Negative test result for Stephen Donnelly, just revealed on RTE News.

Hurrache · 15-09-2020 08:12PM

Subs can put their trackies back on.

SD negative.

Good to hear but it just goes to show how quickly some get tested

Roots 2020 · 15-09-2020 08:13PM

Great SD negative. For him personally and also it would create chaos at government and a bit of public panic.

Atlantic Dawn · 15-09-2020 08:14PM

What a day of fun, who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Strange they haven't appointed a new deputy CMO, almost as if Tony will be back

Why wouldn't he be back

A minister getting an expedited test? shock

So SD is negative.

Do we think he should be allowed to keep his job now?:rolleyes:

The OTT reactions on here earlier, calling for him to resign and how the gov was a disgrace just shows how stupid reactions on social media are.

Don't think people were asking for a resignation on the basis he felt unwell. All I saw were on the proviso that he turned up at the start of the day with symptoms.

Widdensushi · 15-09-2020 08:15PM

They have sped up the testing process, fair play

lukas8888 · 15-09-2020 08:15PM

Any sign of humble pie from any of the Boards epidemiologists.

If only all but especially positive tests could come back that quickly..!

Well he is the Minister of Health during a pandemic after all so Prioritising his test is quite reasonable, no?

Minister for health, these days, I'd expect nothing else.

stephenjmcd · 15-09-2020 08:16PM

If only all testing was that quick

All jokes aside(and I’m sure ACE would be quite a formidable CMO),if Ronan is gone to ground,who’s going to step up to the plate for the press conferences etc.??

Can we take it he’s back in the game now the Health Minister is in the clear??

Gods Gift · 15-09-2020 08:18PM

So a negative test is a positive result.

He could have been a close contact of the acting CMO, there not all out of the woods yet.

No he didn't . He temporarily stepped back

Of course. More an issue that average test takes days. Maybe it will influence him to hire more lab scientists and contact tracers.

Roots 2020 · 15-09-2020 08:19PM

The whole 5 level plan is just too much detail. Remembering what each level allows. Wait until Dublin is level 4, Kildare level 3 and Laois 2!! Absolute confusion.

If they stuck to.
Wear a mask
Wash your hands
Social distance
Limit contacts

It would be as effective and much simpler.

TonyMaloney · 15-09-2020 08:20PM

Good news about Donnelly.

I suppose.

Did not all Trumps medical tests come back positive?

Of course Trump wrote his own medical reports, and thought positive was good.

Stephen Donnelly's test negative.

Glad he is negative. The PR company probably should have advised he wait until tomorrow to announce that

Said it before, and will again, worst Taoiseach ever.

He’s pretty fûcking average that’s very apparent and appreciated.

That’s said, taking over he was seriously left tucked in behind the 8 ball such was the catastrophic mess Leo and co made of the initial response. Leo I’d have thrown in jail personally, he’s an evil corporate wánkbag... borderline treacherous his behavior towards the people of and in this country.

When covid actually hit, I’d have preferred MM at the controls, at least he wouldn’t have had the same inclination to have his hand down the pants of corporate Ireland and tried to put something in place that was going to ensure the health and wellbeing of PEOPLE as opposed to the balance sheets of businesses.

Why?

He still went against the guidance he issues.

Funsterdelux · 15-09-2020 08:22PM

Will they update the covid app to include the 5 point plan system?

Why havent they used a blanket text service like other countries do, for other alerts weather eyc?
