And you do realise the ones that died aged 60 to 90 probably picked the virus up from someone much younger?

Did they? Where? At a teenage disco? Maybe when they've been working in Schools as Teachers? Maybe it's all those kids serving in Garden centres up and down the country?
Blaming young people and children for spreading this disease isn't very fair.

Not blaming anyone. Giving you a better understanding of how this virus works/spreads.

You literally said they probably picked the virus up from someone much younger.
Is that not blaming young people? You literally said that.

Questions
How did these young people infect these older persons?
How do you know who infected them?

The vast majority of older people was either cocooning at home or in care settings. It's not a blame game younger people can get it without knowing and pass it on to someone more vulnerable.

Yeah whatever. Young people didn't infect all those over 70 who died no matter what you say.

It only takes 1 infection to spread and form a cluster in a care home setting.   I don't expect you to heed what anyone says that's different from your own beliefs and that avatar image of yours is very appropriate.

Someone was saying to me that the crossgar/ ballynahinch "cluster" came from a house party with a care home worker at it. That went into double figures. (They are both meant to have originated from the same place)

The South may not fully move to phase 4
Pubs are at risk of not opening
A big kick in the stones to all who have stuck to the rules
Let the tourists walk free
Also the age of the people getting it is low
Good sign that at least

Just saw a post on social media saying the Obituaries in a Heuston newspaper run to 43 pages.

Officially 3,200 deaths in Texas total, so I suspect this is one of those myths that was doing the rounds. Quick google of Texas population is 29 million as of 2019.

*Edit, the 43 pages was for the deaths of each of the above 3,200.

Open corruption at the heart of British government, awarding contracts to Tory donors and mates of Johnson and Cummings often in spite of no ability to complete the contract. Incredible stuff.

Recap
1% positivity rate on all tested in the North
0.3% in the South

And astonishing as it sounds in May in England of every 10000 tested only 13 were positive

Phase 4 in the ROI that was due to happen on Monday is now pushed back to August 10th. A knock on effect for gaa club action especially supporters.

It's been over 2 weeks now since Merseyside celebrated the title after the City defeat. We were told they had a high R rate. Very positive news there's been no larger rise in the City since.

Without getting too complacent, you would have to be very positive now after these kinds of things happening.

As your hero Donald would say, this looks like fake news.
There were around 100,000 cases in England in May, so this level of positivity would have required something like 7 million  tests, but the testing thing hadn't really ramped up in May.

So let us have your source.

Well they done 125000 tests on May the 1st and 255000 on May 31st
So they had it ramped up
Blaming the pubs for a few extra cases is crazy. Pubs get the blame and them not even open
