    Fraudulent reporting of numbers will not help, it will lead to 'the boy who cried wolf' situation. The fact that the most of the number of cases they reported for today were not from today is Fraudulent, transparency is what people want.

    They are never for "today".They are up to midnight the previous night, so the numbers we get tomorrow evening will be the cases up to midnight tonight.That's the way it has been from the start, I think it is very transparent.

    A number of important facts about death have emerged from this crisis:-
    1. Everybody will die eventually from something.
    2. The older you are, the more likely you are to die.
    3. Covid will cause some deaths.
    4. You are many many times more likely to die from something other than Covid no matter how old you are.
    5. If you are under 70 you are extremely unlikely to die from Covid.

    These facts are obvious to most rational people but some are behaving as if we are all going to die imminently from this ‘deadly’ disease. It just one of the many things that might possibly make us sick or cause our death eventually but we will all most likely die from something else.

    You know death is not the only outcome from Covid-19, right? A rational person will realise this.

    Will this do? Although the 21 is not for the month of August.

    A quick Google will show you that the agencies who deal with this have appealed to the minister for health for help publicly, stating 21 in August, please don't keep bringing it up,it's there if you look

    Why is he talking that we can clear this up in this country? We can't for years, anyone thinking otherwise should be visiting the people in white coats.

    Id rather it killed me now than having to spend weeks/months/years of my life in the future on waiting lists or just waiting for hospital appointments etc.

    Or maybe just not catch the virus, save my family and I a good deal of stress

    This one is for all the conspiracy hoaxers.
    Seriously, most govs couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery, but you prefer to believe this is a global conspiracy? Can you imagine the organisational genius you'd need? The cooperation of govs and scientists world wide? Oh, and they'd have to keep.it secret...

    So closing everything like we did earlier in the year without doing the same as New Zealand was better? New Zealand had some normal for a while. And look at us, cases rising, a country that doesn't have clue what they're doing.

    Do you know the difference between Ireland and New Zealand? I cannot believe this still has to be explained to people.

    He says there are ten times the cases now as in June has he looked at how many tests are being done and how many are being found with no symptoms? Anyway the only paper that is wasting ink on him anymore is the sun, says it all.

    Oh it doesn't kill you. Let's forget the long term effects or those people suffering for months.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about the debilitating long term illnesses, loss of limbs and heart and lung conditions in asymptomatic cases.
    Sorry about that.

    Long term affects from a 'new' virus. What percentage of people who contracted the virus are still suffering ?

    What we're experiencing is a casedemic.
