Taoiseach warns of ‘frightening’ wave of delayed cancer diagnoses next year

  1. Feels like an awful long time since anyone who warned of inflation, social breakdown, and missed diagnoses because of the unique length and brutality of Ireland’s lockdown was a right-wing extremist granny killer.

  2. Has already begun. My own mum died this year after several cancelled/rescheduled appointments for screenings due to covid. This is just priming the pump for when the headlines start breaking about it.

  3. He was pulled up about it last year. Questioned and warned about by that guy from Aontu. I’m not a fan of Aontu guy, bit too religious for me, but he did a good job bringing it up to MM last year, it’s a bit fucking rich now MM whinging about this. He knew, he was warned, and now here we are. They don’t care about us.

  4. Delayed diagnoses of medical conditions like cancers, at conditions will account for some the rise. Perhaps the isolation and reduced exercise etc affecting people’s mental states will account for some more.

    I wonder what other factors there might be that everyone has in common that may have negative health effects.

    I want people to have a deep think about it.
