A little help for NI's media when questioning the this lot:
1. Swann, you say hospital numbers are increasing when PHA data shows them decreasing. Can you explain?
2. McBride - you're telling people sceptical of your consistently wrong modelling to "wise up". Is scepticism bad? https://twitter.com/PhilipWatson_/status/1295852178163273734

3. Young, at a time when there's 4 people in hospital CV19 related, down from 8 a week ago; when you've increased testing x4, & with 288+ positive results yet no added hospitalisations. What evidence can you point to that increased positive results = more inpatients?
4. All 3, given testing has increased 4-fold whilst hospital numbers are at an all time low and given we've seen only 3 deaths "related to", not *from* CV19 in 37 days (PHA). Based upon what evidence and/or data are you continuing to insist the people remained frightened?
You insisted masks were to "stop the spread" yet since they were introduced there has been a .3% increase in positive tests results when compared to 7 days prior to 10/8. What evidence and/or data are you using to support your claims masks work at stopping the spread?
If you guys need anymore, I've a pages filled. Just ask. Or, read the data yourselves, compare what it says to what these 3 are saying and formulate your own questions.
