Government need to be careful here, there is clearly a lack of any plan to get out of this.
Cowen putting the boot in.
Backbenchers are our only hope, to exert pressure to not defer to NPHET all the time over everything.

Members of NPHET are fairly regularly able to pop up for slots on news, talkshows (even twitter -hi Tony) particularly when it suits them to get a message out. Fairly noticeable how quickly theyâve gone to ground now. Thatâs fair enough if itâs the end of them in the public eye and they retreat back into a traditional advisory role - otherwise it would just look like another political move by a body which should assuredly not be political.

Youâd be better served working with them rather than against.
Did you get opened up yet Laz?
Well it would be good if a few people who do advocate opening the pubs on July 5th set out exactly what they think would happen over, say, the following three months if that happened. None if yis are prepared to put yer money where yer mouth is.

One million dollars. Seriously though, yis are just arguing into a void. None of you has made a serious effort to say why they think itâs a good idea to open the pubs now and why it is safe and why it wonât cause a backsliding into further restrictions. This is the case in the public sphere too. There are a lot of people against stuff but not prepared to put forward serious arguments which actually map out what they think would happen if they got their way. Thatâs the least you expect from people who are apparently so certain in their views, and so furious.
