"Oh it'll be the BLM protest fault when the 2nd wave arrives!"

"It'll be that Iraqi family in Sligo fault!

"It'll be the 30 MAGA lads fault, my cousin's friend's brother's girlfriend told me about them on whatsapp"

"It'll be the yellow reg Brits fault!

All of it bullshit.
It was the same xenophobic nonsense we saw re: Italian rugby fans in March.

There remains zero evidence they caused any spike but it doesn't stop people to this day complaining about Italians.

Spikes or 2nd waves will be the fault of IRISH people, not Italians or Americans.
Some people would want to get a grip.

Last 30 days, new cases:

Ireland: 351
Europe: 373,952

Last 30 days, EU/EEA area only, average daily new cases:

Ireland: 11.7
EU/EEA: 49.3

That's 50 cases a day we'd need to have in Ireland just to be doing the same as the rest of EU.
We're doing PHENOMENALLY despite bizarre attempts from doom-and-gloom merchants to blame BLM, Iraqis, Americans, Brits.

It'll be covid19 and Irish people to blame if we have a resurgence of the virus - the resilience of a novel coronavirus and complacency of 5 million here.
Isolated incidents like Dame Lane, society rightly went

"There's always one, would ye lot cop on thanks".

We're doing everything right in this country across-the-board: test/trace, to hand hygiene, new app-uptake, infection-control teams in meat plants & LTCF.

All of it A+
Stop looking for people to blame if things theoretically go wrong.

Focus on the fact what all of you are doing has been working consistently well for 60 days now.

If we keep doing what we're doing, from the government down to the people, we'll be just fine.
Severe flu season kills over 1,000 in Ireland, where do you think that comes from? Magic?

Southeast Asia via Spain/UK via air travel in normal flu seasons is the heterogeneity in transmission.

Nobody goes on search parties for yellow reg cars or American accents over flu.
Nobody sits at home with a dose of flu thinking "that English wanker who did business in Dublin, it's all his fault" or "fucking Malaysians it's all their fault" because that would be absolute nonsense.

It's nobody else's fault.
Blaming any nationality for the spread of a respiratory virus is dangerous delusion.

Racist and xenophobic nonsense usually, very similar to people blaming the Chinese.

Wash your hands, stay 6 feet away from people and you won't have to blame anybody because you won't get it!!
Jamaica opened to US tourists on June 15th, 29 days ago.

They've had 110 new cases (3.7 per day) in the 29 days since.

They had 109 new cases (3.7 per day) in the 29 days before it.

Nothing changed, because what matters is infection control measures within a country.
Am I suggesting we copy Jamaica and allow US tourism?

NO.

I'm suggesting to you that the xenophobic fear of American's like they're all carrying the plague and will bring the end-of-days with them is ridiculous on its face.

Because it is ridiculous.
We're doing supremely well to contain covid19.

The reason we're doing so well is all of you are sound, empathetic people who are taking the health of your family, friends, neighbours and countrymen & women seriously.

Keep doing what you're doing, stop looking for scapegoats.
