The below link to most recent CMO weekly report for June 10th covers some of the above questions - https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/6a6db-weekly-report-from-the-chief-medical-officer-to-the-minister-for-health-relating-to-covid-19/

"As of 7th June, 51% of hospitalised cases were categorised as hospitalised for COVID-19, with the remaining 49% categorised as asymptomatic COVID-19 cases and potentially infectious."

"As of 7th June 2022, age breakdown of cases hospitalised for COVID-19 (N=179): 69 (39%) aged 80 and older, 57 (32%) aged 65-79, 22 (12%) aged 50-64, 26 (15%) aged 15-49 and 5 (3%) aged 0-14 years old."

"According to the latest HSE data on cases hospitalised for COVID-19 (N=179), as of 7th June 2022, 41% had received booster vaccination, 22% had completed their primary vaccination course and 37% had not completed their primary vaccination course."

I said a week or two ago on here that this shyte will start up again. The wannabe celebrities will be out in full force in the next few weeks as the numbers in hospitals increase. It’s going to get a lot worse from these zealots.

This is all just designed to get better uptake for an autumn booster campaign. It's bollox. COVID is not even the flu anymore, from what I can tell from the mortality rate. I just wish this didn't always end up in hysteria and people actually approaches the discussion rationally.

Wouldn't exactly be reading much into the headline without seeing the articles content. Donnelly basically said the same thing on rte the other day, said the advice is as stands it's recommended, if it changed he'd have to consider it. Fairly standard politicians answer tbh, I'd imagine he's probably said the same in this article. Which is basically what was also said a few months ago when we'd a bit of an uptick as well.

If they didn't win out a few months ago when the uptick was higher, I'd highly doubt they'll win out now, people need to chill a little and get on with life.

Thoughts and prayers. All those sniffles returning to staff, the horror!

We had a successful vaccine campaign and have had weaker variants this year, which are still dominant. It's over still despite your ignorant posts.

There's nothing ignorant about my posts. The irony of it.....

Sniffles is irrelevant. As long as it's potentially Covid, workers are being advised to stay out of the workplace and it is affecting workflow. Regardless of your delusions. If numbers keep going up, that gets worse.

I'm not vaccinated. I have no fear of Covid. But I do fear it's effect on weaker people. I imagine you are, so who's afraid of the sniffles now Amadán?

I am wondering whether the easing of restrictions has provided a greater(or fresher) insight as to how the virus spreads.

Different initial conditions should give different outcomes and so I wonder whether the present almost non-existent conditions of the restrictions regime have given new insights as to how this thing spreads most effectively.

I was in hospital recently on an unrelated issue and had to wait in a corridor for several hours with fellow patients who were not really wearing masks(the staff all were) but picked nothing up .

Mind you ,as all general anesthetics involve intubation ,which I was completely unaware of,I awoke the following morning with a sore throat- mildly alarmed until found out the cause.

You have never had aangover. I think you’ll find it’s a minor inconvenience and discomfort. If you are suffering as you describe, you better check with your doctor.

It hasn’t gone away you know

Luke O'Neill stated on Pat Kenny that being boosted & also catching Omnicron was the ultimate vacination.

So, as a mad idea, why wouldn't we be out promoting gathering & sharing the virus, at least amongst the healthy population.
