Oooh, I wonder who the blacked out name on Table 4 is?
Personally I'm glad Phil Hogan wasn't (seemingly) breaking quarantine, I hope it doesn't come out that he visited his home in Kildare on the way to Galway. He's an absolute arse (as are they all), but it's useful to have someone Irish in Europe to deal with Brexit.
In relation to the cases to deaths ratio, I suspect most of the current positive tests are of people who wouldn't even have been tested back in March. Back then, the numbers of positives per day would only have been a fraction of the true number of people with Covid, so obviously hospital numbers (and deaths) would be much higher.
I think as a society we have to just try to keep it low enough not to destroy the health system, and so far whether it's younger people getting it, or lower viral load, or simply the fact that vulnerable people are keeping themselves safe, low hospital numbers have to be good news.
We can't keep all the children off school forever, we have to at least try, in my opinion. But it is very easy for me to say this as I no longer have children in school.
