    That means at least 100 deaths so far this month
    I usually follow the worldometers counter for international Covid figures. In May we were 8th in the world in deaths/million. In the months since we've slid down the rankings. Obviously it was just through other countries overtaking us with their high death rates, as sadly we can't undo deaths which have already happened and reduce our number.

    While it isn't a competition and comparing rates between countries may seem insensitive, I saw our falling down the lists as a bit of a vindication of our efforts and signs that after a very rough start we'd learned some lessons. As of this morning we were 50th but I've a bad feeling about where we're going to be in a few weeks time....

    That's very disheartening. Thanks.

    Horrendous death numbers, but unfortunately to be expected. :( May they rest in peace. Absolutely heartbreaking, I don't think many of us expected we'd be in such a bad situation again after we came through last March/April/May.

    Ah we did, I know I have anyways. I’m also expecting it to be April before we get this under control unfortunately so buckle up cause we’re in this for the long haul, unfortunately

    Need some personal responsibility.

    Can't just blame the government for not having restrictions or a rte presenter.

    RIP to all those who have passed.

    Does anybody pass away now in the last few days that’s not associated with covid.

    Average deaths per day 2019 was roughly 85 people.

    According to today’s numbers 55 people died associated with covid.

    So based on last years average only 30 other people passed from other causes in the general population of 5 million.

    Somethings not adding up. Everything’s been put down to Covid.

    As much as I'd love to blame the Toy Show (and I would) I think that would be the last in line for dishing out blame :D

    If you want to protect nursing homes the first thing you have to do is control the spread of the disease in the wider community - that's how it gets in the first place.

    What amazes me is that you can acknowledge the risk posed to nursing home residents and other vulnerable members of society - but will never acknowledge the merits of restrictions designed to suppress the virus, which, in the end, helps to protect people's lives.

    Restrictions are simply not working.

    Asking healthy people to give up their jobs, businesses and social lives for a disease that doesn’t impact them just is not sustainable.

    Putting clever steps in place to protect nursing homes is something simple that should have been done 10 months ago and would have cut the deaths in half at least.

    Believing that lockdown is the ONLY solution with thousands of cases a day is bizarre to me.

    166 deaths published on rip.ie today. Some may be duplicates but its clear that more people are dying than the average.

    199 deaths published on rip.ie yesterday.

    I think we know what is not adding up.

    George Lee on Six One: "3500 people should go through the hospital system in next fortnight...this year could be worse than last year."

    I assumed the role of journalists is to report facts, not give airing to unfounded speculation.

    On average there probably still are 85 people dying a day from other causes.

    Some of the Covid deaths will mean above average/excess deaths.

    Yeah because those people are responsible for people that died in a nursing home in a different part of the country.

    Get a grip FFS!

    Restrictions work. It's when we ignore them or deliberately misinterpret them, that problems start to happen, and then snowball.

    55 people didn't die of Covid within the last day. Majority of them were over the course of January, 5 in November, 1 in December.

    So please explain thousands of cases a day when we’ve been locked down or heavily restricted for at least 8 of the last 10 months.

    Agreed.

    Reading the post from earlier about the girl, who spread it to her own family, her friends family and her boyfriend, after mingling with different groups in different places and is taken no responsibility...That's wrong.

    I myself over December, I went out to my favourite bars but, I was always on my own and never mixed with anyone. Whilst I have a responsibility to live my life for myself, I'm in the higher risk bracket so I also have a responsibility to keep safe, for myself as well as others. I only mixed with my immediate family over Christmas. I can't quite grasp how people can't get their head around that way of doing things. But, I can't control other people's actions so no point in losing sleep over it

    I am very hesitant to blame hospitality. I never saw anyone acting out of order or going against the rules and the places I went to were so compliant and done everything possible. Some places weren't even open fully.
    However, the stories I'm hearing from a neighbouring county and various towns near me, about mixing, attending houses, people coming from London and not isolating and bringing it back to their families...It doesn't anger me but, it's an eye roll job with a shake of the head

    Those deaths were notified today. They could have occured anytime over the last 13 days.

    They didn't all occur in one day.
