Absolutely Jim.

But it's not today the vaccine was most effective for the most vulnerable.

It was exactly 12 months ago.

However the authorities only realised a few weeks ago how effective the vaccines were for the vulnerable

You got caught out mocking another poster and have nothing to back up your fantastical world view, own that.

There are ways to know if someone had caught COVID. There is also no data showing anywhere near close to a majority of people have caught it once let alone 4-5 times like you said, you're pretty good at showing yourself up with nonsense in your short time on boards.

But as others have said, you mocking others seems to be a wind up trip you're on, which is pretty pathetic. You could of course apologise and set it right, but I doubt that would happen.

Not sure if it is completely done. I would still be a bit careful. I work with the public and in a busy office. Wear the mask when going into shops etc, Im not overly cautious and far from mental but wouldn't like to get it all the same. I tend to go with the professionals on this, if Professor Lambert who is as sound as they come is saying it is more than a cold, yesterday on the radio, I would believe him. Hopefully nobody in your group contracts it and if they do they are not very sick with it. Saying Covid is yesterday's news is unfortunately not going to get rid of it no matter how many times people keep saying that. Thankfully the boosters are stopping people from getting really sick, otherwise there would be a lot more in icu. My husband recently had an operation and the numbers were very important to us as the surgeon kept cancelling the op due to bed shortages, so not all people are mental who have an interest in hospital numbers.

Never said you were mental.

It’s finished for me , my family ,my friends and acquaintances.

Wear an optional medical mask if you need to protect your husband. None of my business. (though I hope he recovers well)

The “professionals” are not in line anymore in regards to covid. NPHET have given the green light to reopen society (and it’s about bloody time) and there’ll always be overly cautious ISAG types moaning.

Vaccinations are complete (and were so 12 months ago when the vulnerable were vac’d) and we now have an endemic GOING NOWHERE virus embedded in human existence for ever more.

What Lambert wants is a mystery to me. Continue on in a zombie half-life joyless existence ? No thanks.

Probably doesn't take a scientist to see cases will go up after St Patrick's day. People around each other watching the parade or drinking all day in a pub. Its a given. You know yourself.

All apart of living with covid - but I think living with covid also means some restrictions coming back in when cases are too high like masks on buses and shops etc. Cinemas seating people a few feet apart. Not saying this will happen in a month but I do think winter 2022 we will see certain things back.

I do expect moans on here who when that happens.

It's just an example. Cases will go up and down. Certain restrictions will be back. Then gone again. To me thats what living with covid is.

But why would they decide to bring back certain restrictions if they haven’t already? With vaccination and natural immunity i think we’ll be able to live with it as is.

Government have to be seen as doing something. In a example of say 10,000 cases a day they'll bring masks back. Stop the spread etc.

Cases are well in excess of 10k, i would estimate 20-30k at the moment would be the true reality imo. There’s a lot less testing these days. I know of 9 people who got it last week and they never submitted their results.

Honestly I’m gone beyond testing! Did it last week just to be sure, I didn’t have it and it’s the last time I’ll test! A bit of a cold or cough isn’t going to stop me living or working

You know, just because you think they are dumb, some others will still want to wear them. That's perfectly fine.

China must not have got the memo, mass lockdowns again. Or they know it's not a problem and are flexing their authority on their people to keep them conditioned.
