Iāve no idea. Itās a bizarre and idiotic attempt at a point but heāll argue it til the cows come home so thereās no point in going any further with it.

Oh yeah, forgot. You have no issues.
+1 to this. We went via the GP last week for the two boys after the positive crĆØche case. The GP got us booked into DCU the next day, which is relatively close by, when there were no other options online in Dublin.

What happens to a close contact of a close contact in this situation ? Letās say your last kid to get it , who had tested negative all along til now , if she had interacted with a neighbours child , what was the protocol til now for the neighbours child given your daughter didnāt have it ?
I donāt have any of the type of aggression/insecurity issues you have.
Iām sure you can find a low paid worker to shout and bully next time they come with a delivery for you, probably makes you feel like a man after spending the day hiding under the bed from a flu.
That was our experience in the house and other households affected at the time too. The antigen tests were 100% accurate v the PCR tests.
Also one of the children had a PCR test at 5pm on a Friday evening. Woke up Saturday morning laid low with flu type symptoms. The PCR test take 12 hours previous came back negative, the antigen test they took on the Sunday came back positive which was then confirmed by a further PCR later that week.

Holohanās underlings was on the radio this morning saying 80% of positive antigen tests resulted in positive pcr tests. Dunno what the stats are for false negatives. He reckons there were 300k antigen tests taken and 200k of these didnāt go on for pcr tests. Not sure what his point was. Prob reckons most of the 300k had symptoms.
It can depend on the contact tracer to be perfectly honest, the advice we have got with each call has varied so much it is hard to know. I dont think half of them know themselves. It seems that in most practical sense, it is up to two days previous to the positive result to have a close contact. But the close contact can be a hard definition also, so our daughter who had played soccer we got confirmed that because it was outside and no major close contact, no one is considered a close contact. No school children are by default ever considered a close contact, regardless of situation, which is a farce. If she had interacted with a neighbours child for more than 2 hours indoors within the last 2 days, then that would be considered a close contact and notified by the HSE

Quite right. I was typing the nisra web address when I caught myself on. I am not going down the rabbit hole.
I know that lad fairly well. Dead right too. As in the lad behind the counter.
So he kept trying to break the rules?
Almost like he didnāt care.

It is a nonsense though.
The vaccine is effectively useless when it comes to transmission, itās mere optics and theatre.
Thatās simply not correct.
Well done lads
our primary school is riddled
it looks like schools will close early for Christmas
