1. #ZeroCovid Ireland proponents use a similar logic to someone looking at James Mcclean and Shane Duffy and telling everyone #Ireland can win the world Cup because Brazil and France did it...

2. New Zealand and Australia are not proof of principle and do not represent a template. They are case studies with hugely important differences. If you look at what has happened in Ireland and think its a "strategy" issue you are being dense

3. If you go a step further to suggest you have "the strategy" to fix it you are both arrogant and dense in the same way that someone thinks a good manager and strategy is all that seperates #Ireland from lifting the world Cup.

4. Mcclean and Duffers are good lads but they arent winning us any trophies. Just rewind the tapes and look at what has lost #Ireland this game against #COVID19 and tell me what has changed that makes you think #Zero #COVID is possible. #testing and contact tracing????

5. What about #NewZealand and #australia, any major differences? What time of year did #COVID19 first arrive? Who are major trading partner? Do they have open borders with a union of 20+ countries or free travel with several others? What about healthcare and testing capacities?

6. After a year of #lockdown do you really think people are more likely to follow your rules. #ZeroCovid only works if you force compliance and I suggest anyone who advocates for it isn't really living in the real world.

7. I dunno maybe I can't see it or maybe the view from the ivory towers that #ZeroCovid #Ireland proponents live in is particularly good. As far as I can see all it amounts to is ppl advocating for the infeasible or stirring shit with silver spoons..

8. These #ZeroCovid heads would serve us alot better if they could do 1 single useful thing... Just 1. Like maybe increase our testing capacity, develop digital public health systems, help secure vaccines and more efficient rollout etc etc. Tell me what have they done?

9. And let's just say I'm 100% wrong what even is the point of #ZeroCovid now. Regardless of calling #COVID19 seasonal or not, seasons certainly impact incidence. Its basic medicine. So we come out of this #Lockdown3, by autumn 100% of key demographics vaccinated and then.

10. Timing is everything and the #ZeroCovid heads are about 10 months late to the show. Feb, March 2020, #ZeroCovid = Bravo nice thinking. #ZeroCovid in 2021 with full vaccine rollout predicted by end of year... Not so much
