This afternoon.
Dr Steevens’ Hospital, Dublin.
The weekly HSE operational update on the response to Covid-19.
Meanwhile….
In relation to a question about frontline healthcare workers who have refused a vaccine, the HSE’s CEO Paul Reid said: “There have been occasions where teams have gone through a health risk assessment and moved people into different roles.”
He described them as a “small number”.
Meanwhile…

Donegal, a county of people who get thick when you try tell them what to do and who’d argue a black crow white, I should know I’m related to most of them lol
Yeah, isn’t there is a big problem up there when they won’t wear seatbelts.
Yeah – seatbelts protect you from Covid
“floodwall” well that’s a new one for my bsbingo card
I guess Reid gets the big bucks for keeping a straight face when pouring on the hyperbole
but nice little dashboard in fairness:

A small number?
I believe COVID 19 arrived in a small number and look at it now
I remember the day it arrived off a flight from Italy
The spokesman could not say
When asked what flight ? Can not say
Did the passenger get a taxi to the train station to get to NI ? Cannot say
Was it a bus? Cannot say
Seems ones life is in the hands of cannot say
No frontline staff who are not vaccinated can be let a mile near any person who is vulnerable
Put them on unpaid leave
“No frontline staff who are not vaccinated can be let a mile near any person who is vulnerable” eh, why not? You do understand that a vaccinated person can still contract and transmit the virus and that, for the first entire year of this pandemic all patients were being treated by unvaccinated staff, right? Might you just be a little too caught up in the emotion of it all and whipped up in this anti anti vaxxer hysteria being fuelled by the media?
Let’s all sit back and watch Ematty and david get into a barney. Comedy gold.
