COVID-19 in IRELAND - updated 8th April.
A further 25 people have died from COVID-19 in Ireland.
Let’s view this a bit differently – I’ve plotted the same data 3 ways:
1. Log scale (has been the standard)
2. Linear scale
3. Per 100k People

Most countries were experiencing exponential growth in early days of the spread, however in many countries the number of deaths is now increasing at a steadier rate. Using a linear scale can make sense – however it means that comparisons with smaller countries are difficult.
One obvious way to solve this is by viewing this per 100k people. The reason NI & ROI start off quite high in this chart is because we picked a common starting point of 10 deaths – and this was not weighted differently for each country.
