- You have failed, now it’s too late to close the stable doors as the horse has bolted - Journalist
- Someone may speak emotionally. There are educated people in this forum - Dr. Sudath Samaraweera
Chief Epidemiologist Dr. Sudath Samaraweera was confronted during a media briefing at the Health Promotion Bureau yesterday over the spike in COVID-19 infections in the country.
Journalist: Why are the age categories of the infected not available to the public
Dr. Sudath?
Dr. Sudath: We have to update it time to time. We have given it. We are dealing with a pandemic and we are working on. We are using these data for the control of the disease.
Journalist: It has not been controlled. The third wave has come and we are having 1,400 infections. We have failed.. We have failed.. I have another question. Was the Epidemiology Unit told that there could be a new variant on April 08 and what did they do about it? Give us some solid answers Dr. Sudath.
Dr. Sudath: Someone may speak emotionally. There are educated people in this forum.
Journalist: This is an emotional forum because people are dying Dr. Sudath. We are the ones who are taking the message to the public.
Dr. Sudath: Then, that emotion won’t serve any purpose. We have been taking all necessary preventive measures to control the spread of the UK variant in the country.
Journalist: Now it’s too late to close the stable doors as the horse has bolted...

Hats off to the journalist, it seems like Dr. Sudath is in denial. They don’t want to admit they made mistakes. I wonder where this Dr. Sudath got his credentials to be a epidemiologist, May be he got it from a mail order catalog.
