Covid loves complacency.

Hold on to your hats people, here we go again. Cases are climbing again especially in the UK. Hospitalisations are also rising here again . So cue the restrictions and the mandate crowd including the certain few from Boards. RTE i’m sure are sharpening their pencils as we speak.

As always, the two fingers 😆

Add an ageing society that between February and March this year all of a sudden got very old and frail, and you have your explanation. It is all due to natural causes of course and thus a deep and thorough investigation by the experts is not required.

For someone that posts here almost every day, you're not getting over it all that well.

Why? Because I’m critical and like calling out the usual bollocks and did you not get the sarcasm in my post ? I’ts the covid forum. I’m guessing that you’d like less criticism about the doom the media and social media platforms love to hype up feeding the already anxious people who are afraid to go outside? A fully vaccinated neighbour in her 70’s was afraid to go to her doctors appointment yesterday after watching prime time on RTE. Thankfully her family talked her into going because she is some discomfort. Are you ok about that or do you think that she should have stayed at home?

My own parents are now getting out and about again after 2 years that i am glad to see. I just hope the that with the upcoming increase in cases the media doesn’t set them back.

People like you need to understand restrictions are over and are not coming back. We have to live with it now whether some like it or not. The pandemic is over in that sense. I hilariously was reading a post on twitter of some guy who claimed he was privileged to walk through Heathrow wearing a mask like he was some sort of hero in a cape lol. I have nothing against masks but the obsession is a bit much.

The WHO are a funny bunch. I don’t think they know what they are talking about half the time or they are confused. One hand they are saying that spread should be “ reigned in” and then they are saying “ go live your life” in the same sentence.

Give over. You have been crying over your little keyboard about life going back to normal for sometime now. Do you think your “concern” justifies someone avoiding a doctor for other potentially serious issues? I’m willing to bet Primetime went out to find the most seriously affected person by Long covid to make their show. You ok with that?

What do you do with your time seeing you are on the forum yourself. A bit hypocritical.

Yes i have moved on. My life outside this forum is completely normal now however i will call out bullshit wherever i see fit. It’s the very reason i’m calling it out because i have moved on.

Moved on as along with the first booster the vast majority of them have also had covid. Unless they got a very bad dose the fear factor is gone.

Many have had covid during the summer wave. They have to wait 4 months before getting booster.

New booster? How do you mean?

..

• Omicron-adapted monovalent candidate given as a fourth booster dose elicited a 13.5 and 19.6-fold increase in neutralizing geometric titers against Omicron BA.1 at 30 µg and 60 µg dose levels; bivalent vaccine candidate exhibited a 9.1 and 10.9-fold increase against Omicron

there was a clinical trial with 500 I believe for Pfizer and 600 for moderna comparing the 4th dose. That trial is at publishing stage now (for us to see), but FDA/EMA have all information

Are we at the start of another wave? I know loads of people infected at the moment.
