It’s becoming widespread again and the whole country isn’t in lockdown. Seems like it’ll only go one way for the time being.

The rules are clearly not being followed by Young and old. I see teenagers congregate together anytime I go into town. Just now I’ve seen a big group of people protesting together in Dublin with no ppe.

Nursing homes and hospitals have upped their game and have the equipment they need to prevent spread, the deaths from the first few months are simply not going to happen.

It was an anti mandatory mask protest what did you expect.

Didn't work out well for this masker..

I think it won't be much longer before the majority of the population move towards not giving a fúck about 'lockdown' associated intiatives. A few of us said a long time back that eventually society will get tired of it, and I think I recall politicians saying pretty much the same thing at the outset.

The increasingly ridiculous and contradictory rules are only bringing the death knell of society compliance nearer imo.

Perhaps it is inevitable. Like a cruise ship, whoever's gonna get it will eventually get it and it's just one long drawn out experiment. That's not to say that the vulnerable should not be protected.

A lot already are.
Some didnt obey by the rules from day one.Anyone that thinks their was 100% compliance is deluding themselves.
That's why I am aghast every time I hear a politician say flattening the curve was down to the efforts of everyone.

Not going to be specific here but observing the majority of people's behaviour in just about every county you'd think their wasn't an ongoing Pandemic.

Complacency and general "ah Feck it it'll be grand" has set in

Yes going by the deaths alone the past couple of months that side of things has drastically improved it seems which is fantastic. Awful to have so many elderly die before it happened.

There's going to be a few hundred thousand of them congregating in large groups in poorly ventilated indoor spaces from next week.

It's a masterplan to spread the virus and get herd immunity across the board in this country, about time we took this approach.

Their have alraedy been positive cases in a number of Nursing homes in the last 2 weeks. With numbers increasing thats going to increase/ Most public health experts acknowledge that shielding the people who are vulnerable to a serious illness its not possible.

Would love to know when those two people died.

Hardly anyone is dying in Ireland anymore so that's great, and I believe this is the case across Europe too.

From my own experience I know quite a few people who have gotten it in a range of age groups and they are all fine, recovered 100%. So I am still sceptical about the long term effects of this, at least in Ireland.

Ironically in the picture you’ve posted I see at least 5 with their face covered/mask.
So one would have to question the actual authenticity of the protest.

Do you or anyone know the death figures for people in Ireland due to Covid below the age of let’s say 40?

We are watching herd immunity right now. High new cases, mainly below 50’s and very low deaths.

Reason being is below 50 you are much lesser vulnerable. Better off getting it and being done with it imo.

There was one death in a nursing home in Wexford in the past couple of days. All residents and staff have been tested, the home is still waiting on a lot of test results.

A lot of people aren't going to be better off though that's the thing isn't it.

I do agree with you though that they have made the herd immunity decision and are going for it.

From a 10th July press release it was 3 deaths from people between 25-44 who had no underlying conditions and 14 in this age group who had underlying conditions...

Herd immunity, for every 32 thousand people in the country today 1 of them got a positive test. How in the name of Jesus do you come to that conclusion or are you taking the piss.

So nearly 80% of deaths are over the age of 75. Sure you cant sell a vacine like that. So go the long term damage route i suppose . Good link though

We are a very long way off from herd immunity. The vaccine will be available long before herd immunity is reached.

I would honestly question these long term effects. Unfortunately people (under 50) with underlying conditions may have long term effects but I do feel it will be rare.

I myself have had the virus as have 5/6 of my friends. We are all absolutely fine and we are no means athletes.

Ultimately, I think we as a country have found a balance. If we were to make the roads 100% safe there would be a 30kmph speed limit everywhere but that’s not reality. Likewise with locking the country down, it’s not reality we need to crack on and keep the economy moving.

Keep restrictions as is for now but gently reopen the country whilst focusing on protecting our over 60’s.

Why have a flu vaccine if that's the logic

owlbethere

The increase in cases, especially the small increases around the country outside of hotspots, coupled with complacency a week before going back to school will have us locked down again by October.

If community transmission remains as low as they say it is then there's no way we are locking down.

Just hang on for a few hours though, because I've got a babysitter for the first time since February and I'm going for a few substantial meals.

You passed yourself fully fit after getting a virus that's barely 8 months old. Long term effects might not become evident for years.

Have you had your lungs and heart checked?

Ok, but there's tons of evidence that suggests you're dead wrong about the long term effects.

But if you've got a few mates who've recovered fully I guess we can disregard it all and you can continue to not even read about it.

Will that actually help? Genuine question, I don't see how that changes anything. Surely forcing someone to sign a form in person is more effective

Anyone from Waterford able to confirm if the new cases are all from factories? Rumours of a lot of factory problems
