The first July with over 3000 notices

This July we have seen 653 more deaths than July of 2020. That’s an increase of 27.6%¹July 2020 = 2362. July 2024 = 3015. See the maths for yourself on Calculator.net

Taking a broader view, these 3015 notices bring us to 21956 so far in 2024. This is up 2003 (10%) on the 19953 recorded by this stage of 2020.²Calculator.net³(2nd August update: Apologies. In the first issue of this post year-to-date figures up to and including June had been given. As you’ll see in this corrected version, when July is included, the year-to-date figure for 2024 is actually 10% ahead of 2020 (not 7.7% as suggested in the first version). Again, apologies for the mistake and if you have shared the original inaccurate post please consider deleting/updating/replacing it as appropriate. Thank you.)

Do you remember 2020 – when ministers, media, medical professionals, public servants, schools, universities, celebrities, sports clubs, corporations, unions and more were up-in-arms about the (supposedly) vast numbers dying?!

This June we’ve seen 20% (476) more deaths than June 2020.¹June 2020 = 2352. June 2024 = 2828. See the maths for yourself on Calculator.net Which keeps 2024 on course to exceed 2021 and match, if not outdo 2022 and/or 2023.

Yet, in marked contrast with 2020 (when less people were dying) the Irish media and public servants are not talking about it. Why?

This time four years ago you were hearing (non-stop!) about the numbers dying, and how the life changes being forced on you and society were warranted. Because we had to ‘save lives’.

Yet so far this year we’ve seen 874 more death notices than by the same time in 2020. But now there’s no official concern about saving lives. In fact there’s silence.

How come?

“Another truth that’s being suppressed”

We are very glad that, in Tuam on Saturday, an audience question raised our work with European Parliament candidates John Waters and Una McGurk.

Glad too that our inspiration Patrick E. Walsh was also referenced.

12,481 death notices in the first four months of 2020 – and media, public health and politicians were clamouring about the numbers dying.

635 more (13,116) in the first four months of 2024 – yet now media, public health and politicians are quiet about the greater numbers dying. Why?

How are the numbers in your county?

For March we counted 3177 death notices, bringing us to 10074 for the first quarter of 2024.. This is on par with the previous three years but up 15% on the first quarter of 2020.
