Fergal Bowers reporting that they are worried about Autumn /Winter and that vaccines may not stop tranmission. Govt also saying that unless social distancing maintained at that time that the Health service could be overwhelmed with covid and other respiratory conditions!!!
Are these guys for real????
Even Fergal Bowers looked exasperated with what he was reading.

We usually get some sense from Cillian de Gascun also.

People actually thought this was going to be the end

We will be in a lockdown every dec / jan

Vaccines significantly reduce transmission. Can we put that one in the bin now?

Indeed -

21 December 2022 - Public Health Ireland are highly concerned with the winter respiratory virus and the potential impact on hospital services. The Government agrees with their recommendation to move to Level 6 until 5 February.

It's 9pm in Ireland.

I wonder which news eh!?

Like whoring

For some years now we've all had access to many digital channels for TV and Radio. On TV alone at 9 there were 4 news channels available for free, plus some others on paid services RTE is such a pariah here it wouldn't be the first to mind any more.

As for likes, who gives a toss about them?

You asked a vague question. Just accept that.

Not about the game here, no - but he did mention that tiger was driving on the sauce again. It was an informal sort of presser, this one.

Was he on the sauce do they know?(slightly off topic I know)

That was something about the fact that they said they don't know if vaccination prevents transmission or not .
So relaxation of restrictions like social distancing may lead to transmission of Covid and also we would have normal respiratory illnesses circulating more than this year , like flu .
However this does not take into account the fact that the population will be vaccinated , and hopefully there will boosters as well being given , for variants , if not just for enhancing immunity .
I would be interested to see the full context of that ' paragraph' . Maybe Ferghal is stirring .

If there was an All Ireland for the number of profanities used
in posts since the beginning of covid he would run away with

No. Sorry sunshine, You seem to care. I don't. I replied because you replied with a dig rather than simply explaining yourself. It would have been so much simpler.

The health service gets overwhelmed every winter. The question is, will we carry on as normal next winter with a trolley crises and workplaces full to the gills with people coughing and choking over each other. If the answer is no then that means restrictions.

This is a seriously concerning window into their thought process

So if we get rid of Covid we will just lockdown for the flu going forward???

Not stirring, its in the document, however its all talking about we don't know x, y & z about the impact of vaccination.

However that will quite possibly be redundant soon as more is coming clear about vaccination and the reduced transmission

If " it's never going to end " means we will always have Covid , I think that may be so unfortunately.
But hopefully it will be controllable through vaccination and we can be getting back to normal otherwise .

Preliminary info looks very good. It will be a few more weeks before it can be confirmed. I'm sure that paragraph in the plan will be updated then.

I think EVERYONE, including NPHET, got a right land at what happened at Christmas

I think NPHET modelled at worst 400 cases a day in early January and it was nearly 20 times that at the peak

So now they are being ultra cautious with currently unknown scenarios such as next winter
