    Sunday night, everyone's kicking back with some U2 and a bit of heroin before the long week ahead!

    What about the residents that Holohan sent back to the homes Covid Positive (without test) from Hospital in order to clear beds for the younger population?


    The HSE did this, but not necessarily Holohan.

    He recommended it as part of NPHET, certainly did nothing to stop it.

    Holohan was the CMO he also advised the Nursing homes not to restrict visitors.

    And it's been proven visitors didn't spread covid into nursing homes.
    No matter how many times you suggest it, it's just untrue.
    NPHET did actually advise nursing homes to restrict visitors.
    weeks before they had cases in nursing homes.

    Despite what people think NPHET have zero power/control, they advise, they cant actually take actions.

    I'm not defending NPHET, but I hate when people think NPHET are calling the shots and actually have the power to make the changes.

    Tbf as CMO and NPHET representative, Tony said it was all good in the hood as regards visiting nursing homes and there was a case in one later that week and then the whole situation snowballed. So I would say that his decision and inaction is the most visible cause of the spread in nursing homes.

    The nursing homes brought in the restrictions first and he said not necessary.

    On March 4, Nursing Homes Ireland announced a blanket ban on visitors to narrow the possibilities of infection. Six days later, the chief medical officer Tony Holohan said such a ban was “unnecessary” at that point.

    I will never forget him trying to stop the cervical smear review and wrote a quite nasty letter to one of the women who is dying.

    Agreed, although I hate when some people in the government point to them as a way of deflecting blame. Very poor leadership.

    That's not very many contacts for flights - only 6 per infected person

    Worth reading the article not the headline:
    But though the agency says some of those travelers subsequently fell ill, in the face of incomplete contact tracing information and a virus that incubates over several days, it has not been able to confirm a case of transmission on a plane.
