Letter to the Editor: Transparency needed on Covid-19 facts and figures

I wish to agree wholeheartedly with the views expressed by Minister Leo Varadkar on the Claire Byrne Show on Monday night last. It is about time someone stood up to the daily roadshow which has almost taken over from the evening news.

Monday evening we saw on the evening news an almost flamboyant arrival of medical personnel that morning to meet with the Government. On the previous evening information was leaked that they were going to advise that the country should immediately change from level two to level five. We later saw the same people depart from the meeting with their heads hung low, gone was the big smiles of the morning.
