It's illegal to use the "green cert" for stuff like pubs and restaurants, the government found this out before when they tried to use the photo Dole card for passports and driving tests

It needs a vaccine pass to use public transport

Paul Reid has trousered more than a half-million euro of taxpayers' money since the pandemic began in Spring last year, and the HSE is overwhelmed with fifty Covid patients.

It's quite astonishing the Government seem content to leave him in charge of the HSE.

He wanted the job and him saying hospitals are full is really not new for him. He's more than once angled for more cash for the HSE since he got in. He's only been there since April 2019 BTW.

Good, suggests that they are still looking at September for office returns.

Interesting to see the courts in Portugal have decreased the "official" COVID death figures from 17,000 to 152.

Because you can't eat inside in a pub or restaurant??
I don't know about you but I'd consider that a strange hill to die on tbh.

How can you still not be getting that it's not about being able to eat inside a café?

I can just imagine you sitting in front of the television one night. In The Name of the Father is on. The film ends. Everyone is touched by the film. You are absolutely baffled.

"I don't understand Giuseppe Conlon's problem", you mewl, plaintively. "All that complaining just because he can't go out for a pint".

I absolutely get where you're coming from and agree that it's a hell of a lot more than simply not being able to eat or drink inside...

But that comparison was ****e.

It's not a trend, disturbing or not. If you post nonsense, contrary to science everywhere, it's not my opinion, you're simply wrong, and there's no arguing that masks are effective.

How come science never told us to wear masks to save people from other airborne respiratory viruses, like the flu??

Actual relaxation of restrictions have no place on this thread

ceadaoin.

2 counties in California have revised their death counts down by 22% and 25% respectively. It confirms that things like car accidents and shootings of people who happened to test positive were previously included in the covid death stats. Tip of the iceberg no doubt and if every county follows suit, it could see the US total deaths drop by a fair amount

Interesting to see this falsehood has made its way here too.

A bit of cop on wouldn’t go astray. 30 seconds on google identifies this as untrue.

Have you not being paying attention the last 10 days, delta only cares about hospitality, particularly pubs and other nightlife establishments.

The Irish delta (not to be confused with Indian delta) is particular lethal. Its going to wipe us all out despite there being no evidence of same from other countries with similar vaccination rates.

I'm sure everybody enjoys a nice trip to the bus as a social outlet.

Perhaps you don't remember but there was a time when public transport didnt have capacity limits (beyond what could actual fit onto the bus etc). Same way there was a time when i could bring my granny out for lunch in a building with a roof on it. Same way there was a time i could go to a concert and not be kept in a sheep pen.

Your continued denial that there has been and still are persistent interruptions to our normal way of life is as insane as people who deny that the virus exists at all.

Until EVERY last vestige of covid restrictions and rules are consigned to the dustbin, we've got a big f*cking problem so perhaps you should beg whoever it is that forces you to read this thread for mercy.

If Tony Holohan is really being paid excessive amounts for advice, it is unsurprising to me now why this has persisted in the way that it has.
