Any relation to Phillip ?

Chief Executive of The Health Products Regulatory Authority.

Don't know if she's any relation to Philip - but it is Ireland, so you can never rule it out.

I have a niece who is five and is terribly worried about Santa not being allowed travel.
It’s amazing how much info the little ones take in.

My nephew was sent home from school last week with a runny nose, he is a hardy little fella, I teach him boxing an Krav Maga, he has a great sunny outlook on life always smiling.

When the teacher phoned my sister she said my nephew had a runny nose , but he is in a state of panic, when my Sis got to the school, she had to calm him down but he wouldn't get into the car because "he thought he had covid and he would bring it home to Mammy and Daddy and his baby sister and they would all die. he's 8 years old.

Christ this thing is affecting us all across board.

Quite the revelation. Watch as the bloated and incompetent HSE will ensure Ireland is the slowest country in the EU to roll out the vaccine, hence such pre-emptory discourse.

Exactly. Similar to your recent prediction that that the Pandemic was over and restrictions would would be lifted in the next few weeks.

Any word from your Brother, the Scientist. I believe you were due to speak to him at the weekend about the new wonder drug Ivermectin.

We're on tenterhooks

I have been reading what you and some others have been posting about Ivermectin for the past couple of days .
A lot of the material you have posted is from Dr Paul Marik who has been including it among other drugs treating patients in some hospital Covid care centres in USA.
I note some of the other studies are in some badly hit countries like Brazil and India .
I am not convinced as you seem to be that it is as useful as he seems to think.
Ivermectin is an anti parasitic agent and while it may have some value in treatment of milder coronavirus affected hospitalised patients in conjunction with steroids and other drugs , it does not appear to have much effect in treatment on it's own standing , and in some of the studies patients suffered severe side effects like erosive esophagitis and gastric bleeding .
The studies done were either very small ( n 16 in 2 ) or larger studies of 346 which did not conclude any difference between Ivermectin combined with other treatments , as compared with the results from the placebo group .

The FCCC is not as it sounds , a regulatory group , but a group set up by Dr Marik to review Covid research and treatments , for use in some of the participating doctors centres , the Front Line Covid 19 Critical Care alliance , FLCCC Alliance .

It is very experimental stuff , not very well regarded by critical care doctors over here ( bit like hydroxychloroquine) but I don't know where your brother works but it's not being trialled here yet .

We'll find out soon enough cos Eagle gave the impression he'd have access to it very soon (as kids being sent back to school and allowed leave the bunker).
I bet he's on a farm with lots of cattle.

I took today off to do some shopping. I could not believe how busy the shops were. Mobbed. Galway.

Really because I'm in Galway currently and it was no busier than normal in the city for a Monday.

Nothing out of the ordinary

They love their ski holidays and usually drive to Austria. So probably not happy.

What do you mean by surface spread in this context?

You can see it here at exactly 36:30.
We've been told from the start that we have to wash our hands and not share cutlery or cup.
He takes a cup that has just been handled by someone esle and sticks it straight in his gob.

Exactly what we have been told not to do.

Yep, my partner was watching it with my 5 y/o daughter in the room and she got really excited, followed by a promise to be really really good over the next couple of weeks after it was pointed out that Tony said children had to behave.

It was completely set up for children who might be watching, and so all the networks can put it up online for parents to show them.

A lot of kids know who Tony Holohan is, or at least they know that he's the boss of the virus which is the case in my house.

Completely harmless.

Well aware what time it is.

Since early afternoon around 1pm and wasn't as you described.

But what I think is quiet you clearly think is rammed

I think the little ones are taking it in as they are watching it I don’t allow my children watch any of this stuff it’s bizarre.

Especially with the time of year it is.

niallo27 · 14-12-2020 09:40PM

Kids shouldn't know who Tony H is, kids shouldn't be watching him. It's bad enough we have to listen to him without terrifying kids as well.

Vicxas · 14-12-2020 09:56PM

People freaking out about this new strain and how it'll ruin the vaccine, despite people saying there's a very small chance it would.

Also the vaccines can be easily tweaked. People will literally doom and gloom just for the sake of it these days.

JDD · 14-12-2020 10:02PM

As far as I'm aware, my kids don't know who Tony is. We've switched from Radio Nova in the morning to Spotify so that the kids aren't subjected to the 8am news bulletins before school. I'm all for explaining the news and not letting their heads be buried in the sand - but kids hear things out of context and their imaginations run away with themselves. Bad enough they get all the covid rules in school - outside of school I keep covid talk to a minimum and radio and tv news off completely.

Good. That makes for 13 pairs of crucial weeks to look forward to. I tell ye it's fun and frolics all the way.

Outside of some of the media , who are these people freaking out?

Spanish Eyes · 14-12-2020 10:25PM

People are entitled to be freaked out a bit. There is little reassurance for the Pfizer sub 70d vaccine, and all the others. YET.

And now we have a mutation in SE England folks.

Another vaccine needed, need I say more. I know we have been reassured that the strain that will shut down London over Chrimbo and NY will be sorted with the current vaccines. And that is probably true, but people at this stage are quite jumpy.

yourdeadwright · 14-12-2020 10:27PM

Is there any facilities still open in Dublin for people to go to self isolate of they have covid

From what I've read the "mutation" being claimed in the UK isn't new at all and has been seen in multiple other countries.

There are a few media outlets over reacting but thats nothing new. Much like the mink strain a bit of research required to read past the headlines
