    I did feel somewhat more confident when Simon and Leo spoke about it than Stephen and Micheal now, Stephen Donnelly is way out of his league, Micheal was too eager to be Taoiseach he just jumped in unprepared

    are you serious?? he said the houses in Ballymun would be done for about 11--130K.at the end they cost 230K and it never went to tender if I recall.
    He's a teflon suited spoofer in the waiting.

    Simon was genuine. He might not have been great in the role but he cared about it and he cared about the public. Stephen is arrogant and cares about nobody only himself

    You are reading a hell of a lot into how these people come across on media interviews. Arrogant people are perfectly capable of coming across as genuine, and vice versa.

    You don't know either of these people, and have no idea what motivates them.

    Neither do you.

    We can only judge on what we see.

    Neither do I, you are right. I try to judge people by what they do, rather than how they come across.

    I see Ciara Kelly put it up to Sam Mconkey today when he was waffling on about long covid.

    Michael McDowell on Niall Boylan now talking sense.

    And that's what posters here are doing based on what he did during the pandemic.

    shouldn't we have had them all along?? with airport restrictions?
    they should be vaccination not test centers. That's all window dressing now like most things. This is so they can point and say "look, another surge...lockdown til July"

    It's nothing but a dragnet for mild symptoms which will be used to boost figure which will in turn be spun as high amplitude spikes on the graphs, which will in turn constitute further restrictions,

    Ciara Kelly has been consistently wrong on almost every aspect of this.

    Well Sam said we will have restrictions for years because of long covid.

    Ciara said lockdown was about saving lives not stopping long covid.

    Do you disagree with her?

    whether right or wrong to date, she is right on this. Long covid itself is no reason to maintain restrictions

    Even if we use that metric, Donnelly still comes up shorter than Peter Dinklage.

    I didn't say otherwise. This stuff about one guy being arrogant and the other being genuine is nonsense though.

    The geohive one. It says last updated today and 8am on the graph for hospital cases.

    Journal reported it too

    The journal is wrong - it says updated to 24th alright, but there is no data point in the chart or in the background data for the 24th. 357 is from yesterday morning. They didn't update this until well in the afternoon yesterday, looks like the same today.

    Well a politician should at least be appearing to possess values which the public admire or agree with. That's all he was doing. You're right, nobody knows if he was truly genuine or not but that really doesn't matter in the context of getting the public's respect or buy-in.

    GP referral data is out. Not much of a drop from Monday. I'm never sure which data point to look at but "Clinically likely Covid" is up about 50% from same day last week. As others have mentioned, this data is based on a survey, and doesn't tell the whole story. But it is something of a guide. Need to see these numbers stabilise and fall again.

    Not the beach. The nearest point of the high tide, I can actually get to the top of the beach, just not the water.

    Just very unlucky.

    You would wonder though, with talk of another wave in Europe, evidence of increased mobility, schools back, Paddy, Cheltenham etc., are GP's erring on the side of caution and sending a few more people for a test, time will tell I suppose.

    As I mentioned yesterday, anecdotally there are now non covid colds running through childcare / school settings, certainly in Cork, so this could be skewing this data. As I understand it last month covid was the most likely reason for any covid symptoms but not now.

    Somebody said in a tweet that GPs they've seen on twitter are speculating that there'll be 1000+ cases some say this week but I can't find any evidence of it, anyone have any info?
