Paddy Mallon is a good communicator.

He spells it out, doesn't make sound like he's being alarmist but equally doesn't underplay it. Luke O' Néill is a big fuzzy pain in the arse and Sam McConkey is a nice man but can't be concise.

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?

This isn't the advice.

Very little movement in hospitals today outside of cases being confirmed there.

Is this the advice now for all setting where there is a suspected case?

All this panic just adds to the stigma particularly as they were observing social distancing.

SF have been calling for mandatory testing at airports and quarantine as well as increased testing in general since July.

That's very easy to call for, but we don't have the resources to test everywhere. So maybe they can take out their crystal ball and tell us which areas we should focus on.

We're not even close to the so called 100k a week, so there's space.

Is there not a 15min Covid test that can be done via a finger prick blood sample??

Its no being used for generally test (To date at least), but maybe they have it available for "emergency" cases??

Blood test would be an antibody test for determining if you have had disease in the last few months, not used for clinical diagnosis.

I reckon a member of the Dáil will have their test fast tracked. Why would it take long if a swab is brought straight to lab for a PCR, they can get the result in real time.

If you use a POC analyser like Abbott NOW you can do a test in 15 mins, it’s portable and easily carried ...about the size of desktop printer.

Isn't plan to go on ECDC traffic colour system of green, orange and red based on country's case incidence per 100,000? With orange and red passengers either having to be tested or quarantined, iirc

FF are making bad decisions, but I think SF are two faced hypocritical fckers.

Also his claim that SF were leading the calls for testing and tracing to ramped up to hunt the virus down is total baloney.

Having a "cough" , for Covid, means having a persistant cough.

Coughing a few times during interviews, for a public speaker, does not mean he has a "cough" per say...

There are many reasons why you might cough in isolated instances....

Dry throat, especially as a speaker it's a known fact, thats why water is always on hand, even for the likes of course trainers, first think is to have your water.

Drink, food irritation, even from water above...
Ashmatic cough
Alergic reaction

Also, when does an odd cough become a real cough, its not very clear...

For me this is nothing like golfgate, i.e premeditation golf event, with dinner and speaches, prizes, with attendees from the 4 corners of Ireland, abroad, and Big Phils amazing adventure....

When he felt unwell, he asked for advice and sought help...at what precise time he felt unwell, to the minute or even the hour would be difficult for anyone to say, maybe even him..

Even dispite all of the above, if the test did come back positive, it would not look good, but that would probably be an overreaction, even on my part I would imagine.... Due the the whole cluster f- of the day and the past events

People need to start voting for people on their abilities etc, the amount of tds that are only elected because of party or sex is shocking, what happened to voting for the best candidate, some of the tds elected the Last couple of elections are shocking, have people any shame voting for people who are not obviously not capable of the job.

Except three hours later he was still coughing and either asked or was told by the CMO to get tested.

7 discharges and 12 admissions on Covid hub. 2 ICU admissions in last 24 hours. Is that not more than seen in recent days/weeks? I don’t look at it every day but more than I have seen in while.

The clip I heard on Morning Ireland anyway, he certainly wasn’t coughing - clearing his throat I’d have called it. Not unusual for someone to have to do that early in the morning.

I didn’t see the briefing today, but if he was coughing, it seems he sought advice straight afterwards. It’s quite possible if it was “a cough”, it only came on him then, and as soon it was over he consulted with the CMO.

The hysteria around this, and calling for him to resign, is ridiculous.

The hub numbers for discharges/admissions are updated in the morning. The daily operations report is as at 8 pm this evening so is more up to date.
