    Really doesnt sit well with me how they’re forcing this issue on the public when there’s serious problems in our hospitals

    Not looking at themselves and what they could do?

    Sounds familiar with Tony...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,069 ✭✭✭boggerman1


    Tony is some bull****ter at this stage.i’d day he would love to go around and weld shut every door in the country for as long as he can get away with.

    Obviously the people drinking on the streets and going to funerals are all going into hospitals on the way home to infect the patients and staff. Its the only plausible reason surely.

    Nolan is blasting the 100 cases target now. Seems they're shifting to "as low as we can" now

    Workplace outbreaks driving up the numbers.
    People must work from home.

    Can healthcare workers work from home?

    Last week it was funerals, this week its workplaces.

    God forbid they'd say the work places are in the health system

    Tony Holohan: "We need to redouble our efforts"

    Where have I heard that one before. Push a button, generate a quote.

    The next 2 weeks are crucial

    Christ, is it beyond whoever is running these broadcasts to do a picture in picture or just have a vision mixer?

    Social contacts this social contacts that.

    Schools Schools Schools //Workplaces

    From the press conference you’d swear there is none of the above open

    These people are jokers skirting around the real transmission locations and blaming the general public for all the cases.

    There is zero chance of 100 cases or lower by December 1st while schools remain open.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,468 ✭✭✭pauldry


    173 cases in Dublin, 44 in Cork, 26 in Donegal, 22 in Louth, 21 in Kildare and remaining 143 cases are spread across the remaining 20 counties

    Apart from Dublin everywhere else the trend is our friend but RTE and Tony will focus on high TOTAL number.

    I still can't believe that none of the journalists will ask a question about hospital outbreaks and hospital acquired infections.

    It's not a secret, they are well publicised.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,834 ✭✭✭fred funk }{


    Just imagine how interesting these press conferences would be if the likes of Vincent Browne was asking the questions.

    On a related topic the teachers have demanded priority for vaccines. Not sure if they mean they should be first in line or not, with nurses, carers in nursing homes being behind teachers in the queue.

    But a critical question is - if teachers are given some sort of priority (which is perfectly reasonable), what would happen a teacher who refuses to get the vaccine?

    Should they be banned from schools - without pay until they get the vaccine?

    It is genuinely remarkable how thick the media in this country are. I guarantee none of them even know the swab data is available.

    "We know that Level 3 didn't work in controlling the virus". NPHET have planted a journalist in the audience.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,231 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    A journalist saying that it is known that level 3 didn't work.

    Where did he get that from?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,134 ✭✭✭Jinglejangle69


    They need to accept the numbers now are best were gonna get.

    The first lockdown will never be repeated again.

    NHPET need to learn to live with the numbers going up or down and stop with all this gibberish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,231 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    I think NPHET must be giving the journalists the questions they want.

    But that wouldn’t explain the upsurge after 4 weeks at level 5.

    The street drinking has been going on since level 5 started, as have funerals.

    Privileged rich sheltered lives.

    Haven't a clue.

    Journalists present are a bunch of complacent morons who won't ask the pressing questions. In particular what proportion of cases in last 7 days were identified in healthcare settings.

    Journalists truly are an evil bunch. Lockdowns are good for business in their industry. Horrible people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,231 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    Cases will come down over the next 4 or 5 days and in the next presser NPHET will be claiming that people listened to them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,058 ✭✭✭✭fits


    I think the criticism of NPHET here is misguided. We are in one of best positions in all of Europe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,757 ✭✭✭✭ACitizenErased

    The department of health press officer has told the media not to ask certain questions before. That’s what their job is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,077 ✭✭✭KrustyUCC


    There is definitely no backlog on swabs

    Over the last month cases exceed swabs by 783

    What were Dublins case numbers going into level 3 and what were they when we decided to go to level 5? Dublin were in level 3 for a good 5 weeks and it clearly didn't work

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,468 ✭✭✭pauldry


    Numbers are decreasing not increasing. These figures are added to each day or NPHET will have no fat wages. It's time to let the politicians do what is best for the economy and for Christmas and stop this nonsense.

    Either this or give a complete breakdown of the date all those numbers come from. Leave some in storage in case theres a low number. Real number today 300. Real number tomorrow probably similar. Not the 500 Tony will invent.

    Numbers start dropping hugely after 1 day of level 5.

    They were starting to work.
