So was this all to distract from the fact we clearly don't have enough capacity hence the level 5 recommendation?

Leo the Leak was health minister, Taoiseach and now Tánaiste in successive governments. Whoever did it, it was pretty low.

Fair enough. I was only looking at uk news

You've lost this one, you were asked what other countries and you brought up Spain, Germany and the uk.

The majority of news sites across these three all have covid headlines.

When someone posted three examples from the three countries all you could say was 'the sun'?

How come you didn't mention the other two?

You weren’t just wrong, you made sh1t up and spouted it out. Like lots of the people you seem to have faith in.

Look at the BBC news site. Have a look there. The main TV station in the UK.

His point was not completely off though, Irish media is absolutely saturated with COVID news, it;s like no other news exists in the world since March, other countries it just features heavily for the most part

And I can't say for sure but I really doubt the 24/7 discussion of minute changes in ICU/hospitalisations and daily discussion and annoucement of new cases is as common abroad, seems like a uniquely obsessive thing for the public here. Dunno though, anyone from other countries shed some light, do people in Norway Denmark and other similarly sized countries discuss daily cases like as is done here?

I'll give you that it does take a bit of drilling down to get UK covid news on the BBC and even then it's hard to find their reporting on daily national case numbers.

https://www.bbc.com/news

The main page references Germany but not the UK.

Apart from the US election?
Even before Trumps hospitalisation.
RTE gave more airtime to replacing a supreme court judge in the US than here.

Personalisation is part of the problem on this one. We all have an alternate reality.

For instance my homepage of bbc is saturated with Ainsley Harriott stories.
I've no idea why.

Look at the BBC news for UK.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk

Top stories... covid related.
It is by far the dominant topic.

Julian does it well · 08-10-2020 09:30PM

So there we have it NPHET admits it was wrong and that the government was right that Level 3 was the right thing for the country. Egg all over the scientific faces, and kudos to the politicos. Let's hear Tony explain his way out of this.

That's the drill down to UK. The main page hasn't got it. Even the UK section doesn't run with daily numbers.

tobefrank321 · 08-10-2020 09:32PM

Looks like Level 3 is working well in Dublin and numbers are stabilising a little.

No need to crush the curve, just to live with it.

I’m not scared either. In fact I barely care less. No matter how many constructed “scare” stories I hear they’re like water off a ducks back to me. Heard it all before on loop since March.
As said dozens of times here- you want to self isolate- off you go. That’s afree choice- absolutely no one is stopping you. Are they?
Now please don’t expect me to indulge in the same hysteria just because you chose to do so. I’m not interested

You might as well say, slow down while driving if you want, I'll drive how I like.

You can chose to impose risk on yourself, if you want, but not on other people.

He doesn’t have a point. He has an opinion or belief based on sweet fcuk all. So rather than investigate his “belief”, he makes sh1t up and states it as fact. It’s now up to someone else to demonstrate that he’s a spoofer.

We all knew in the health service .

Where are all the posters who jumped on the bandwagon on Monday night with Leo slagging off NPHET for leaking information on Sunday, and cheering Leo on in his defamation of a public servant who was just doing his job ?

Maybe if this government were doing their jobs we wouldn't have this constant parade of ministers making " statements " in the Dail .

And now the HSE chief, Paul Reid , who supposedly told Leo on Monday "no problem here in the health service" , has finally come out and admitted that surge capacity = reduced other health service capacity.

Again the posters who keep saying there is planned surge capacity are conspicuous by their absence here.

I have said all along that this extra capacity will depend on staff from other areas of the health service being used , and this will mean that general or elective services will be affected .

And what about the Taoiseach who has still questions to answer about that leak ?

Apologies should be made by Leo, publicly , and whoever leaked or allowed that leak , and sneakily then kept stum when the wrong people were blamed .

Now what is a valid point is thats its been relentless in Ireland, there has been no break even when it wasnt necessary for NPHET to give public bulletins last Summer when cases were so low

https://amp.rte.ie/amp/1153499/

Thats a headline on a day when 14 cases were reported last July.

Talking about an RO number when cases numbers were so low, and the language used was completely unacceptable.
