Do you have a plan on how to protect health care workers who are exposed to infectious patients, often unknowingly? A significant proportion of these HCWs are above 50, and even if they choose to avoid contact with infectious patients, some, even with testing, slip through.

It's the nature of work in healthcare. There is exposure to infection. Our bosses have to make this as safe as possible, but we can't get the risk to zero, and still provide care. Testing is imperfect, and probably always will be - universal precautions as for HIV are one option.

I don't understand the guys logic? He would prefer to mandate measures that abuse children and teens at the expense of the elderly? Not to say the elderly should not be protected, they should be. But gov has failed them all! And now we pay the price.

Det är otroligt frustrerande att om och om igen höra det kallas ”flockimmunitetsstrategi” och att det förpackas som att informationen varit vilseledande. Och samma sak med att det primära incitamentet skulle ha varit att rädda ekonomin.

I get your point (in translation), and to a point agree, but whatever Sweden did neither protected their economy, nor protected lives. You could have done worse, but a fair verdict so far is 'could do better' and so could we in Ireland.
