The "Expert Group" is flat wrong on air filters. And has been all pandemic. It's laughable at this stage - if it weren't so bloody serious.
I can almost guarantee that AMRIC are still focussed on droplets/fomite transmission, and have yet to accept the science - which became clear *last year* - that the virus spreads in the air. Worth going back to this good summary from May. wired.com/story/the-teen…
And here's an early look at "droplets" v aerosols from *March 2020*. Our health authorities apparently have not been following the science. It's bananas. wired.com/story/they-say…
Really good from @MoyneFlu on masks on #rtept. The messaging on masks has been terrible - people haven't been told how big the differences are in mask quality, particularly post Delta.

I'm a bit stunned at this. @PhilipNolan_MU has completely failed to understand the basics of how the virus spreads. It's December 2021, 20 months into the pandemic. As @johnwenger9 says it defies the laws of physics. I'd also argue it defies basic intuition. Image
I think I can fairly infer from Nolan's comments that he's *still* relying on a dated understanding of heavier aerosols ("droplets") vs less heavy aerosols. It's this wrong understanding that led to an incorrect focus on screens and 2m distance at the start of the pandemic.
Th science on this moved on last year. The droplets distinction itself was based on bad science.

While Cummings is on it's worth looking briefly at how perplexed people were in March last year while all this was going on.

Here's some:

Ok here's my calculation of delivered to administered doses to Week 15 (ie to Friday, April 16)

PB: Delivered 1,009,710; Administered 892,535
AZ: Delivered 355,200; Administered 243,846
M: Delivered 109,200; Administered 51,973
JJ: Delivered 14,400; Administered 0

Which means *stock on hand* going into Saturday April 17 of:

PB: 117,175
AZ: 111,354
M: 57,227
JJ: 14,400
In the data we have available Sat -> Mon we can subtract and say current stock is:

PB: 90,021
AZ: 108,692
M: 55,910
JJ: 14,400

I assume the 108k on hand AZ are for giving to 65-69 year olds this week. Moderna has a 50% buffer.

Well. This looks interesting. *sips tea*.
Hmmm "not sought" but "received"
The words "directly" and "sought" are doing serious heavy lifting here.

So the High Court will deliver judgments in not one, not two, but three @RightToKnowIE cases this week. 👀
Judgments by Simons, Barr and Barrett respectively, all focussed in different ways on the AIE Directive/Regulations
Update: In Right To Know CLG v OCEI (and RTÉ) Judge Max Barrett has found (comprehensively) in our favour. The OCEI must do decision again in light of the judgment.
