How can they just start producing PUW / WFI needed for the process- set up a dispensary then compounding. That’s only if they make it in bulk , then explain how they will get that bulk product out out of the tank and fill it into bottles - ah a fill line which will be another graded area . It’s so easy though . To set up and validate the above is around 4 years . It’s like trump signing off on a order for General Motors to stop making cars and start making ventilators - that’s fine looks like he is calling the shots but in reality how long is it going to be before a company that’s makes cars will be able to successfully make a ventilator then start production on it - the pandemic will be long gone again that happens.

Wouldn’t have been noticed except the same accounts are all over FGs tweets etc congratulating them on such a great job. Cos @MAGA38463846837 really suddenly cares about Simon Harris performance this week.

A quick glance at the author's Twitter will reveal a childish, self entitled view of the world. Sure, everyone is entitled to have their opinion and in my opinion the article is $hit.

How are they going to build a house for €65k, even if we assume construction inflation remains at zero, and all are built on land already in public ownership? And let's be generous and assume that any project comes in 100% over budget - how do you build a home for €130k? Where, for example, is the labour going to come from to build these homes? Are SF going to recruit a direct labour force or contract the work out to developers and builders? And under either of those models does building homes for €130k sound even remotely achievable? It may well be do-able but if it is, would you want to live in any home built under that type of programme?

Sultan_of_Ping wrote: » Ok, and what in your opinion are the difficulties and logistics issues and how will they be overcome? Don't stop now - you felt secure enough to say the pharma sector could "step-up" - so how can they step-up (reagent production aside) and what are the constraining factors or barriers stopping them from stepping up and/or taking a bigger step up? I'm only asking because I work in the medical device area and I'm hoping for some ideas I can pass off as my own Should we swap over (step up) to doing Covid-19 work or just beetle away with what we're doing?

Come on...before you go with the invective...cost it for us? *deflection or more invective incoming.
Data trumps invective every day of the week FH.
*Nice to get the old invective in there before you go to bed! I have actually outworked you by 2 years, if that matters at all.

Why are you saying that media didn’t ask the hard questions when it was clear the Irish Times did and even suggested that the report was published when the public were distracted. And why did it take the Irish Central another 6 days to publish theirs. Why weren’t they all over this? Also, the Irish Central Article directly quoted the Times, Examiner and the Journal to make their points. It’s strange that you give out about mouthpiece journalism and heap praise on an article that is predominantly made up of said mouthpiece journalism.

The issue was...'could pharma companies step up - Yes they can, by their OWN admission. And could pharma switch production - and the answer to that again - is clearly, that they can. The nuances and logistics of the above wasn't the point. Of course there will be challenges to 'step up to'.

Not all of us can stay at home and get paid for it .
