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.

The guy has had primary control over what an Irish citizen could do for 15 months now

I put no credibility in his words but he does have power to determine what my democratic freedom is so I will listen to them

An attitude like yours is why Irish media is in such a bad place right now

The only figure that matters now is how many with the virus need to go to hospital.

Between 30th of May and 6th of June there were 1035 new admissions in the UK with 36,736 new cases.

That’s 2.8% which is great news really.

Questions are being asked over there, they’re worried about their freedom day when they’ve had a lot more freedom than we’ve had to this point, I’m surprised that there aren’t more questions raised here to be honest. We seem to be waiting for the Armageddon variant to take hold, maybe we could use the massive fecking blue thing surrounding us to our advantage.

His job is to assess the situation from a medical perspective and make recommendations on which government decides.

He controls nothing.

That first tweet is very encouraging if the figures are accurate

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.

In many ways, any person going through such an awful experience, should not have been left in such a position. The government should have put him on indefinite compassionate leave at the time.

There were 741 hospital admissions on 27 February. I don’t see the numbers released for today yet but it’s likely to be ~200.

The difference is massive.

It would take a million cases a week now to get to January level of hospital admissions.

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.

1200 cases per day in the height of summer. And yet some ot the usual suspects on this and other threads in this forum still desperately claim that Covid is seasonal. Clueless.

Funnily enough last year we went from 105 to 75 cases in hospital on June 10th.
Great date for a drop in numbers.

59 is some number.

Remember when it was north of 2,000 in Jan

Fantastic numbers! No doubt there will be a small increase during the day tomorrow but Reid should keep doing this if he receives the data. Has made my day seeing that figure!

Bull****, he's highly influential and you know it. He's akin to the only qualified driver on a bus carrying a peoples on roads, only he can navigate and anticipate, in a land where he's designated as the only man who speaks the language.

he has the room and he cannot stop tweeting about it.

He'll have his very own Christian Jessen moment if he keeps it up, it's only a matter of time. that's the beauty of vanity.

His buddy Doctor doom nearly had one with his Aldi/LIDL tweet too remember.

Still can’t get over the rate it’s dropping has kept up, really expected it to slow with smaller numbers. Obviously people do longer stints in ICU so that number drops slower, but we’re not far off ICU being more than general hospital inpatients. Add in the news of St James today and it’s very very positive.

it would want to be based on the "efficaciousness" claims coming from Luke O'Neil. so it seems all is well OR the vaccines are not nearly as good, in which case what's the point of it all??

Either way, we have to face some hard truths..it's all at an end..or the Vaccines are a croc.

take your pic anyone, the former will upset RTE anyway..

Back to melting ice caps and Gretta thundra reports for poor oul Faux science correspondent George lee.

With 113,064 hospital admissions in the UK in January if you take the June average so far (1st to 6th is available on gov.uk) of a 2.85% hospitalisation rate to cases it equals 3.9 million new cases needed to get to that January number of hospital admissions.

Over a month that’s about 130,000 cases per day, the daily average in January was about 43,000.

I don’t see why that rate would increase now, it’s been on a downtrend since January, which makes sense because the older are vaccinated and the younger generally don’t need hospital care when they get the virus.

If that rate starts to increase then obviously it is concerning, but there are plenty of cases now and it hasn’t increased so signs are very promising. It looks like the hospitals are safe and the “freedom day” can go ahead, people can do their own risk assessment, they can sit in their home until they get both doses or they can choose not to because it shouldn’t effect the hospitals.

They’ll probably leave the decision until end of next week to see where that rate is at. If it’s still hovering around 2-3% all systems are go I would think.

Edit: just seen the announcement is Monday

It sounds like you would prefer the bus driver was blind and had no licence but kept the passengers cheered up with a sing song .

I know which bus I'd take.

If those were the only options you’d be making the right choice.

I’d like an option where the bus driver is qualified but just drives the bus to a destination and schedule not mostly decided by him.

We all want to get to the destination but the schedule (and route) is decided by the virus. People blocking the road by acting the eejit just causes delays and detours.

Maybe Holohan is right https://www.einnews.com/pr_news/543484341/stop-using-innova-sars-cov-2-antigen-rapid-qualitative-test-fda-safety-communication.

A Dáil committee took advice this week from "an international authority on antigen testing" Dr Michael Mina. He disputed CMO's view. Within 24 hours of his testimony FDA issued a warning letter about this device!

That's one test that is not even FDA approved?

There are many different versions of these tests that are FDA or in our case ECDC approved

They were abandoned as quick as they were rolled out...

Remember level 3 and a half!!!

No metrics were issued that would guide the progress from one level to the next.

The thing was torn up a few weeks into it...pathetic.
