FG to just do nothing for the next 5 years.

A spokeswoman for the HSE confirmed that it is “replenishing stocks and while not all centres will have sufficient supplies to recommence testing today [Monday], we hope to be fully operational across all sites tomorrow.”

Fully operational now Francie, no issues.
I thought you were asking about the present time.
there has of course been issues over the last couple of weeks.

It's 15000/day capacity is the aim, we only ramped up from 2000/day to 4500/day 10 days ago.

Can you accept that there were issues Augeo?

Are you big enough, on foot of Simon Coveney accepting it, to put your hands up and say...there were issues with testing...and that there will be more issues, as is normal.
It isn't called a 'crisis' or an 'emergency' for the craic.

Taking a break from running the country no doubt, to handwave away and downplay!

Jaysus, the butt hurt on here if someone dare criticise or ask a question.

There were of course issues, there was a 40,000 backlog. That was at the time an issue.
Lot's off issues were caused by the rabble who clog up our GP clinics every day of the week wanting a test as they'd smokers cough as per usual.

I'd not class your nephew spiel as an issue though, I'd file that under the yellow vest brigade acting the gnome.
What are your nephew's symptoms again and has he self isolated apart from his voyages to test centres?

Yes they are huge problems, but FFS what do you think is going on.

Do you work in health system?
Do you work in health equipment business, because I fookin do and my other half works in health service as healthcare professional.

It doesn't matter who is in power we are ...
1.
dependent on a historically badly functioning health system which is ill prepared for normal operation never mind the worst pandemic in modern history.
BTW that ill functioning health system is down to ALL politicians, unions, representative bodies and the general public that tolerates and often supports a system setup for the benefit of a huge chunk of the staff and not the public.

And that does not detract from the trojan work being done by the vast vast majority of the health service staff who are often risking their lives for others.
But there are still the fooking shysters in there who have used this as an excuse for time off.
Trust me on that last point.

2.
even if we had the best health system in the world we would not be prepared for this type of scenario as it is unprecedented.

3.
This is worldwide so we are one of many trying to source much needed medical supplies. And contrary to that gimp health minister in UK, everybody and anybody can't just start making ventilators and the like.

4.
we are now part of a very small world where people are travelling all over the place for pleasure as well as work.
No place on earth I think bar maybe the Antartic hasn't been hit with this.

So stop trying to score fooking political points.

Could the government have done better?
Yes I think they could.
They could have brought in a lockdown earlier to stop the gimps wandering around and stopped flights from some places.

But I know damn well you and others would be on here complaining about the Nazi attitudes of the Blueshirts if they did those things.

WTF do you think Mary Lou would be doing if she was in ?
Where the fook do you think sinn fein would find the needed medical kit?
It aint something the lads in South Armagh can fooking knock out of a weekend.

Isn't it enough we have to listen to your type waffling about finding money from thin air, do we know have to listen to you waffle on about finding medical kit from thin air as well.

Is there a magic medical kit tree as well? :rolleyes:

Right on the money. Good health to you and yours. Shinnernomics have become Shinnermedics all of a sudden. Mouths.

Nice display of 'we don't need anyone's advice arrogance on show here'.

Doesn't augur well for a coalition government tbh.

And NOTHING what you said actually has anything to do with my point.

The government, the Gardai and health officials have been at pains to tell people to stop posting and sharing unverified 'facts' online and on social media....
But here we have our resident watcher on the wall, all things FG and SF posts up $hite and fake facts.

Cant.make.it.up!

this is so apt - in regard to the S.F. cohort. who are Vehemently Up-To-Speed with technology.

and, the s.f. targeting of non-s.f. voters, in this way; is only exceeded by their targeting (and blackmail?) of actual computer engineers themselves.

repression.

It must be said though, that FG and FF are not at all unaware of this - their usual 'blind-eye'.

The responses to popular posts on Irish Twitter are unbelievable at the best of times. Yellow-vesters, conspiracy nuts, Gemma O'Dohery fans, fascists, racists, communists, narcissists like Paddy Cosgrave, bots and your auntie Mary with her latest drooling hot take.

Maybe give them a miss.

That was the big problem, that was why they had to change the criteria.

We had every idiot who went to the airport since January thinking that they needed a test.

Once again blanch you must default to the standard tactic of reverting to an argument no one is presenting, people have been urged to get themselves tested if they are displaying symptoms of covid 19, I covered this yesterday.

My neighbour was displaying 3/3 symptoms. You were told this on no less than 3 occasions yesterday,he's now apparently an idiot for doing what the govt under advice from health experts have advised him to do.

It's quite evident now that your debating standards are laid bare as a barrelscraper, one of, if not the most disingenuous posters on this site.

Seemingly, according to a poster on here...people concerned about their lives and health and the health of those around them are 'idiots'.

Except his relations of course.

Eeh. Following govt/hse guidelines. The idiots.

There's a familiar theme on this thread emerging now, posters who know people who, going by govt guidelines, and seeking tests and due to displaying symptoms who never got them are idiots and hypochondriacs - clogging up the system.

Meanwhile - FG cheerleaders all know people who were genuine cases, because they were displaying symptoms and therefore are bona fide cases all got there's in record time, so too the results.

There's a level of arrogance and hypocrisy about it that you couldn't make up.

Yes, you would wonder where the 'idiot' tipping point is? When is the label bestowed?

Is it when you react to the symptoms and seek a test?

Or when the doctor pronounces that your test is negative?

Blanch? Any guidelines on this?
