      I don't understand the British media. I really, really don't. Basic things: Ireland and the UK started this pandemic with roughly the same number of ICU beds (6.5 per 100,000 for Ireland, 6.6 per 100,000 in the UK). If anything, the UK was slightly better off.pic.twitter.com/owhHMUZccU

      As of today, there have been 320 deaths from the coronavirus in Ireland, and 9,875 deaths in the UK. Ok, ok, but the UK has a ginormous population, right? Especially compared to Ireland. So we adjust per capita - how many deaths per 100,000 people?

      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. Guys, people have been dying at more than *twice the rate* in the UK.

      With exponential growth, you cannot confidently draw conclusions from regional differences. A single superspreader can infect hundreds of others. If that's one of the first few cases in a region, the disease can be 10x worse there, just due to a single quirk of bad luck.

          seeing a depressing number of medical workers in certain regions saying things like "my hospital is so quiet! This is bullshit". Smack my damn head

          Hospitals are quieter. Surgical cases delayed, out patients delayed, people not going to A&E because, for example, they hurt their knee playing football (no football and would rather see if it recovered first than put themselves at risk).
