Right lads were ****ed.

It seems all along our experts have made a balls of it.

Anyone got a plan b?

Beasty · 10-04-2020 07:34PM

Taken time to explain the information? State the facts and explain what those facts are in terms of what information is being analysed, and what the results represent.

No queue to get tested. That's great and I assume we won;t see anyone on here saying they are waiting an appointment

Germany will clear the backlog early next week - so by Wednesday no-one should be complaining they have had to wait more than a few days for results

They are the assurances. I may be quoting this post in a few days time though....

On a personal note, I for one find Tony Holohan's voice incredibly relaxing. Anyone else?

Because just adding them to today’s number gives a false picture. They are not new tests, just delayed results

That's BS.
If they're real test results, report them, or else don't report the test result figures at all.
Fvck in spin spin spin.... I'm no fan of Lee but about some someone asked a few questions from the HSE. Most all of the journalists are busy clapping the HSE, the government and little old Ireland on the back the few weeks, and nobody questioning anything at all.
I'm surprised at Lee tbh, but he's right to call out the BS if he sees it.
Why not just report the rests, we're they going to feed the in on Holy Saturday or Easter Sunday when people were distracted and not watching the news or what?

tobefrank321 · 10-04-2020 07:35PM

I missed the start of the CMO briefing.

Are the German figures included in daily numbers or not?

When was contact tracing done on the German positive cases?

And are they from a backlog or up to date?

George lee is clueless, always has been, and when he tried to actually do something rather than just moan about stuff he does not understand he was shown up completely and slinked off back to RTÉ with his tail between his legs

Please explain the rational of there approach with there information to the public.

George was right..

Actually the first three journalist put Tony over the same issue.

After today's "update" I suspect I may be drawing up the OP this evening...

Do you want the total cases or the other total cases?

They cannot be added into the 'new daily cases' as they are weeks old - older ones were sent to Germany to clear the backlog.

Yes.
Some are very old so probably done anyway
In next five days backlog will be cleared.

I find he comes across as reassuringly factual and accurate

This stuff is awful easy when you are hurling from the ditches.

tobefrank321 · 10-04-2020 07:39PM

The results from the last 6 days have been multiples of 5. Odd.

I thought I had already found my favourite boards phrases of the day earlier with jimgoose's "knit-your-own-tofu saggy-titted agri-lesbians" but I think now that "omnishambles" wins by a squeak, if only for pithiness.

Kind of, yeah, in a hypnotic kind of way.

Oh I’m not watching the briefing and when I heard George was there I definitely would not turn it on. George always over complicated simple data, questions irrelevant details, ignores the obvious and generally always seeks to find controversy or sensation rather than the truth. If in this instance his points were merited, ok, but in general any report or interview I see him do leads me to the remote as it he never adds anything to a story

Well that might be retconned if they start randomly sticking in the German figures.

MD1990 · 10-04-2020 07:41PM

they should just have added the cases from germany today & just said it was a backlog of tests.

If anything it would be good put more people on alert this weekend & the next few weeks to stick to social distancing.

They've held their hands up quite a bit this week on testing issues.

4 stage strategy.

So those German ones happened up to 2 weeks ago and so aren’t important in understanding the current situation.

However they were important to our understanding of how the disease evolved.

They should be added to the date where the test occurred. We could see the daily evolution clearer.

It just sounds like the extra thousand isn’t important.

7k vs 8k is important.

The people doing the modelling will have that data now, including when and where tests were taken. They are the people who really need that data.

Important to remember, there will always be more people with the virus than the total cases reported, so the total reported is just an indicator.

I'm looking forward to seeing Ryan Tubridy on TV tonight. I hope he talks about his experience.

phonypony · 10-04-2020 07:44PM

I really worry now with these continuous cretinous questions that the panel will go away from this questioning themselves and their clarity and start rethinking their delivery of the figures...

People should be alert already, but instead they are cruising off to their holiday homes and taking their entire families out to the supermarket. I went to my supermarket earlier and there was a mighty queue of people all standing on top of each other, not even a metre between most of them. That's exactly how it spreads. Sick of watching people being so careless.

Paul Cullen of the Irish Times. His articles are like that too sometimes.
