Was like something from Fr. Ted. Thought it was a p*** take.

Can someone actually explain this one to me? Why do ANY restrictions need to remain in place a second after all elderly and otherwise medically vulnerable (including the overweight) are vaccinated?

Because our health service and all it’s shortcomings, would still be overwhelmed if the virus was let rip through a healthy population. Deaths would be very low, but you’d still have too many people requiring hospital treatment.

Yeah saw a clip of what the hairdressers would look like a plastic screen with armholes through which the hairdresser could wash hair I think. Pure drivel.Someone should compile an images of 2020 book, could include 21 so far in it as well.

you could prob argue social distancing actually existed in the Hospitality industry pre covid without us even noticing

Id would of always tried to seat somewhere not near any other table/seat etc.

You could argue that, you'd lose that argument though......

Healthy people wouldn't be hospitalised because of Covid, it would hit them like a flu and they would be at worst in bed for a few days and in most cases asymptomatic. This waffle about healthy young people needing ICU beds with ventilators needs to stop. You'd get extreme outliers of course but nowhere near what you'd see with older, vulnerable people.

Once the over 60's and those with underlying conditions are vaccinated everything should be open.

Something is beginning to stink with all of this.

Does anyone think it v strange no deaths reported today? A good news story no doubt. Also paired with the roll out of vaccine to 85+.
I’ll put my neck on the line here and say there is some, let’s say decisions made with regard to release of the numbers to suit a certain narrative, today being a positive news day.

Take your conspiracy theory to the relevant forum

They actually said "The virus loves alcohol" in today's NPHET briefing when asked about pubs/restaurants, i always thought this was a boards.ie pisstake phrase.

"No new deaths today...now we need to be more vigilant than ever" - is how i imagine nphet reporting this news.

Claire Byrne just now was pretending to have sympathy for disadvantaged kids struggling with mental health due to lack of schools and social life due to the lockdown she has been championing. What a wagon.

Did she show them the plastic bubble they could spend the next few years living in?

What percentage of healthy people under the age of 55 end up in hospital with Covid?

A hefty percent of them don't even realise they ever had Covid. This virus presents next to no risk of death, serious illness or serious long term after effects to all but a very few unlucky people under 60. No amount of left wing scaremongering about "long covid" and RTE running a week of reports about the tiny percent of young people who were knocked for six by this virus will ever change that.

The gaslighting is extreme. We always socially distanced anyway. You sound like a politician.

Imagine if the swine flu didnt happen in 2009 and instead happened in 2023....would it lead to lockdown?

Anytime China want to damage western economies in the future they'll astro turf another 'pandemic' and us saps will fall for it hook, line and sinker.

From the full article here - > https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-55718553

If I can show proof of vaccination, do I have to follow lockdown restrictions?
The short answer is yes.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock says it is "important that everybody post-vaccination continues to follow [lockdown] rules", to bring the number of cases down and to protect themselves.

However, it is hoped widespread vaccination could ultimately allow some or all of the population to move closer to normality.

What ???

It's the lack of hope that kills us. Leo waffling on about how he hopes we can get to a beer garden this summer, as if we are a country that is prone to prolonged periods of weather where a beer garden is viable.

I don't want a beer garden. I want to sit on a couch/ stool in the corner, inside, with my mates. Or at the bar shooting the breeze watching a match.

The Brits give their people a bit of a carrot as to when this might happen. Leo says sure isn't a beer garden good enough.

Imagine if we only had beer gardens last summer, July/ August must have been the wettest summer in a decade. Stock wise is it even viable for pubs to operate beer garden only, given the weather unpredictability.

I thought it takes a few weeks post vaccine to kick in.

They are dropping serious hints that it is coming. I believe May has been floated. Boris is due to pubish an exit strategy by the 22nd I think.

Leo has said, maybe, beer garden, maybe summer (summer, of course, he might be defining as the warm blast we usually get up until late September which is a good 7 weeks since summer ended)

There is just no hope, and some of them enjoy it.

So they have given exactly as much information as the Irish government but somehow it's better.....

Genius

At least he has a plan.

The government's plan to move England out of lockdown will be "cautious but irreversible", Boris Johnson has said.

It's mainly obese people under 55 that end up in hospital.

This post is great. I mean you come across as the walking caricature some here claim doesn't exist in relation to pubs
