"Nobody cares about Covid anymore"

They were overwhelmed before COVID.

Well done!

Pretty much all incorrect.

Since the virus spread chiefly via close contact, naturally masks, social distancing and lockdowns reduced that (big drop in cases whenever temp lockdowns were introduced). Likewise we had the same measures with the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic. Around 8,000 people in Ireland died as a result of Covid, would have been many more if not for the measures.

In Sweden they took a famously relaxed approach to measures which resulted in proportionally much higher deaths than their closest socio-economic neighbours.

Despite the facts, it's unsurprising to see people still peddling this anti-science and Covid denial stuff

"Nobody cares about Covid anymore"

The revisionists do, they are feverishly revising the pandemic on the internet to suit their anti-whatever agendas.

I always felt lockdown and travel restriction policies were much worse than the Covid itself ... I remember when it first hit ... the whole country was tuning into media listening to the panic ... regions locked down in Italy, apartments locked down in Spain ... and so on ... then the dreaded first case here ... then the media questioning the government and everyone wanting 'action to be taken' and willing to trade away their freedoms ... eventually the dreaded 2km rule came after a series of lockdown measures on 27th March 2020 ...

2-5 KM rules last for months on end in Ireland ... people angry, frustrated, hopeless ... extremist groups trying to take advantage ... a dominance of pro-lockdown entities at NPHET ... a lack of trust between government and people ... incl people who were not the usual knock the govt for the sake of it brigade but people who voted for Varadkar et al ...

I remember the snide putdowns of the Czech medical professional on Primetime by some NPHET guy when the Czech gentleman said Covid could be managed by wearing masks and other such things ... and the NPHET u-turn on masks .... at first when masks were suggested as an alt to lockdowns NPHET said they provided no protection ... only to later say they did and built a policy around their usage in place of lockdowns ... I remember the complete lack of serious opposition to lockdowns and stay at home orders ...

We are aware that inflation, debt and damaged economies are the result of lockdown policies ... and some very evil government came into power in Russia during that time too ... it is very different to what was there before and has lead to this stupid war in Ukraine fought in part because conspiracy theorists have taken over Russia's government 100% during the pandemic ... on the positive side .. Covid may have halted Trump's election victory and his agenda and stopped Trump's Iran war plan ...

Now we here in Ireland do need proper investigations .... we need a plan not panic reactions ... we need to treat pandemics as that and not a national emergency akin to a war as we have seen ...

In conclusion ... I am just recovering from a mild bout of Covid at present ... I tested positive last week and have had a headcold and runny nose type common cold symptoms .... I feel that this is the future for most people regarding experiencing Covid 19 ...

So despite having no restrictions The Swedish death rate never rose above 1 per 100,000 and dropped to almost zero after a couple of months?

Your ‘gotcha graph’ actually proves the opposite of what you’re trying to prove.

Think your post is not the gotcha you think , or maybe you are just gaslighting ?

Over 4 times the death rate of their neighbours on that first wave alone .

Yes it did taper down eventually months after the other countries , and following that disastrous start Sweden did bring in restrictions in Dec 2020 .

But this has been discussed before , in detail on the Sweden Avoiding lockdown thread .

Well no its not like any of those.

Those are things that are good and beneficial for kids.

Putting maks on kids was in no way beneficial for them.

Try again.
