Mindboggling that this isn't on every front page. Irish deaths over Dec-Jan period just gone are *40%* higher than same period, pre-COVID. No room in mortuaries. Government can spin the 'dying from/with Covid', but can't spin huge increase in total deaths.

Euromomo is not showing that elevated death rate for Ireland. It could be wrong but it is an interesting difference euromomo.eu/graphs-and-map

Interesting, just had a quick look. Shouldn't vary that much by data source. From (poor!) memory, don't we have lack of reliable data on excess deaths, hence use of rip.ie by many to track rates? I'm not familiar enough w/ the underlying data sources.

I'm astonished this got published and have no idea what the thought process was.
You surely need to talk this through with someone, before spreading potentially misleading information?
I'll go through what the fundamental problem with the article is. /1

Fair point re repeated notifications. But presumably the same issue applied in 2019? The comparison there was with total notices, unadjusted. So you’re comparing mildly inflated data with mildly inflated data. Or am I missing something?

It's pretty horrifying, and the response from is so far weak, and ineffectual - taking 'personal responsibility' for being infected, won't help -

Yes, I never quite understood how 'personal responsibility' would help me when I'm on a crowded bus, surrounded by the great unmasked, each hacking up a lung. But sure, once I wash my hands, I'll be grand 🙄

It's not that surprising and if it wasn't worth covering in 2021 when the decisions to end up here were made it's not really surprising that it's not covered now. This is "hybrid" immunity. There wasn't the patience to wait and see a few more years and thats not on the Irish gov

We need far better data and more immediately available, with minimum time lag.
One approach would be to have a real time database of deaths notified by those who attend for the death of a person. The death is certified and then immediately posted. Cause of death can follow.
