Covid 19 Part XXXV-956,720 ROI (5,952 deaths) 452,946 NI (3,002 deaths) (08/01) Read OP

Hi mate

I actually can’t remember how it works now.

most of us took the plunge quite a while back.

Enjoy!

Apologies I did start deflecting.

I'm standing by my original comment.

Young, healthy and unvaccinated are at less risk than older, unhealthy and vaccinated, of which obesity and related illnesses are the primary risk factors

That data is in the HSE report that runs from June to November

80% of ICU admission have underlying illnesses.

Only 26% of admissions to ICU were under 45, but for month's during that time that age group was unvaccinated, and during that time they accounted overwhelmingly for the positive cases per head of population (forget the figures now).

They older age groups were-mostly vaccinated, had less positive cases (per head of population) but accounted for 75% of ICU admissions

The problem lies with the unhealthy and unvaccinated, next up is the unhealthy and vaccinated, and lastly is the young,healthy and unvaccinated. In that order

I often wonder for whatever reason, people who would know they are at risk from Covid but didn't get vaccinated , why?

Is there illnesses that mean people dont get vaccinated? Certain cancer? Chemo?

Have to say, its not often my jaw falls but I heard this on the radio earlier and almost collapsed into laughter!

This is the CMO......Our "Top Doc"... and this is what he comes out with?????

So this apparently highly educated man who has a serious position of power in the country has proclaimed that people in Ireland are showing signs of Covid.

Such as sneezing, sore throat, feeling unwell, fatigue etc etc.

In IRELAND....In fukcing NOVEMBER. The dampest, most miserable weathered country in the whole of Europe and in general the most miserable Western Europe has to offer.

This is our CMO!! Chap must have been living a pretty sheltered life up until Covid. The absolute sham has never heard of a common cold....the misery of every single Irish person for decades that flat 7-up and a dose of Lemsip have been treating for donkies. Sneezes and a sore throat ffs. Christ almighty, I've had years pre covid that I'd catch a dose in november and not shake it properly till spring.

But I think he's not as foolish as the quote seems, look how its worded "shows signs of Covid" . If it was covid, it would be covid. He's fouling the ball imo. If people can't see this for what it is, more fool them.

I don't think you know what "highest risk factor" means 😅 I understand that you believe being unvaccinated is a risk, but it's a miniscule risk in comparison to, e.g., having prior respiratory illness, or being 90, or having immune issues, etc.

Any reaction’s to it?

I’m quite anxious about it actually. A lot of the reasons for getting don’t actually make sense to me, doesn’t stop you getting it, doesn’t stop you getting sick, doesn’t stop the spread.

The main, and probably only reason I’m getting it, if I get it at all, is to be able to do certain things like go for a meal, cinema, a drink, a trip away etc.

A lad in the friend group is unvaccinated, for whatever reason, not my business.

However, every invitation to interact is declined; 5 a side of a monday, outdoor pints socially distanced (summer 2020), and even just a jog around the park; at the end of the road.

He was a man who liked his pints in fairness, but he was knocked back the one time we manged to get him out from the local (fair play to them for following the rules).

The man has not left the house other than when he was at Cheltenham 2020, as he is not allowed in anywhere; he would have socialised these days.

However, if i as to listen to the daily news cartel, this fellow single-handedly caused 118 people to be in ICU this evening.

Where exactly are the unvaccinated cases coming from?

Look, the Vaccine isn’t a silver bullet but definitely gave me peace of mind. What’s the alternative now anyways apart from getting a potentially worse dose of Covid. We’re all gonna get it, might as well train the body to deal with it.

I personally had no side effects getting the Vaccine and I had some concerns with some health issues I have.

And yeah, like it or lump it… meals, drinks or trips away aren’t as easy as they once were.

I’m on my holidays next week actually and won’t give Covid a second thought.

"Where exactly are the unvaccinated cases coming from?" <--- This 100%.

Again, we are told the unvaccinated account for 40% of ICU occupancy; this is a spectacularly high number. Can someone provide a link from our Irish public health team that explain where these cases come from?

(I'm sure many here can provide opinion but I want to know if there's ever been any official explanation.)

It's the worst set for a daily poll.

It's a self selected group of covid worriers.

Sure then in would be 6 out of 6 ha

I personally know two people with cancer and on chemo who were advised by gp and cancer doctor to get the vaccine asap as they are extra vulnerable. I assume this is standard medical advice.

You know there was a midnight curfew in the hope they could close on their own accord. Then the government aren't obliged to provide any financial relief. But hey, keep pretending what you want . The science yeah .

Same poster is all for going down the Austrian route here in this country, it's best to ignore loons like this, let them rant and rave all they want, just sit back and laugh 🤣

Too much facts I suppose. Our health system is in permanent crisis for the last decade if not longer. Patients on trolleys and articles about health system imminent collapse every winter when flus season starts. Winter vomiting bug visitors closures etc...

Obesity is a factor but from personal experience of being as vulnerable as they come plus bit overweight on top of other serious ailments and having experienced covid two times already I would say people really need to start focusing on other, more important things in life.

It could be the other way around actually. Stupid people usually think they are the clever one and everyone else is stupid...
