    Amazing that it took a year for them to introduce pre flight test. Slowly getting there.
    Maybe by the end of next year we'll introduce quarantine so kids can go to school and hospitals can function.

    I feel like I'm going insane..

    It's been the biggest repeated mistake since the beginning of the pandemic. Living with covid is simply not possible if there is no control of travel.

    If they had just done that, a lot of the other measures would not have been necessary.

    NHPET obviously knew we have a country with a a load of selfish morons who were gonna rip the piss at Xmas.

    Government were naive for thinking the people are good girls and boys and could be trusted.

    Lesson learned I hope. Can see level 5 lasting months as the government won't be seen to make that mistake again.

    Given how bad we let things get it'll take quite some time before cases drop and even longer for hospitalisation.

    The curve does not just fall like a steep cliff.

    I think you are. Going to be a slow process/long haul to get numbers down.

    We're the 2nd highest in the EU.

    Britain started vaccinating a month ago as they passed the vaccine safe before anyone else.

    Think figures are only weekly for time being but will be daily in a few weeks. Would assume ore have been vaccinated since but not officially confirmed yet of course.

    Thanks, I needed a good laugh this morning.

    I guess then you are laughing in the face of Biden and Bernie Sanders, the former who is implementing that stimulus package, and the latter who backed it?

    But no Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael know better? Workers need to shut up and be told what's best for them?

    The amount of deep brainwashing some posters are under is sad. It's the kind of mentality that allows you to believe the government that schools are/were safe.

    Gob****es.

    And shows its not a minority ruining it for everyone else.

    It's a sizeable portion of people.

    In fairness, you have to blame this shambles of a government that appears clueless.

    Let's not forget, Kids are supposed to be at school right now had they gotten their way.

    No, do you really think we've vaccinated nobody new between today and yesterday?

    Oh I know that.

    Never got the weird obsession of blaming the schools over and over when the experts told us they were safe, not totally safe, but safe.

    We were told they were lying to us!!

    Sigh.

    No change on it but "Vaccine figures are provided by HSE and will be regularly updated" is what the hub says.

    I remember back in December, I was watching an interview with some doctor. I can't remember if it was from the UK, US or here. But he said if people don't adhere to guidance during Christmas, we'll be burying a lot of people in January who we were celebrating Christmas with in December.

    It always struck me as a stark analysis of the situation and yet here we are and he was 100% correct.

    I also blame the people.

    Lot of selfish morons going about spreading it carelessly.

    The government didn't infect 50,000 people over Xmas with covid 19.

    Level 5 won’t be lifted until we get at least down to 100 cases a day, whether that takes a month or 6 months.

    Our government are the only people who actually believed that people flying into the country within the two weeks before Christmas would be self isolating in their bedrooms in the run up to and on Christmas day

    But their apologists will ramble on and continue to make every excuse for their repeated disasterous incompetence in managing this public health crisis

    Yes and no. They have ramped up various sections of testing that were suspended during to shortages of capacity.

    The highs were hidden by lack of testing of close contacts and lack of mass testing in risky settings.

    Testing for close contacts in the medical field and mass testing in risky settings have resumed.

    They are not open because there is so much community spread. You can't have 1m+ people moving around and with COVID positivity rates of 20%.

    Any Irish government would have done the same - that's the truth of it.

    Our national character is coming back to bite us. This time there's a virus which means we get punished for a nod and a wink approach to rules.

    The government is pushing out rules left right and centre, and there is little to no enforcement. I don't know what the guards are doing up the Wicklow mountains stopping people going for a walk when there's 54,000 people coming through the airports not quarantining, there was lots of pubs taking the p**s about the food rules, and there was blatant disregard for the household mixing rules. Endless files being submitted to the DPP, as if prosecutions in 2023 are going to make any difference to us now.

    It's true when people say that we had a more restrictive regime in place for longer than elsewhere in Europe.

    But what they fail to take into account is that these rules and regulations were incredibly light touch compared to other countries.

    So they went on forever, but enforcement has always been piss poor.

    Hospitalised: 1,846
    ICU: 184

    I find it remarkable how the ratio is stable around 10:1
