I hope you're wrong but you may not be. We're too slow, the vaccine to work needs to be rolled far faster. A race between new variants and the vaccines.

I hope so too, but I've been right so far, and I never wanted to be.
This time last year, myself and a sibling purchased a load of PP3 masks, and were laughed at by the shop assistant. We were stared out of it wearing our masks too.
We knew this was coming, others thought we were nuts. I've always thought that this would go crazy again during flu season (Oct to April) yet last year when I said that in the summer there were people on here telling me I was nuts.
I dunno, this whole covid thing just doesn't auger well at all, and the shambles that is the "response" from Ireland and the EU leaves me cold.
I'm utterly depressed with it at this stage, and I'd consider myself resilient and upbeat generally, but I don't know how much longer i can take the restrictions.

Is there a Cork variant?

Write off 2021? Maybe for you. Not for the vast majority of people.

Negativity is an awful thing. Stay positive.

Screamer is far too negative.

What he suggests will not come to pass. The virus is on its way out - slowly yes, but also surely.

The vaccines - plus any modified, future vaccine will be the fatal blow to this nefarious organism.

What he does have a right to be critical about, though, is the Irish Government - who are doing everything possible to assume that this infection is somehow the modern-day equivalent of the Black Death.

It isn't though, the Irish Government is wrong - but we should nonetheless remain hopeful that the last chapter of this awful saga has only just begun to be written.

That’s mature.

I wasn't making a joke of his death. I was hoping you'd google trench foot

nothing will be done, gardai too afraid of being accused of racism. Sickening when you think churches are closed epecially for christmas and now easter, the 2 biggest events in the catholic calendar. I'd be raging if i couldn't attend a loved ones funeral ora wedding and I see this crap.
BTW the 32 year old has the right to privacy as the other 27 who died today have along with their families. Have a bit of cop on and don't be asking if he/she had an underlying to prove a point ffs

The Brits get an awful lot of praise for rushing through vaccine approvals and buying more than their fair share.

They've been a complete shambles all year. They've cultivated their own variant ffs. And passed it on to us.

I've enormous sympathy for the British people. They've had a **** time and I'm glad things are looking up for them, but let's not forget so quickly that the liars they elected are hapless clowns.

I'm at a loss of how to account for the people of the UK for voting in these clowns, and even less so for their support in the polls.

Still, let's not blame anyone for the inevitable variants of the virus that arise.

Crap like that is why people are sick of it. Certain groups like above getting off with things others wouldn't cos they're a minority so the gardai are afraid of the sh1tstorm

I'm not blaming the British people. I don't blame the Brazilian people.
I blame their governments.

How about we call them the tory strain and the bolsonarflu respectively?

No thank God. Under control down to approx 20 cases per day.

That would be as ridiculous as Trump and the China Flu or the Kung Flu.

My local Tesco had to put a security guard on the entrance because people were ignoring the automated stop/go, nobody hand sanitises now either I notice, a lot of shops are allowing a far greater amount of people in. I would imagine that outbreaks will now start happening in the supermarkets. There is a general air of apathy setting in and I just can't see the schools staying open for long. I know this sounds very depressing and I can totally understand how a person's mental health will be impacted but I think there is some merit in having a far stricter lockdown for two weeks to kill transmission and hopefully make the schools far safer. The way things are at the moment it will just drag on and actually make things worse.

Call me a quack but I’m sceptical.

You'd swear from some of the nonsense being spouted here that the virus has only mutated a few times when in truth it has mutated many thousands of times.

Two weeks wouldn't be long enough.

Excuse me. If I was getting paid to post on here I'd at least make sure it was a worthwhile amount.

Wasn't the whole country shut down during Eid, and then completely opened up when we were in a worse state because people needed their meaningful Christmas?

Hence the terminology variant of concern.

The larger the reservoir of infection the more likely a variant will emerge. Every so often one of those will have to monitored carefully.

We reached peak gibberish when it was suggested Covid and Ebola might join and form a Super Duper virus.

Ah no. If we train it, it might lose its unique quirks

Nothing like a common advisory. I sense a boards plot to bring harmony to the forum. Hang on while I get my tin foil

Would you let the matter go? The joke was at you looking for a reason for a death. Have some respect.

I remember them celebrating that in Croke Park.

And even if so, still wouldn't be acceptable for the gardai to ignore that today. Fine them all the 100 and 500 for the organiser.

I don’t see someone’s death as a reason to joke.
