you can always spot the older people on this thread because they always put themselves on the crucifix and up themselves like their the greatest thing since sliced bread but then refer to themselves in the 3rd person to avoid sounding vain and the open contempt they hold for younger people
Lol.
Like all such generalities that comment is little more than make believe and fairly identical to what kids do when they don't see eye to eye with another kid and wail - 'I dont agree with you - so you're just nasty' or wtte
This is an anonymous forum on the Internet and unless we all have crystal balls or are psychics that kind of stuff needs to be filled under F for fantasy.
The template always seems to go like this ...you can always spot the [insert pejorative adjective here ) people on this thread because ...

The current 14 day incidence rate in Ireland is 144 per the ecdc website. For the same period the corresponding number for Spain is 146, we are neck and neck.
Restrictions vary from region to region in Spain and even town to town but there have been few total hospitality lockdowns in the last two waves.
....
Yet look at both countries today
Difficult at the best of times to try and compare two very different countries.
However looking at the statistics for the Pandemic over the last year quite clearly shows that spikes in infection rates here have been fewer and shorter in duration.
I do wonder Is that down to our restrictions on hospitality or something else?
Looks like Spain is most certainly not out of the woods yet and is introducing new restrictions on hospitality for forthcoming public holidays.

Edit. Pls note this is referring to the duration of peaks from July to November in Spain. Compared to the short duration peak in Ireland in September- October. This observation appears to be unaffected by graphs which correct for population differences0 -

I can’t click to follow the link on your graph.
What metric is it using?
Is it showing all case numbers over total population which given the fact Spain has 10 times Ireland’s population, its looks like a similar incidence rate?0 -

Thats massively misleading given Spain's population is twelve times ours. The per capita figures are the only accurate way you can compare this:
Which shows the two countries pretty much equal - both have had one wave worse than the other.0 -

Again - looking at the duration and incidence of spikes for the number of new cases.
The graph of the two countries for the Pandemic over the last year quite clearly shows that on average Spikes of confirmed cases here have been fewer and shorter in duration
Most notably in Spain there were noticeable spikes in confirmed cases lasting from July through November 2020. In Ireland- a spike in from Sept to October was of a fairly short duration. And yes both countries had spikes at the beginning of the Pandemic and around the Christmas period.
For example the differences in population do not explain the lenght of the summer spike in Spain compared to Ireland
Your own graph clearly shows this very long summer spikes in Spain as well. Its duration is unaffected by population differences.

but if you used the right graph it doesn't give the big scary spike gozundas looking for0 -
