      Somehow I get the distinct impression the drama critic doesn’t enjoy the play.

        Per Capita, the only real comparison metric, Ireland sucks as much as the USA, and we aren’t even close to countries like Spain and Italy. I selected these countries to view, I’m sure there are many more worse than the USA when viewed per capita.

          Wow, tough crowd. All he did was link to an Irish newspaper article.

          No link in the original post.

          It was sent to me via text, I tried to pull it off net, but Irish Times won't let you view it without buying a subscription first.

            As 89th pointed out, why would Ireland pity us? They are actually in a little worse shape, and Europe as a whole is far worse, both per capita and actual numbers...

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      My Irish family love Donald Trump. They think he's an enormous craic.

                        The "per capita brigade"? Is there now a debate about whether the number of people who exist has some bearing on the number of people who get the virus? What point is the "anti-per-capita-brigade" side trying to make?

                        Education is extremely important.

                          I believe the 'Per-Capita Brigade' are a dissident branch of the regular Fire Brigade, who will only come out if the building has more than 4 occupants.
