What context are you looking for? For posters to give the countries population every time daily cases for that country are posted? People know France is a large country and the information is easily Google able. I don't see where there was scaremongering so think you're being a tad dramatic there.

Exactly, this all started in January with the first threads talking about China, then Italy, then Spain.

It’s interesting to look abroad at countries with either different restrictions or at a different point in their outbreak.

I think the attitude of ignoring of what is going on abroad is hindering Ireland’s response. We’re a neutral country with almost no serious natural disasters so we’re primed to look at scenes abroad and think “ah that’s awful what’s going on over there” safe in the knowledge it “couldn’t” happen here, the “ah sure it’ll be grand” attitude..

There is no reason for covid to act any differently here unless we act differently.

Anyone consciously ignoring what’s happening abroad, or calling it scaremongering, is obviously being effected by the sand in their brain from burying their heads nice and deep.

If this post annoys you or you disagree and say posting stats from abroad is simply scaremongering, I’d love to know what you think the route out of this is and what the end game is.

675,000 people died of the 1918 flu in the US, and that was largely let rip through the population.

So far Covid has killed 200,000 in the US, and that's with about 10% of the population estimated to have been infected so far.

Interesting you only picked one particular country in your example( less population that time too)The 1918 flu killed at least 50million worldwide. Some have said it could have been 100 million.

Are you still confident about this?

Why wouldn't I be? What changed today vs yesterday? Dublin remains high, Donegal remains high, Kildare, Cork levelled off slightly. Unless Dublin's numbers explode next week we're not getting 1000.

Everyone in the authority knew what's happening. But no one can say the emperor has no cloths on. No one can dare to link schools to the rise of cases. This drunk country has lost all it's sanity. A huge goofup of massive scale is going on.

Things had to open up at some stage it made sense to start with the schools I suppose

The prime minister indicated there would be no national lockdown for now because he said the government had faith in their systems and the professional health personnel and front-line staff.

Solomon Islands records their first coronavirus case, but no lockdown yet. They're obviously doing zero covid over there and it's worked for eight months. The case is a student repatriated from the Philippines, who had 3 negative tests on the way.

Interesting how they've managed to avoid cases, they aren't completely in the middle of nowhere and have a larger population (~650k) than some of the smaller island nations in the Pacific.

but I'm not the one who is drunk ... Tell that to the law makers who think that we have a special kind of virus here, which is polite and avoids schools, unlike in other countries, where edu institutions are leading the breakouts.

You really need to look at the data.

Cases in 5 to 14 year olds are steady, but the are sky rocketing in 15 to 24 year olds. What do 15 to 24 year olds do that 5 to 14 year olds don’t?

Each other?

Ok, here is the data for you to "really really look at"

Chris Christie is just the latest infected (most likely) at the rose garden function for Coney Barrett last Saturday at the White House though there would have been side get togethers as well...be interesting to see how many end up infected in the end.
