    Bleach kills it - Trump asks if it could be injected

    He does follow a certain doctor who led to idiots usingt it to try and cure autism, so not really surprised at the question.

    Josepha Madigan on VM fronting for FG, OMG, she wouldn't even make a substitute bridge club VP. Had to switch it off.

    Madigan is a very poor politician and should have got her marching orders in GE2020. Dublin tends to elect very poor FG TDs.

    Not up to Harris to set the testing criteria. All well and good to say widen it out, but doing that at the wrong time could have every idiot that has a sniffle looking for test and look where that got us at the start.

    Like I said its NPHET decision and they meet tomorrow where they've said this is to be discussed.

    People with symptoms are being told to isolate regardless of test, it's far from the perfect system.

    As for the example you've given it just shows how thick some people are.
    That the same NPHET that was set up by Simon Harris, with personnel mainly derived from MOH, which doesn't even minute it's meetings.

    That NPHET which seeks direction from the minister, offers advice to the Minister who then decides what to accept.

    That NPHET?

    Bad parenting.


    you reap what you sow. people are very willing to dump their parents in nursing homes without hardly ever visiting. all you ever had to do was look at the visitor sign in books in nursing homes to see the lack of visits to other patients.

    kids are raised by child minders and school teachers.

    and then people wonder why their kids don't show much empathy or concern towards them when things get tough. they've been taught not to by the actions of their own parents.

    The reporters should back each other up and leave when he abuses them, they are as bad as Trump.

    My uncle passed away from it last Thursday, my Aunt and their children were allowed go in and say goodbye, not one of them were tested just told to get in touch if they have symptoms.

    Sorry to hear that

    Is any contact tracing being done anymore, also I thought contact with a confirmed positive case meant test

    Why are there multiple test centres set up all over the country but completely vacant? Seem to have been set up in the early days but they are clearly not operating.

    Was it a PR exercise? I think the press releases on a daily basis are also now a PR exercise in getting the country ready to let the strongest survive in the most palatably PC way possible. With the added effect of saying they did a fantastic job.

    People need to think long term. **** will inevitably hit the fan long term when things have to open, and they will have to open, but we will need to get on with it. Thats the message.

    Right you'd best tell all the incredibly smart, educated and talented people working on a vaccine that. Im sure they'll appreciate your valued input.

    Increasingly starting to believe that this flattening the curve period was purely to buy enough time to dramatically expand the capabilities of the health service.. in preperation for subsequent waves.

    I don't see the point in testing and tracking, just assume every single person in the country has it and distance yourself from them, virus then dies off and game over, return to normal life.

    Some of them think 18 months to wait for a vaccine is an actual option and to keep people living in their caves until then.

    Most people in care homes raised their kids before creches and childminders were even a thing

    They have made remarkable progress against AIDS when it looked like it was untreatable

    Sars sorted itself out so no vaccine was needed in the end, so none ended up being created

    A vaccine may well come, but I’ve plenty of comment from incredibly smart, educated and talented people in recent weeks saying that its development is by no means guaranteed. So a lockdown exit strategy based on the eventual development of a vaccine is not a strategy that makes any sense.
