No he didn't, another thing you've made up.

Very very dangerous wording by Leo!! So it’s basically everyone’s fault that we can’t go ahead next week if Nphet say so! What a plank of a man

Yeah, I've said that before, and I've no issue with it. Going out in public when you're sick, coughing spluttering at your desk in work, sitting in the pub while you're clearly dying from a dose, should all be very unacceptable. Employers who insist you come in should be vilified, people who shrug it off seen as idiots.

But there is more to it than just "shun sick people". The social supports need to be there; mandatory sick pay, more availability of GPs, access to short-term childcare, etc etc. It's all well and good to say, "Stay at home when you're sick" when that's something anyone can do. But there are plenty of people who can't just fire off a text to their boss saying, "Not feeling well, won't be in", pull up the covers and stay put. Many people who still have to get up out of bed and get **** done one way or another.

No, he's basically saying, "If we can't go ahead next week, then blame the unvaccinated, it's their fault.

He's not entirely wrong. The unvaccinated can get fucked at this stage one way or another.

They can go get fûcked but it can’t be the stick that they beat the rest with!!

Well, when we had it - the HSE advice was two weeks after date of testing positive.

A classic boards covid meltdown. Haven’t seen one of these in a few months. Surely if Oct 22 is pushed back, that must be Christmas cancelled for 2021.

You have been played - that is the exact reaction they want. Don't blame the government, dont blame NPHET, dont blame the HSE or the pathetic healthcare system in this country, or the high levels of hospital acquired infections, no.. blame the <10% of adults who arent vaccinated, most of whom are under 30 and at minimal risk of hospitalisation! Those bloody bastards eh!

The reason they get away with postponing reopenings is because people like Seamus are all too happy to accept whatever excuse they come out with - the latest being the anti vaxxers are collapsing the health service or some such

NPHET, representing the woeful health service, mirrors our government. For too long the establishment (capital "S" State and all who work for her) have been creaming off the productive parts of the economy for themselves and we have ended up in this dreadful situation where the country is at a standstill on issues to do with housing and infrastructure, while it spins around in circles on matters relating to health and politics. Meanwhile, ordinary people try to just get on with their lives. It's gross incompetence on the part of successive FF and FG governments, which has lead to the current situation and I think we need to see them being called out for the way they are allowing this country to fall apart.

At the same time, Irish people are almost masochistic and very simple-minded when it comes to authority so I do not expect there to be much by way of complaints if the status quo with respect to covid restrictions gets retained for another few months. For those that are really suffering emotionally and financially from the whole thing, they have my sympathies as this is very much an artificial crisis at this stage and manufactured by our spineless politicians.

What is happening in the media and the online discourse it is creating is getting out of hand.

We need proper, open and full statistics of what is happening in Irish hospitals.

Not this **% since April first.

Daily or at least weekly figures on vaccination status both admissions and discharges.

Information on whether admission is due to covid or if covid is in addition to another condition.

Length of stay in hospital or icu

Checking vaccination status of cases reported.

Vaccination status of weekly deaths.

Whether deaths are because of covid or with covid.

If we don't start getting open information soon, then we are heading down a very dark path. Already there are some who are just a hairs breath from demanding special camps - both on here and in the Irish media

Sounds like a New Worid Order

best I thought was Razor Ramon
