Fergal Bowers: The Department of Health has also said there was no backlog in yesterday’s Covid figures of 7,333.

1. Are the swab figures just partial or what happened there

2. Swabs tomorrow when we get the weekend figures will be interesting so

   Fun week ahead…a 10k day is coming

3. It’s staggering to think but 20,000 is a number we might end up reaching by January. Omicron is so infectious it’s insane and Christmas has already proven it can set off a chain reaction in Ireland.

4. I have that restless and unsettled feeling from last year that I hoped to never feel again.

5. I know a heap of people that have it now and thankfully none of them feel too bad. All saying it’s like a shitty headcold. Fingers crossed it stays this way.🤞

6. Labs have three days to do the manual process to input confirmed cases. If they submit them within 3 days that is not a backlog according to the Department of Health.

   That has been their consistent line since last January.

   It is disappointing that their comms are not making this clear at every opportunity.

7. Starting to wonder if I should even fly home now

8. The swab data from the days prior says otherwise.
