As regards stats etc trained as a mathematician many years ago I therefore am not able to read much from the graphs presented given that the data is questionable and how and under what protocols it is collected hockey sticks and all. "My mum has completely lost the plot in isolation" that seems to me to be a key issue, here alcohol consumption gone up hugely, the towns are like ghost towns, there is not one reported case from south of Clonakilty to the tip of the Beara peninsula, our whole sub-region, fishermen were denied access to one port and landed their catch in Castletownbere, because locals blocked the other pier..in panic, as Gil said no one is reacting as yet because knows what to say, I sure don't. We seem to be undergoing a violent and rapid social and economic restructuring, the facts of the epidemic don't to me seem the most pressing issue, not of course withstanding that sufficient resources and support should be offered to those dealing with it and a reassessment of the destruction of the NHS rather than the creepy and fully fascistic affect of the "applause" rituals and the severe rupturing of social solidarity via "dobbing in" stories etc, it seems to me anyway. |
