Unbeknownst to us all: World peace if only we were all like Mary Harney

Mary Harney, the Minister and picture of Health, has, without so much as breaking sweat, solved the problem of MRSA in hospitals. It seems that the problem, unbeknownst to all experts, but, apparently staring all of them in the face, is people who visit sick people in hospitals.

Those dastardly visitors of sick and ailing relatives are, according to the Minister, and she would know, unhygienic and therefore the root of all MRSA evil in hospitals. Well, tie me kangaroo down sport.

Naturally this has all come as something as a shock to regular hospital visitors and the sick and ailing recipients of such visits. It goes without saying that this problem was unbeknownst to both visitors and visitees until Ms Harney so eloquently got on the ball. Indeed their collective flabbers were well and truly gasted at this massive revelation.

But, as with most things in life, one answer can lead to a thousand questions, and so it is with this latest missive from the Department of Health.

If the visitors are causing MRSA in hospitals, are they then becoming infected when they leave?

If infected, who is treating them?

If left untreated, are the infected going off to ditches to die like fatally injured dogs do in Meath?

When dead, are their corpses consumed by bone gnawing vermin like rats and badgers who then spread the MRSA bug into the eco-system with the potential to cause a extinction event to humainty in Co Meath?

Thank the lord Mary Harney has her finger on the pulse of the Health system.
