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

Paul Reid: “Our ICU cases haven’t risen, they have remained stable. We will see what this looks like in a week’s time,” he said.

ICU Cases Jan 9th: 82

ICU Cases Dec 9th: 115

So a 29% decrease over the past month is "remaining stable"?

Hospitals up today by almost 80, I recon it's due to the weekend effect so hoping to see a decrease tomorrow

That's not a silly question at all. Historically side effects from vaccines if any crop up within the first couple of months. They hardly ever suddenly just appear long after. And as well as previously mentioned mrna technology has been trialed and researched for over a decade. The likes of AZ etc used similar technology to the flu vaccine. But of course they still monitor the effects long after and are doing so right now.

Why the vaccines tend to wane quickly is similar to why natural immunity also wanes after a similar period. Its to do with the coronavirus itself rather than any vaccines. Our antibodies just don't remember and keep producing antibodies for coronaviruses for long. Thankfully our T cells which protect against severe disease do a much better job of that though.

...but what are you actually doing to stop your liberties being erased one by one? Just bitching about it on Boards...or actually doing something? Anything?

I'm amused that you think any of this is relevant, or if you think this is some kind of "gotcha", as if I would actually give a toss. I stand by every word I ever said, no matter what you think of it.

Jokes on you though, I'm actually a TD who works in ICU during the day and fights crime in the Dail at night, I fight for your liberty every day except Thursdays.

Of course it's relevant. You are constantly posting about the cowardly Irish doing nothing and taking it all lying down, so it's a perfectly valid question to ask what you yourself are doing about it. Not sure how you telling everyone could give away your identity...? I do actually think you're doing nothing about it except post here which means you are just as bad as all those cowardly Irish that you constantly post about. You're all talk and bluster.

And?

I thought you were going to follow up with something relevant, no worries.

The next 2 weeks are critical. Where have I heard that before?

I guess it needs to start trending down to say we've hit the peak is it? With the the maxed out testing etc they can't really know the peak until then?

Yep a real sense 'ah look we'll be grand' from that

That's a bingo!
