But simple Simon knows better than to do that.. :rolleyes:https://nypost.com/2020/03/03/heath-expert-calls-on-ireland-to-cancel-st-patricks-day-parade-amid-coronavirus-fears/https://www.irishpost.com/news/virologist-urges-ireland-cancel-st-patricks-day-parade-over-coronavirus-180925 I linked the show earlier in the thread. It's much better to have people panicking, than to have any solid decisions made by The Incompetents. He may have already cancelled the parade, but just not told anyone so they still turn up. Isn't that how he works?

"I know when it comes to cause a great disappointment to many, but it is important to make decisions in relation to public health above and beyond all other considerations.”

Every single one of them that I heard, said that they would cancel the flights, and that wasn't done. While I would imagine at this stage the damage is mostly done, It makes no sense to go ahead with the parade and accelerate it. Any experts that I have seen or heard asked about the parade have said that they would cancel it. But their opinion is of no consequence to caretaker minister of health and the department he is currently presiding over.

Release bad news when there is a bigger story dominating - distract attention when something you don't like is happening. Do you think that would be beyond the FG that Leo has built? Not likely, it has his incompetent, clumsy fingerprints all over it.

If it wasn't a distraction stunt it was to try and look like they were doing something. Because if their intent was to prevent the spread of this disease they couldn't have gotten it more mindbogglingly and pathetically wrong.
