Interested in understanding why comparing rapid Antigen tests to PCR is Apples and Oranges

Here, I explain why rapid tests are more accurate (not less, as many erroneously believe) for what we generally care about - answering ”Am I Infectious”

The absolute gall of this individual who should be the first to be investigated for his misleading opinions on elimination of Covid as well as answering questions on the @griptmedia data leak
@DCU has been tarnished

@IAApress @eurocontrol Nothing good about it! Airlines gone bust, livelihoods lost or decimated, families kept apart for 18 months, connectivity essential for FDI destroyed need I go on? Dumbest tweet ever. @RecovAIRie @MarkPaulTimes @McConnellDaniel

Shouldn’t really come as much of a surprise, we’ve been shouting about this for almost 18 months! Another difficult winter on the way for Irish airlines and the jobs they support. @RecovAIRie

Today 1,181 cases of Covid were reported,309 in hospital ,60 in ICU. 3 weeks ago Tony Holohan,in a letter to Gov warned that by mid sept we could expect 5,000 cases a day , 1500 in hospital & 250 in ICU .So , my question: is anyone accountable for this ludicrous modelling ?

[John Curran @DrJohnCurran]

1. #antigen? (#snakeoil)
2. Over reliance on vaccines which reduce serious illness but don’t always prevent transmission.QR codes synonymous with “safe” but it doesn’t make any sense.

I’d be more at ease in a room full of antigen negatives than a room full of vaccine positives.

So #wecanbezero can we? Australia has proven categorically that this notion advocated by #ISAG and others is a farce.

This is just not true. We fought tooth and nail to bring the resumption of aviation forward.

So based on the experience of another country (Israel) we have decided to vaccinate 12-15 year olds. But when it comes to antigen testing which is used the world over "we are looking into it" @simoncoveney @LeoVaradkar @EamonRyan @Paschald @RecovAIRie @ReginaDo @DonnellyStephen

It is difficult to imagine a member of government behaving so irresponsibly as the source quoted in this article.

Another reminder—the definition of a ‘travel related case’ is anyone who travelled within the previous 14 days. This is designed to increase such ‘cases’.
