This thread really is crazytown. What flucking "hysteria" are you all seeing? Only hysteria is here with the usual oddballs. Get outside for a walk. Jeez.

Some people talk a lot of tosh on both sides.

My niece, five years old, had Covid 6 months ago and has a cough ever since. If that doesn't cause concern for anybody then you are living under a rock.

I'm the only sibling of six that hasn't yet caught covid. I'm not avoiding people but I rarely drink so I'm not in pubs. I wear a mask in crowded areas but not when things are normal. I'm sure I'm going to get it at some stage but I'd like to avoid it as I've went this long without getting it even though I think that's unlikely.

You have people still wearing masks walking down the street and they are one extreme but on the other side you have those who are going around hugging people and saying look at me I'm in a crowd and there's no worries. I'd put both of these groups in the same category as not very informed about covid.

Nobody is talking about hysteria on a day to day basis. I haven’t seen any either. It’s completely normal out there. It was pointed out on the media, social media etc.

Maybe that some people suggesting an insurrection on the small state Wyoming in the USA to take it over to set up commune camps to shut them off from normal people isn’t hysteria then. 🙄 Apparentlly a million people getting together might pull it off.

99% of people are back to normal from what l see everyday ,there's no hysteria anywhere .

Newspapers print bad news ,good news doesn't sell ,it's as simple as that.

Posters searching the internet everyday looking for Covid articles on rte or online polls just to come onto boards and moan that's there's another article or poll is just bizarre .

2 1/2 years of Covid you'd imagine they'd be glad to get back to normal instead of making up this nonsense about hysteria out there .

i guess you have never complained about anything in your life on boards etc? I think all the fearmongering and hysteria over the last 2 years was pathetic. Do you remember Clare Byrne and her little fun pods or the pig pens at concerts?

Just because someone criticizes the media they seem to get the usual response “ nothing else to fill their time” blah blah” . Nothing further from the truth. I’ll be on Route 66 next month. Life couldn’t be better.

It makes me wonder if some people enjoy their doom fix from the media. Is that why some jump on the high horse to defend them whenever they are criticized? Or maybe some on here work in the media?

As someone else pointed out real life is normal out there. It’s just the media. But if anyone in the real world tried to dictate how i live my life they will be told where to go very quickly.

you are obsessed with the media the country has moved on i would advise you to also !

Lol. There you go again. I criticized an entity. It offended you. No surprise. There’s a difference between a debate and an obsession. I pointed out how people in the media and social media behave. How is that obsession? It turned into a debate when some jumped on their keyboards claiming obsessions.

Says the poster who put up a nonsense post hoping to prove some point when clearly you are a WUM. Well done, would you like a pat on the back?

No i don’t need to google about Covid. Sure don’t i have all the info i need on this thread from the experts 😉 BTW if you check my posts you’ll see i mostly post about positive news regarding covid. But i think that might upset some.

Thanks for the update lol

The Irish media have been a disgrace throughout Covid. Anyone that says otherwise is either living in a fantasy world or on a wind up.
