I wish someone would ask why the HSE treats Covid close contacts in the school separate to those everywhere else.

Really? I thought it was disgusting that you never referenced the other 70 + people that died today, young & old.

This is the Covid19 thread. Why would I comment on other deaths??

Tony saying 1/6 of over 65s cases might need hospitalisation, and 20% of those ICU.

(I think that's what he said, but the sound is bad so I'm open to correction)

He trained as a physio before going on to qualify as a doctor

So saying he's a doctor is a bit of a stretch then?

Vitriolic bile dressed as opinion. Grow up.

97% of people who died had a chronic underlying respiratory condition. A virus so "deadly" you have to have a test to make sure you even have it. Good luck

Backlogged cases don't sit well with me. It's quite a new phenomenon.

Not really. I started tracking the numbers in July and there have been regular backlogs. There was the famous Tuesday backlog for a start.

His original degree yes.

Lots of doctors start off in other disciplines

Glynn graduated from University College Dublin, where he obtained a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy, in 2002. He completed a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery at the University of Aberdeen in 2007, a PhD in Surgical Oncology from NUI Galway in 2013 and a first-class honours Masters in Public Health (MPH) from University College Dublin in 2015.[2]

Between 2008 and 2010, Glynn was Research Registrar at the National Breast Cancer Research Institute (NBCRI) in University College Hospital Galway.[2] Between 2010 and 2014, he was Senior House Officer and Specialist Registrar at the Health Service Executive (Otolaryngology).[2] Between 2014 and 2018, he was Specialist Registrar and Specialist in Public Health Medicine at the HSE.[2]

Glynn holds a diploma in personal leadership and executive coaching.[2] He has been a member of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland since 2012, a Fellow of the International Society for Quality in Healthcare (ISQUA) since 2013 and a Member of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, Faculty of Public Health Medicine of Ireland, since 2017.[2]

Glynn was appointed Deputy Chief Medical Officer in October 2018.[2] He became a regular presence at the daily COVID-19 press conferences, along with the CMO, Dr Tony Holohan and gave media appearances following the COVID-19 pandemic's emergence and its subsequent arrival in Ireland.[3][4] On 2 July 2020, Holohan made an announcement that he would be taking a hiatus from his position as Chief Medical Officer to care for his family as his wife entered palliative care with multiple myeloma; Glynn was subsequently appointed Acting Chief Medical Officer until 5 October 2020.

Level 5 needs to be maintained to February given these numbers

Arghus · 20-10-2020 05:38PM

People have been banging on for ages that we need dates and targets to reach, NPHET provides a date and a very clear target to reach and people complain about that.

Probably over the 200k mark so at this stage.

When I was keeping track of swabs there was rarely a backlog. Maybe over 1 day yes, not multiple days.

Sweet suffering.....

Go on, prove that he is doing these every day. You can't.

I must have been dreaming that people have been wondering about backlogs on a near daily basis here for months and months.

Yep. Remember in May when all they wanted was a plan. Then once they got a plan it was too slow.

Some people will always find reason to complain.

Seems to be on other days now too, not just on Tuesdays like before.

I must have been having the same dream as you!

If I wanted I’m sure I could pull out multiple posts showing discussions about backlogs going back months.

Let's hope we can get things under control during the six weeks

I think the dates and targets and unrealistic and unachievable. It’s like saying I’m gonna lose 4 stone in 6 weeks, rather than break it down into smaller milestones which may be more achievable. They’re losing the pubic even more every time they have their big press conferences.
