How many people in Ireland only have access to RTE in this day and age?

I would have thought that since the likes of the internet and saorview came along it's close to zero.

In fairness I did say "main (or only)" source. I presume in a lot of cases it would be the former rather than the latter. The point still stands though.

Babestation?

You might need to elaborate in that one so it's makes even a bit of sense.

They are telling us we need restrictions to protect the vulnerable but when the vulnerable are vaccinated what will they tell us we need them for

I'm sure others will have many more examples.

Just my 2c

Today's one was, "One in five people say they're unlikely to stick with the restrictions this Christmas".

Which means that 4 in 5 said they were likely to stick with the restrictions. But that doesn't get the blood all angried up.

One could ask what the difference is. And it's negativity. It disheartens people, it implies that you're the only gob****e trying to stick to the rules, and it's a waste of time, because nobody else is. It gets you angry about the people who don't care - that's the intention of writing it that way.

Reporting the positive slant does the opposite. It inspires, it encourages. It gives people hope that things can work out, that everyone is making an effort and your efforts are not in vain. It makes you hopeful about people and thankful that they're putting in an effort.

But happier people engage less. They spend less time doomscrolling, don't bother tuning into Claire Byrne Live and Primetime, and they don't respond to Tweets. So RTE (and the rest of the media) don't really want to get into that.

A Facebook group called ‘Alerting Parents of outbreaks in schools in Ireland’ has a few posts naming schools. As it is Facebook, I don’t want to be posting links, but that group is there is anyone wishes to look them up.

Yes, it names about ten schools in Co Galway with recent cases but its not apparent which has the mega outbreak that the Irish Mirror was referring to but not naming

What they mean by negative reporting is simply reporting. These people don’t believe in a pandemic, it’s all made up, to scare us sheeple.

We should hide under our beds when we’re not curtain twitching, because anything they disagree with is farcical scare mongering to stop them going for a few pints and what about mental health? All the suicides? All for a so called deadly virus with, yawn, a 99.6% survival rate, stick on Ivor Cummings he explains it all very clearly.

There's always fools.

I feel that they are already starting to move on to ‘long Covid’ as a reason to keep restrictions in place beyond the vaccination of the vulnerable

Then it will be ‘longer COVID’,‘extended Covid’,’12 inch Covid remix’and ‘covid’s greatest hits’😷

We have a virus which kills people, we have long covid. Any concerns about the potential for longer term consequences from this thing?

The International Military Games in Wuhan back in October 2019 are still a big source of interest.. has there been any follow up studies from this I wonder.

One person passing it on to ten work colleagues? That workplace needs to immediately reassess their practices.

Schools need to be reassessed first. The workplaces would stay clean and cases would lower if L5 hadn't kept them open and other innocent places shut

possible early cases... country of presumed origin
