Northern Ireland have followed our policies to date. When we introduced measures, they followed. They will follow again. Scotland and Northern Ireland have already endorsed zero covid policy. Our restrictions etc. are similar/level of disease is similar. What have we to loose from zero covid policy? New Zealand failed they got 30 cases of community transmission to date in last week or so. I would take that level of failure every time. There is no point blaming on past events. We learn, we be pragmatic, we plan for the future.

Let's hope so.

Anecdotal reports of these people abound. At least seven elite college athletes
have developed myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle that can have severe consequences,
including sudden death. An Austrian doctor who treats scuba divers reported that six patients,
who had only mild covid-19 infections, seem to have significant and permanent lung damage.
Social media communities sprang up of people who are still suffering, months after they were
infected, with everything from chronic fatigue and “brain fog” to chest pain and recurrent fevers.

Now, data is coming in behind the anecdotes, and while it’s preliminary, it’s also “concerning,” says Clyde Yancy,
chief of cardiology at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine.
A recent study from Germany followed up with 100 recovered patients,
two-thirds of whom were never sick enough to be hospitalized.
Seventy-eight showed signs of cardiac involvement, and MRIs indicated
that 60 of them had ongoing cardiac inflammation,
even though it had been at least two months since their diagnosis.

Those patients would, on average, be much younger than the ones who are dying;
the median age in the German study was 49. These are patients with many years of life to lose,
either to disability or early death. And there are disturbing findings from much younger patients;
a study of 186 children who had MIS-C, the (thankfully rare) inflammatory syndrome
that can occur with pediatric covid-19, showed 15 had developed aneurysms of the coronary artery.
