Blamed for the rise of the Delta variant, when in fact the U.K. had low numbers
Still missing targets
One rumour in Ireland was that NPHET themselves did not value it. This was never outright said but was suggested by some ITK journalists at the time when they received some criticism for not doing enhanced contact tracing (an âacademicâ exercise). At the time I criticised them a lot as I wanted to see it used aggressively.
As I said, I think it can work great on low numbers, on the older variants and where you have the ability to put out mass exposure notices. The U.K. and Irelandâs contact tracing systems have been an expensive mess. Delta is making it harder to trace effectively;
Incubation of just 29 hours in Melbourne.
The shit U.K. system is pinging people days later, when they are all out and about anyway.
The CDC made their advice in February. Cases collapsed regardless;
It will make absolutely no difference to case numbers in the U.K. This is another in the line of Guardian articles that ignores that the US has been open for months conducting the dreaded âexperimentâ that the U.K. have alleged to have pioneered. I assume that people are ignoring this because of the change in occupant in the White House in January.
HSE have been using covid to hide what a terrible service it is. Frontline workers arenât overwhelmed because of covid but have been for years due to short staffing, poor pay and conditions and terrible management
Thereâs no point in debating anything COVID related with @Malarkey because it just turns into him calling you a fuckwit, ceasebag or sledging along those lines.
Well, yes and no. But irrelevant that I like to be pungent with unpleasant people. Otherwise I am extremely polite, like I was brought up.
I have won all the arguments, such as they are, because I can think from first principles. And I am just an ordinary Johnny Raw from South Kilkenny⌠Amazing, really. Then again, Kilkenny is a special place.
