UAE including non-WHO-approved rapid serological testing in their testing numbers (as are Spain), so they don& #39;t make the list.

Anyway that& #39;s a phenomenal effort from Ireland& #39;s Medical Scientists and frankly has been woefully under-appreciated in the media.

Fantastic job https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart">

Would love to see a journalist splash this over the front page tomorrow:

"Medical Scientists Deliver!"

Logistics and complexity of this are off-the-scale. We& #39;ve tested ~ 6% of the entire population in less than 3 months, one of literally a handful of countries to achieve that.

And of course it& #39;s not just #MedicalScientists.

GP& #39;s, Ambulance crews, swabbers, receptionists, cleaners, couriers getting samples around etc.

Massive undertaking and all-in effort to test so many people. Most of the above have worked so hard. Bit of praise wouldn& #39;t go amiss.
