    Yeah the same places who had blue collar workers warned if they voted for BREXIT the international factories would close.

    They voted for BREXIT and the factories closed.

    There’s quite possibly a correlation to buying into conspiracy theories online etc etc. You’re seeing similar issues in parts of the US too.

    25% of cases in the North are the Indian variant. Projections today state there could 1200 cases per day by July 1st. I'm not a misery guys or a doom monger. Just relaying what they said.

    Be nice if anybody could tell us what the current death rate from Covid is?

    Source for those projections ?? I've googled and can't find anything other than public health saying the situation is stable

    Just curious to read it

    Edit: found it buried in the executives website

    It is interesting that the delta variant is present in many countries but we are only seeing fast growth in the UK. The EU is largely using Pfizer whereas the UK is largely using AZ. I wonder as more data emerges will it turn out that Pfizer is doing a much better job at stopping the spread of delta, compared to AZ.

    I found this
    "In addition, while vaccination remains effective it is somewhat less effective against Delta variant compared with Alpha variant.

    "In the event of the Delta variant becoming dominant, modelling indicates the potential for a significant fresh surge of positive cases and hospitalisations by late summer/early autumn.

    "It needs to be emphasised that this is by no means inevitable. Modelling is not a prediction and there are many uncertainties in every potential scenario."

    The Delta variant was first confirmed in Northern Ireland in early May.

    https://www.rte.ie/news/2021/0610/1227395-delta-variant-update/

    No mention of 1200 cases a day by July though

    Was it George Lee by any chance who made this statement?

    The amount of haters of an honest man doing his job is unreal.
    And all of this while his wife suffered and died from cancer. It's only been four months since she passed away.

    Imagine thinking that a man tending to his ill wife when he's not working has hidden agendas. Just unreal how crazy so many have become.

    We need to be watching Northern Ireland, they were canary in the coal mine before we went mad and opened up for Christmas and hundreds lost their lives as a result.

    The delay in adding India to the Red list in the UK is the source of this bs. Boris had a trip planned to India regarding a new trade deal and IMO the delay was due to this. Then once it was announced India would be added to the red list , it wasn't enacted for weeks. In that time over 126 direct flights landed in the UK from India whilst it was out of control there. Its sickening.

    Do people just trawl through Twitter for tweets they don't like, so that they can be triggered for weeks? It's hard to understand why some people are so obsessed with Tony H. I certainly wouldn't spend any time reading what he puts up on Twitter.

    The guy has had primary control over what an Irish citizen could do for 15 months now

    I put no credibility in his words but he does have power to determine what my democratic freedom is so I will listen to them

    An attitude like yours is why Irish media is in such a bad place right now

    The only figure that matters now is how many with the virus need to go to hospital.

    Between 30th of May and 6th of June there were 1035 new admissions in the UK with 36,736 new cases.

    That’s 2.8% which is great news really.

    Questions are being asked over there, they’re worried about their freedom day when they’ve had a lot more freedom than we’ve had to this point, I’m surprised that there aren’t more questions raised here to be honest. We seem to be waiting for the Armageddon variant to take hold, maybe we could use the massive fecking blue thing surrounding us to our advantage.

    His job is to assess the situation from a medical perspective and make recommendations on which government decides.

    He controls nothing.

    In many ways, any person going through such an awful experience, should not have been left in such a position. The government should have put him on indefinite compassionate leave at the time.

    There were 741 hospital admissions on 27 February. I don’t see the numbers released for today yet but it’s likely to be ~200.

    The difference is massive.

    It would take a million cases a week now to get to January level of hospital admissions.

    1200 cases per day in the height of summer. And yet some ot the usual suspects on this and other threads in this forum still desperately claim that Covid is seasonal. Clueless.

    Funnily enough last year we went from 105 to 75 cases in hospital on June 10th.
    Great date for a drop in numbers.

    59 is some number.

    Remember when it was north of 2,000 in Jan

    Fantastic numbers! No doubt there will be a small increase during the day tomorrow but Reid should keep doing this if he receives the data. Has made my day seeing that figure!

    Bull****, he's highly influential and you know it. He's akin to the only qualified driver on a bus carrying a peoples on roads, only he can navigate and anticipate, in a land where he's designated as the only man who speaks the language.

    he has the room and he cannot stop tweeting about it.

    He'll have his very own Christian Jessen moment if he keeps it up, it's only a matter of time. that's the beauty of vanity.

    His buddy Doctor doom nearly had one with his Aldi/LIDL tweet too remember.
