Looks like we have our first vaccine out of the gates.

No.

There's either a translation problem somewhere there or a misunderstanding. That vaccine has just entered rolling review.

It hasn't completed clinical trials.

If the hospitals are overwhelmed with covid cases and someone needs treatment for an unrelated matter but can't get it in time, would it still be a case of hysteria

Shut down the world because of what ifs???

Have you or friends/family for it and how bad was it

I have 12 friends/family/co workers who have had confirmed cases and all of them were grand, all under 60, 8 who had sypmtions described it as a slight cold for 5 and 3 as a bad dose for a few days.

The hysteria around it is ridiculous!

I know someone who died in a nursing home, north of the border, back in the first wave and a couple of people who caught it, one is still ill months later.

Dublin has gone from 1st to 11th in terms of incidence rate per 100,000 over the last 14 days.

That's well and good, but their incidence rate isn't actually dropping in any meaningful way, it's that other counties are just surging ahead.

It might be funny if it weren't for the suffering of so many people at this time.

Or the suffering when we go oybo lockdown again.

Undiagnosed deaths, businesses bust. Families destroyed.

It annoys me that they can borrow restrictions from a higher level and still call it level 3 _ it gives the impression they don't know what they're doing

No impression about it, they don't have a notion what they're at and are making it up as they go along. The 5 level plan that was posted out should have come with blank squares, that way we could fill in the guidelines with pencil as they changed and rub them out when necessary.

Or that their close contacts are not deemed as such, and they are not testing them!
In society everyone is being told to get tested and that this is the only way to stamp out / control infection, but not so in the schools.

If they are not testing close contacts in school, despite a poster on here saying some classes have been sent home for testing etc...
Also if they were not testing close contacts, the positivity rate would be zero.

You mean an unelected cabal bouncing an elected government into a level 5 shutdown without any discussion or notice?

The government acted well, they have ratcheted up measures and people know they are likely to be lifted in certain areas.

Going to a national level 5 would have been unretractable..


A base level 3 and upping counties as necessary is the better way and the vast majority of non government haters understand that

I hope negative again

Were all 6 tests negative?

The covid test was negative.

They did multiple temperature readings, the first one was 38.1 (38 or above is a warning sign)

Did anothter temperature reading 2 minutes later and that was 37.3, took 5 ot 6 more over the next half an hour with proper thermonetners and not the forehead scanners and they were all in the 36 region.

Anaesethist and surgeons were annoyed it was cancelled and pushed for it to go ahead but was out of their control. Even rang my doctor to arrange the covid test and she agreed it was a false reading too

Annoying but it's the world we live in so nothing to be done

Hopefully get the all clear for my covid test tomorrow!

In fairness a lot of countries are making it up as they go along.
I have a mate in the Netherlands they had a level 1 to level 3...and had to add a level 4 at a later date

Four friends or neighbours had it. Two got it back in March/April. Both severely ill and in ICU. Aged 45 and 50ish. One is back at work and the other is still struggling to get back to her old self.

Two got it in the past month. Both over 75. One has only mild symptoms and the other has died.

This is neither hysteria nor ridiculous.

You can still do that.

It's not illegal.

Noone is gonna tar and feather you for visiting family at Christmas.

Everyone will do it regardless of the numbers.

Let's be honest.

Really everyone will do it? Will everyone with elderly or high risk relatives visit them? You can bet many people will be having a very lonely Christmas this year.

I read something on Facebook recently about all the things you can do with your kids to make Christmas special. It didn’t mention one thing about what people living alone whose family can’t visit can do to make it special.

Let’s say we lockdown now to save Christmas. Will realistically be 6 weeks before numbers are low enough for them to want to open up again. Your into December then. Are you really going to open up shops with 3 weeks to go until Christmas? All those queues etc and then let people go visit relatives in their homes. We could end up in same place by January again.

The ban on household visitations isn't pinned down by law. Continue as you were.

A return to the Iron Curtain.

So another rule (guideline) that is unenforceable and will do **** all, i give up.

thelad95

I am personally absolutely dreading both Christmas and New Year's not just in Ireland but globally it's going to be an absolute catastrophe for case numbers.

No. A household is a household.
