No they arent.

They are right.

Cards on table here full disclosure I have vulnerable family. Vulnerable friends.

They are my main concern. Not if the airports are back open free for all type crowds

As roisin shortall just said on tv3 people are trying to pretend the virus is Gone. It’s not gone.

The variants are getting vicious in terms of how much more transmissible it is

I will not back down or forget my main concerns of family and friends who are at risk

There's a Thai variant in the UK now...

So that's the Chinese, Indian and Thai variant...

What's next? The street food market variant?

The Connemara variant

Why haven't they been vaccinated yet? They need to contact their GPs.

Put that in Croke Park and the Dubs will beat it, easily

One thing I agree with people here on is that there is no evidence the Indian variant is of any real concern in the medium term.

Then you must also agree that the fear mongering and subtle reminders of danger and dark clouds we have witnessed over the last few weeks by officials, ministers and media is a huge concern.

They were at this back in February as well...they were wrong then, they are wrong now....in fact, it has been perpetual since last November when they first started talking about variants of concern,just after the first announcement of a vaccine. I can recall, Brazilian, Kent, UK, South Africa and now India variants...we are always told how it each one is 60% more transmissible than the last! There have been 4,000 documented variants...so far.

It's like an abusive relationship!

Philip Nolan has always been off, the majority of times with his modelling...

People on here watching the pressers: "Why can't we see these models?"
Why do you think?

What happened in January 2021 does not happen every year. The hospitals are overcrowded but that's from multiple types of illnesses. In January 2021 they nearly filled overnight from 1 type of illness.

Re your earlier post how do rate J. lambert ID's? And any good RCSI videos up lately havnt checked in on them in a while they were very informative early on regarding information and work going on on in the background re hospitals consultants research etc

The worse thing about the ridiculous 5000 max in Croke Park/stadiums will be accepted by MM and the cabinet no questions asked

Once again its all subject to change.

People want some sort of number for August 2+ months away, they're going to get it, very easy to increase that as the time gets closer, much like what has happened with previously announced measures which have subsequently been improved on closer the time.

Honestly relax for a bit, things get decided on closer the time.

25% of stadium capacity also mentioned that would be 20,000 in Croke Park.

They were talking about the Spanish variant last June!

I'm a 'vulnerable' person, I got vaccinated as part of group 7 and find the 'but the vulnerable people' argument completely ridiculous. Anyone who is vulnerable should be vaccinated already.

You said you got your first shot 3 days ago so no idea how you think you are vaccinated.

Just got first dose of Pfizer from my GP. I’m in group 7.

"It takes 7 days after the 2nd dose for the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to work. This is when you are fully vaccinated. "

I know how the vaccines work, not sure what you're trying to prove

I don't think you do after saying you are vaccinated 3 days after the first shot.

Came across him from my college days. A bit awkward 1 to 1 but talks a lot of sense re Covid and is very smart. Paddy Mallon is also very good.

I got vaccinated. I got a vaccine into my arm, therefore I was vaccinated. This is literally completely irrelevant.

This is dangerous misinformation if you believe as soon as you get the first shot into your arm you are vaccinated and protected.


Don't get me wrong I am delighted to hear another person had their first shot but please don't post false information.
