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

You'd wonder whether those two years of not getting colds and other stuff has something to do with that, in that our immune systems are not fully primed.

It's not confined to the Midlands.

Most major Hospitals are experiencing something similar.

There is absolutely NO requirement for this scenario,which is largely down to a heady mixture of fear induced Hypochondria and the weird insistence on continuing the use of questionably accurate PCR tests,then heaping even loopier Antigen testing on top of the mess,before providing (at what cost ?) an online reporting mechanism,all of which is leading to our Hospitals seeing at least 50% more attendees than would be the case if Ireland had simply ended the entire Pantomine.

With the upcoming recession,very obviously going to threaten EVERY Irish Person's standard of living,it is worth asking just how many of the Covid-19 generation will be Physically or Mentally prepared for what's on the horizon.

The Country has collectively taken flight from any principles of commonsense,resilience and self-confidence.

The end result,as is becoming more obvious each day,is an Irish Society limping along,between bouts of "Vulnerability" , Hospital Visits,and as many Antigen tests as required to keep the Social Welfare "Enhanced Payment" criteria satisfied.

The Country has become mired deep in melancholy,to a level not seen since the 1940's and that does'nt bode well for us managing to see the next few years through in a somewhat well fettled condition.

End ALL Emergency Health Legislative elements.

End ALL public Covid Testing.

Make Ireland Great Again (with apologies to Donald) 🙂

Quite the incoherent rant but whatever 🙄

People are planning weddings, birthday parties, concerts etc.

Covid restrictions are OVER.

It seems only older people are still wearing masks, probably likely to be mass goers. Conservative types.

It's mad how many people are annoyed about other people wearing masks. It's a personal choice and there should be no shame in it. The fact that you feel you have to justify yourself to strangers on the internet by saying that you are immune compromised is sad in itself.

Omicron has changed everything, even holohans outlook

It's like Holohan and Government are trolling the hysterical betwetters at the moment - it's great to see!

In reality, they are simply getting on with things like the vast majority of us, which is even better to see. Fair play to them.

You would have to wonder if is there any need to be isolating now at all - if they can bring the days down just like that.

It seems the number of days isolation is now not based on science but depends on how covid is affecting workplaces. They're making it up as they go along.

NT breakfast were saying it could be as early as when symptoms pass

It's actually one thing I'd like to see being kept is people staying home when they're sick, what good does going into work do except for spreading the illness around?

Stuff like awards from work for not taking sick days should go as well for the same reason

It worked well for them back in the early days. Now it's more trouble than it's worth, even NZ and AUS see that

That authoritarian shitehole of a country were pretty much free of any restrictions for must of last year

We were more restrictive for most of 2021 than China, let that sink in
