    People now forecasting headlines etc. Maybe just don't post in a Covid thread and enjoy your summer. Variants are going to need to be monitored gong forward. Atm its the delta one in the UK. No point in forecasting negative headlines that have yet to happen.

    I personally won't be flying with Delta Airlines anytime soon.

    We still don't get the 10pm HSE hospital reports, but the hub gets updated

    In Hospital: 70 down from 74 on Saturday, Last Sunday it was 99!
    In ICU: 27, down from 29 on Saturday, Last Sunday it was 35.
    7 day average admissions/cases confirmed in hospitals is 9 per day, down from 10 a week ago.

    Driving back from the coast, made the mistake of letting the dial rest on Radio 1. Reporter on the street getting the assessment of hospitality owners finally reopening for business tomorrow. Two leading questions she asked, "do you think the pubs will trigger another wave?" & "will people ever want to drink indoors again?". Over to Newstalk before I damaged the radio. RTÉ are clinging tenaciously to the lie that hospitality is primarily responsible for the spread of Covid, they can't resist throwing digs left, right and centre. As if pubs, cafés & restaurants haven't been harassed enough already with extended closures. Give. Them. A. Chance.

    Some other RTE genius will probably blame travel for Covid outbreaks and the next day will blame football crowds, and the next day will find yet another scapegoat. It's all single-issue nonsense catering to the simple-minded

    We had 124 in hospital June 6th 2020 and 36 in ICU and nobody vaccinated compared to 3 million now, needlessly to say the decision makers are a lot more cautious this summer.

    It's great to be able to say confidently it's all behind us now. You really don't realise just how much the last year of fixation on one issue and media attention does to your health until it's over . Like a noisy machinery you get used to and then feel such relief when it's turned off. It's such a weight lifted, ive started work again , meeting new people , doing social activities again and it feels like such a renaissance of mind and body. It's like my brain has awoken from hiberbation , I feel interest in things again for the first time since I can remember, we really didn't live the last 1.5 years

    Went back to the office 2 days last week.

    Went for a drink after work on Friday.

    As above, felt a different person.

    Looking forward to getting to use the local gym again next week.

    Let's be clear here, and I've got my two jabs already, it's great to have these vaccines but it's not necessarily the end of this. We still need to be careful, we still need to have a bit of cop on.
    It's not going back to normal yet, close to it but you don't want to be mixing with people you don't know who may be carrying variants that your vaccine doesn't work great against.
    We have to wait for most of the world to be vaccinated to relax fully.
    I'm looking forward to a great summer where I can meet up with loads of friends and hopefully have a holiday.
    What I won't be doing is going anywhere with crowds of strangers who I know next to nothing about.

    And again on all the moaning about RTE in particular and others. Will you just not listen to them if it bothers you that much. It'll lead to a much more stress free life for you.

    We have to wait for the world to be vaccinated that is true. There's nothing to suggest we should be fearful of contact with other people as long as we're fully vaccinated. Even better of course if they are fully vaxxed too.

    At the very worst vaccines have bought us a limited window of freedom. It'd be foolish not to use that opportunity either way.

    I’ve had covid already and it was little more than a bad head cold, and all my vulnerable family members have been vaccinated so I’m sure I’l do just fine, as will over 99% of the population

    What are you basing that on? Fresh air is my guess.
    We already know that having covid isn't certain to protect you.
    We already know that there's an Indian variant that Pfizer doesn't do so great against, so much so that it's expected there'll be a booster before Christmas.

    I’m basing it on science.

    We already know that catching a virus gives you natural immunity for a long period of time

    We already know that all approved vaccines prevent severe illness and death against all variants of covid

    There has been booster jabs in the making well before the Indian variant appeared

    Literally everything you said is wrong. Where are you actually getting your information from?

    Not with this, I know two.people who contracted it at the same time. One still has immunity the other didn't after six months.
    I believe they currently have the certain immunity period at four months for coronavirus.

    That's not true either. There's already vaccinated people who have contracted the virus and suffered with it.

    And they did not know about the problems with the Indian variant.

    Most of this is in the news regularly. I read the CDC website regularly. I read a lot of stuff. I don't read anything off social media or anything with an agenda.

    NPHET only this week issues guidance that following having Covid you are immune for at least nine months

    Do you work for the media or something ? No vaccine is 100%. Even with the original strain some vaccinated will get the virus. The vaccine works excellent against the Indian variant, it’s not quite effective after the first jab.

    Matt Hancock mentioned today the Delta variant is 40% more transmissable but vaccines are equally effective against all variants after the second dose. You seem angry that this is coming to an end for some reason.

    Its obvious from your previous posts that read click bait mainstream media posts and take it for what it is without doing adequate research.

    Should we stay in lockdown forever because a tiny proportion of people get covid twice or get it after being vaccinated?

    I thought the whole point of restrictions were to stop the hospitals from being over run?
