Last night, acting CMO Dr Ronan Glynn revealed that 1/3 of Waterford's cases in the recent spike were related to a meat plant. This is after both

and

refused to confirm cases in the plant because they "don't comment on individual cases".

So, when the four pathologists wrote their letter in October 2018, as we know, it went ignored. Then, in March, I issued the FOI request looking for the letter. As soon as word went around the SSWHG offices that someone was looking for the letter, the CEO finally decided to reply

I don’t understand why they have been so quick to attempt to discredit 4 professionals who have put their reputation on the line for the sake of the mortuary. They have been caught out with this issue and have come out fighting, which I find impossible to fathom.

The county leading the way in just about all Covid stats is...Waterford. Until today, Roscommon had the longest stretch without a case. That run ended today, leaving Waterford with the most days without a case (24 - or 26 if the last two national updates are taken at face value)

In 2003 that the mortuary wasn’t fit for purpose but didn’t do anything about it until 2013, at which point they abandoned the project and didn’t reignite it until they were shamed into it. That’s not good enough.

This is from Dawn Meats: “The HSE has confirmed to Dawn that the recent rise in cases in Waterford did not originate in our facility and has been classified as community transmission.” - it may well have started in the community, but it grew in your plant.

In a little over one month, we’ve gone from 131 positive patients in UHW to 20 this morning. Going in the right direction. This might be the reason why some of us are a little more cautious than others.

It’s important to remember that people are contracting this virus by doing the things we’re all doing. You could have it and not even know. People are getting positive tests and genuinely don’t know how they got it. No foreign travel. Sticking to all the protocols. No blame game

Some of the transfers from call to cork were upwards of 7 hours. And still we wait for even one hour extra cardiac service. Most people are probably bored of this issue now but it could be you or a family member in the back of that ambulance at any moment.
