    Testing in homes and hospitals is certainly a positive suggestion and this should indeed be maximised. However, testing did not stop Covid from reaching the White House and if testing and contact tracing puts a significant proportion of health care staff out of bounds then you have a staffing crisis, more demand and less staff. This still wrecks any normality in health treatment generally.

    Earlier in the year the maximum number in hospital was 3-4 weeks after lockdown, with numbers increasing all the time trouble ahead is inevitable.

    If they test everyone in those environments then the spread should be greatly reduced. It was the HSE's decision to move old people from hospital to nursing homes without testing that was a real problem the last time. That and agency staff working in multiple centres at the same time. Both of these should never happen again.

    Even at peak COVID our hospitals were extremely quiet. We paid private hospitals an absolute fortune to lay idle. We had the city west hotel and the overflow capacity lined up, which wasn't necessary.

    I just don't agree that we will see armageddon unless we severely restrict everyone.

    The irony of a flat-curver trying to compare my post to a flat earther. Can I ask you what link there is to what I posted? It just seems you posted pure sh1te but I'll let you try to clarify it.

    Any first year medical student would be failed if they called a positive cotton bud swab a “case” without doing a proper examination.

    Well you should booted out of the recruitment process instantly if you enter any of these disgraceful protests, we don’t need these type of people as Gardai.

    There is major COVID denial going on in here, a lot of absolute gutter talk with “science” from Facebook hoax posts. Anyone who cannot see the necessity for a hard lockdown to get this virus under control has their eyes closed.

    Masters in business, since you ask.

    You claim to have a PhD, why haven't you shown up in the vaccine thread?

    No. No interest to engage with people that call a virus that has killed more than a million worldwide (despite huge measures to restrict it) as harmless. No time for idiots, they just go on the ignore list (adios).

    By way of ice to cool the heat on these bizarre new NPHET proposals, one of the Chinese vaccines is now being rolled out to the general public. Only sinophobic trolls and covid misery porn gremlins are unhappy with this.

    https://www.ft.com/content/6a7289e6-45a5-410d-98c0-9977e4026af1

    UK policy will be to only roll out the vaccine to health workers and over 50s

    https://www.ft.com/content/d2e00128-7889-4d5d-84a3-43e51355a751

    The end is in sight anyway.

    I never claimed that my PhD was in anything medical or bio based so why would involvement (or not) in a vaccine thread be a point to highlight.

    Jesus, I'm surprised you leave your house every day with that pathetic attitude. A million out of the estimated 750m who have been infected? WHO estimate btw. 0.13% current estimate of death rate. That is f-all.

    You should direct the word idiot in your post back at yourself.

    Don’t forget anti-vaxers they are unhappy and there is a lot of them around as recent posts demonstrate.

    Approximately half the health service are anti-vaxers given their uptake of the flu vaccine each year. What do you think of that? It's such a low IQ term that means nothing by itself, "anti-vaxer". Like how they say to never argue with an idiot.

    Your figure of 750m really shows you're away with the fairies. Go back to whatever you're smoking there. Clueless.

    The only reason I haven't protested before is because I don't want to be associated with those right wing /racist/xenophobic loopers.
    We need a protest movement which doesn't involve lunatics.

    Yes, it’s harmless to the vast majority. Median age of deaths in this country due to Covid19 is 83.

    Are you able to process that?

    Let’s lock up over 5 million people to protect about 200k people of which 0.1 ‘might’ die of this so called deadly virus.

    I don’t expect you to comprehend these numbers.

    I work in R&D but not in pharma (nor have I ever suggested this either). There is a lot of major R&D happening in Ireland, in a lot of major companies, that isn’t pharma.
