1/x Maybe the weakest Irish govt in history?Subservient to a cabal of unelected “officials” with no #SkinInTheGame #Ireland is CLOSED https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/belgium-france-italy-us-and-canada-among-16-countries-added-to-mandatory-quarantine-1.4533084?mode=amp

2/x Question suggestions for our equally subservient (bought) “media”: When does policy end? What are criteria for reversing it?What about immune escape?Wont there be more & more #VariantsOfConcern?Is there an exit strategy?Has there been a cost/benefit analysis for this policy?

3/x If #AstraZeneca is known to be ineffective against South Africa variant - how do we know that there aren’t more variants on the way that would make it impossible to reverse this policy without tacit acknowledgment that it was flawed in the first place? https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2102214

4/x Why are unelected state employees from @roinnslainte #nphet making critical and profound foreign policy decisions? Why are elected representatives @LeoVaradkar @MichealMartinTD @DonnellyStephen outsourcing the most important decisions to a group with such a narrow focus?

5/5 Is Ireland crippled by a fear of taking responsibility?Are decision makers more motivated by avoiding blame for their decisions than they are by making correct (but risky) decisions?Quarantine list is open ended folly.Adding USA;France;Italy etc is an act of national Harakiri
