Quote from: LeoMc on September 01, 2020, 03:22:41 PMNo one mentioned any figures. That's the point. It is scare mongering to put % figures on death rates when people generally aren't dying of it at the minute. If there is 1 death in the next week (from or with) and 2 the week after will there be a headline 100% increase in deaths?Quote from: Maiden1 on September 01, 2020, 08:00:34 AMWhere does anyone mention the last week?Quote from: seafoid on September 01, 2020, 05:26:49 AM60% higher than 0 in Ireland in the last week?

Ireland, meanwhile, having achieved one of the lowest incidences in Europe in mid-summer, is now struggling to contain fresh outbreaks. So much so that the latest ECDC figures show our figures are higher than both the UK's and Sweden's. (The death rate in Sweden is 60 per cent higher than in Ireland.)
