This is like pulling teeth....why did they have Leo there?

You'll have to ask them.

I would like to ask them why they didn't have Michael Martin, MLMD, Eamon Ryan and Simon Harris there. Why no Naomi Long or Steve Aitken?
Why would there be a comparison with somebody who adopted a different regime than they did, in a DIFFERENT jurisdiction?

Oh I'm gonna have to try harder? With a back log of 51k for testing it sounds like it's him. Did he mention the number of people waiting for a test at all of is he still talking about the Easter bunny?

From reality. They seem to shy away from anything resembling reality now.

Even the head of the nursing homes in Ireland couldn't get hold of him.

"We view it as a failure by the minister that we have to keep endlessly pursuing him as this crisis escalates hour-by-hour, day-by-day,” said Nursing Home Ireland chief executive, Tadhg Daly.

“We have sent at least five letters and emails over the last four weeks requesting engagement directly with Mr Harris but what we got is the standard civil service reply - that the matter was receiving attention"

"It is astonishing we are now well into a health crisis of a magnitude never presented before and the Minister for Health and his government have not engaged with a sector providing care to thousands of the most vulnerable people.”

They adopted a completely different approach...what is the point being made in this 'comparison'?

They could have compared with South Korea and gotten the same result.

As I said earlier...'lordy', if you are getting your rocks off on this'. Pathetic again AATM.
Leo and FG will get a bounce out of this, I don't know anyone who thinks different. Will it change FG...I doubt it very much.

Even some in Sinn Fein were wondering where these figures came from. Where did you manage to verify them? Thanks

That Leo is considered in the north to be doing a better job than Mo'N ?

Leo isn't responsible for the North.

Which is quite something then if the North as a whole think he's doing a better job by a wide margin

That's Martin's numbers. What are the numbers Fine Gael gave? What did Harris say today?

Dont know what numbers Harris or FG gave.

You could only come back from an answer about Leo with a slag. I think anyone with sense knows what happened there anyhow.

It's probably not far wrong.
40,000 two weeks ago, waited for equipment, still a few thousand below target of 15,000 per day and numbers growing.
So is probably somewhere around there.
At this stage does testing really make any difference?

It is just for statistics, which aren't going to be accurate anyway.

Micheal Martin tweeted the 51k figure, if it's not far wrong why would he have deleted it?

The WHO still recommend testing and far as I know, presume there's a reason for it.

I have no idea, you could try and phone or tweet him and ask him.
It may be incorrect. Maybe he misheard other figures. Maybe he pulled the figure out of the sky.
I just said that I think it's probably not far wrong.

There is no doubt a reason for it. I would not think that they would have people going to testing centres and putting so many at risk.
I'm selfish. Thinking of myself.
You either have it or don't. If you are self isolating, then you can do the test to see if you had it after this has calmed down a bit.
I don't see any point in going to get tested, wait over three weeks (at which case it would have been and gone) and still not receive results.
If it is purely to figure out how many are infected at a given time you could ring your doctor and tell them.

I am guessing that they would also like to find out the strain.

Phone Micheal Martin? Right.

I would assume he deleted it because it's unsubstantiated, but it was brought in here as it made a nice soundbite.

Onto the SF thread for the 1st time all day and see the SF loyal comrades now defending FF and sticking up for Michael Martin after his **** up today!!!

All in the name of bashing FG at all costs.

Absolutely hilarious.

You lads are a sight to behold, thanks:)

Your comprehension limits are showing again. I've asked for evidence his numbers are wrong. That doesn't equal support. Where are the official government numbers? Why do the government not report these numbers?

SF and FF are two cheeks of the same arse in slot of ways. The faithful would never admit it though. Hilarious to watching them squirming.

I thought it was FF/FG that were joining forces? Merging, though the faithful would never admit it.

It's those two that have the identity crisis I'm afraid.

Good riddance to SF! How could so many young people be so gullible to fall for there propaganda.

Because the most media and comms obsessed government we've ever had never engage in such things. Not never, no siree bob.

Look, young people en-masse, quite correctly, came to the conclusion that FG were going to do nothing on housing. In fact, they tried to 'communicate' their way out of the problem and tried to frame the chronic rental increases and house price inflation as being as natural as the flowering of the daisys in springtime.

They got crushed for their troubles. There is no mystery here. Young people (and not so young) took a punt that SF and others might be able make a better fist of housing, health and quality of life. They knew FG weren't going to seriously tackle them.

This may surprise you, but a hell of a lot of people still think that FG are exactly the wrong people to lead the country despite all the pom pom cheerleading for Leo et al

Ok...the FG mantra today seems to be...just give up. Put roadblocks in the way evry step of the way. THERE IS NO BETTER WAY, just the FG way. Don't question, don't seek solutions and don't criticise.

Fair enough, we get it.

What in dear lord are you blathering about now Francie?

You think FG make this stuff up on the fly?
What about all these other governments that had issues? Is that also the 'FG way'?
Or are you spouting **** for the sake of it. Do you get paid per post?

Anyway.

But China's efforts to help haven't gone smoothly, as several countries have reported faults with Chinese-made supplies.

This began with Spain's recall of about 58,000 inaccurate rapid COVID-19 test kits late last week, and Turkey also casting aside a number of sample test kits that were faulty.

Breaking down the latest news and research to understand how the world is living through an epidemic, this is the ABC's Coronacast podcast.
This was then followed last Saturday by a Dutch recall of some 600,000 face masks that didn't provide an airtight seal.

Australia also found fault with Chinese products, with Border Force officials telling the ABC on Wednesday that it seized around 800,000 personal protective equipment (PPE) products worth $1.2 million in recent weeks.

I hear it may rain tomorrow. Quick! Blame FG! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
