What's his background? I remember seeing some of his tweets before he protected his timeline.

He was originally a cheer leader for the government.... And they he was outed as a scammer and possible creepy guy that was DMing women for money?

Claire Byrne (who's 45) dropped a comment during the discussion on vaccine passports that people of her age won't expect to be vaccinated by the end of the summer.

questionmark?

Wasn't he outed by former Soc Dem GE candidate Linda Hayden who was then caught out a few weeks later with Racist tweets she had made. Twitter is a cesspit at times!

The entire show was awash with misinformation.

Lowest hospital number in six and a half months from what I can see (8th October 2020)

Only going one way

I do see now the page I was looking at says 11:30am for the ICU figure but no mention of a time for the "in hospital" number that I can see, I thought it was "live". Sorry for questioning your numbers but a drop like that had me looking where I knew to and then I had to ask!

It's the twilight zone, RTE has been hosting one or two positive articles lately... however the Indo will say we're on a "precarious knife edge" :rolleyes:

No surprise there, and one of their main headlines on RTE.ie Sunday morning was about the increase in hospitals.

Boris seems to know what's what.

Boris Johnson allegedly told aides in Downing Street he would rather let coronavirus “rip” than impose a second lockdown because of the economic harm further restrictions would cause.

he once once called the London assembly members

great, supine, protoplasmic invertebrate jellies

I think he had Michael Martin in mind :pac:

anyway all hail Boris, cometh the hour cometh the man and all that...

Didn't understand the logic of their excitement to be honest.

Agree, while its good to get another player in the market with the age restrictions it doesn't really warrant any major celebration.
In saying that the fact it will be a while before we vaccinate under 50s it is still welcome news. New studies may have been released by the time people in their 40s are ready.

its amazing how many people come into a country which has had a severe lockdown for four months and expect the rules to be waived

Can someone please answer me if we are still in Level 5 (with the zoos and golf open)???

I am on a contract that will not open and that I cannot return to during Level 5. So what the fcuk level are we in now as my job is still on hold? Are we maintaining Level 5 all Summer with a few tweaks here and there? What is the plan?

Woohoo! Registered for the vaccine this morning - don't know how long the list will be, but it feels like progress at last

(Registration is now open for anyone who is or will be 60 this year, as well as people up to age 69)

I believe there's a small bit of leeway if your 60 for example in the next month or so but anyone who's 60 later this year will be in with the 59 year old group.

Father is 65 registered Monday week when they opened and not heard anything yet so you'll probably have a little bit of a wait but alot depends on the local MVC, supplies, area demographics etc

I asked the HSE about this, and was told that anyone who is or will be 60 this year can register as a 60 yr old. The registration process only asks for year of birth to begin with.

And I happen to be in the exact category you mentioned - not 60 till near end of year.

Interesting I got a different response as we asked regarding my mother as we were told nope, would be some small leeway but not by more than a month or so. (HSE live)

They won't be moving onto 59 year olds for a while yet as it's all done by age. You could have a bit of a wait yet.
