Other Covid-19 News Today
Disease specialist Professor Sam McConkey warned there could be 5,000 daily cases of the Covid-19 virus in Dublin by the end of October 2020, if action is not taken and if individuals fail to follow anti-Covid advice.
Professor Philip Nolan has warned that Ireland could face up to 3,500 daily COVID-19 cases, if the virus is allowed to continue in its present trend. Prof Nolan explained infections are rising at a rate of between 4% and 6% per day. Same rise will double every 12 to 18 days unless case numbers are brought under control. In the unlikely scenario where we do nothing this would lead to 1400 – 3500 new cases per day by the end of October.
It is now important that Tipperary politicians, like Allan Kelly, Mattie McGrath, together with Premier County TD’s who claim to support this present government; namely Jackie Cahill and Michael Lowry, behave responsibly and leave populist vote catching efforts to Sinn Féin, the Yellow Vest movement, Direct Democracy Ireland and all the other misguided Ben Gilroy’s, Gemma O’Doherty’s and John Waters’ of this our pandemic troubled State.
Interesting to hear Tipperary TD Mr Jackie Cahill, latter who attended the Cheltenham Race Festival in the UK, during the Covid-19 Irish lock-down, and who was calling for a meat plant to be allowed to open in Banagher, Co. Offaly, when Co. Offaly was in lock-down, is now calling for improved precautions to protect himself and other TDs and officials in Dáil Éireann.
