It’s gaslighting at its finest

The EU leadership in Brussels have a lot to answer for. They’ve succeeded in generating widespread civil unrest across the continent, Macron’s recent comments were an abomination, I actually hope LePen gets in at this stage and tears down the house of cards. What’s happening in Italy right now to ‘unboosted’ over 50’s under Mario Draghi (former ECB chief) is absolutely shocking. France, Germany & Austria are no better. Why are so many central EU countries following such horrendous policies?

Is there any party in Ireland opposed to the Covid pass, continued coercion, mandatory vaccination, etc?

Ireland should question its continued menbership of such an organisation as the EU with the current trajectory it’s mapping out against its own people. Are we governed by our politicians or Brussels? Where did this mandatory vaccination talk come from today? Phone calls from Ursula & her pharma hubby to NPHET? Or perhaps Gavi gave the media some new ‘donations’.

How many Omicron patients in ICU now? Purely suffering from the affects of Omicron? Is it known what percentage of people end up in ICU with Omicron?

Again tonight nearly 1 hour after new appointments for tests were released into the system there are still lots of tests available. Shows there has been a downward shift in the number of people needing PCRs. It seems maybe fewer people are becoming antigen positive and needing tests.

Considering that everyone in the country is now getting covid (25k-50k infections a day) and we have restrictions would it be fair to say..

The virus doesn't care about restrictions.

Here are some things the virus doesn't care about:

Masks

Certs

Vaccines

Early closures

We let it rip (accidentally). We had restrictions but they failed to do anything. Everyone got covid. I didn't see that coming, did you?

What's next guys...?

Over 3k tests available in Dublin this morning, great indications that peak has come and gone.

Anecdotally not really hearing of anyone contracting this in the last week or so, a lot of people coming out of isolation around now.

Fingers crossed

From Indo

Not that much extra capacity. They were like Garth Brooks tickets last week. We could have had 100k tests available and they would have been booked out.

Could still be a drop in demand due to changed rules, but time will tell.

literally 99% of the population must be vaxxed or unvaxxed recovered now.

the problem is the hardcore anti vaxxers (i mean the hoax brigade) wouldnt get a PCR presumably, even though they had it at Xmas more than likely.

the irony is, if they just got it every 6 months their lives would be so much easier and they could just live off recovery certs.

im double vaxxed and had it twice in 4 months, i wont be bothering with a booster, surely im fooking quadruple boosted or vaxxed now. joke.

A number of ladies of a certain aged all behaving the same while you are in Aldi !!! Yeh right

Everyone is now getting the much more transmissible but milder version, you mean, after the precautionary measures helped them to avoid earlier more problematic variants?

1062 in hospital this morning.

149 admissions in 24hrs, of which 74 had a positive PCR prior to admission.

116 discharges

Does that mean 70 odd contracted Covid in hospital?

Nope, hospital outbreak is one of a few possible ways.

You've also got, in for something else and tested positive on admission along with is sick with covid & couldn't access PCR testing in the community so when admitted with covid symptoms only then does the PCR get done.

Hospital numbers holding steady I see.
