Herd immunity wasted time and increased the spread of the virus in the UK. Cheltenham was a joke.

Good analysis UK  vs Ireland here:

The Germans are a few weeks ahead of the UK

As of Saturday 11 April, there have been 6.5 deaths per 100,000 people in Ireland. There have been 14.81 deaths per 100,000 people in the UK.

UK incl up there where youse are has a mortality rate roughly twice ours.

This is a big issue for Stormont.
And how does it fare out in terms of population density?
NI has a lower population than either GB or the Republic.

How does it fair with Portugal, twice the population? Or with Australia 25 million people 59 death. What is the Republic not doing that they are?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Maybe there's more than one contributing factor to one of the most complex health crises in modern human history?

Nope, I think if we keep looking at the UK and their death rate and how inept their government is that'll solve it!

For those interested in Covid 19 from a NI perspective, Aaron Donaghey on Facebook is giving a good insight into it.

Very good twitter thread here that may be of interest...

Been done already but let's put it up again just in case.  ;D

All these comparisons are absolutely futile. London has almost 10 million residents made up of people from all parts of the globe, higher population density, massive public transport network, has 2 major international airport hubs etc. etc. It's like me comparing the cases in Armagh to those in Dublin. A load of balls.

Comparisons are not futile at all. Germany has several large cities of over a million and with plenty of immigrants. They also have a larger population than the uk. They have many, many fewer deaths. That is enough to show the uk have handled this crisis very poorly.

All correct. They invested in testing and isolation early on which was key to their success. The Brits dropped the ball on a number of fronts and wasted weeks. However, what is the point in continued comparisons? The numbers will be what they are and every case is different. At one stage the Italians had high numbers down to their family relationships, their habit of kissing etc. That has meant nothing for the UK and Ireland.

The population density of England is twice that of Germany according to wiki.

Did anyone seriously think the UK would handle it well with Boris in charge likewise the USA with Trump?

America is bolloxed. Just seen their line on the cases and deaths graph on the BBC.

I know you are a closet admirer of British rule but the purpose of that twitter post was to point out how the British media has done nothing to point out the facts of what has happened, to put pressure on their government to improve. It is still very relevant. For example, you have to dig a bit to find the total deaths in the UK on a particular day, yet a few weeks ago when Italy was really in the shit the BBC and others had their deaths sprayed across the top of their home pages. The British media are not holding their government to account which is pathetic, even by their very low standards.
