    How do you know? The origins of infections is never made public.

    I know for a fact that a current outbreak in the country is linked to a family who have returned from Greece.
    That's what's known as anecdotal! It shows up in the daily case data. Both Nolan and Glynn have mentioned that such cases have been lower in recent weeks.

    You can just picture the common room of every nursing home in the country now.

    All the inmates sitting around in a circle being told to restrict their movements.
    Would you like it if somebody referred to your elderly relative as an "inmate"?

    This too shall pass.

    "I'd like to ask two questions to the Taoiseach, three more to Dr Glynn and I will waffle on long enough so that you can safely ignore the one genuinely inciteful point I had and ramble on about everyone needs to stay alert and other meaningless burblage"


    Journos need to ask shorter questions.
    It's the format that forces it. They used to do it in the Leo days as well.

    Look the facts are our health system cant cope with what's coming from late Oct till mid summer 2021.

    We are screwed as a nation. We will be in lockdown till a vaccine comes along. This isnt going away.

    It's the second half of 2021 before any chance of things returning to normal.

    the HSE gave up months ago. The waste and inefficiencies that have been ongoing for decades is catching up. "Management" isn't up to it. And before anyone kicks off im not talking about doctors and nurses.

    My “elderly relative” Was in a nursing home for the last few years of his life and referred to himself as an inmate.

    If it was good enough for him, it’s good enough for me petal.

    Yet another cluster ****. No direction, not tackling the issues and penalising people who aren't causing the spike.

    Jokeshop tactics.
