Friendâs brother flying back to Ireland today. Wasnât let on the plane as his PCR was 50 hours old instead of 48. Had to book another flight via Belfast and drive to Limerick from there.
The way he confidently expressed something that was patently untrue re the anecdote was disconcerting in terms of what else he could be bullshitting about especially in his field where experts or so called experts are the authority and shouldnât be challenged. That and wanting to ban air travel for 2 years. That was disconcerting also.
In all seriousness though, the bars were open two weeks in Sept I think and as far as I know there were very limited reports of outbreaks with them. Most of the spread seemed to be based around household visits.
It was an interview on Newstalk and if memory serves it was in the context of someone being vaccinated with 2 doses and still getting seriously sick from Covid. Scally was trying to point out that vaccines arenât the panacea and other measures were needed. Ciara Kelly was on about accepting some level of risk, Scally gave an example or anecdote of the above person who he knew getting sick instead of giving stats and they had an argument on what is or isnât an anecdote.
