Minister for Health Simon Harris has apologised for making what he called an “awful boo-boo” by incorrectly saying during a radio interview that there were 18 other coronaviruses before Covid-19. Mr Harris made the error when explaining during an interview on RTÉ 2FM’s breakfast show on Wednesday why a vaccine may not be found for the current coronavirus for some time. “Remember this is coronavirus Covid-19 - that means there have been 18 other coronaviruses and I don’t think they have actually successfully found a vaccine for any,” he said in the interview.https://www.irishtimes.com/news/health/simon-harris-sorry-for-awful-boo-boo-about-18-viruses-before-covid-19-1.4235478?mode=amp

I'm not a particular fan of this iteration of FG, and Simon wont go down as the greatest minister of all time to put it mildly, but he's probably running on fumes at this stage.

Amazing how FG FF say their will be no increase in taxes. The Greens tell us to grow lettuce. PBP Sol are telling us all not to blame China or WHO. What a circus

If I could sum them up in their basic form Leo, doing whatever we have to, to get back to the country we have been. Very vague on who was going to pay the price to achieve that. Mary Lou, changing how we do things completely and putting the people first. Making sure that it is not the same people who pay for this 'crisis' as it was the last time. Really what we will be left with is a political landscape that is unchanged other than the stakes have gotten a lot higher.

The chap had issues. We should be looking at the suggested issues not pissing on his standing. Harris has zero health background but you seem to take him seriously based on him being in his post.
