Going by your logic, we should be banning all forms of treatments and medications then, including those for mental health issues if that's the case, they could be considered unnatural.

    We could be having a purge of populations after a certain age, so we can keep resources for those fit enough.

    Strange thing is that any society that tried to implement any of this type of thinking didn't last.

    The Spanish flu was different in the war was either on and over and peoples immune systems were repressed. There is usually a famine back in those times due to the men being away from the land and tractors were not widespread.

    Yeah I suppose when your time is up your time is up.

    Your not studying science, maths or history obviously, if you are having to scan a barcode is the least of your worries. Night.

    You are very wrong, once again. It was the induvidual's own immune response that killed them sometimes within hours of becoming symptomatic. Their aerioli literally turned to sludge in their lungs. The very young and the elderly with under performing immune systems did not die from this in large numbers at all as it took their bodies longer to fight the infection and they tended to be sick with it for weeks. It was adults between the ages of 18-40 who died from this and those who did die were sick for a couple of days at most.

    As they say, the spread of corona virus is based on two factors.


    1 - How dense the population is.


    2 - How dense the population is.
