    The UK version is an editorial. The Oirish version is a report on what the CMO has said.

    This does not indicate a clash of any sort. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

    It’s almost as if two different countries have had different approaches with varying levels of clarity and consistency leading to different outcomes.

    They’re all well matched
    When you think about

    Politicians – particularly at Cabinet level
    Versus
    Clinicians – particularly at Consultant or National / Big Group/ Regional level

    Are all equally ambitious, and therefore equally corruptible
    Equally egotistical and narcissistic

    All, usually anyway
    Have notions and a bad habit of getting too big for their boots

      I read a meme recently which said ‘its a easy to bribe a scientist as it is to bribe a politician’.

      Something worth remembering I think.

      If you take that approach they we’re all well matched.

      Every one of us us ambitious, corruptible, egotistical and narcissistic.

    Good to see the media finally asking some questions, even if its not the media in our own country yet.

    I’m eagerly awaiting some Irish journalist, any Irish journalist, to actually write some investigative journalism on our ICUs. All these lockdown measure are to prevent them being overwhelmed after all. So what was capacity on March 1st? What is it now? Why hasn’t it expanded more in the last 7+ months?

    Should be pretty easy questions to find answers to. And hold the government to account over.

    That lad Tommy that posts here lamenting the local content in the Irish Daily Mail will be well pleased.
