It's the same in the UK. Politicians and commentators criticising the uncertainty in the government's plans.
Demanding an exact plan for Leaving Cert exams for example.
This criticism is not justified.
The path of the pandemic cannot be predicted.
The uncertainty is uncomfortable, but it's much better that the government and NPHET says "we don't know" than give people a false certainty now and dash their hopes later.
The vaccination depends on the smooth delivery of vaccines. The Minister for Health can only say "We will vaccinate X people by the end of June if the vaccines are delivered as scheduled."
