Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

The only way we are getting out of this is if people stop getting tested! Seriously...why on earth is a vaccinated person sending themselves to get tested!! Just stop and go on with life.

If cases go down and there's only a trickle going into hospital it looks better and we might get out of this **** show because it's all about the optics to those in charge.

The question, which has been asked, is whether plans are being made on, that NPHET modelling is the best decision maker. Now, nothing was ever going to change until the end of our vaccination programme so you can make sense of the first part of it. Otherwise, it's better to wait until the plan is actually published.

It is really not up to me to instruct posters on the proper use of commas, it's a pause to separate ideas, and I likes me commas. The rest is just an angry, scattergun rant. I'm waiting for the actual plan but I guess you're not.

Where did you come across this knowledge about a wonder drug that can cure the symptoms of Covid?

This medicine is provided via IV to patients admitted to hospital who are not yet on oxygen but are at risk of progressing to severe disease.

The efficacy rate in trials was very promising, to the extent that some trials were cut short (not ethical to continue when treatment appears to be highly effective). This should help the situation.

I'm not sure what you mean though about it not being reported, etc. It's a new weapon for doctors in a hospital setting. It's not a "cure" that is 100% effective in all scenarios. There have been numerous antibody style treatments developed and implemented by doctors on the front line throughout the pandemic. Methods of critical care have also evolved significantly. Not all of this is suitable for reporting.

They've already taken away their daily 6pm tv updates, weekly meetings moved to bi-weekly and the next time they meet it will have been a month... Slowly winding down the public statements I think is definitely a sign of things to come

Does an article become incorrect depending on who shares them?

the person claiming to be his aunt is very identifiable. she is either his aunt or not and if not would have been exposed pretty quick.

This isn't an anti vaxx campaign it's the guys family ffs .

His death was on the news yesterday but oddly silence today over the claims he got sick and died quickly after taking a vaccine,

I'd bet my house if he died of covid - the papers would use him as an example to all the young that you can die.

It's not like the media have never ran stories on twitter status' before? funny how that works. the media in Ireland are trash.

I feel like you are taking the p1$$ but I'll bite anyway: thankfully I don't believe only in the mainstream information, I do my own research, and if only half of the population would do the same, we'd be in a better position by now in terms of freedom and relaxation of restrictions. Still if you want an official mainstream tabloid to tell you about this "wonder drug" : EMA gives approval for new treatment in fight against Covid (irishexaminer.com)

It's not been reported as an official cure for CV. I am talking about that range of people (about 80% of the population) that will be unaffected by CV, but still if by any chance they get infected and their condition worsen to the point that they need to be hospitalized, they could be cured with this drug. I think this could be worth to mention in at least a 30 seconds slot in the 6 o'clock news

They've been flat on vaccination rates for months and we are now ahead of them so why would I do that? We also have stellar rates in every age group over 30.

The chief driving force behind government policy is cowardice.

We are lead by small frightened careerists, completely devoid of gumption, grit, ambition or courage.

You think? I disagree, I think it would have been easier for the govt to have relaxed more restrictions, I think that what they are doing now is quite brave, keeping restrictions in the face of what is a huge public backlash... Before you get the pitchforks out I also think they are wrong on many many levels and with many of the decisions they make! But to keep restrictions at a time when the rest of the world are loosening them and the backlash that will inevitably follow on come election time, all for the sake of saving a handful of lives is not an act of cowardice

I didn't mention it was incorrect?

So the Irish Examiner reported it and it's actually being used...but you want it to be reported on TV? To what end? What's the benefit? Is every breakthrough treatment for all maladies reported on the TV? I doubt it. You post reads like one of those anti-MSM posts. "I do my own research." No, you don't. You Googled. The people you skipped over in the search results because you didn't agree with them actually did the research.
