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

The CEO of Netcare, South Africa's biggest healthcare network, says that Omicron symptoms are "far milder", that hospital admissions and community transmission seem to be decoupling, 90% of people in hospital with it are incidental findings, and he thinks the wave can be adequately treated at the tertiary care level.

So that's all looking very good for everyone except vaccine companies and the people who caused those big stock jumps in vaccine companies on the 26th.

Fingers crossed.

That poster is a class A WUM, take no heed

Boris Johnson is a fúcking joke. He's a liar and a charlatan. He got very little right apart from the initial speedy vaccine roll out which we ended up overtaking them with by a long way.

• England has been living restriction free for months, they reopened in July while our idiots talked about hurricane force Covid Delta winds hitting over the summer.
• England didn’t roll out the vaccine passport in the summer - they’re suddenly reluctantly doing it after this scandal broke. Ireland couldn’t wait to roll it out, NPHET keep requesting it get expanded at every opportunity also.
• All festivals in the U.K. went ahead, and in the North. Ireland cancelled electric picnic and had no major proper concerts or events this summer and have once again screwed over the entertainment industry here.
• Ireland’s vaccine uptake was high because the Government, NPHET and a group of Professors promised our lives would return to normal if we took it. That didn’t happen. In fact as soon as many people had taken the second dose, Pfizer started with press releases re ‘waning’. Ireland decided Oct 22nd coming into winter would be pretend day - they were fast to turn that one around. Now we’ve Luke O’Neill and Varadkar attempting to change the goalposts pretending it’s suddenly a ‘3 dose vaccine’ with Varadkar also saying maybe even a 4th dose needed.

You can't be wilfully* unvaxxed since being unvaccinated is the natural state. What you are is wilfully vaccinated and that is your personal choice. So good for you. Thats like saying "you are wilfully sober".

Yes its a massive over reaction. The pandemic guidelines were always the same until 2020. You can't dispute they changed that and we followed china. Lockdowns were advised against.

And it's not because this is some super scary virus. It's really not for the majority and should have been treated as such.

Focused protection of the elderly.

Realisation that children are LESS at risk to covid than they are to influenza.

Governments make a balls of everything all the time. Look at the children's hospital. If that was run by a business it would have gone bust or had to make better dealings to get it done on time.

I think the governments over react because that is fundamentally their structure. They GOVERN! There is a thing in aviation called "over-controlling" and it is when a pilot starts to react to their own inputs. Thats what we have here. A bunch of ministers who believe they are vital at managing a virus like it gives a ****. Hence all the nonsense rules.

€9 meals wasnt over reacting ??

Its a feed back loop of shite management. The reality is for all the "work" they have done they have effected very little of the outcome. In fact their over reactions was the primary reason why so many elderly died in 2020. They put covid sick patients into nursing homes.

We can see this based on the different levels of government intervention and the number of cases.

I am sorry you think that we have been steering the spread of the virus for the last 2 years but we haven't.

If we were controlling the virus then you would see some countries getting no massive wave in the winter months in the same regions in Europe.

We painted ourselves into a corner by thinking this wasn't going to be seasonal. We fucked up by being closed all summer, and I don't for a second believe NPHET didn't know that by October 22nd cases would begin increasing as they always do for coronavirus in our respiratory virus season.

It will all come out in the wash. You don't want to see it because you can't admit you wasted the last 2 years following silly rules in the hopes you would get your freedom back.

Guess what, WWII power in Britain lasted for 14 years. They won't give you freedom back because you bend over and inject yourself 2,3,4,5? times

But keep on taking your jab. I don't care. It's your body.

This is a man that stole a field beside his house and is a complete ****

It's not like our lot are reintroducing restrictions and blaming the unvaxxed as a distraction from the terrible health system they preside over. No sireee, that would never happen.

Nail on the head for me. We are really on dangerous grounds when this stuff becomes a common occurrence, We have being told so many lies regarding the Emergency Powers and how they wont be needed but they still continue, the Digital Passport would only be used for travel but that's being used in every place expect shops. A big issue with this country is if it doesn't affect you then why should you care for others but as the post above state when it does start to affect you then you've backed yourself into a corner as when it all started you remained quiet cause again "it doesn't affect me so i don't care" attitude

Pat wants to feel safer. It’s never enough unfortunately as it seems that Pat is now mildly traumatised by his own fearmongering. He’s becoming increasingly irrational.

Once you start jabbing the over 5’s we’ll be hearing about the “pandemic of the toddlers” followed closely by boosters for over 5’s.

The problem with Kenny and more so with Luke O’Neill is that the latter likes to take an optimistic look at all things covid. The problem is that nearly all of his pronouncements have been wrong and this actually starts to really crush peoples spirit.

O’Neill originally wanted us all to believe that vaccines would end it. Then he made such a song and dance about a 3rd booster providing 18 months protection. Now we’re onto a 4th shot…

I think a lot of people have tuned out and realised that it’s all just random conjecture at best and carrot on a stick at worst.

The funny thing is our media are all over this and are appalled but heaven forbid our cowboys do anything and its gets hidden or we get a 10 sec clip about it.

Our media are terrified to ask hard questions in case they lose their seat on the gravy train

Would you believe not one voice against the vaccinations of under 12's for a bit of balance, even someone who is head of some parents group Eskirne or some was her name and she was practically drooling at getting the kids vaccinated and couldn't wait to get her 3 year old jabbed.
