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

Because this virus is so transmissible, the majority of people in the country might be exposed to it over a relatively short period of time. When you have hundreds of thousands or millions of people, if even a tiny percentage of them get sick, then the hospitals will end up in dire straits. A tiny percentage of a large number is still significant.

Until when?

Looking at what has happened in South Africa and currently in the U.K., I’d say it is highly likely that Omicron will peak in Ireland in early January. This wave will be over much quicker than previous waves,

Well said that man.

The ugliness is septic, the lack of humanity for anything other than COVID startling to be honest. I’ve seen unvaccinated called rapists and the vaccinated people their victims in here from virtuos posters who try and claim anyone who questions anything is killing granny.

Covid will go, what’s left behind in how peoples minds became so warped will remain.

What’s happened in the U.K.?

Per capita yesterdays 7,333 cases here is the same as the UK’s 90,000

They've introduced Covid passes to go to the pub, we’re closing all of ours at 20:00.

Not sure what the comparison is you’re trying to make?

Looking at those queues 😂

Disgraceful, selfish people crowding together, could be looking at a superspreader event right there. I thought we were all worried about Omicron being 1009% more transmissible. Not that worried apparently.

But yeah, close the cinemas at 8. Danger.

It is bizarre what many people think the job of the government is. It is almost as if people treat the government as Ersatz-parents. It is not just Covid, it is absolutely every part of life. How many times do you hear the phrase, “the government must do more”

You didn’t say any of that in your OP.

And you’re missing the point that I made which is the U.K. still have the majority of services open and now require a Covid pass to use those services. We did what we were supposed to do and still have restrictions imposed. It’s laughable.

As for case numbers, ours included a 3000 backlog but the UK’s ‘may’ be much higher because cases go unreported. So we don’t have any unreported cases but the U.K. have 100% that go unreported.

If we stick to actual facts then yesterday the cases were comparable per capita but we’re back being restricted and they’ve just to take their pass to the pub. Not comparable at all!!!

As I say, snowflakes.

Even with restrictions people have a better lifestyle than 50 years ago when every one was emigrating.

Because NEPHT won't lift restrictions until they're on the road to zero covid. We had six months of lockdown at the start of this year so I'm being optimistic saying three months this time around.

You don’t think people will be mixing over Christmas? Omicron will spread over Christmas like wildfire (hopefully mild for 99.9% of people who get it). We will then peak in January. No need for extended lockdown. Just my own view

And acting as if there is a magic money tree with an endless supply of cash. It is quite juvenile

You didn’t say we did either, you said ours were so high because of backlog but the U.K. have 200,000 cases because half go unreported.

The rest of my post is easy to follow, yesterday we had a comparable case load per capita yet we’re going back into high restrictions with hospitality yet the U.K. have only now introduced Covid passes for hospitality.

Same position, vastly different measures. Plus they came completely out of restrictions 6 months ago, we still haven’t made it out of some form of restrictions.
