The RoI has a population density of 69 people per sqkm. The UK has a population density of 281 people per sqkm.

Viruses spread more aggressively the closer people are together. The clue is in the need to "social distance".

It's apples & oranges. But you carry on punting BS. https://twitter.com/laineydoyle/status/1249127908876128259

As someone else has alluded to in this thread. She has completely left out the Netherlands & Belgium in the comparisons. I wonder why? Oh, that's right, they are the 2 other very densely populated places in Europe, barring the UK. And they have relatively high death rates.

It's a shame really that at a time like this people are still being Tory hating ideologues. There is a time and a place. And if we need to beat the Tories over a head with a stick, it's right that we do. But using countries such as the RoI to do it is just pathetic.
