My own frustration with the authorities is that refuse point blank to be influenced what others have done successfully and to turn the deaf ear to authorities like the WHO. They lacked any cohesive plan and are now flailing around in the dark without direction hoping something, anything they happen to hit will impress the electorate instead of using
@elacsaplau's torch of wisdom and clarity.
@Leo, I'm not advocating once-off testing of the population and, unlike our leaders, I understand it's as pointless as not doing mass testing. Repeat testing of at risk populations should be part of the plan we so sadly lack. Copy the plans of those who have saved the lives of thousands of countrymen, ask for the plans with the humility of the utterly useless. It could still save lives and reduce infections unless they piss all the money away on more PowerPointless slides and lacking in Excellence graphs.
Let's assume part-time medic Leo, starring in his own medical drama, had had a plan and let's assume the supporting cast somehow managed to execute that plan as well as the South Korean's did theirs, what might the outcomes for our population have looked like?
South Korea: Pop 51.26M, Cases 11,412, Deaths 264
Ireland: Pop 4.93M, Cases 1,098, Deaths 26 instead of
Ireland: Pop 4.93M, Cases 24,391, Deaths 1,583
Based on the latest time-aligned figures from

Unelected Leo and his band of gypsies are responsible for paralysing our economy, more than 23,000 unnecessary cases of infection and suffering and the waste of more than 1,550 lives. Who will call them to account for their performance and the ongoing waste a resources on pontless pilots? When will they meet their own performance targets or is ongoing failure to be the mark of our health services forever?
