Which is due to the extraordinary steps that have been taken to date in the name of public health. I could ask that more be done, but that's for another thread.the overall death count is still under 2000 in this country
It is proving to be a super deadly virus in some countries and certainly has the potential to become one in this country if it were let run riot.
The same people are still walking along the middle of the footpath while others politely step to one side to make space, oblivious.Lots of socializing going on between middle age people and families today in the park with not much indication of distancing etc.
The infection fatality rate of this virus is similar to season flu. I know that bothers a lot of people but again, that’s just a fact.
I think that with any number you need to understand what that number means irrespective of people’s feelings for Donald Trump which appears to be part of the issue in Ireland in that they people associate their advocacy for lockdown and restrictions as signalling their disapproval for Trump.Bradyassoc, what's your thoughts on the currently over 230,000 covid deaths in the US ?

I could also ask what do you think of Sweden that had a very soft lockdown but their death rate is only slightly higher than Ireland. Before people jump in and compare Sweden with their neighbours, there are numerous reasons and answers for that also.
bradyassoc, can you quote something other than Twitter as a source please?
source: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Sweden - per capita death rate - 586
Ireland - per capita death rate - 380
UK- 662
If the Swedish per capita rate was reached in Ireland, as of today (population 4.9m) we would have 2,871 deaths; if you apply the Uk death rate it would be 3,243 deaths.
We won't know the true rate of death from COVID for another year when the global excess deaths figures are calculated.
I regret to see misinformation on this topic. I gather the moderators don't want it to be reported.
Very interesting.here is the original sourcehttps://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html
