    I don't see any mention of the single dose Janssen vaccine that's available from today. Is anyone going to register today for it?

    Those are levels of restrictions we can only dream about here.

    Yeah, not allowed out of your house between 11 pm and 5 am. The dream.

    Did you do it through a phone call? The pharmacy lists on the vaccine portal only give an option to call.

    What would you be doing in Ireland between those hours with every form of entertainment closed?

    Did it online when they still had it up. They've taken it down since then

    Nothing is open after 11am here anyway. At least people can sit in cafes and restaurants during the day and enjoy a level of normality that we are a long way from here.

    Some people are actually not going to recover at all from this! Look at the replies to this tweet.
    ‘We’re not setting people free, we’re setting covid free’

    On a positive note Covid hospital numbers in England are one tenth they were in December when new case numbers were the same, clearly vaccines working and working well.
    Professor Powis said there are "far fewer" patients in hospital compared to the winter and spring of last year.

    He said there were about 23,000 COVID cases a day in mid-December – which is "pretty similar" to now in England – and about 15,000 people in hospital.

    But today there are about 1,700 people in hospital, which is "almost 10 times less", he added.

    When this is said and done Covid will have done more damage to people's mental health than anyone could imagine. People are still walking around others on footpaths ffs like it's Ebola on steroids.

    Make no mistake Covid was a windfall for doom mongers and the media and they are finding it almost impossible to let go. It's beyond sad really.

    I'm not happy but ICU in Portugal is at 55% of the critical level now. If it increases as it is for 3 weeks ICU capacity will be breached. Once again hopefully not.

    Pubs and restaurants may support the vaccine pass in return for distancing being abolished for the vaccinated. Makes sense.

    The pubs/restaurants really need to get new representatives.

    The arrogant disregard for public health displayed is crigny and downright dangerous.

    I do not trust them one bit.

    If everyone granted entry is fully vaciinated or has a recent negative test, where is the danger? It will have to be done sometime. A lot of these business will not be viable without a certain number of people allowed on the premesis.

    Seems like a resonable request to me. As long as it is monitored. although i suspect by the time anything is put in place vaccinaation levels will be such that it is not necessary. due to heel dragging form the government.

    I can see where they are coming from and totally understand that they need to get people back in but it will be a free for all and they will let everyone in. There are pubs at it already.

    All well and good but what about people who simply are unable to access a vaccine or only have 1 dose ?

    Vaccine passes will be available for the partially-vaccinated, as far as I am aware.

    He didn't say that and you know that,he was asking a genuine question but here you are again obsessing with said poster,its really sad at this stage. You were fairly quite when he was first to call it that indoor hospitality would not open today

    Is that the level of begrudgery you have to get to, that you mock even someone taking minimal precautions for their own reasons and business? Are you equating social distancing with mental illness?

    There is reasonable and there's extreme. It's not untrue to say that some may not recover mentally from this and it's also not surprising that others with lower perceptions of risk to get quite annoyed at their stance.

    Its complete idle speculation to say people won't recover mentally. Reminds me of all the doom mongers in this thread claiming there was a suicide epidemic with zero evidence to back up their rubbish. The people getting annoyed at how others choose to behave during the pandemic need to get a grip and mind their own business.

    Having witnessed it first hand in the family I'd disagree and some of the older members will take a very long time to recover if at all. Yes the business minding goes both ways.

    Well for one it is endangering their staff if they aren't fully vaccinated by the time they can do this. Something people seem to keep ignoring as an issue. Pints don't pour themselves.
