Scare mongering might be more accurate

We need to stay locked down to avoid another lock down
Nphet warned that if the health service loses control of the virus now it could result in a wave of new cases which could last into the summer.
This would put at risk plans to allow the hospitality industry to open during the summer months.
It would also mean there would be no economic boost for the tourism industry as staycations would not be permitted if Covid-19 transmission remains high.

The vaccines seem to be doing a great job based on all the evidence. The issue will be when do we forget about case numbers as the primary factor in making decisions and open up
Serious test of the governmentās balls now. Iād imagine they will go ahead with the already mooted lessening of restrictions to not lose face. If they donāt weāre fucked. NPHET will not advise any loosening of restrictions at any stage. They are not concerned with public health they are concerned with covid case numbers only. The ICUs are at 25% capacity now and vaccination rollout will ramp up so that the majority of those who could end up in hospital will be vaccinated by the end of April so if we canāt start loosening up then we may as well throw our hat at it.

Can someone tell the cabinet that itās all a cod
This is the exact same game they played in October, dangling Christmas.
They are a pathetic and worthless advisory group, career civil servants who are both risk averse and media hungry. How did it get this far?

khmer rouge had the right idea taking out the egg heads
Itās a funny old virus, it was probably floating about Europe in the autumn, and if it was in Europe it was probably everywhereā¦but no one noticed. It probably needed a good push from China to get it going
Back under the bed ye fucks
Totally fixated with cases. There is no risk tolerance. More waves. More grave concerns. Its pathetic. My main point though is that irrespective of mass vaccination and results from that, NPHET will focus on the negative and adopt a glass 5% empty mantra. That there is still risk that vaccines do not offer 100% efficacy and they will play up variants. We wonāt see a return to any semblance of normality until they fade into obscurity.

Iād imagine the 5 million that fled Wuhan in the weeks before their lockdown had something to do with the spread.

Do you have an opinion at all mate other than to just share the latest bad news?
If I were you at around 25 years of age, I would be very much against this. The best years of your life been taken away - but you seem to be more interested in obscure betting leagues, reddit shorts etc,
I find that a bit odd to be honest. Maybe its a generational thing or youāre a complete oddball.
Iām not sureā¦find it hard to fathom how youāre happy to throw away that in your 20ās though for a few cans of cider and another easter egg.
The beatings will continueā¦

Another 4-8 weeks of living with Covid. A great opportunity to try a zero Covid approach really.
ā¦but without the bit about morale improving

Move back to Wexford.
1 trip upto Dublin every two weeks would be manageable.
I think youād be foolish not to do it if you can.
