I am impressed with what the programme is doing and the additional information that has been provided, although I found the opening statement a little box-ticking in nature. To echo Deputy Shortall, language is important from, for example, a health insurance point of view in terms of how a disease is described. If it is not a disease, one cannot claim for treatment.

Dr. Ní Bhriain described it as an entity. Dr. Kent described it as a disorder. How would Dr. Ní Bhriain describe Covid? How would she define it?
