Image: Sam Boal Image: Sam Boal THE CHIEF MEDICAL Officer has warned there is now widespread community transmission of Covid-19 in Ireland.
The measures we now have to take have to be directed to the whole population, which is why we’re appealing to everybody – every single individual, every single family, household organisation, workplace – to listen to the public health advice and not conclude this is something that applies to somebody else when it applies to each one of us.
This evening Dr Holohan said “it simply isn’t going to be possible” to protect nursing homes adequately with this level of community transmission.
Alright, just so that we're clear: CMOIreland says 'There is little point in us doing everything that we possibly can within a nursing home in a context when outside the nursing home we have widespread community transmission' & 'journalists' don't call him out?
How is it that some of the most hygienic places(care homes) are the most dangerous? like everything else it just doesn't make sense.
Will it be possible for CMOIreland to be held accountable for the lack of recoveries since June? Or is HSELive to blame? MichealMartinTD grow a pair & demand answers, then again you would actually need to be a leader & since you share the position with LeoVaradkar you'll fail
It actually is. Once every staff / visitor is infected and clears 2 weeks then the care homes are shielded by a wall of antibody immunity. Easy, sensible. But the selfish lockdown fanatics prefer long drawn out deaths instead.
I have my reasons for saying this but is there an air of desperation today... The press conference was the day before the budget.. Is there infighting between NPHET and other civil servants?
There is no reason why we can't keep nursing homes safe !!... If the CMO isn't up for it then move out of the way and let somebody more capable in your place ...I'm sure you'll be missed.
It's not possible to protect nursing homes because all efforts and resources are spent locking down the rest of the country. More Classic Hoopla from Holohan.
Disgraceful quote from Hooligan who wanted Nursing Homes open early March, to the public! Easy keep CV out of Nursing Homes. Care! When there's will there's a way! Simon 'The Bitch' Harris allowed Agency staff turnover in Nursing Homes! Paul Reid didn't include NH's on PPE list!
Who's going In to nursing homes
