European governments are "well behind" in the fight against coronavirus and the continent is becoming an epicentre for the disease, a senior medic at the World Health Organization has warned.
"Right now we are well behind this virus in Europe so getting ahead of it is going to take some serious acceleration in what we do and maybe much more comprehensive nature of measures that are going to be needed." He also warned that the free movement of people within the EU was going to present a huge challenge as the transmission rate gathers pace, and might have to be suspended in a bid to get the virus under control.
He expressed his frustration at conspiracy theorists and anti-lockdown campaigners, but said not everyone had the knowledge to accept the scale of the problem. "Governments need to persuade people to do the right thing but they need to support people in doing that."
Yes they are trying to manage it not shut the country down with no plan to re open. But I guess Ireland can keep borrowing so not just 1 generation but maybe 2 and 3
Haven't seen him for a while. I think Rte only wheel the irish who doctor to give bad news or good things about nphet.

Shameful RTÉ is part of this constant propaganda with no room for debate, bringing the country to its knees, job losses, mental health out the door, cancelled operations, the sooner its scrapped the better
Some day, we all die. Death is inevitable. Only since March has the inevitable become a fetish. Fear has become the new porn. Covid, the New God. The abnormal, the new normal. And the mask, the new face.
SimonHarrisTD The WHO lost all their credibility back in 2009 when they faked the swine flu pandemic for political reasons.👇 Why are you letting them call the shots & destroy Ireland? 'Why The WHO Faked A Pandemic' - Forbes Feb 5, 2010.
If the WHO are so great then why did the USA defund them The World Hoax Organisation. Don't know their arse from their elbow. Making it up as they go along.
SimonHarrisTD Wait until they see the state of Ireland, they wont look so bad...
WHO and the ESRI are kinda two organisations that nobody really takes serious. Mad announcements now and again and in general the normal reaction is just to ignore them
SimonHarrisTD excellent :
Only a vaccine and herd immunity can fight covid. Lockdown is controlling people not the virus. In the end rebellion outward or subversive fights against control and the real problem i.e. the virus gains control. WHO advice lacks credibility from the beginning.
Funny that the WHO Technical Director Said no such thing, she said the opposite today. I’m sorry but it’s hard to take WHO seriously at this stage & Ryan’s clear preference for useless lockdowns & now he wants to abolish freedom circulation brexit style.
SimonHarrisTD Opinions are like Arseholes, everybody has one! But this man is just an arsehole with an opinion! He’s Bill Gates Kermit the Frog, a complete Muppet!
Throw away your masks, see your friends & your family, open your businesses, welcome your loved ones to your home, hug grandparents, reject anti-social distancing, travel, love & live life & when they try to stop you, tell them that you're Trent Hardcastle IamTrentHardcastle

Actually thought this a retweet from March, the poor WHO didn’t get the carnage they predicted and now Europe is entering Winter virus season they see the last opportunity to make hay before people realise CV19 is simply an endemic virus. Maybe RTE could wheel out McConkey?
Turncoat. Every 3 days the message changes. Tell him he can move to New Zealand or Australia if he wishes
You can tell Mr Ryan to calm down.
Is it accurate numbers out of China, India and Africa that the WHO are Using to draw this reliable comparison?
SimonHarrisTD No one with half a brain would listen or believe WHO. The most corrupt organisation
Ah yes. The WHO would love nothing more for us to descend fully into Chinese or Melbourne style totalitarianism. Not surprising given the regime their head honcho spring from. These people see freedom and democracy as an impediment to their grand visions for the future
But are they are still against lockdowns.. Do you like what I did there?
SimonHarrisTD This guy is awful. Would not trust him for a moment.
Oh that’s ok so
Theres no way that head doesn't take a drink or 6.
Yet the overall excess death rate is still below normal...
Aren’t Australia and New Zealand coming into their summer months? Is there a chance perhaps that that might influence the number of cases? Or maybe common sense is outside the sphere of rte’s reporting
Same WHO who said no human to human transmission, said all flights are safe from china, knew about the virus months before made it a pandemic, refuse acknowledge taiwan. Why are they still seen as legitimate and no paid off china proxy
Just as people are starting to wake up a resist restrictions.. Coincidence that.
Representatives of the WHO said not to use lockdowns. Show their interviews. The WHO has changed it's mind on many issues about Covid19.
We need to do what Victoria in Australia has done....4 months on strict lookdown to get to zero covid.....
That’s because Europe’s governments are putting economy before health... Health first economies will always grow again
Pity the WHO didn’t think to tell Europe about the virus when it started isn’t it
Leave Australia relax their restrictions.... I wonder what will happen again then 🙄
Tedros is a paid shill. The WHO is discredited. No one is listening to them.
Is anyone still listening to this clown show?
More comprehensive measures? The continent is locked down and under curfew. He’d have been better off naming countries with poor track and trace, and a lack/absence of testing at border points. Countries are focussed on whether knickers and tampons should be sold.DrMikeRyan
Some don’t want to be “persuaded” about the gravity of the pandemic, despite enduring various lockdowns&over 2500 dead on the island.This is clear by many stupid replies to this article. Complacent, privileged&entiltled attitudes will have us in&out of restrictions for years.
Less deaths in 2nd wave.....
Welcome to March 2020. It's almost like the last 7 months never happened. ENDLOCKDOWNNOW nolockdowns Lockdown2 lockdown LockdownIreland
Well when you got a fucking Lone Ranger like holohan who thinks he’s the balls and can eradicate a disease without a fucking vaccine what do you expect fuckingclowm
Why are we listening to this man? It’s obvious he knows nothing about health
You have your answer
Given that he's Irish, he's more than well aware that respiratory infections increase at this time of the year, across Europe. A comparison against Southern Hemisphere countries heading into Summer is obviously missing the point.
The useless Irish government have failed miserably
As opposed to where
🥱
Sick of the sight of this man
Especially Ireland considering our government have set no protocols for our ports and airports they’re too busy awarding ludicrous and illegal contracts to the friends and families of government officials
Well we're trying everything so what's the solution? Less mouthin ' and more action
Corrupts - all of them....
Who elected the WHO? They have been shown to ineptit in this crisis from the very start. We need to remove our association with the WHO until they restructure their organisation! DefundRTE RememberOurLostElderly
Sure he would know, he's the mystic meg if the medical world, has had this all predicted correctly since October 2019,right down to the phrase 'a new normal' haven't you Mike, I'm amazed paddy powers haven't head hunted you by now.
Did chinese party paid for this article ?
Who's doing well?
Yet you clowns all laughed at America. 😂😂😂😂😂
