I love all these blithe statements based on no evidence whatsoever

That is rather shocking to see alright, might be the first time ISAG haven't abused a situation to fearmonger

Every single one of their presentations and the CMO letters says otherwise.

Sometimes I wonder if there exists another NPHET organisation that I'm not aware of? There's definitely a NPHET that exists in thread that I can't find anywhere in reality.

After that he's heading to Rome for an audience with the pope I believe!!!

By all accounts that was definitely his plan prior to the pandemic but i cant see him getting it now tbh. Every decision or recommendation he has given in the last year will be picked apart and thrown back at him during a campaign.

Also he still has the cervical check scandal hanging over him.

Sure isn't that why he brought the bat soup to the country in the first place?

His letters may say otherwise but that ill-advised tweet (that he still stands over) did not.

Yeah the same places who had blue collar workers warned if they voted for BREXIT the international factories would close.

They voted for BREXIT and the factories closed.

There’s quite possibly a correlation to buying into conspiracy theories online etc etc. You’re seeing similar issues in parts of the US too.

25% of cases in the North are the Indian variant. Projections today state there could 1200 cases per day by July 1st. I'm not a misery guys or a doom monger. Just relaying what they said.

Be nice if anybody could tell us what the current death rate from Covid is?

Source for those projections ?? I've googled and can't find anything other than public health saying the situation is stable

Just curious to read it

Edit: found it buried in the executives website

It is interesting that the delta variant is present in many countries but we are only seeing fast growth in the UK. The EU is largely using Pfizer whereas the UK is largely using AZ. I wonder as more data emerges will it turn out that Pfizer is doing a much better job at stopping the spread of delta, compared to AZ.

I found this

"In addition, while vaccination remains effective it is somewhat less effective against Delta variant compared with Alpha variant.

"In the event of the Delta variant becoming dominant, modelling indicates the potential for a significant fresh surge of positive cases and hospitalisations by late summer/early autumn.

"It needs to be emphasised that this is by no means inevitable. Modelling is not a prediction and there are many uncertainties in every potential scenario."

The Delta variant was first confirmed in Northern Ireland in early May.

https://www.rte.ie/news/2021/0610/1227395-delta-variant-update/

No mention of 1200 cases a day by July though

Was it George Lee by any chance who made this statement?

The amount of haters of an honest man doing his job is unreal.
And all of this while his wife suffered and died from cancer. It's only been four months since she passed away.

Imagine thinking that a man tending to his ill wife when he's not working has hidden agendas. Just unreal how crazy so many have become.

We need to be watching Northern Ireland, they were canary in the coal mine before we went mad and opened up for Christmas and hundreds lost their lives as a result.

The delay in adding India to the Red list in the UK is the source of this bs. Boris had a trip planned to India regarding a new trade deal and IMO the delay was due to this. Then once it was announced India would be added to the red list , it wasn't enacted for weeks. In that time over 126 direct flights landed in the UK from India whilst it was out of control there. Its sickening.

Do people just trawl through Twitter for tweets they don't like, so that they can be triggered for weeks? It's hard to understand why some people are so obsessed with Tony H. I certainly wouldn't spend any time reading what he puts up on Twitter.
