Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

In real terms Hospitality getting a pittance and staff feck all , Pantos on for a few weeks a years getting 100's of thousands thrown at them, if I recall Alan Hughes Husband angered last year at having to justify €400k in grant supports last year.

We're all in this together if your a Luvvie it seems 🙄

You Are completely correct , it was radio gold , arrogant , self entitled prick so to speak 😁

How about people stop going for PCR tests? What's the point in them, other than being used to scare people? Philip Nolan saying his modeling saying 8000 cases a day. So **** what? Everything on rte this evening sensationalizing and ramping up the fear. Listen to MM this evening bigger greater scarier Omicron. Why are people scared of a new variant, it's what always happens with viruses. If viruses didn't mutate, life would cease to exist. It's the natural way of things. We really need smarter people to be our betters, before people start to lose it. Have a good weekend lads. I sure will

It's all terrible advice.

They're destroying society, one incompetent decision after another!

I'm up for a booster shortly but debating it because well, what's the point?

MM mentioned in his speech I believe that everyone should get vaccinated and then get boosted.

But for what?

Hospitalisations are down but restrictions are up.

Yes, the vaccine was there to stop hospitalisations, severe illnesses and they're working but what other vaccine in the world still has massively high restrictions, social distancing, hospitality closing, mental health at an all time low, people losing jobs, etc. People are stilll dying from covid.

Variants change I understand that but this vaccine costs billions and billions of euro and we'll be forever indebted to it.

If the vaccine was so good and we're paying billions and billions for it, why are we still in this mess?

"Science"

There is a significant time delay from cases to hospitalisations. You need only look at the UK to see what Omicron is doing in terms of record breaking spread, despite high vaccination rates. If you wait until the hospitals are overloaded, it is far, far too late to fix things.

The vaccine is fantastic. Never before have humans managed such a quick turnaround for a vaccine, and on top of that, members of the coronavirus family do not have the most successful history in terms of vaccine development. However, many countries have low vaccination rates, hence the spread is still high, then you get new variants with a chance of vaccine evasion. If the entire world was 90%+ vaccinated, it would be extremely difficult to get new variants, as the virus doesn't have enough people without immunity to burn through.

Tony not too bothered about the time

Thanks for the reply.

Our hospitals are always overloaded though, what has been done to improve that?

Spoofers and **** charlatans, if NPHET is to remain then everyone attached now needs the boot - especially Tony. Enough is enough

We could be in for an extremely serious few weeks if the Gulf Stream does a wobble,or a Volcano in North Wales erupts...that's about the logic of this Fear peddling.

This viewpoint would really be best-served by making up a sandwich board,painting the front message "HERE COMES COVID" and the rear facing one "THERE GOES COVID" and cycling around one's parish ringing a bell. (Apologies to Oliver J Flanagan Supporters everywhere)

If Countries and their peoples are to ever regain the right to freely exist,which has so easily been taken from them under the guise of various pieces of "Emergency Legislation",then NOW is the time to push back against the lunatic fringe !

Anyone know What time is the usual media questioning of the 3 “leader” on at? It’s usually on RTE NEWS channel after the announcement

That's his ego talking ...he's hardly gonna admit..he wanted 5pm and lost ...its like watching Mean Girls..rule our lives..

I spend all day and night in the same 4 walls mainly as there is very little open or to do and the WFH mandate so I like getting out and having somewhat of a social life. I don't like it being me and my wife forever in the house with nothing else to do cause its all cancelled.
