Heart disease and suicide shot up
Unfortunately I would imagine suicide just wasn’t reported as such in 1911. Didn’t go down too well with the church.
25 people died of tb in 2011? wtf
AIDS-related TB?
Then it’d be… 25 people died of AIDS / AIDS related disease in 2011… I would have thought.
Very few die of the AIDS virus itself.
TB is still very common in the UK and Ireland. It just kills far fewer people these days. The days of grey faced people isolated in cold places are long gone
And increasingly drug-resistant
HAHAHA WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE
They must have done some childbearing on those ships: “It is estimated that as many as 4.5 million Irish arrived in America between 1820 and 1930.” https://www.loc.gov/teachers/classroommaterials/presentationsandactivities/presentations/immigration/irish2.html
Not that odd, considering 2.1million of those left between 1845 and 1852.
So while the upper classes were poncing around Dublin declaring independence the rest of Ireland was living in abject poverty!
Hurrah to the rebels! Maybe they should have scrapped their “revolution” and used some of their vast wealth to help the tenement dwellers.
1916, let’s celebrate that.
Gained “independence”, lost a part of our tiny island.
We are a mad little country.
Not like with like at all
In 1911 the work place was very different
From farming to making biscuits
From milling grain, to building ships
Even if you were a clerk
Manpower numbers were significantly different
