    I’ve seen the numbers reported that way by journalists but the hse operations report doesn’t line up. Example, there is someone in ICU in mercy but the acute bed graph has none shown. Same last week, Tallaght showed none in general beds but one in ICU.

    Yeah which is what my understanding of it was, 1 number was acute beds and the other was ICU. Not that the main number was the total of both

    I understand why Russia is getting the third degree for potentially trying to hack and steal vaccine research but why the hell should they have to do that to see this research? Vaccine research should be shared globally, no?

    It's clear enough that NPHET/Glynn have a quite different view on travel to the government.

    NPHET has no input into the green list. F*ck me.

    Glynn is not happy with the government, this press conference has basically confirmed that

    I'm thinking this is not NPHET's fault.

    But what's the ratio of Irish people bringing it back, or people visiting the country bringing it in?

    As opposed to doing something else ? George lee was the guy who on twitter said "great!" When the German lab results were added into the total numbers whenever that was. I'd no issue with the numbers been added to give an accurate number but I don't think tweeting "great!" is an acceptable response from a journalist from our national broadcaster.

    Shooting messengers seems to be the main recreational amusement for some.

    "100% safe environment" he claims. Is it hermetically sealed and everyone is tested negative before entry?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,172 ✭✭✭wadacrack



    Not the best idea to post that on twitter

    There is no data to support a huge increase in testing outside hospital, care settings, etc. The rise in testing was because they went in and did another wave of proactive sweeps. We have plenty of testing capacity in the system.
    Community testing relies on the public to come forward if they experience any symptom no matter how mild. The message from NPHET has been for a while now to come forward and contact your GP to be tested.

    But we are seeing that even those who were contact traced and required to be tested are just refusing to do it.

    We can target testing in controlled healthcare environments but we can't control the public.

    Because other countries have had cases in bars (tiny amount) that is a reason not to open them here

    Neither would I. Take away it's pubs the way it was handled was very unfair.

    Glynn is confident government will bring measures in to combat the travel issue

    Glynn is noticeably uncomfortable with some of these questions
