Ireland’s Covid-19 testing regime is an “omnishambles” and an “unmitigated disaster”, a frontline nurse has stated. “The official numbers are hilarious,” she said, adding that in her and her colleagues’ opinion, the number of people with Covid-19 in their hospital is almost three times what the official figures say. Particular ire is reserved for the manner with which communication as to Ireland’s positive numbers has been handled. “The fact that the numbers from Germany are only coming through now is ridiculous, when we knew beyond doubt that the numbers were higher,” she said. The numbers are still being fudged, it’s as simple as that.
