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

You can't just double the cases for November.

You can match cases like for like per 100k if you want. (while adjusting the death ratio to its parent case number) But doubling cases in November effectively halves the deaths

Possibly the biggest error I've seen on any covid thread so far.

Not sure why that has to be highlight lol

if November 2021 had 116K cases and it IS the delta variant then you can't double the number again. The 116K already factors in the transmissibility because it is the fecking variant that is being counted.

Thats like saying, I am going to count cows in a field that are black and white. And then getting to 100 black and white cows, then finishing off by saying. Well black and white cows are 4 times more likely to be in Irish fields so we now count 400 cows in the field.

.

Ah ok, didn't realise. I'll edit the post.

he says without a shred of irony🤣

We have a rolling 7 day cases average of 4885 and a rolling 7 day deaths average of 8. That's 0.16% fatality rate in the cases we're aware of.

These increased restrictions are hysterical madness.

That's a good point with the age breakdown.

They do give a detailed age breakdown on the ages of the vaccinated, but not in the unvaccinated. As the unknown % is so high, you can't simply take the HPSC weekly report of subtract the age breakdowns to get the unvaccinated numbers.

I'd also question the older ICU reports, they had 3 categories, fully vaccinated, partially and unvaccinated. I wonder if there was a significant unknown figure that was lumped in with unvaccinated?

I made the mistake on the new reports to take the vaccinated and partially vaccinated figure away from the total and assume the remaining figure was unvaccinated.

My issue isn't the amount of money earned....its the months of berating and pontificating , and without a doubt, sneering that these posters are doing from an Ivory Tower where they have been wholey untouched by the financial pain and suffering that so many people are now dealing with now for almost 2 years.

Its quite frankly disgusting to me to brag about your earnings and how well you are doing, while all the while taking this moral fukcing highground telling others how great they are and how sh1t everyone else is. All the while people are losing every god damn thing they have worked for. I've had enough now. And I'm not the only one.

"All in this together"?

We are in my hole

In fairness to the dude he only mentioned his €1200 in response to a fairly abrasive comment from me.

I don't think he was meaning to generally brag about his income.

With all due respect to you, there was ZERO need for his pay to be mentioned by him at all. It was done to brag and gloat and keeps in tone with the rest of their posts. Post inflammatory things...expect a reaction. And in the current climate, bragging about pulling in €1200 A DAY when people have been reduced to €350 PER WEEK, is intended to rile and gloat.

Exactly. People have used it as an excuse for an internet pile-on. Very unedifying.

Double jabbed? For a moment i thought i was seeing things and thought i read doubled chin.

Don’t worry my friend. Worry is from stress and there are many things to be grateful for. There seems to be the elusive promise of happiness at the next thing … when the environment is fixed, when the virus is gone, when the homes are built. 😅 This material world is the world of Maya (illusion) -yet the eternal promise of happiness can only come from inside of yourself, not from any government, religion, policy.

Everybodys action in the material world is toward happiness -drinking, disagreeing with someone, buying something … all temporary. As the veil of illusion is beginning to dissolve the inner glow of your true self will shine brighter. The world of maya is in the process of dissolving - that is why corruption comes to the surface quickly now -football, church, olympics, banks, everywhere. The illusion of happiness in the external world has been shaped by our thought-consciousness & fortified by the resulting societal structures created -from roads to power hiarchies.

As the concentration of consciousness (life force) increases , dissolving maya- there is a purging of lower vibration aspects of the collective psyche. So it can seem that the world is falling apart , but worry not, merely chaos before big change 🙂 The illusion of external power can appear to become more draconian as that aspect of power (as an energy) attempts to maintain , assert its position. This is why the great spiritual texts speak of a period of great darkness before before the dawn. Part of the great drama 😅

It is difficult also for people to connect with their spiritual faculties since they are more obscure & intangible at this period- (it’s is easier to become engaged with the world of maya & seek happiness -perhaps in a metaverse 😅) . This partially accounts for the apparent demise of religion and increase in negativity (substance abuse, gambling, crime, lower morality on tv etc)- it’s a phase . When the innate spiritual faculties reawaken - such joy will be felt. Arguments will seem trivial, but an awareness of what has blocked your joy will be tangible -anger, fear, sadness etc and an opportunity to purge these in order for an elevation in consciousness. All will be well but it is a bumpy road …in the pandemic- there is division but for the elevation in consciousness, we are in it together 😅

Peace and happiness to you 🙏😀🌤

That's what the Belfast protest was labelled as.

A bit grim in Europe at the moment to say the least. But some ray's of hope starting to appear.

Those Baltic countries seem to be cooling off rapidly after a horrendous time

Eastern Europe look like slowing right down now after a total disaster for a couple of months

Scandanavia on a knife edge

Central Europe in a real bad way

France, Italy, Spain and Portugal look next to get hit

Ireland & UK more or less stood still

20 years ago, the reaction to Coviid would have been entirely different. Social media is a huge driver of the hysteria to Covid. Traditional media has had to become far more strident in an attempt to stay relevant. Combine all this with a generation of populist politicians and you have our current completely disproportionate reaction to Covid.

People will look back on this and be baffled we flushed so much money away on something so relatively harmless - that money could have been so much better spent on a myriad of other issues.
