As we know, our unfortunate toll today of 93 is not a daily figure.
These are insane numbers of people dying from a single illness
AFAIK 93 is roughly one day's death toll from all causes in ROI in normal times...0 -

As about 95% of deaths occur in the over 65 age group Ireland’s young population does happen to cause complete population stats to portray an inaccurate picture.
90 deaths today in Ireland, likely in the over 65 age group is the equivalent of about 1600 in the UK.0 -

You may need to check your workings, 1610 deaths in the UK would be the equivalent of ~120 in Ireland.
Also best to go with a 7 day average as it's more suitable to use as an comparison.0 -

No, it'd be more! 93 sounds high to us because Ireland has not had any outbreak like the scale of Europe. Many EUropean countries see 20 or deaths per million daily which is 100 here which has never happened.
Uk saw 24 deaths per million today, which would be 120 deaths here, and 7940 in the USA. UK's COVID outbreak is almost unparalleled in it's scale of deaths globally..it's really really bad. Not to mention the fact that UK excess deaths are about 20% higher than their COVID deaths, Ireland's excess deaths are generally lower than the confirmed deaths.0 -

Uk has 13 times our population so is it not the equivalent of 124 here? And 8000 in the US? 66 million vs 328 million?

We're rapidly nearing April's peak.
Oh, and there's only really been two waves when it comes to deaths.
Our reporting of deaths seem to be spread out over a month, rather than 24h reporting though?
Not that it makes any difference 0 -

Where is Ivor Cummins and all his fanboys pushing the casedemic/hoax now?
Here’s an interesting one to ponder

Nah, if you look at the raw data you'll see weekly peaks and troughs. A 7 day average smooths it out nicely.
Hopefully the nature of our outbreak means that there won't be as many deaths as in April. As bad as things are, there's only really 3 weeks of human interaction to feed into the death number. An insane 3 weeks, but only 3 weeks.0 -

There are also people who have to go to work, even if their work is not deemed essential, for fear of losing their jobs.
This has really not been addressed enough.
I really don't understand how people can make staff go back to work if they can work from home which I'm hearing time and time again, like when this is all over if you were a manager forcing all these staff onsite increasing theirs and their contacts risk how could you sleep at night? Part of how careful I have tried to be is not wanting to get to the other side of this and freak out about having blood on my hands. Imagine if one of your staff catches it and dies or passes it to someone else who dies and you found out

I feel like the answer is a mixture of denialism and not being very good at managing people remotely so trying to justify reasons to return to normal asap.
But mostly denialism.0 -

That's insane how accurately the covid deaths and excess deaths mirror one another. If this is applicable to other countries then it means countries like UK(not NI), Spain, Italy etc which have much higher excess deaths than confirmed COVID deaths are likely undercounting deaths.
I find this hard to comprehend though, would they not just be testing every death with COVID like symptoms for the disease? Like how would any COVID deaths be slipping through the gaps?0
