I don't have the energy to keep blocking 200 people like you every day.
None of whom ever discuss threads I invest a lot of time into and skip directly to personal attacks.
Near-universally "fans" of Sinn Fein giving me grief, too.
I have had enough of your nonsense. /1 https://twitter.com/fibromy/status/1319710908550098944

Many of my tweets are on what is happening in other parts of the world and funnily enough, nobody seems to abuse me for those.
I've written nearly 3,000 tweets on other countries to try keep people informed. https://twitter.com/Care2much18/status/1319429759697362945?s=20

My tweets on Ireland range from discussing things like ICU survival rates, contact tracing, positivity rates, hospitalisations.
I do one of these updates most days so people don't have to go trawling the internet to find out the situation: https://twitter.com/Care2much18/status/1319662135996198912?s=20

When I come across something I personally feel is unacceptable or a failure on a governmental level, I tweet about it in depth so everyone else can see it too.
It's called 'criticism'. https://twitter.com/Care2much18/status/1319139305646886912?s=20

I've done this consistently for months. https://twitter.com/Care2much18/status/1314388174228066304?s=20
I do this every week but the people who call me names try pretend these criticisms don't exist. https://twitter.com/Care2much18/status/1319378559765516290?s=20
There are plenty of other accounts to follow if you want to read someone abusing politicians 24/7.
I don't stick the boot into politicians North or South.
I support their efforts to keep people safe and voice my criticisms in a constructive way. https://twitter.com/Care2much18/status/1311314026081779712?s=20

This Sinn Fein politician delivered a brilliant speech in the Dáil, a nuanced one in the spirit of cooperation.
I praised it as a great speech because it was. If it was delivered by someone in FG or Greens I'd have praised it also. https://twitter.com/Care2much18/status/1315757718637096962?s=20

Supporting governments doesn't mean doing so uncriticially, as I've shown above.
I want the Northern Ireland assembly and the Irish government to do well, that is my starting position, because if they do well, fewer people die.
I find it sad people like you want them to fail.

Judging from your TL, you incredibly seem to think one of these situations is a disgrace and have absolutely nothing to say about the other one.
Nursing home outbreaks, Oct 24th:
Ireland: 37 (5 in Week 42)

ECDC's weekly surveillance report came out yesterday.
Here's a fact:
Ireland has a 19-week unbroken streak of outperforming the EU/EEA average for cases and deaths.
We've had fewer cases and deaths for 5 straight months, with not one blip above the EU/EEA average.

The Irish response since the challenging Spring Wave has been, on balance, magnificent.
People like you seem to think the totality of a response is 12 individuals in suits in Leinster House.
I think the response is 5 million people doing their best for each other.

Now, you are accusing me of "plucking stats out of my arse" but not actually disputing the stats - because they are correct.
I seldom get a stat wrong because I obsess over making sure it is correct before I post it.

Your next fact-free argument is "test and trace is a shambles".
Ireland is testing among EU leading rates, that is a fact you can educate yourself on by reading this thread. https://twitter.com/Care2much18/status/1318538847567941633?s=20

For the pandemic period combined, Ireland is 11th highest in the entire world for PCR tests per million, in populations over 2 million.
Top 11:
1. Denmark
2. Singapore
3. Hong Kong
4. Israel
5. Russia
6. Belgium
7. Lithuania
8. Australia

UAE, UK, USA, Spain include antibody and/or antigen testing in their headline testing numbers.
If we include all of them, Ireland is 15th most tested country in the world during the pandemic.
Your subjective idea of a "shambles" is "objectively world class testing".

That world class testing is done by world class Irish people.
They don't have enough resources or personnel, and that would be a fair criticism to make of successive Governments since the 80's.
I consistently advocate for Medical Scientists. https://twitter.com/Care2much18/status/1313895726661931009?s=20

The same criticism re: funding applies on tracing.
I wrote a thread on the collapse of contact tracing in Europe and how Ireland's Public Health teams have done a wonderful job in the pandemic.
Because they have. https://twitter.com/Care2much18/status/1319378568451923969?s=20

You people seem intent on trying to bully me out of my opinions through personal attacks.
My opinion is Irish society, Irish institutions and experts have done a phenomenal job.
Everywhere I look, fantastic work is being done - from labs to ICU. https://twitter.com/Care2much18/status/1318510437932126213?s=20

It's easy to sit on Twitter moaning 24/7.
I try use the hours of my day to contribute something useful, that might actually help people.
Attacking and abusing me for that says more about you than it will ever say about me.
