Govt aren't to blame in either side I believe, the human frailty of socialising is the driver. We all know the risks at this stage and it's just a shame we don't realise the damage this is doing. Happy new year all stay safe and hopefully things will get better shortly.

It was a government decision to keep airports open and not properly quarantine arrivals. This is on them. Maybe they need to up their diplomacy skills if they couldn't convince Westminster to help them tackle the virus in a coordinated fashion.

The Health Service Executive now has the capacity to process 140,000 Covid-19 tests a week, up from 120,000, according to Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly.

What was Donnelly spoofing about in November? You just know they are going to make an utter shambles out of the vaccine rollout too. Track record of chaos. When was the last time we had a credible minister for Health???

I'd be interested to see a peer reviewed paper on that one. Or perhaps it's because NZ like all the outperforming eastern countries operate a supervised quarantine regime on entry to the country. No, couldn't be that. Must. Not. Compare.

They are saying it had a detrimental impact on the fight against covid because the elite politicians blatantly showed that we weren't all in this together. They recalled the sense of deep anger at the time, especially from those who had to bury loved ones under severe funeral restrictions.
