China required shipments from the US and EU at that time, they had their own problems.

A mixed bag indeed. Social media is very quick to cast definitive judgement.

It will never end lads.

103 in icu as of this morning.

The north is going to be our main problem. Two different plans on the same tiny island. They are mucking up our icu numbers.

I suspect a more likely reason for the increase in Twitter activity is the high number of people stuck at home and engaging in social media for the first time.

As was pointed out yesterday you’re getting a lot of frustrated people like the 3725289540275 family.

We could have scaled up from one testing lab to two or three in anticipation. A lot of our strategy has been reactive rather than preemptive. As I said, some things have been done well and others haven’t, in my opinion.

One for the awful journalism thread.

Ireland: Confirmed cases of coronavirus halves

@TheUlteriorMotive

Encouraging news from Ireland, where the daily growth rate in confirmed cases of coronavirus has halved and the country appears to have avoided an unmitigated epidemic, writes my colleague Rory Carroll in Dublin.

…his eyes on this since January, why did we wait until late Feb early march to begin the scale up and provision of these services.Regardless, we are where we are now. I think we’ve been good on measures and bad on other things. Hopefully to fuck we’ve done enough to give the health service every chance

In fairness to him it needs politicians to make any big decision on this. FG were focused on the election and no politician was taking in seriously ir was going to make a risky decision.

Leo has painstakingly said he has been following Tony’s lead on this since the start, now he’s probably distancing himself from it politically but they are or they aren’t following advice.

Sure that is the way the country is run, rather that be preemptive we react and we only react when it is has gone beyond a point that problem can not be pushed down the road or hidden.

All decisions everywhere in this crisis have been political, not scientific.

But in some places more political than others.

The great cliche of politics in this crisis has been “we’re following the science”.

“Science” can tell you anything.

Cosgrave is some fucking cunt

[anon78624367]

He should be banned off Twitter for that

[Dziekanowski]

I’m returning to the anti-Cosgrave camp. It was great to see him wind the fuck out of the right people for a few weeks but he’s jumped the shark now.

It’s great to be home.
