Kinda makes sense if you think about it.

the few million petri dishes doesnt seem to be a concern in the uk or israel. there's talks of international travel being established by the summer for their citizens unless you know something they don't

Anyone 30 or over on here? No kids, have parents, have loved ones, just wondered.

Seems to me that it is LC students who are bored and of course totally immature about all this. But the Shinners will sort it all out. In fairness they are in tune with the current lockdown rules.

Housing for those who won't do it for themselves is Harry Potter's dream. AKA Eoin OB. Covid has softened his cough.

How would there be restrictions when most of the population have the vaccine?!

Leo and the government said there could be a 'fourth wave' this winter. Not my words.

They said if that occurs they will have to reintroduce restrictions in some form.

leo perked up the country a couple of weeks ago telling us there's the possibility of lockdown in winter 21 due to a 4th wave ive seen no one else in europe mention along with the news of continuing restrictions into 2022.

why do you feel the need to twist people's posts to make it seem as if they're saying something ridiculous when it's fairly clear what their point is? it's a recurring trick of yours on here i notice. I doubt he meant that they'll never work ever again just that their employment opportunities will be severely hampered for years after lockdown due to economic fallout but i reckon you already knew that

You are not dealing with a reasoned person there.

They can't see the 20% or so of this country who are out of pocket to the tune of tens of thousands of Euro, or the impact that will have on their future, even if they are lucky enough to get their jobs back....they can't see it because their media doesn't show them...if the media don't cover it, it ain't important in that type of mindset.

They can talk all day long about mutations though...experts on that!!!

You mean countries where there are still restrictions and strong progress is being made with vaccination programs.

I don't see the UK removing restrictions this week, do you?

We need to do more to protect the elderly and open backup.

They're doing this sneaky thing now where if there's a day where a person dies under the age of 50 they announce age ranges. Think they had age ranges of 47-105 the other day.

It's a very clever tactic. One person under 50 dies while the rest are over 80.

It's designed to have people thnking there's lots of younger people dying with it when in fact it couldn't be further from the truth.

Are the people in this thread who are “no big deal if you’re under 80”ing COVID already forgetting how screwed our hospitals were not even a month ago?

An expected benefit of being much further along in their vaccination programs.

Our hospitals are screwed up every year...this year is was a bit better.

Did you not notice how little our hospitals were stretched for the other 10 months of the year?

Yeah but we gave the virus an inch at Christmas time and we were suddenly in ICU surge capacity territory, would be totally irresponsible to let this rip through the younger population

771 currently in hospital and 153 in ICU out of a population of 4,900,000.

Think about that.

People get sick, people get cancer, people get Covid.

The government need to protect the elderly with underlying conditions.

Its as simple as that and let the rest of us get on with it.

I hope if something like this happens in the future we have one central facility to look after outbreaks.

Look, you probably mean well, I understand why you think the way you do...I just completely disagree with you.

Respiratory illness and deaths peak in mid-January every year.

We're over the annual mid-January peak but expected to spend most of the year, bar mid-summer, in 'severe lockdown'.

That's an interesting trifecta of articles about the very same study. A study that the authors admitted was underpowered. A study that predates the causal link study.

Consider me bowled the **** over.

Ya, you didn’t read them so. One is an report on a paper, another is the paper itself and the third is an article discussing the evidence in general, Fron the Journal of the American Medical Association too, not nutritionists weekly
There are articles suggesting an effect too but no conclusive trials that I can find. It is far from settled science, but as I said, vitamin d in the diets of people who live in low sun regions is important for a myriad of reasons.

wakka12 · 19-02-2021 01:14AM

Is there any country on earth facing the prospect of such severe lockdown until Summer? Any at all?
I know it's been exaggerated a bit on here the last few months about how much more stringent our restrictions here were compared to the world and it was not entirely true but as it looks now Ireland seems like it will be way out on it's own with these type of limitations on people's lives by early summer.

There's no flu or pneumonia. Only covid. So glad we managed to wipe these pathogens off the face of the earth!

I'm not sure what you're asking ypres5, which part confuses you?

normanoffside · 19-02-2021 01:15AM

I’ve been avoiding the news and watching YouTube videos from my 1 bed Appartment today.
I’m 3 weeks back in the country and from Reading the last few hours of posts I think I’ll **** off back to lanzarote for the next 3 months again. Fcuk this, better find a good Dentist in the Canary Islands.

It was probably sensible not to throw hundred of Covid patient into the mix then.

Luckily a lot of the usual flu spread was also limited by the restrictions.

It's designed to have people thnking there's lots of younger people dying with it when in fact it couldn't be further from the truth.

The data is available if you want to check it out

Yeah we were wearing stupid cloth masks made in China, squirting hand gel and doing social distancing when it suited us so I guess there was not one case of flu in the whole country.... but covid is everywhere.

Would ya ever wake up.
