What did he say specifically? I'm not able to watch it atm but I would have thought anything which ensures the continued integrity of the supply chains would be acceptable.

I forget what he said. Maybe someone else can look back and help you out. He's not impressed. Something to do with travel coming in. He doesn't recommend the incoming travelling or something like that.

People didn't realise that humans were required to pick fruit until yesterday.

Holohan being asked about Keeling's is a bit embarrassing tbh. It has nothing to do with him

Presumably part of his "expert advice" is to maintain unrestricted entry at airports---so this has everything to do with him

He was asked if he had any specific advice to give to keelings I think, which he emphatically said NO to, he said he had only heard the speculation but he would remind companies that there is specific guidance provided for travel and that they would be revising this guidance on the basis of need. He also added that other European countries will be lifting restrictions including travel and that NPHET will have to keep an eye on it.

That's simply not true. If we had either of those doctors with their wealth of experience, I'm sure the government would be more than happy to have them calling the shots or acting in some advisory capacity. Do you have ANY idea how ridiculously accomplished either of those doctors are? It's simply ludicrous to think they would be sidelined when they could be used as assets instead.

"Cocooning" isn't even mandatory, it's just recommended (and for good reason) -- and you can bet both Dr Fauci and Dr Nanshan have not been placed in any situations where they could possibly contract the virus. A crisis can be managed without exposing yourself to the frontline - in fact, for the sake of the continued functioning of government as efficiently as possible, that's how it's supposed to be.

False equivalences and misinformation such as those found above in the post I have quoted give libertarianism a bad name, and frankly libertarianism is embarrassing itself as an ideology in recent days with those reckless antics in Michigan and beyond.

This 'cocooning' or 'shielding' in the UK is straight out of the 'Herd Immunity' handbook. Let the virus run wild and lock the over 70s up for 4 months or more.

I am in agreement with the sentiments echoed here.

More disgusting than the shambles that is protection for nursing home residents?

I said almost two months ago if we didn't try our best to stop the spread to Ireland, we'd be in deep sh*t down the line.

Others more influential than me also said it. All ignored by the HSE and minister for health. The direct consequences of their inaction were deaths in homes like those in Port Laoise.

So save me the virtue signalling and moral grand standing. We could have saved these lives if we acted earlier. Instead they were condemned to a needless death because of HSE and government failures and inaction.

Wriggle, wriggle, wriggle. In your usual rush to post something... anything, your mouth got ahead of your brain and you made a disgraceful and disgusting comment. Be a man and take it back.

Another high number of deaths and a 23 year old among the dead.

owlbethere · 17-04-2020 05:39PM

Tony said it again, he doesnt want to see inwards travelling except for essential reasons.

Keelings are really in a jam now.

I guess Tony made a mistake earlier when he said the dead were aged between 25 and 105?

easypazz · 17-04-2020 05:42PM

I would say the keelings thing will see a clampdown at airports.

Same as sweet caroline done in the pubs

And people packing beaches did away with going to beauty spots and holiday homes.

Only about 250 a day arrive into dublin now.

Not difficult to interview everybody, get quarantine address, copy of passport and 500€ bond.

If the garda call within 14 days and they are not there they loose the money.

At the end of 14 days they get money back.

Widdensushi · 17-04-2020 05:45PM

did he say the most people to die in a single day was 39 on the 7th ?Are some of today's announced deaths older information. Sorry if I picked it up totally wrong, I was not able to watch it properly.

phormium · 17-04-2020 05:45PM

A 23yr old since day one of counting, the death range has been between 23 and 105 overall is what I think was said. Don't think the 23 yr old was in today's numbers.

They really don't want to change their tune on that though, the airlines will probably stop being cooperative with them on issues they need assistance with. Tony quotes the example of a technician being brought in if the MRI machine breaks but I'm quite sure there's are specific areas that are not referenced.

Something like that

The daily number is deaths registered not deaths that occurred the day before

Wonder will they hit the 100k per week of tests?

Yes. The figure we get each day is notified deaths. They're trying to speed up notification. That's important clarification we didn't get before. Highest day was 6th but more could yet come in for other days,

Another high number of deaths, can't believe a 23 year is amongst the dead!
