Was he tested for the flu, or the common cold? Or another viral infection? He may not have Covid which is great but if he has any other virus he should not be in work. Sure it could be Covid-20.

He started feeling symptoms this afternoon.

Some people on here will end up spraining their wrist they're shaking their fist that often.

I heard it.

It was a snippet from an earlier interview he did.

Coughed a few times in the snippet, could hear seagulls in the background. Sounded like a very early morning interview.

Think it was RTE 1. Can't be 100%.

But I am 100% he was coughing.

Okay, I do think Leo is a slippery fcker and he's more soundbite than substance - but he speaks with far more clarity than MM.

A complete over reaction from the government about Donnelly, heightening a stigma with the virus.

Yes, he was coughing at the briefing and sought advice as soon as possible afterwards. He could hardly run from the stage. Why do you say he was coughing this morning?

Could have been worse

Exactly. The cabinet meeting was on at the time he was supposedly on the radio.

He was in full spirits on RTÉ this morning. He did cough at the start of the press conference but that could have been a dry mouth.

Years of practive/media training while being Taoiseach over Martin not being in government in years maybe?

Do you know all the details?

Last week I had a head cold with no cough so went to work. I developed a cough during Thursday so went home and contacted my GP. I did nothing wrong, maybe something similar with SD.

The amount of moaning on here is shocking.

There is yellow Covid posters everywhere and a cough is one of the symptoms so self isolate and contact your GP etc., it is being drilled into our heads by everyone including the Minister for Health who decides fcek it I'm ok just a cough I will head to work, it was the acting CMO Dr. Glynn who told him take a test which lead to all his close contacts (Dail) then isolating while he awaited his results on a day when our government and NPHET should be reassuring the people they have a long term viable coherent plan in place

No way.

I heard him coughing this morning.

I'd swear on my kids life now if asked.

Make no mistake.

How is it an overreaction, if he was positive then there was every chance he passed it on. This is our government, you can't be too cautious at a time like this.

You can listen back on the RTÉ app.

I listened back. You are right he coughed.

Closing down the Dail was an over reaction.

He's far more relaxed as No.2

I heard a bit from the interview at 920 and they said it was from earlier.

Did you hear it?

bennyineire · 15-09-2020 08:55PM

Has there been an update on the green list or at least when it'll be updated ?

Anecdotally I've heard of lots of people sick at moment. It's just a false flag. Hopefully the first and last time the entire dail is suspended over a suspect case.

Should people living outside Dublin avoid travel to Dublin for say shopping?

It was necessary at the time given the fact that people may have been passing it on to others. If he was positive, closing the Dáil would have prevented further spread and even serious illness among our government members. How would that have looked internationally and how would that have sat with the public?

If our Dáil doesn't follow the rules set out to the public, why should the public?

Yes. Was on Morning Ireland. I just listened and he coughed.

Is ignoring a symptom and attending a Cabinet meeting ok?

Totally agree.

Well then they need to stop telling us to keep our kids at home and ourselves if we get a cough.

Thanks for that.

Not according to Stephen Donnelly.

Sure we all know it was an overreaction but what do you expect from people when he has been so overreactive himself trying to pass the huge fines for masks and extra people in the house. Its only natural.

Happydays2020 · 15-09-2020 09:00PM

I rang an establishment outside Dublin today and asked do I need a test as I am travelling from Dublin. They said they need to check and will get back to me.

Dr. Malcolm Kendrick makes the case for quickly building herd immunity by encouraging the young and healthy to get infected, while sheltering the vulnerable.

So, I would ask people to turn their thinking around on COVID19. We have it within our power, right now, to get rid of COVID19 by the end of the year. Will this get rid of it forever – who knows – it may return in the winter. If not this winter, next winter?

If we open up society there will be a cost, there will be deaths, that is inarguable. However, I believe that we will save far more lives by letting this disease spread in the younger, healthy population. We will save both children and adults, and we can return to normal life.

Therefore, the proposal is simple. Work out who is most at risk, work out how to keep them shielded, then encourage everyone else to get out there and live their lives as before. [General Practitioners have already been asked to create lists of their patients who are most vulnerable, so most of this work has been done]. Once we have the infection rates sufficiently high to block viral spread, the entire population, including the elderly and vulnerable, can be released to live their lives as before.

The alternative is to wait, in hope, for a vaccine. One that is almost certainly not going to get here before winter arrives in the Northern Hemisphere. By which time further irreparable harm will have been done, and thousands more lives will have been lost, unnecessarily.

I think guideline is you shouldn't go. Can't see how you could get a test without symptoms.

Await the under deputy for NPHET. I hope it's a feisty woman at last but doubt it. Just for a change
