Maybe some balance and less sensationalism for the delta variant is needed @rtenews @GeorgeLeeRTE @DonnellyStephen @RiochtConor2 @sailorrooscout @CMOIreland
1/ Last nights RTÉ broadcast on the delta variant was in my humble opinion misleading and fear inducing. Presenting the data without context or balance was wrong.
2/ The facts are that vaccination is protecting again delta variant and should also protect other new variants as they arise
3/ Here is just a sample of science to back this up
And
And
And
Let’s keep going
And some more
Let’s not stop yet
And a couple more
And finally

We need to be rational with how we approach new COVID 19 variants @DonnellyStephen @CMOIreland @ronan_glynn @merrionstreet @HSELive @PatKennyNT @NTBreakfast #antigen
1/ We have a choice to make. We have to stop saying all public health choices around COVID are choices between life and death. That defeats the argument.
2/ It polarises the discussion too much and people in fact make risk choices everyday (smoking, alcohol, diet, exercise, attending for routine health check ups). We balance risk everyday of our lives.

The cyber attack @HSELive @paulreiddublin @DonnellyStephen @NTBreakfast We have been at risk for years
1/ I fully applaud all my colleagues working in HSE hospitals who are working tirelessly to try and keep the show on the road without their IT systems. It must be incredibly difficult.
2/ Marry that challenge to the lack of beds, out of date imaging hardware, and buildings increasingly less than ideal for patient care. But the fact that the show goes in is a testament to the resilience and patient centred approach that all the frontline staff strive for.

I am worried about the message @LeoVaradkar @MichealMartinTD @DonnellyStephen @CMOIreland @SamuelMcConkey1 @NewstalkFM
1/ There’s no doubting this lockdown has been the hardest. But people complied. Yes there was perhaps more traffic than April last year, but nothing is open. There are no gatherings.
2/ No construction, no schools, no retail, nothing. If people are out then it’s for a break from the four walls at home or for some food shopping. And cases are coming down impressively, perhaps not as low as I’d have though they’d be since nothing is open.

The current Covid reality @DonnellyStephen @SusanMitchell_ @knutmoe @DrValerieMorris @MihaiVioreanu @FergalMcGoldri2 @asam100 @DrJohnCurran @stevemur67 @RiochtConor2 @higginsdavidw @DrBrianHiggins @ProfSuperJunior
1/ I am struggling to understand why there are those that deny Covid 19 as a problem. There’s too much noise at the moment. I absolutely encourage balanced debate, discussion of facts, pursuit of science, and avoidance of conspiracy theories.
2/ It’s never made any sense to me that government want “control” by having us all locked down. There is no gain whatsoever for any government to have economic armageddon. And what of the pcr cycle times?

My Covid thoughts
Regardless of ones stance on nphet, pcr issues, casedemic vs pandemic, here is what I think I can summarise from recent months @SusanMitchell_ @DonnellyStephen @RiochtConor2 @MihaiVioreanu @DrJohnCurran @Care2much18 @higginsdavidw @jlamber55605930
1/ Covid cases are increasing for two reasons. Firstly of course the resurgence of cases reflects greater amounts of people coming together. More socialising, bigger numbers of social contacts. But ..
2/ Many “cases” currently picked up through contact test and trace may well reflect the detection of non infectious viral remnants in asymptomatic people, or remnants of previous Covid (in people who had Covid many months ago)

So what’s the next plan. The confusion continues. More questions. @SusanMitchell_ @CMOIreland @MihaiVioreanu @DrJohnCurran @Care2much18 @RiochtConor2 @CcoHse @jlamber55605930 @MlMcNamaraTD @SenatorMcDowell
1/ So Sweden has posted its data for all cause mortality up to Oct this year and it seems that the figures as as low as any other year, lower in fact

2/ Next we have the Irish data
and we seem to be comparing very well with Europe
. And as always with thanks to the ongoing collation of data from Conor
