Coronavirus - Here come the variants

Thomas_Brady · February 25, 2021, 9:02pm

The flu season is nearly over. We gave them their time in the limelight and obeyed restrictions for hospital staff to work… It’s time to move on.

Those poll respondents have shoved it right up RTE and Irish Twitter’s arse

johnnysachs · February 25, 2021, 9:05pm

Thanks for posting that. That warmed the cockles of my heart. 30% in favour of zero covid. Essentially PBP, Lab and some SF supporters.

Tim_Riggins · February 25, 2021, 9:05pm

To think that Alan Kelly only just got on board the populist Zero Covid train

Batigol · February 25, 2021, 9:06pm

Please be “concerned” like a good man

the_man_himself · February 25, 2021, 9:06pm

30% of the population support the Zero Covid strategy. Nice round number that we can use going forward for the proportion of simpletons in Irish society

johnnysachs · February 25, 2021, 9:07pm

RTE will get a poll of Erin’s own readers or another one of those amarach polls. Dare I say anyone who watches RTE have probably been radicalised by zero covid already.

George Lee wound up like a coiled spring here on the News.

Fagan_ODowd · February 25, 2021, 9:08pm

George has all the data on the Nigerian variant.

dodgy_keeper · February 25, 2021, 9:08pm

Here he is preaching doom about the Nigerian variant.

johnnysachs · February 25, 2021, 9:08pm

Its reassuring that the majority of the population are not complete cabbages and have some common sense.

the_man_himself · February 25, 2021, 9:08pm

That simpleton Claire Byrne’s polls are the worst.

“What percentage of people that spend every night listening to RTE and my show pumping in propaganda want more restrictions in Ireland?”

Fagan_ODowd · February 25, 2021, 9:10pm

It’s a very volatile situation

Perez2017 · February 25, 2021, 9:10pm

I wonder will the nigerian variant set up an internet cafe?

balbec · February 25, 2021, 9:10pm

Fluid even

Its like a virus you get when you open the email link to clear your bank account

Irelands story with be a Netflix series in a few years
“Ireland : the quiet coup. How unelected medics took over a country”

No but it might send you a letter telling you that its found a long lost relative of yours and it wants your bank details to deposit 5 gazillion dollars

Arthur · February 25, 2021, 9:14pm

Moving in the right direction but unfortunately 67pc of people still think the restrictions now are just right or there’s not enough.

The OIUTF crew will have their own murder mystery series for middle aged white women too
