Why not add that the pcr test is fraught with false positives? Nor was it a test ever devised for covid 19.

No problem... another 400 Chinese students on the way to replace them.

RTE are the virus

Tested positive for WHAT?

All Miriam O’CALLAGHAN WAS interest in tonight on Prime time, Was what Leo said , She is trying to be Judge , Leo explainer & Delivered the differences of who porpoise & Who Delivers

They should all be expelled for one term.... These are not children, they are young adults... They know how Covid 19 transmits, they know the consequences for vulnerable and elderly..

Sadly students in the North have put all those over 75 in the North at risk of dying - Shocking in the pursuit of knowledge one could be so selfish

Students having fun....shock, horror....

Fair play achieving herd immunity

EvooVFX ffs man

Hilarious kid on the radio this morning...'Like how were we supposed to know what the Covid procedures at Queens were like....like they sent out an email like but like we didn't really pay any attention to it like'. Sounds as if the bar is so low you'd need scuba gear for entry!

🙄

Meanwhile TCD has been online since March without much issue or disruption. Why have universities been ignoring their online infrastructure for so long? Gov + Unis are forcing students to attend face to face lectures & the students are paying the price. Its an utter disgrace

I suppose they were all studying and lectureing medicine 🤔

Like a Bouncy Castle Unplug the Generator.

They should all be suspended
