    I would add that we don’t know what the long term consequences to a child’s immune system would be if we were successful in suppressing viruses that cause respiratory disease. It could lead to weakened immune systems long term or more autoimmune conditions or maybe nothing.

    or me for asking you to tell me why I was out of my depth?

    Again, you don't seem to read the posts. I already posted in a fairly short post, that you were out of your depth stating your opinions as legal facts.

    It is in not straightforward, as you state it is, that kids forced to choose between wearing a face covering or receiving an education will stand in a court of law.

    I blame Social Media for this whole mess, I have no evidence or anything else to add… but I still blame Social Media for turning us into absolute reactionary freaks!

    Unfortunately Santa has been asked to limit his interactions and to work from home, so christmas is cancelled. Its the kids fault for not masking up quickly enough.

    Funny that you know what is in my posts if you skip past them .

    Have to admit I manage to catch up quickly after days often thread because I have quite a few time wasters on ignore too .

    You, I don't , because funnily enough I thought you were still threadbanned

    Remedying that now though, as can see you have not changed and your main modus operandi is to attack the poster rather than add anything to the discussion ,as above .

    Goodbye !

    Some students in Vietnam dying after vaccines. Seems to be three now. At least one was Pfizer. This is with a relatively low number of young people getting vaccinated so far.

    Is this happening in the likes of Ireland?

    14 pages since I last looked in here!


    we have pretty much decided to carry on as normal with kids socialising etc ( which isn’t much to be fair). The most vulnerable extended family member has just recovered from covid thanks to his vaccine so I think the rest of us have nothing much to fear. Public health need to manage the hospitals and that’s fair enough but for most healthy vaccinated folks really we shouldn’t be worrying too much about this anymore


    not impressed with the masks at school though. It’s not fair on kids.

    Is the onus on the airlines to do these checks?

    Or staff at Dublin airport?

    That Tweet is very disturbing.

    As I have said before, it's a lovely idea in a lab, where they are trying to prove something. In real life - that is 100% not realistic.

    We suppressed everything last year while trying to suppress Covid. The end result was a tsunami (because that'[s what it is!) of coughs, colds and doses going around now this Winter. So unless we are aiming to eliminate Covid completely, so all other viruses can go around and we can be sure they are not Covid, what she suggests is not workable, because the minute we start to mix again, these same doses go around. It's called life.For those of us who have smaller kids, if we were to follow that advice, they (and us) wouldn't leave the house from October to March, not even to go to school. Life doesn't work like that.

    We are reaching the point where life is becoming overly-medicalised now. Too much say from the medical profession. A similar thing can happen if Health and Safety have too much say, the measures to prevent whatever the issue is become overly onerous and start to interfere with people's lives.

    think it's airlines, could be both. they won't bother. there's no way they will be reading lab reports in foreign languages and checking the integrity of each test provider. maybe give it a quick glance for words NEGATIVE on sheet of paper and ensure it's within the 48hr period.

    Exactly gave a worldwide platform to a bunch of nutjob Americans. Then we have gullible fools here who have nothing better to do than sit on it all day and reshare it.

    Hopefully that fella who dragged the patient from the hospital in donegal gets jail, it might reel them in a bit. Although I see he was screaming the court down saying I don't recognise this court.

    They don't be long recognising the court when they want to bring challenges to covid laws in the courts though.

    Today is a sad day imho for our kids.

    Having to mask up now, and you wait til a few more weeks, and they'll have masks on the younger ones as well.

    Easy targets. But sure let the Aviva be full of people with hardly any mask wearing. And sure we'll sell 400,000 tickets for Crokernext year. How many of them will be wearing masks?

    Going to be interesting this morning, as I have just seen in a group chat that quite a few parents aren't sending their kids in with masks this morning. They are taking a stand. Will the school refuse them entry this week if they refuse to wear them?

    Easy targets i agree but both the Aviva and Croke Park are outdoors and typically filled with vaccinated people. Classrooms are closed venues. Perhaps a nightclub is a better analogy.

    Schools won’t refuse anyone this week anyway, despite the wants of some other teachers on the school thread.

    Another measure given to schools with less than 24 hours notice. Madness. I guess some principals will try to enforce it; I know locally in Dublin a lot won’t, they’ll use discretion. Feel sorry for principals, they shouldn’t have to play god here and decide who gets to go to school or not.

    I really don't understand what is going on in this country anymore... October 22nd should have went ahead.

    Why are we now bringing in more and more restrictions? Have we become obsessed with restrictions?

    It seems like we are now putting actions in place that we know won't help.

    It's a pity the next election is so far away. These fools need to go.

    NPHET are back in the ascendancy and despite lower hospitalisations and ICU numbers they will seek more and more controls.

    The media is encouraging them saying that the work at home restrictions are having no effect on the basis of traffic and Dublin City Centre footfall (nonsense for anyone who is back home working) - next thing they will want to do is have the Guards and Army on the street enforcing a lock down.

    Meanwhile people who want a PCR test cannot get one (seems to be an IT failure this am) and the booster programme is all over the place.

    The funny thing is that they are doing nothing.

    Look at England. No masks for months and the situation didn't deteriorate at all.

    If they were actually any use it would be simple to see in the data. It's not.

    We aren’t England though. Their gigantic infection levels and fatality rates meant they were in a different position in July. And no I wouldn’t swap with them.

    At the back of this is an obsessive fear of the health system collapsing, it won't. NPHET too seem to have convinced themselves their models are gospel, even if nobody else is. They do look like they are convinced that 400,000 cases are coming this month and that is where these well-considered pieces of advice are coming from.
