    Why don't someone get fired for this lack of prep? Why is this tolerated or seen as normal in this country? How can he have a face to declare this and proudly say "we are busy"?

    Also only 300 general beds our of 11K seem to be available. This country is only more concerned about teaching their men about how to collect and carry dog poop than doing any sort of real planning and administration. Rediculous.

    One major incident in this country building collapse train crash etc and we have instantly none

    It’s pathetic

    It is like watching a train crash but in slow motion. No one has a fu##king clue what is going on. Just sack NPHET, open the pubs indoors, i'm just trying to book my holiday to Portugal.

    Pubs and restaurants may support the vaccine pass in return for distancing being abolished for the vaccinated. Makes sense.

    I’ve no doubt this has been answered but things changing so quickly so I am unsure and all the looking up I do is so grey, we’ve had a sudden family bereavement in london, my dads brother and my dad passed away some years ago. The death was non Covid related and I am the only nephew in Ireland so feel I should travel for a few days to pay condolences. I have had my first dose of vaccine. Could anyone please advise what I need to do to enter and exit london, it is only going to be for 3 or 4 days when they have verified the funeral. Many thanks.

    Sorry for the loss.

    Just get a flight back to Belfast and avoid the hassle.

    Remember some are championing cervical Tony for a presidential run and it's not a small minority either. That's the mentality you are dealing with here.

    Sorry for your loss. Try the Travel thread for more up to date comments re travel. Basically you check UK rules for your travel into UK, and check Ireland rules for your travel back home. AFAIK your travel into London will be like normal, returning home you'll have to get a private PCR test in London within 72 hrs of your return travel home, fill in Ireland's passenger locator form, and then self quarantine once home for 10 days.

    FWIW this was my experience in May... https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=117170107

    there has been chronic mismanagement in the delivery of services, the public sector funnily seems to hire more managers than anyone else, but they dont seem to be able to deliver improvements in the front line. despite the mountain of cash thrown at them.

    Three weeks and critical ICU level will be hit. Algarve worse than Lisbon / population. They will be in lockdown in a month.

    Those are levels of restrictions we can only dream about here.

    I don't see any mention of the single dose Janssen vaccine that's available from today. Is anyone going to register today for it?

    Did you do it through a phone call? The pharmacy lists on the vaccine portal only give an option to call.

    Did it online when they still had it up. They've taken it down since then

    Nothing is open after 11am here anyway. At least people can sit in cafes and restaurants during the day and enjoy a level of normality that we are a long way from here.

    On a positive note Covid hospital numbers in England are one tenth they were in December when new case numbers were the same, clearly vaccines working and working well.
    Professor Powis said there are "far fewer" patients in hospital compared to the winter and spring of last year.

    He said there were about 23,000 COVID cases a day in mid-December – which is "pretty similar" to now in England – and about 15,000 people in hospital.

    But today there are about 1,700 people in hospital, which is "almost 10 times less", he added.

    When this is said and done Covid will have done more damage to people's mental health than anyone could imagine. People are still walking around others on footpaths ffs like it's Ebola on steroids.

    Make no mistake Covid was a windfall for doom mongers and the media and they are finding it almost impossible to let go. It's beyond sad really.

    I'm not happy but ICU in Portugal is at 55% of the critical level now. If it increases as it is for 3 weeks ICU capacity will be breached. Once again hopefully not.

    The pubs/restaurants really need to get new representatives.

    The arrogant disregard for public health displayed is crigny and downright dangerous.

    I do not trust them one bit.

    If everyone granted entry is fully vaciinated or has a recent negative test, where is the danger? It will have to be done sometime. A lot of these business will not be viable without a certain number of people allowed on the premesis.

    Seems like a resonable request to me. As long as it is monitored. although i suspect by the time anything is put in place vaccinaation levels will be such that it is not necessary. due to heel dragging form the government.

    I can see where they are coming from and totally understand that they need to get people back in but it will be a free for all and they will let everyone in. There are pubs at it already.

    All well and good but what about people who simply are unable to access a vaccine or only have 1 dose ?
