The future may well be horrendous with climate change. So in short, be grateful for what we have. We are not entitled to have a life that we choose, thats a first world recent concept. IMO

    What the **** am I after reading here.

    Close to a 700 drop in a week re hospitalizations ?

    How can they drop so many in a week, or are these people that caught covid in hospital and now recovered.

    We had a ton of cases and hospitalisations in a short time period, it follows that we will see steep discharges. Unfortunately ICU cases are slower.

    So now the mutated variants are mutating... Worrying considering scientists see this as a virus that doesn't mutate that often.

    I'm starting to think I'm not gonna see a tan line for another year.

    Not directly related to the cases in Cork/Kerry but the Astrazeneca vaccine is not approved for use in over 65s in Sweden and Germany.

    I think these things should be open for debate. Thread banning is not the way to go.

    Nowhere in that article does it state that those people died as a direct result of receiving the vaccine, which is what the other poster was insinuating in their post.

    Any other questions, my PM inbox is open, do not respond to this on thread

    The rationale for Germany not approving for over 65s is not in anyway related to safety. To try to conflate the two represents either a gross misunderstanding or a blatant and deliberate misrepresentation

    It seems that the strategy at this point is not going to change. No plan for strict measures that have worked in other countries. Eternall lockdowns is the plan, vaccines here and there. Maybe the next generation will see a world without restrictions. We are dumped in the garbage and it has been set on fire.

    Not gonna respond to daft questions. Read the news. Europe has failed and destroyed the lives of its residents. Because "the people will never accept temporary short authorotative measures" but they will apparently accept endless lockdowns and misery. Sure.

    You're the one that mentioned other countries if you don't want to say which ones that's fine although I suspect there's a reason you don't.

    If anyone thinks that restrictions will last longer than they really need to then read this:

    Massive inconvenience the past year

    But we're moving from being restricted to being vaccinated and next up is excluding new variants from entry and booster jabs

    It hasn't gone smoothly but it's been a predictable enough path from the time the virus appeared

    If you are genuine in this, you need to relax. It's simply not true, not even close to true.

    There may be minor restrictions here and there by the end of the year but by and large this is almost over. Come September 70% of the population will be vaccinated. Restrictions will ease gradually from March on. The nightmare is almost over.

    Hopefully cases continue to decrease at this rate and I think they'll find it hard to not reopen some things in march. I doubt hospitality will but others should.

    I think it will be a while yet for hospitality to open. But schools, construction, click and collect, non essential retail etc will open ip gradually when numbers are below 200 - 300 a day.

    I'd hope so. I can't see hospitality opening til April at the least and maybe post May bank holiday, but if we're at 2-300 in 3-4 weeks and hospital numbers keep on decreasing at the current rate, they'll hopefully open non essential retail, gyms, hairdressers etc.

    This is going to happen in about 3 weeks - and it will be a real crisis for government - because deaths and cases will be low - and we will be all locked down for no reason.

    The deaths announcement today was a disgrace. As it was to try make things look worse.

    Erra they'll still be far too slow and cautious

    Painfully slow opening again they're promising no matter the cost to the economy

    You do realize that you have 3 months to register a death in Ireland? Do you seriously think that Government are massaging numbers for effect?

    Why would you see conflict between government and Nphet? The government is elected to run the country, Nphets job is to advise government and can be disbanded by the health minister .

    Just zen out. All the ranting here won’t change much will it?

    Sorry for those, say under 30. But without sounding condescending, they are coping. Speaking from close experience here! No me I’m older and accept things as they are,. Not much I can do about it.

    And if the new virus strains evade the vaccines and spread, what then?
