    My tv is grand. He’s lucky if he’s sitting 1m away from her.

    If that's what you see, fair enough. There's quite a torrent of information coming out at this, pretty useful stuff too IMO.

    A press briefing room.

    Why not have it in the same place they always have it? It’s a PR move. You’ll also notice that there’s no work going on while the press conference is going on.

    Why is the presser in a warehouse? More spin and bluster. “Look at all the supplies we have”. Ffs.

    Thanks for the update. You clearly have an inside line on the data.

    Read that as "singer" and had to scroll back to find the video to see what the hell I'd missed...

    Appears the same for the evening Government briefings, however as they seem to be fairly on the ball with placement of journalists/cameras/speakers etc when you see the various Tweets from journalists it's possible the camera may not give an accurate indication of the distance. Remember 2 metres is only 6ft 6in and they place down markers on that.

    With the travel restrictions, pub and restaurant closures and a general fear of hospitals among the populace the ED's still have people on trolleys.

    Hopefully these people in charge will learn something during this crisis about their general mismanagement in the past.

    RTE as usual making a bollix of it, large display screen which is never in sharp focus, focusing in on people reading scripts instead.

    Not alone in in that of course, BBC, Euronews etc. do the same graphs, illustrations being referred to never shown.

    All set up as though presser, but no journalists present, lower screen would allow signer in shot, with script reading voicing over.

    Whole point of exercise is communication with public, not just journalists.

    As a member of the public I'm listening to the speakers and getting plenty out of it.

    Now that theres a broad shot after being shown you might want to rethink that comment.

    TV angles make it look different

    Hospital use. We apparently prefer gowns, some systems use those suits.
