    This whole forum has gone off the deep end today. Is there something in the air?

    The forum went off the deep end when the mods decided that they were going to let the place be over run with re-regs, multiple accounts holders and posters that have suddenly decided to resurrect accounts after years of inactivity.

    Consequently, the discourse is exactly as you would expect.

    Keeping the door open for re-imposing restrictions if things get out of hand again. Could be the possibility of reduced supply of vaccines too which is spooking leaders. They all put their trust in the vaccinations basket.

    Well I'd say a mixture of frustration and delight.

    Many are frustrated that we look like we are in never ending lockdown when they have their freedom.

    The rest are delighted as they believe England will be in lockdown again soon and are looking forward to when they can say "I told ye England would be back in lockdown again after a few months, we were right to stay in lockdown""

    Staying in lockdown to avoid lockdown.

    Good to see teams back doing a bit of training down the local park. About bloody time.
    Love strolling through the park and seeing games and training and all that activity going on.

    The fact things are starting to reopen here seems to be badly affecting those who wanted things to open?

    Odd but not surprising.

    What reopened? Construction that should never have being closed.

    Which is why NPHET stopped reporting the median age of death.

    More lies

    Here’s today’s press release:

    https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/adbb0-statement-from-the-national-public-health-emergency-team-tuesday-13-april/

    “The median age of those who died was 85 years and the age range was 46-102 years.”

    Seriously what do you get actually lying to people?

    Stating the fact that a lot of people who died with covid were very sick, gravely ill and dying anyway, gets people banned?

    Yet you think its ok to dismiss this fact as "crap" and "tripe" without making any effort to argue the facts.

    Yeah buried where the general public won't go looking. A bit like reporting "those with underlying medical conditions" where is this hidden now, never hear about it in the headline information anymore either.

    Professor Liam Fanning, immunologist, laying out the blunt truth on Prime Time: "We have become risk adverse. If you were concerned about the potential risk of side effects with panadol, you wouldn't take it all."
    Why drive, tucked into a steak or even get out of the bed in the morning. The risk of harm is present however minuscule, we do it anyway without second thought. And a virtually non-existent risk of blood clotting in the wider population is an acceptable one, common sense must prevail and the vaccination programme continue apace.

    You said they stopped reporting it. You have been caught out in a lie. It took me less than a minute to find that.

    Now you’ve been caught out, instead of owning it you move the goalposts.

    You just couldn’t be arsed looking for information becauae you know it doesn’t match up with your weird agenda.

    You lied. Own it.

    Isn't the next review supposed to be the start of May? Are we really keeping non essential retail closed for another 4 weeks when we have less than 200 people in hospital?

    I think too many have become comfortable with the pandemic. Not using safe effective vaccines at this point is lunacy.

    If I was offered AZ tomorrow I'd take it and I world say I'm not alone in that.

    Prescribing the decision of government to the people is wrong.

    What has really been risk adverse is the government and NPHETs approach to Covid-19.

    People not taking vaccines is a direct result of hysteria from the scientific community. The science behind the approach to Covid-19 is akin to the science of sociology, aka just make it up as you go along.

    For the week that's in it, has anyone mentioned that NPHET ate my baby? Because I'm pretty sure NPHET ate my baby and NIAC stole my jab.

    There’s a lot and I mean a lot of people who’ve become far too comfortable with this horror show. The mood is changing amongst the general public now.
    I always blame Nphet as they do advise the restrictions but it’s the government fault in the main as they fûcked up Xmas and will now only follow what Nphet say and to hell with the all the small businesses that’ll will be damaged for now and possibly forever.

    We’ve come accustomed to the blame game and numbed by restrictions. The vaccines had/have given us hope but this abundance of caution crap will be to the detriment of the people and we could quite possibly see more people dying or getting sersiouly I’ll due to this and thus lead us into continuing lockdown!

    I think the mood is changing amongst the majority of the public. Not an anger thing, just an impatience. Most people think NPHET and the others have done a reasonably good job in very difficult circumstances, but they want this to end. The vaccines are seen as the main way for this to end, and people are not happy with delays.

    I think the public are willing to take a lot more risk than officials realise to accelerate this to an end. It's for the Government to provide whatever legal and professional cover is required to allow our public health people tilt the balance towards speed and away from minimising tiny risks.

    I'd put my arm out for AZ jab too.

    It should be offered to anyone who wants it. I'd even sign a disclaimer if asked.

    Its time to open everything up - people know the risks, let them take them as they see fit.

    As the next few weeks go by I can see this happening as pharmacies start dishing out the jabs. The faster we all get a jab and are willing to sign the waiver.
    I’ll be first in the queue

    What's the point in a disclaimer when the governments have indemnified the vaccine manufacturers already to facilitate a faster rollout?

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?
