My piece in today's Indo👇
"Public health measures underpinned by flawed modelling
has brought us to the brink of yet another preventable lockdown. The louder the
scientists
clamour for ventilation mitigations such as HEPA air purifiers and
upgrading masks to N95/FFP2, the more Tony Holohan doubles down on “wash your
hands”, despite evidence showing the risk of transmission from surfaces
is low.
With the nation’s health again in peril, now is not
the time for misplaced deference. The country’s Chief Medical Officer should be
accountable for his dogged denial of the scientific consensus within the WHO,
ECDC and others, that: children can catch and spread Covid as effectively as
adults, Covid is an airborne
disease, asymptomatic transmission is common and Long-Covid exists
which can cause multi-organ damage".
...."It’s not too late for Dr Holohan to take responsibility instead of blaming individuals for NPHET’s doomed deployment of hand sanitiser as our primary defence against a deadly airborne disease".
Covid safe Halloween party mentioned in article👇
Pre-Covid, my kids' Halloween parties were legendary. The whole neighborhood was 'round our house. This year, with Covid rampant in the community & health care professionals on their knees with exhaustion, I had 3 & made sure they a) were all safe & b) had great craic. Mission was accomplished 👻💀
Masked up for indoor horror filim in conservatory: windows open either end for cross breeze, Hepa air purifier in shot & blankets provided for extra snugness 😎
"Den of doom" (ramshackle doorless polytunnel) for unmasked hijinks & eating (all kids fully vaccinated 👍)
